That is not my experience with them at all. I have about 10 G3 cameras. They have never been any problem at all. Nothing.

My cloud key however, have killed a couple of drives over the years though.

What ever happened to just playing a game, without having to install deamon programs on your PC, without having to consent to them tracking you, without having to create fifteen new accounts, without having to endure in game ads, without having to constantly be reminded that I don’t have the special in game currency that is the only way to get that pink hat?

Of course I understand what has happened. But it’s kind of taken the fun out of gaming. Or maybe I’m just old, grumpy and nostalgic.

I played Mario run when it came out and loved it.

Recently installed it on my son’s iPad. The game has totally transformed into this kind of crap.

To me, this behaviour makes perfect sense and fits well with my intuition or mental model of how things work.

Thanks anyway for a good write up

Similar to what other countries do as well.

I truly hope this project live long and prosper. (And I am saying that honestly, not trying to be Reddit-isch)

Oh my god. This increases my stress level just reading about it.

I am happy I’m past the quantity stage and into actually enjoying things part of my life.

I don’t understand people who use a gazillion tabs. How do you do it? How do you find what tab is which? Isn’t it as hard to find the tab as it is to actually find the page, when you need it again?

I honestly don’t get it, but it intrigues me.

That can’t be true. Truly, who ever owns the company decide what the goal of the company is.

My anecdotal experience is that whenever old people fall and break something, then it all start going downhill, health wise, very quickly.

I’ve always thought it’s because they don’t have very much muscle to begin with, that braking a leg or something, forces you to be still so much that you loose whatever muscle you do have left. That in turn has other negative effects; socially from not going out of your house, maybe even cardiovascularly, mentally, etc.

That’s how it’s been for my grandmother, and for my wife’s grandparents. Purely anecdotal.

Host Nextcloud at home on your own little server. Also, setup Wireguard server at home, so that you can still access everything locally by VPNing back to your home network. That is how I do it.

I’ve spent the better part of my adult life trying to become more productive, more efficient, to retain everything I read, to gain one up on life. I’ve used flash cards, different note taking techniques, meditation, lucid dreaming, bullet journaling, inbox zero. I’ve woken up early, listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed while working out, I’ve used the best notebooks, the best pens. I have practiced speed reading, in various forms. Different keyboard layouts to maximise typing speed. You name it.

I’m not sure that any of it improved me nor my life. Maybe it did and I just don’t realise it. But, honestly, if anything, it probably made everything less enjoyable. More of a chore.

Nowadays, I read what I find interesting, maybe I’ll remember it, maybe I won’t. I’ll work on what I find interesting, maybe it will be helpful for my career, maybe it won’t.

Altogether life has just become much more enjoyable when I am not trying to squeeze as much as possible out of it.

The most important thing would be to find some kind of community. Find a cause that I could engage with together with others. Be that non profit or for profit, doesn’t matter.

Some more:

The worst are when you run into code that’s been around for a long time, but obviously doesn’t work, but which have stuff built on top of it relying on it not to work.

When two bugs manifest together in one symptom, the engineering approach that you have learned about breaking a problem down and testing one thing at a time, might not be enough to find the issues.

All projects are chaos, learn to accept that and to navigate it.

Centralising things into common classes, methods, functions, libraries, modules or services, for reusability, and for less redundancy, also increases risk, as it is now even more important that that stuff works.

This is interesting. I don’t do this anymore, but maybe I should.

Usually I just trust that when I need something I’ll be able to find it. But nowadays Google (and searching in general) is so bad that maybe I should not trust that I’ll be able to find it again when I need it. Maybe today it’s more worth while to build a library of interesting stuff, than it was a couple of years ago.

I love all the sugar of Kotlin, but there is one thing I miss, and it is the indexing of arrays of Python when pulling out part of an array.

I love this idea. Concepts like this is useful for making a tighter connection between the real world and the online world.

I’ve always thought having hundreds, or thousands, of people zipping around at those speeds would be extremely demanding on the network? Lots of handovers between cells? What happened to that problem? Or was that never a real problem to begin with?

This summary right here is what I would like to accompany any medical study that pop up online. Thanks for helping us stay skeptical (doesn’t mean that I’m not hopeful and that the claims is true)

So sorry to hear this. Pelé was, and continues to be, a true legend. He made football beautiful and full of wonder. He was also there in 1958, and scored two goals, when Sweden had its chance to become world champions, a chance I don’t believe my country will ever get again. RIP

Obsidian ticked all the boxes for me. Used it since when there were more bugs than features and always knew it would be my go to tool.

Keen Technologies. That’s a great name.

Depends. Some games come designed to be played solo, others you take the role of multiple players.

Here is a long list: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/306154/2022-peoples-choic...

I am actually playing Gloomhaven. We bought it to play with friends years ago, but it’s only collecting dust.

I am fortunate enough to have the space to have the game always setup.

I have picked up solo board gaming as a hobby this year. It’s been great. I’ve been trying to get friends to play board games with me for years, no one is really interested. So. I decided. What the hell. I’ll just play myself. Totally underrated.

It’s not big in media? In Sweden it is. Probably biggest science related news for a long time. Even my mother mentioned it. It was on the front page of Swedish National TV webpage, and radio was talking about it all day.

If you submit a wrong answer, you cannot submit again in 60 seconds. I think that back-off time increases with every wrong submission.

The AI has a finish time of 10s, meaning that it only submitted once (unless it is using multiple accounts to get around the back-off)

I am not so sure. The ones that I am following, and watching, does not have very elaborate libraries.

I saw this yesterday. It’s very impressive, and a bit scary.

I myself set my alarm early every morning (problems are dropped at 06:00) in my TimeZone.

It would be nice to only compete with other humans, but, I do understand that it would be impossible to enforce without totally changing AoC.

I hope that we won’t see the competitive element of AoC disappear over the next couple of years as AI models get better and better at getting on the leaderboard.

I’m not bitter, and I don’t want to stand in innovations way. I’m just a bit nostalgic and want AoC to stay the same:)

This makes me thankful. I realise that I am leading a very balanced life today.

There was a time when I was completely overworked. A short project, but it was devastating. It was stressful for everyone involved, but mostly so for me and a colleague of mine. I was in my early thirties and she in her early sixties. We worked day and night, taking taxis to and from work, to get home, for 4 hours of sleep. She came out of the period unscathed, no problem at all while I developed claustrophobia, insomnia, paranoia and depression.

Those went away, after some time, within a year or so. But I, to this day, think that I dodged a bullet. It could’ve gone so much worse.

One big learning, or realisation, that I had, from that experience, was that taking one of those self tests, showed all the signs of being over worked and stressed. But. I didn’t feel stressed. That was the killer. I didn’t feel stressed, and so I kept going thinking ‘I guess those tests/signs apparently don’t apply to me’.

Never again.
