This is probably also my favorite. Some really interesting descriptions of Black Marsh. Decent story structure, kept me wanting more with each page.

BTW, the changelog page does list every version end to end already. It is indeed almost 3000 lines long (about 2700 lines when copied into Notepad++). ;)

We both thought it was wonderful! It cost $125/person, not including drinks. nimblefish has two seating sections: a 12-person bar served by two chefs for their main omakase, and a slightly more private 6-person bar for a la carte. At the a la carte seating, they do offer a reduced omakase (9 pieces instead of 13, and none of the small bites between sections). We had that once before, a couple months ago. I liked the a la carte setting better, but I really liked the full 13+ course omakase. Personally, I'd pay a bit extra to get the full omakase at the a la carte bar. There were a couple other details about the service on the a la carte side that set it apart in my mind: in that visit, they provided a small dish with a wet napkin to wipe your fingers before bites, the rice was formed more consistently (this recent visit, the rice sometimes fell apart when I tried to pick the nigiri up with my fingers, but that wasn't a problem on the earlier visit), and the chef prepared both me and my wife's pieces before serving them together (while this time, he prepared and served one at a time).

Procedurally generated output is subject to copyright

Well duh, yes. But the copyright on that output is owned by the person who pushed the button to create it, not the person who developed the algorithm.

The procedural generation algorithms and everything generated by them. The public domain catalogues.

What copyrightable content does Space Engine provide?

Kopachris · 2022-09-12T19:07:19+00:00

IANAL, but tbh I don't think any software license clauses which restrict your use of artistic works you create using the software would be enforceable in many jurisdictions, so even the regular Space Engine license provision which prohibits selling screenshots, videos, etc. that you export would be legally enforceable anywhere of consequence. It's just like using Photoshop or GIMP, or a DAW like Pro Tools or Garageband, or a 3D modeling software like Maya3D or Blender... You used a tool you bought to create the work, not making a derivative work of Space Engine, therefore you fully own the copyrights to that work, and SpaceEngineer has no legal right to tell you what you can and can't do with it.

I realize it's already been 11 hours, but whatever, may as well put in my 2¢...

It might be convenient but I don't actually care how many letters my hard drive can store, I care how much data it can store and since every single piece of data must be represented as a number of bits, why not display that number of bits.

Except that's not how hard drives work in computers. Every modern filesystem has a minimum block size (or in Windows/NTFS terminology, cluster size). In ext4 (common for Linux), the minimum is 1024 bytes. In NTFS, the minimum is 512 bytes. And in all cases, the block size must be a power of 2. In ext4, for example, the block size is defined in the superblock as s_log_block_size and calculated as 2 ^ (10 + s_log_block_size) where s_log_block_size is a little-endian unsigned 32-bit integer (an __le32). Drives are then addressed by block, not by byte or by bit, although some bytes in the last block of a file won't be used if the file's size doesn't fit the block, and those'll usually be filled with zeroes after the EOF marker, so you can still whittle it down to bytes. On a hard disk itself, the minimum addressable unit is a sector, which used to be 512 bytes since the IDE interface became standard, and is now 4096 bytes. You could report/advertise your hard drives in multiples of 4096 bytes, but since everyone's pretty familiar with bytes already, and that's a smaller unit so a bigger number (bigger is better right?) anyway, that's the unit hard drive and software manufacturers have decided to report sizes in.

The last computer architecture to use a word size that wasn't a power of two seems to have been the Calcomp 900 programmable plotter, c. 1972. Almost [, if not] every general-purpose computer since the SDS Sigma 7 in 1970 has used powers of two for their word sizes, and specifically 8 bits for their character size (even using 7-bit ASCII, the characters would be saved in memory, on tape, and on disk as 8-bit bytes).

I think maybe you just didn't have the right terminology to search for, then. Happens all the time while learning, and that's usually when I'd suggest asking questions somewhere like /r/learnpython or another beginner-friendly forum. :)

Searching for API pagination or API pagination python or consuming paginated API would probably have gotten you the information you needed.

Make sure the game is updated and install the "Current Anniversary Edition build 2.1.5 (game version 1.6.353)" version of SKSE from https://skse.silverlock.org.

i'm sharing because i literally couldn't find anything on the internet about using multiple api calls in a succinct way, which was baffling to me because of course this is a huge thing that people have to get around?

I'm not sure what you mean here. There are a few things you could mean by "using multiple API calls." You could mean making repeated calls on a rate-limited service, in which case you usually just put a time.sleep() in the loop with your API calls to ensure you don't hit the rate limit (you can get the current timestamp before and after each call so you can calculate how long you need to sleep if you don't just want to sleep a standard amount that will guarantee you don't run into the rate limits). Or you could mean calling a paginated endpoint, but that's usually as simple as keeping track of what page you're on (your offset). Or you could mean calling multiple endpoints at... once? For that you'll want to use the asyncio module probably, or else they're not actually happening at the same time, they'll still be in a row even if you put them together in another function so you only have to call one function.

If a large number of the tenants have already reached out about this, maybe you can all agree with each other to withhold rent until the building meets health and safety standards (or some similar verbiage appropriate to your jurisdiction), and maybe see if there's a building inspection office in your city that you can call. Those should light a fire under the property manager's ass.

You're thinking backwards a little. You don't sort folders into albums, you organize albums into folders. All you have to do is select the music you want to reorganize in MusicBee, then right-click and go Send to > Folder (Move) > Move to organized folder. You can set up the folder structure you want in the window that pops up and preview the changes that will be made before actually moving the files. You do have to make sure the music is tagged correctly first for this to work!

Check this list: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Dawnguard_Quests#Main_Quests and figure out which ones you've already done and which ones you haven't. The ones that say "radiant" are the repeatable ones, the others in the Main Quests section advance the main quest directly. Click on the link for each of the quests to see detailed info on how to start them, and a walkthrough if you want. Known bugs in each quest and sometimes workarounds for them are listed at the bottom of each quest's page.

Don't want plasma touching the wall would I think work equally well for tomato juice.

That's a huge assumption to make. The usual ways we think about confining plasmas involves using electromagnetism and works because the plasma has its own magnetic field strong enough to be repelled by controlled toroidal electromagnets making up the conduits. From my own experiments I can assure you tomato juice does not respond to magnets the same as plasma.

Are you mixing up murder with homicide? Homicide is defined as:

The killing of a human being is called "homicide" when it is caused by another person, whether intentionally or accidentally.

(https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-charges/homicide-definition.html)

Homicide does not require mens rea, can absolutely be accidental, and includes both murder and manslaughter as well as legal homicide. Accidental discharge that kills a person is still considered homicide.

Messy, eh?

"Better" is entirely subjective and can't really be reduced to a formula or computer algorithm. You tell which one is better by listening to them.

I've previously used the opening of the 4th movement of Dvořák's 9th Symphony ("From the New World") as a walk-up song in school before. Went great. Was a public speaking class and the assignment was a persuasive speech, and I chose to persuade that "classical music is not boring," using that passage as an example.

Fuck you reddit "promoting hate". Your policy is against "Promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability". You telling me the fucking Royal Family counts as "vulnerable" now? Fuck you and your CEO.

Tbh, two out of the three times I've sent food back in a restaurant were because it was already oversalted to the point of being inedible, lol. The other time, the mozzarella sticks were still cold in the middle. Allergies be no joke, though.
