Often overlooked but electric buses are very heavy. Here in my small hometown they visibly started decaying the road infrastructure super fast in many places since they got introduced. Not impossible to patch up, but not a negligible cost o

In a somewhat similar but frequently more deranged aesthetic vein, I am a huge fan of Defense Charts on Xitter. https://x.com/DefenseCharts

On paper, yeah. Sadly the threshold is very low, and you get hit with a brutal regressive tax immediately after you pass it (obligatory lump-sum social security tax).

Just throwing this out there. I'm a homebody living in a climate where the weather is kind of miserable for half of the year so would rather just execrise at home, and I've gotten fantastic mileage out of resources on the r/b

I love Crocotile. It's got very opinionated, kind of weird UX, but it gets me in the zone so so well. I haven't used it in ages, I should give it another spin.

Are you able to name 3 examples of this happening?

Lack of microphonics is the killer feature of wireless for me, I avoided earbuds for my entire life because of how grating I find them.

Not likely. It's just a technical limitation of thermal paper. That's the trade-off for cheap, tiny form factor, fast, and low maintenance printing.

I'm not sure about a lot. There are tools available that let you just extract some files from Xcode and build on Windows. These work a treat and are maintained by a single guy.

Greg Egan anything. Can't recommend him enough. BIG ideas.

Hey, Windows has had a related-ish bug forever too! Go to device properties and change L/R balance to be unequal. Turn sound down to 0. Turn it back up and balance is equal again.

MiniReview is a game curation app/platform that does a very good job of surfacing interesting and non-predatory stuff. Not directly affiliated but my own game has been featured on there. https://play.google.com/store&#x

Piracy is very different from theft and far more morally defensible. FWIW my work, which puts food on my table, is pirated every day.

Godot 4.0 doesn't support C# on the web and mobile, one of those fabled "Godot $nextver fixes this" things that somehow immediately come up whenever I get hyped up for giving Godot another try.

There's a very barebones plugin that does simple syntax highlighting and code completion, more basic than the built-in Godot editor.

Not GP but I'm a full time solo indie dev. In my case the main issue with GDScript is the tooling, or lack of thereof. No symbol aware rename, no go to definition/usages, poor autocomplete, cryptic errors. Also static typing that&

Yeah, LCG seems like such a great and ethical model, but has a proven track record of being hard to keep alive. I'm currently a very happy player of Flesh and Blood TCG and think it's a fantastic game with great stewardship, but I

As far as I know, it's a whole different scale of issue. WotC did some fashionable corporate virtue signaling. Some of it sounded reasonable enough to me, some of it was a bit eyerolly but nothing I'm aware of seemed too egregious

Of note here is Null Signal Games - https://nullsignal.games/ Android: Netrunner was a great cyberpunk-themed, asymmetrical card game which ran 2012-2018, and ended because of a licensing disagreement between FFG and WotC.

I never did any paid advertising. At this point it's roughly 80% organic algorithmic platform trafic and 20% word-of-mouth. The latter includes outside user-driven platforms, like MiniReview and TapTap. I used to do guerilla marketting

Absolute links would be great for CSS, but being broken when creating the page/browsing the files locally makes it a non-starter imo.

I understand your point and would have to read more deeply about it, but these things exist on a spectrum. Anxiety reduction, talkativeness, etc. might very well be socially induced with alcohol making you significantly more susceptible to

by j_4 4y ago
Alcohol absolutely does help social anxiety by improving mood and lowering inhibitions on a brain chemistry level. There are plenty of factual and scientific reasons to dislike and discourage alcohol, the "it's all in your head du
