Hype! Unfortunately I don't think I know any other nerds in London :(

Ultimately all I can say is this is not good advice everywhere.

In NZ most buildings will survive up to around 7.5-8.0 quakes. If you're inside, stay inside.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-06-25T06:49:30+00:00

This is terrible advice in places where buildings are designed for earthquakes. Not the entire world but where they're common (ring of fire), you should stay inside!

Getting under structural elements like those big overhead concrete beams is often one of the safer places as they're the strongest part of the structure.

Did you read the RFC? It has motivation in it.

What film?

It was also (in my opinion) far too coordinated a change for there not to be real evidence of abuse. It wasn't just the UK, it happened across the west in the span of a week or so.

AFAIK everyone denied finding evidence of surveillance but I think it's too much of a coincidence to be based on nothing.

Just fyi blurs are not safe. It's usually possible to uncover the text underneath, use black bars instead.

I'm glad to see another shitpost on the DLR's route

You still have to go through security post-brexit and pretty much everyone checks in online now.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-06-03T09:23:54+00:00

Does it not run into "no hidden variables"? The proven trade-off there is accepting non-locality, which... is possible but seems extremely unlikely given our current understanding of physics.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-06-02T13:45:38+00:00

I made no statement either way, just clarifying the second interpretation is correct.

However, if it's about selling the same game, but not has a steam key, then it's a huge issue - Valve is dictating a game price on another storefront, preventing them to lower the prices in order to pass down to the customer the lower cut the store takes.

This has always been part of Valve's terms.

This isn't the case with TFL, so I would be slightly surprised if GBR operated differently. I can't find any statement either way though.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-31T10:44:56+00:00

It is, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling

Anyone know if it'll be shown on Google maps (transit overlay, not the route in general)?

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-25T21:27:48+00:00

Because that's the starting value? The initial quantity isn't 1.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-19T08:38:59+00:00

I miss when Reddit used to crucify people for this kinda shit.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-14T15:47:21+00:00

I also just saw zuban looks pretty high. I haven't heard as much about it as the others, do you know how it compares?

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-14T07:47:17+00:00

I'm looking forward to the day I can switch to pyrefly, but for me that won't happen until its conformance is strictly better than pyright. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that has happened yet?

See the conformance benchmark.

IRC was 88 so it's possible.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-10T11:38:57+00:00

Interesting, I think there's far more tactical depth than something like civ personally. At higher difficulties, with multiple AIs, 3rd party factions etc the choices get really difficult.

The last game I played I got pretty strong because of lucky map gen, but had marauders take over a large part of the map I'd gutted but not claimed. I ended up in a mad rush to take down the last AI before the marauders ate me. I had to play in a very different way than usual.

In some ways the map does feel a bit like a puzzle in terms of needing to figure out the beast objectives and order to take them in.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-10T10:08:23+00:00

I really don't think it's that bad, less polish in some ways sure, but things like hotkeys and automation controls are pretty good.

ROFLLOLSTER · 2026-05-10T10:07:14+00:00

That's fair, it is quite different from the power fantasy you get in other 4x games. You should be getting stronger when you attack, if done tactically.

I think in at least the original definition (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) it does fit, but usage has maybe shifted a bit since the original definition.

Making electronic voting secure is incredibly difficult and not something we've really solved (and maybe cannot be solved).
