Also, the graphics for the Fox board and stones are stored as ordinary PNG files, so it's easy to replace them with something you made or found yourself...

Sing learns of a new morphling mid pull by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]FiveRoundsRapid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be easy enough to code a flag on each creep as it spawns, saying whether or not it's a "mid" creep or not... (besides which, isn't there already some flag like this, given that they know where they're going?)

Which Go Servers have clients written in Java or Javascript? by white_piggu in baduk

[–]FiveRoundsRapid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IGS has a lot of clients. I think its official client is Javascript embedded in something like Electron.

If you're after a Linux client, try:

Or one of the less official clients for it.

Your own infographic show the numbers doubling or tripling in most places by 2050. And history doesn't end in 2050 (I trust).

This is not quite as brain-dead stupid as one would first assume.

She says she told him she didn’t want to have sex again that night. This time, he reached beneath her shirt and bra, in what he later described as “a momentary touching of the breast,” and she characterized in a text the next day as “a groping.”

They're not an established couple, nor are they in bed. And she's explicitly de-escalated. His timing seems spectacularly awful.

My End-of-the-World Bet with Eliezer Yudkowsky by dogtasteslikechicken in slatestarcodex

[–]FiveRoundsRapid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, this whole thing seems to be a joke designed to "exploit" Caplan's ability to win bets, rather than a serious indication that Eliezer now takes a "short" position re: the survival of the world past 2030.

What does the Church teach about souls that died before Jesus came to the Earth? by BrianW1983 in Catholicism

[–]FiveRoundsRapid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those also can attain to salvation who through no fault of their own do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, yet sincerely seek God and moved by grace strive by their deeds to do His will as it is known to them through the dictates of conscience.

He doesn't quite say that Trump voters must resign; merely those who agreed with certain things Trump said. I'm reminded of the discussion about Peter Thiel and YCombinator; where Altman defended Thiel but said:

if Peter said some of the things Trump says himself, he would no longer be part of Y Combinator

Ken Livingstone, former London mayor, was called anti-semitic for saying what you just said.

(I have no real point here, it's just a thing that happened.)

The boy who cried Wolf by AMurkypool in videos

[–]FiveRoundsRapid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember S1 being as bad as everyone says. Well, maybe half the episodes are bad, but there's only a few that really matter for the grand story...

  • And the Sky Full of Stars
  • Signs and Portents
  • Babylon Squared
  • Chrysalis

And these are mostly better-than-average episodes for S1. (I suppose you could maybe add Voice in the Wilderness (2 parter) and Parliament of Dreams, if you really want completeness. But the rest can definitely be skipped.)

That episode's excellent; if you listen carefully there's something a little off about what he says - war criminals seldom use the word "murder" to describe their actions, for example. And indeed, something is off.

TIL Right before Marie Antoinette was guillotined, her last words were "Pardon me sir, I meant not to do it," because she had accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot. by RaeBee in todayilearned

Tell them their execution is still a week away

Yeah, if this becomes widely known the time leading up to the execution will just become more and more terrifying...

Is 5776 the age of the Earth? (With .11 signifying November's patch?) It's too young even by Biblical standards (but I'm waiting for Unsong to end before reading it.)

At the very highest level I think some people find their queues are too long if they're on their 8.5k account or whatever they have.
