Yes, it's supported. It's one of the "initialization" options when you start a new game.

I'm kinda curious why none of the third party app developers considered selling Reddit requests as in-app purchases – just charge the rate Reddit charges.

I think so? PostgreSQL is very well written software AFACT. I've run into version incompatibilities before, but it was my fault – they were expertly documented in the release notes and I just hadn't read them (or sufficiently test

Is that even true? I don't think I've seen or read a direct apples-to-apples comparison of the two. There could be all kinds of reasons why that is tho (if it is in fact the case).

I wouldn't think using "standalone" versus whatever would make much of a difference. If you're using a hosted DB service, you're (probably) stuck in needing/wanting to rehearse using the hosted service (which i

I'd think using built-in replication (e.g. PostgreSQL 'logical replication') for 'dual writing' should mostly avoid inconsistencies between the two versions of the DB, no?

Sure! I'm guessing we have different 'threat models' in mind. From my perspective, I know _I_ am a moral and ethical person and therefore won't "execute an action against the user's will". But, also from m

A 'user' can do all of the things you mentioned, e.g. "insert random HTTP headers", given that they have access to all of the stuff your code does too, so any code, of yours, that runs outside of _your_ systems, _is_ in

That's weird. I'm pretty sure routing numbers (the bank portion) in the U.S. are all public anyways. I've been routinely looking-up my bank's routing number via Google for a while!

I think I do that, on the off chance that a person might have multiple listings, and my general preference for precision. I probably also figured it'd be easier for them to know what I was referencing if I used the exact same text.

I can understand (in a very vague, general sense) why spare parts might be relatively expensive – it's probably fairly expensive to make, store, and maintain a distribution network for the parts, i.e. the price isn't just for the

I interpret his point being less about denying that some people will be harmed by global warming but that most (or 'all') people will be. I agree with what I think Dyson believed: that it's NOT obvious that global warmi
