There will be a surge in “nobody wants to work anymore”.

Threes

Fun puzzle game that got ripped off by 2048 and it’s endless clones. They wrote a blog post on how shitty mobile game development can be.

King of the Hill

The second one.

Mirroring is good for speed, but a storage mechanism with parity checks will always be more recoverable. And you will have far more storage available.

Open and close? Fingernails and toenails?

Yes, a return to the unstructured hellscape glory of unranked comments of yesteryear. Every thread starting with a resounding “First!!1!!”. Relevant or interesting things hidden on page 5 of 31. Spam lurking around every corner, as a treat.

If you don’t care how long it takes to get there and can effectively use the ITN you don’t even need to leave going that fast.

It disables scrolling. I’m sure there’s a use case but mostly it’s annoying. I don’t think every program/OS respects it anymore either.

RSS feeds are so nice. I’m still frustrated that Facebook moved away from an in-order timeline. (Or would be if I used it for anything other than family chats)

An ordered list of things you haven’t seen yet on <topic> instead of a mostly random list from everywhere. Amazing.

Technique yes, technology I would question.

Did she want some features that weren’t part of Google/Apple maps / Yelp / etc?

If she’s frustrated with user reviews being about nonsense I get it but that’s a human problem, or at least not a system problem anyone’s been able to solve yet.

[European utilities] have failsafes implemented to prevent back feeding electricity in the grid

Yeah but imagine if you could save money by not doing that? What are the odds that there’s going to be cheap(er) personal mass power generation in the next few decades.

Wireless keyboards go to sleep and can disconnect. Modern ones are sometimes smart/quick enough to send the first keypress but older ones less so. Also if the computer’s off spamming caps lock won’t turn on the light and let you know to hit the power button.

I know what you’re talking about, but got an image of Harrison Ford being absolutely pampered in China. Which in fairness would probably happen.

As someone who loves it, It’s less a game and more a story generator. Until the company was hired to do the nicer graphics and interface for the Steam version it was a math PhD and his brother programming it as a work-in-progress complete fantasy world simulator. It still is but now it’s prettier. It feels very comfortable to call it the most complex game on Steam. Rimworld and Minecraft among others took direct inspiration from it, he’s been working on it awhile.

Famous patch notes include fixing cats dying from alcohol poisoning because they walked through a puddle of beer before cleaning themselves, egg yolk and egg white having different fluid densities, and nerfing mer-people farming because that’s just disturbing.

Code Monkey?

I think they’re awesome but yeah, unfortunately limited in most bigger cities due to how everything is laid out.

Their use case is basically “never need to go on the freeway”. Going over 50 mph is maybe possible, with a tailwind, downhill, but would be terrifying.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Practice the basics, get it right. Don’t try to go faster for the sake of going faster, you’ll hit your limit and get sloppy and pickup bad habits. Test your limits to learn them, but don’t hit them every time. Get comfortable within them and the goal posts will move.

Is your home connection down that much? I’d think that even syncing once every day or so would populate everything fine, and if you’re at home it should update over wifi.

I might just be spoiled because I’m the only one using mine and only for a handful of devices.
