Corporations are more powerful than they've ever been and fewer people have the option to contribute to FOSS. FOSS has also been coopted by corporations (see elastic search, redis, or any crippled product whose FOSS version doesn't do shit and is just used to market to people who think it's important). I don't think FOSS has outlived its usefulness, it's just very difficult to drum up the amount of work it takes to support it on a worldwide scale, but forcing financial support with the contracts mentioned in the article is just a way for corporations to have even more say in how FOSS is developed (or not developed). He mentions several examples of corporations screwing over the FOSS community and he wants more of their influence? It doesn't seem like a great idea to me even if it seems convenient short term.

Gives me FF6 but with FF13 font feels in a good way.

All we need to know about Boba Fett is covered in MC Chris's Fett's Vette.

Yes, and that it seems better than the current system to some is all the more embarrassing.

So there's clothed ones and then the two humping ones right in the front and a bunch of other unclothed one everywhere, so did the clothed ones just arrive late to the orgy or what?

Really been enjoying Dark Winds.

Didn't hit the suddenly stopped box truck on the highway. The giant pickup truck behind me did not hit me. Leaving enough space in front of me was skill, that the person behind me did as well was the luck.

A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I've got the wrong type of bread.

It's three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don't use linters, I don't know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I'm sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that's not YAML's fault.

At a certain point, it's your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language's. Don't blame your hammer when you haven't heated the iron.

I love Labyrinth. Did you know there was a sequel of sorts (and not the movie that is rumored)? It was a manga (an odd format considering it contained songs). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Labyrinth Be warned that it's not that great if you decide to seek it out.

If it were an Atlus game, this would be dlc.

So it's easy to enforce locally but you don't have to. And it's easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what's going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it's bad? Like there are legit reasons it's bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.

Oh geeze, I thought he was dead. Guess not. Haven't heard anything about him in a long time.

YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces

I think that's a user thing and it doesn't happen if you have a linter enforce 2 or 4.

Once Rita Repulsa makes it the size of a building, that when the Megazords come out.

Neato, I didn't know about that cherry. Good luck with your search and your garden!

Hobbies, sure. But specialization comes with tools and learning that generalists don't have, couldn't possibly afford, and would be a ridiculous amount of things to store and knowledge to remember. E.g. I don't want to do my own dentistry and I'd prefer an expert for that. Dentistry in the US requires a whole medical degree, specialized tools, etc. I also don't own the equipment nor have the knowledge to find and drill a well if I want to be "self sufficient".

You don't have to be an expert, and that can be very freeing, but we do need them and becoming an expert has opportunity costs. That doesn't mean experts are shallow or becoming a generalist is deep or morally better nor does it mean generalists are in any way insufficient.

Ok, but cherries and apples aren't native; colonists introduced them. I think the pawpaw is the only native tree with edible fruit and you already listed it.

It's not native but I remember my grandparents had a pear tree that did well and stayed relatively small in Eastern PA.

And if space is the only issue for the cherries, you could look into Espalier, training it to grow flat against a wall or fence.

I play boardgames where there are enough moving parts that replacing some with software improves them tremendously. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven have a bunch of tools for them to help setup, combat, track campaigns, etc., and they help tremendously.

There is nothing like that for Shadows of Brimstone. For a lot of things, there's just too much data. I tried to make a script that automated the travel phase after missions which was pick the size of town, determine the number of hazards based on the number of characters and size of town, pick out the hazards, and display each in turn. The amount of text in it was just too much to be worth it. But even being able to replace the scavenge deck, loot deck, and exploration tokens would free up some table space and they're less than a dozen possible outcomes each with only a small amount of text.

I'm sure there are other popular games that would be more conducive to having complexity automated. Finding one that won't send a cease and desist might be a challenge, though.

Heading to a burlesque festival! Looking forward to it. And when I get back, painting miniatures with friends.
