I got a client side error after answering the second set of onboarding questions: 69-b6a400bc9e4e65f8.js:1 TypeError: Object.hasOwn is not a function at nR (518-6b2228f0e91f38c5.js:1) at rk (fd9d1056-f2aa89c71393f8bf.js:1) at iB

My personal fave is Blood Bowl. A really tightly designed game that plays in 150 minutes (and has turn timers so this is pretty reliable), works just fine if you don't know the lore (but will bring you in), and doesn't require bu

I see where you're coming from, but... A lot of the stuff the Imperium does is not just evil but also stupidly counterproductive. Planets starving due to rounding errors in the filing system is hard to take as an endorsement. And I c

Would it be fair to allow anti-monarchy protesters to protest only 100m from anyone celbrating the coronation?

It's possible that the supermarkets did some market research that misled them about how popular these products would be, but there is another option. Supermarkets can arrange all sorts of deals with suppliers. In some cases, the sup

It's wonderful that you want to help your daughter through what is frequently a stressful and uncertain transition. I'm now working in machine learning, but I spent a lot of time working with students at exactly that level in the

So long as everyone using the platform can modify their own list, no it's not the same problem at all. The question is: do I get to decide who I listen to, or do you?

Another lesson from Munich etc. is that it might be a good idea to go to violence pre-emptively when it becomes clear someone is communicating in bad faith.

It is, but sometimes it's difficult even when you're trying; and of course, not everybody is reasonable.

That's especially fair, as there's a good-faith way of engaging with such things that they've avoided: "Could you expand on this please?"

Does anyone know if this separates out listening figures for different content on popular streaming platforms? This growth lines up suspiciously with Joe Rogan moving to Spotify.

As much as I would love to work part-time, there's a good reason for a company to avoid this: co-ordination costs scale quadratically. Yes, good management practices can help mitigate this, but I'm sure we're all aware of ho

The issue is with non-technical people who see that the hacked together mess of a proof of concept "works" and insist that you can just build straight on top of that without any work to make it into an actual working codebase.

Paywall averted, thanks! Mods, is there any way of getting this link into the top level post? I assume the paywall is the reason it's been flagged.

I don't even think there needs to be more than one "technique" - think of all the authors that are worse without an editor. It's about not having any pushback, and missing your blind spots or getting high on your own su

I'm sure this is a noobish question, I don't deal with this sort of operation that often. Can anyone help me understand when you would use this or croc instead of scp?

Nice playlist! Have you written about your process anywhere? I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to follow in your footsteps here.

Subnautica had this in early access: a "feedback" function where you chose either a smiley or sad face, filled in a free text field, and one click sent it to the devs. From what I hear this worked pretty well.
