the article is critiquing Tolkien's world-building as too simple. I'm struggling to see how his vision of complexity would in any way not require exposition dumps constantly so as not to gloss over something and be too "simple" for him.
Overly complicated world-building requires mountains of expository prose to expose the complexity. No one wants that. They want characters and drama and entertainment. If you want world-building over a good story, read an RPG manual.
It's an option when you set up your phone as a key. If it didn't delete me and just picked the wrong profile, it'd be a great feature.
Is it already open or is it opening? Last time I talked to my friend with an EV Porsche, he wasn't yet able to use the superchargers.
Even if she were near, I'd expect it to select her profile and let me select mine. Instead it deletes my profile entirely and I need to reconfigure my seat, mirrors, and any drive settings that are now at default.
My partner and I share a Tesla. It's 'mained' under her account. About 25%-50% of the times I enter the driver's seat - it varies depending on the version it's on - it forgets my driver profile and I have to reconfigure the mirrors and seat. This bug was first reported in 2020 IIRC and never fixed. Never buying another Tesla. Their only advantage is the network of superchargers.
Same. My table names are also singular.
I'm a Relay user on Android, and the creator of Relay has said he may need to charge $3/mo for the app (previously was a buy-once for $2). It's useful enough for me to pay that much, and Reddit has every incentive and right to charge for API access. I think they did the community a disservice with the tight timeline and how they communicated the change, but I can survive $3/mo to pay for a service that I have enjoyed for well over a decade now.
I feel for moderators who have had to deal with crappy tools for so long and have had to rely on the API to get things done. I do question what Reddit has done with the VC money and the dev time they have put in. Their app is undeniably worse than the 3rd party alternatives, and the lack of decent mod tools that required the use of bots is something they should have sorted out YEARS ago. The lack of accessibility from their own app is also very questionable, and their response was to only allow not-for-profit accessibility tools to continue using the API for free. They should have addressed their shortcomings instead of features that have questionable utility, like real-time chat.
I'm torn on the Dilemma being my next because I currently still use my pinkys for double quote and quote. The 40 key layout here was what I was considering designing for myself but I'm not a fan of the inner-index offset. The Dilemma is a sweet design so I might just tweak it instead of starting from scratch, but starting from scratch would be more fun.
Hard disagree. Keyboards are a tool and should be comfortable to use.
Check out the Miryoku layout (https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku). I use a modified version. For me, that keypress is inner-right-thumb, right index, middle, and pink pressing homerow keys, and the key above my left index.
Most enthusiast split keebs run on QMK or ZMK which allow you to customize the layout as you'd like including features such as layers, one-shot mods (press shift, next key you press is shift+key), macros, and key combos (press jk to emulate shift like some people do in vim).
Cobra rates are quite affordable. I was on Cobra when I was laid off due to covid, and it was $550 a month for top tier healthcare.
Those two statements are in odds with one another. $550 is quite a large sum of money to put out each month, particularly when you don't have an income.
And, of course, the leadership aren't suffering their mistakes.
I've handled this (in Clojure) either by passing a context map through the entire stack or binding some context atom at the top and using it lower down the stack. The binding is less obvious at first glance, so I prefer to pass the context, but both make testing quite easy and reduce the need for heavy refactoring.
New Jersey and Long Island are not more expensive than what the article talks about.
Default gruvbox light's background is a bit too dark, but light+hard has been my goto for the last 6 years or so.
This is the same reason I went to gruvbox from solarized. The warmer colors keep their contrast even with Flux[0] late into the night.
I've worked with designers like this. They don't understand the product as much as they think and generally don't get the technical landscape they're dealing with. I've had to push back (successfully) and have product+design come to the team with more of a problem statement and less of a shiny Figma. The projects with problem statements tend to have less "Jira churn" where we have minor bug reports for styling or UX at the end of a project.
Finding fun in things you do is different for going to work for fun. When I still worked in an office and commuted, I'd very rarely attend any out-of-work activities. I have my own life and getting home at 10pm so I can have some beers with coworkers after work doesn't fit with my lifestyle.
And scams. Don't forget the scams.
They are coming out against advertising gambling from countries with lax consumer protection laws. If you play slots on a US-based slot machine, you're free to stream. They previously banned posting links to these sites with affiliate codes, but they can't police the streamer's Discord or other channels where these are shared. Since they don't want viewers using affiliate links and codes for these non-US-based gambling sites, they are low on options here.
These are the dumbest type of comments. People are doing real world work in FP, but because it's not the work you do (or you're not comfortable doing the work you do in FP) you're deluded to thinking that no real work gets done in it.
I still have TIS-100 under the Languages skill section of my resume as an Easter Egg. I haven't played many of Zach's recent games, but SpaceChem, Opus Magnum, and TIS-100 were some of the best puzzle games ever made to me.
My ever growing Steam wishlist with titles under $20 agrees with you.
There's a study linked in the article about how this isn't statistically how most people work. But you know, it worked for you, so let's just keep doing what we're doing.
They continued for 4+ years. That's not lying, that's time passing.
Here's but one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Massacre
Python is a multi-paradigm language, of which OO is one paradigm it supports.
