I appreciate your sense of humor

Unless, by waste, you count eating the contents of another animal’s digestive tract.
Contestants were sent home months-in, despite having excess meat stores from hunting/fishing, because of dangerous weight loss levels. They were literally starving to death even while eating excessive amounts of protein.
There’s a separate question of how “true” the show is (looking at you Bear Grylls!) but I believe the diet aspects were done in coordination with doctors.
While true I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a non-didactic codebase that uses react but not jsx.
Can anyone point to any recognizable projects or products that do so?
I have an Away carry-on and it’s nice, but no technical wonder.
Surely Roblox’ platform’s sophistication, reach, and financial potential are orders of magnitude higher than.. a suitcase.
(I know bits of their "origin story" but am in no way familiar with their early product or whether that feature was around from the beginning)
Do you feel like you’re competing with the many other app options out there with larger teams?
I’m currently building something in a similar space. I’d like to be able to devote myself to it but am worried about viability (both overall and as a solo developer). That is to say, inspired to see your post!
Another I'd throw out there are the charts for latitude vs. hours of sunlight per day by month[0].
I have never wanted a tattoo, but that's an icon that I'd consider - maybe overlay each city in which one's lived, and periodically update it..

Similarly, you might appreciate The Satyricon by Petronius. Civility of yore my ass! (Staying in theme)
I suppose it makes sense, but makes me a bit sad as I feel reconciling the strategic value in one to complement another was the magic - resources, units, and towns only have value insofar as they enhance your strategic execution. I could never get into Civilization or Rollercoaster Tycoon where it felt (to me) like building just for the sake of building or following how someone else defines "good".
And then each of Goodreads, Amazon Retail, Ingram, et al. would likely have their own internal system for isbn identification and grouping accordingly?
And I guess that means similarly, there's no isbn-analog for a series or interrelated set of "works"?
For example, searching Old Man and the Sea on isbndb returns (as you’d expect) many isbns:
https://isbndb.com/search/books/Old%2Bman%2Band%2Bthe%2Bsea
Do books have another identifier that logically consolidates editions, foreign language prints, etc.?

It’s the complete opposite of, and significantly more user friendly than, how zoom recordings synchronize meeting subtitles with audio/video playback.
In their case they only show the current line in a text message-like sidebar. As the content plays, it snaps the scroll position of the messages to current, hiding the rest. This breaks scrolling ahead or back while listening and you lose any context.
Hopefully I’m just missing a setting - I try to minimize the time I spend in there. Is there a way I can take their damn horse blinders off?
Do OSS licenses distinguish between corporate usage of repository source as code vs as data.
Interesting. I tend to view it as the opposite.
Someone else’s system might not be created using the abstractions I would have chosen but with enough head scratching you can generally at least surmise causality. And with computer systems, you can test and re-run until there’s a grain of certainty.
With biology there’s so many independent moving pieces that it feels, to me, like our explanations of molecular and cellular processes are almost certainly lacking an encompassing view. And using them to explain macro biological phenomenon borders astrology. Sure our, experiments tell us something but we interpret results as rules while neglecting the wider context. I don’t want to project onto others but I don’t think my brain is equipped to understand the emergent processes at that scope of nested, interdependent, hierarchies. If you thought object-oriented programming was bad!...
It’s an interesting service that I would be very interested in using in providing a service of my own. And I’d be more than happy to pay for it, but those terms are a non-starter, at least for me.
The year is 2040. There’s no running water. Grocery stores mandate that all purchased liquids must be consumed prior to leaving the premises.
You’re not paying for a data source at all, you’re paying for an expensive embedded application.
I don’t see how it’s remotely reasonable. The person managing this api has stricter protections on this data (though they’re not even his podcasts) than we have on our personal data.
While Empire Earth never seemed to get quite as big as many other rts games, I think certain macro-management aspects of gameplay flew under the radar. For example:
1-click to set units to explore; when multiple units were selected they would fan out to decrease fog of war.
Multi unit formation setting, to dictate the spread factor between units when moving and fighting.
Setting indefinite patrol loops (although I think I recall other games having this?).
It’s been a while since I’ve played the genre, and it seems like factorio’s really nailed the set and forget - but allow tinkering - for base management. What I want is similar automation for army control, that’s always the piece that gets tiresome with, for example, Starcraft for me.
Ultimately, I want to write a script for my civilization and be able to step into the fold to take over manual control as necessary. And then update my script. If that’s too much, being able to just define action buttons that execute scripts for selections of a certain composition.
And of course to run it in a a competitive environment against other people and see what we can all come up with :)
Admitting fault can open one to liability (sometimes legally). Although perhaps it depends on how one defines a mistake versus, say, an outright fault that people could find morally wrong.
An example that's not perfect (and I'm not arguing/defending one way or another) is Louis CK with the #metoo movement.
It seemed to me that his response was sincere and correct on the personal level. He acknowledged those he'd wronged, made clear the victims were in the right, apologized, and expressed a desire to improve his behavior. For all that, he was demonized.
To some extent, it felt like people were saying: "My god, you admitted it. You're worse than Harvey Weinstein - at least he had the decency to deny his actions."
Wow.
On my work computer, to do a simple task it often requires logging in to myriad services that need to be finagled in concert. Each with a different password that expires regularly, but of course also MFA. Often more “work” than the “work” itself.
And that’s often the happy path rather than multiple attempts to the same service, vpn woes, etc.
Oh you just updated your computer? Now re-log in to your vpn, atlassian, GitLab, slack, zoom, outlook, aws, and others. Want to watch a slack recording? You’re logged into the desktop application but now enter your credentials, again, this time in the browser.. it never ends.
I would love to read the author’s book, The World of Obfuscated, Esoteric, Artistic Programming.

So I was sad to see it only available in Japanese. But then, I was happy to have found something written, potentially for the joy of it, not necessarily on the main stage to maximize internet reach.
“Some lists of countries that tax citizens and legal residents on their worldwide income include Libya, North Korea, Eritrea and the Philippines.”
Both from the first search result, https://premieroffshore.com/which-countries-tax-worldwide-in....
At least we’re in good company?
