When I started stardew I didn't know how to play so I would spend days waking up walking around and then go back to sleep repeating until my parsnips grew, but when I introduced my SO to the game, we ended up trying to learn how to act

Or maybe occam's razor suggests that there's indeed something more concerning about usage of the app that we aren't privy to?

To be honest, it's probably not enough to just block these scrapers if they are acting maliciously, people should just start serving generated content back to it and see how long it takes for them to catch on and fix the problem

But lots of airlines have come and gone or merged over the years and these systems would have already had to deal with new airlines codes?

I was thinking about that very thing as well, but I came to the conclusion that robotic movement doesn't really need to match human movements. If you want to have consistent fine motor control, you wouldn't really expect things l

This is so interesting, I how you debug something like this (assuming there is no copy of the original pre-processed image as well)?

This is a good question, and one that I've been thinking a lot about as well. I think the problem is that A) there's a LOT more people using computers now than ever before, and B) the entry point into "computing" has lo

The only reason it works on a beach is that there aren't drive ways and intersecting streets. Are you proposing that we make the side walks level with the street? If so, then it's no different than what we have now, and if not,

Sure, if you only bought a single item once, but when you have a shopping cart full and a repeated purchases over the year, $10 here and $10 there can easily add up over the year. The article is clearly just highlighting the wider problem

I tried spinning up a VM on google gcp this weekend since my laptop was low on memory, and easily scaled it to 24gb with a literal click of a button. At a few bucks per hour, it doesn't really seem that far out of reach for most peopl
