I have been playing since 1.5 and agree. I personally don’t care at all about skins, and just want to play the game. It’s fine to have some cosmetics, but the economy Valve had cre…

FFS/FFS2 has been reliable for me, but unfortunately don’t have reliable power. It does frequently require fsck -y on boot. It’s not the most pleasant with my headless units requir…

I prefer it simply due to Apple’s privacy record. IMO it’s better than Signal as far as UX goes with enough privacy to be practically for everyday chat. I actively avoid WhatsApp b…

I feel like a hail would cause a strong radar return that would have been noticed or at least documented by NEXRAD or onboard systems. I’m sure the NTSB investigation will consider…

I’m not sure about f-droid specifically, but I know in the USA, 18+ content online is now required by law to have age verification in many states.

I’m not saying I agree with the rules, but we do have these categories requiring age verification now. They also seem to be arbitrarily applied. I’m just advocating that violent te…

Totally agree. They should be flagged 18+ and required ID verification if we want to play on a level field.

In this case, it should be easy to detect genetic or biological material if it was a meat sack strike & rule out space debris. They don’t tend to do well when hit at several hundre…

I wonder how fabrics will handle the mechanical wear vs the durable tape “track” used in a traditional zipper

I just meant having UUIDv7 internally, and UUIDv4 externally if date leakage is a concern (both on the same object). UUIDv7 still works great in distributed systems and has algorit…

Our “distributed database” at a fortune 90 company spans at least 10 different database products. UUIDv4 lets us sidestep this. Is it bad design? Probably. Is it going to happen at…

I still feel like calling something like uuid.v4() is easier and less cognitively complex.

Clearly you have thought a lot about carbon reduction, so I have a question for you. Is a plug in hybrid or EV less polluting if you don’t have rooftop solar? edit: I think I know …

The pf language is also shockingly readable for a firewall config

I’ve had this happen to numerous friends. Haven’t you heard? The best way to contact gmail support is by posting about it on tech websites /s It’s sad that I often see resolutions …

Agh. That’s what I meant. What I was trying to ask is if you took pre-antibiotic staph and resistant staph, rolled back in time and infected two people, would one be worse than the…

It’s worth mentioning that one of the reasons the cadence is so high for Starlink is because customers buy the boosters, and they can be re-used for many Starlink launches.

My personal estimates are similar. For anyone that followed Falcon 9 development (from the first Falcon 1 launches), it’s really similar. I remember boom after boom until one day t…

Is it really true that we have “worse” viruses, or that they are adapting to our modern antibiotic regime & reverting to the status quo?

How about an older Porsche or Mercedes? I stand by my original statement. I had a friend who collected and restored very old BMWs. He certainly wasn’t doing it for the ride quality…

I don’t think people are buying vintage cars for the ride quality. The owners I’ve seen with them see it as a passion. Much like the McLaren F1 has a cult following, yet no tractio…

Agreed. I do still worry that this will upend the status quo. As with any ecosystem: slow changes are fine, but fast changes can be catastrophic. I’ve worked with many people over …

I think there also isn't a single (known) civilization that has used this much either. IMO we're in uncharted territory.

I would add that part of the reason it’s ~$80 of hardware is absolutely economies of scale. It’s a lot easier to pump out quality parts for less money when you order 10 million of …
