sylveon,

Nobody said anything about third-party articles. The page linked above is supposed to be a reference, not a tutorial. But the official Nix website also has actual tutorials.

sylveon,

I intentionally cook an outrageous amount of spaghetti to save some for later. We are not the same.

If you want to cook exactly the right amount and don’t have a spaghetti measurer just weigh them.

sylveon,

Note that MAUI doesn’t officially support Linux.

But there are third party alternatives like Uno Platform or Avalonia UI that do.

sylveon,

Very excited about this! The new character looks really cool too!

The Steam page also has some gameplay screenshots. It looks surprisingly similar to the first game, but as long as there’s enough new stuff I don’t mind.

sylveon,

Lowest car ownership in Western Europe? Do you have data to support that?

According to this Wikipedia article Switzerland has more cars per capita than the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and Ireland.

sylveon,

Isn’t Python already strongly typed?

sylveon,

I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

sylveon,

I don’t think that works because the faster you go in a circle the higher the centripetal acceleration gets, which also causes high g-force.

You can of course alleviate this by building a really big circle but that’s kind of the thing we were trying to avoid to begin with.

sylveon,

When WhatsApp got popular in Europe it wasn’t owned by Facebook yet, they only acquired it after it was already the ‘default’ messaging app.

sylveon,

Obligatory individuals don’t evolve, populations do.

I know it’s just a silly meme but misconceptions about evolution unfortunately seem to be pretty widespread.

How about actually tackling inequality instead of trying to hide it?

sylveon,

Is this a StarCraft 2 match?

sylveon,

Don’t be afraid to use a car if you have to. Reducing car dependency is great, but if you live in a place without proper infrastructure it can be almost impossible to completely ditch your car. In that case I’d suggest becoming active in local politics to try to improve the situation.

What's the end state of Universes Beyond? (aussie.zone)

The topic of UB is continuing to create controversy as the number of non-Magic IP products explodes. The Professor put out a recent video on the topic predicting a future Universes Within product to make up for all the unique UB cards being added to the mix, but looks like MaRo has quickly shut that idea down....

sylveon, (edited )

What are players who don’t like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards?

If you’re just playing with your friends you can just decide to not use them or make custom proxy versions for the cards you really want to play with. Or you can just play limited, either with a set that doesn’t have any UB cards or with your own cube.

Otherwise I guess you can either learn to live with them or just stop playing. For me it’s mostly the latter. Universes Beyond, along with absolutely insane power creep especially in Modern and an overwhelming flood of increasingly expensive products have really taken the fun out of the game for me.

sylveon,

I’ve found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn’t work well is one you play a lot. For me it’s Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn’t with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

Chinese Boarding Schools and the Indoctrination of a Generation (www.foreignaffairs.com)

Nearly a million Tibetan children live in state-run residential schools on the Tibetan plateau. Chinese authorities subject these children to a highly politicized curriculum designed to strip them of their mother tongue, sever their ties to their religion and culture, and methodically replace their Tibetan identity with a...

sylveon,

You’re trivialising a serious issue. If you had actually read the article you’d know that they’re definitely not just like any other public school and they’re not just “teaching them Chinese and about society”. It’s an obvious and disgusting attempt to eradicate Tibetan culture.

sylveon,

Definitely Outer Wilds for me too and it isn’t close. Such a great experience.

sylveon,

Getting off would actually become more difficult if it stopped spinning.

sylveon,

If it stopped abruptly it would probably be hard to stay on the surface (and alive). But eventually you’d come down again.

sylveon,

Astrology is fun if you don’t take it seriously.

I agree, but the problem is that a lot of people do take it seriously. It’s perfectly fine to enjoy these things if you just think they’re fun. But actually believing in things that are demonstrably wrong is definitely a huge red flag for me. I’ve also become extremely negative towards astrology in particular because I’ve had to deal with family who used to take it at face value and also because I love astronomy, which, to me, gets tainted by this pseudoscience nonsense that sort of imitates it.

sylveon,

Don’t listen to the people saying you should just quit. Talk to people first, especially the DM. Tell them about what kind of game you’d like to play. This is something that groups should generally do before they start a campaign (in what some people call session 0), especially if they’ve never played together. It’s possible that the DM isn’t consciously designing the sessions like this and is willing to change it up. Maybe they’re even happy to get some feedback and the other players might also enjoy some more roleplay. Maybe the DM can’t see themselves running a game like that, but another player would love to.

If it becomes clear that the kind of game they want to play and the kind of game you want to play are incompatible, then it’s perfectly fine to say “this isn’t for me” and stop playing with them.

We don’t even need to execute anyone. We just need to take back all the shit they stole.

sylveon,

For a few seconds I was extremely confused why one would need a tool like this for the game Celeste.

sylveon, (edited )

Technically it’s an alphabet, not a language (excluding the keys with actual words on them and not just letters). The letters are called Tengwar and in the lore they’re Elvish letters, but you can use them to write in other languages like English. Even in universe they’re used for other languages like on the inscription of the One Ring, which is in Black Speech.
