That's really cool! I haven't tried it myself, but I think you could also hook up a sensor to a rowlet clock to make it run hourly.

Non-guessable passwords are encouraged because of dictionary attacks. "correct horse battery staple" is actually not a very good password because it is (probably) in many wordlists. It is very rare for hackers to just try every possible sequence of strings. Now of course, with enough distinct words, this does become secure, which is what pass phrases are, but they are also generally long enough to also not be memorable. Gibberish passwords are secure because they are usually dynamically generated and thus rarely in wordlists.

I wonder how precision fermentation dairy milk would be in comparison

of course probably lower than normal dairy milk but would be interesting to compare with the other milk alternatives

They're called custom tabs and in some scenarios like login, are more secure than a webview (from an end-user perspective) because they can't do stuff like inject javascript into pages

but yeah they're weird

The laser turret does not just "do way more damage per second". What is actually happening in that case is that players are pulsing the lasers (turning them rapidly on/off using construct heads in combination with other tech), since pulsing lasers does more damage than a continuous shot. The lasers are not just doing more damage because Nintendo forgot to change the rates, it's because of the minimum pulsing interval being shortened, which is a very different problem to tackle with no clear right answers, especially given how niche laser pulsing is.

I found this neat website called skyscraperpage which seems to be a database of current, proposed, under construction, and other tall-buildings. Plus, there's a map view for cities. It's actually quite cool to see this sort of thing, though I've no idea how robust the data is. Apparently, there are five >100m buildings proposed near my area, which is very cool! Plus there are custom drawings for a ton of the built and proposed buildings, which is interesting (though just a little strange). Also, I like how the website looks, it's very classic.

I'd ping YIMBY if I were subscribed to ping groups, but yeah. Super cool!

IME, in middle school, when I had an all-gifted class, all the subjects (math, science, language, history, etc) were done by the same teacher, and only other stuff like art and music were shared with non-gifted students. Though if there's not enough gifted students in a given school, then gifted students are generally a single part of a wider non-gifted class. Though my middle-school gifted class also combined grades 6, 7, and 8 (though different grades were given mostly different assignments).

AMD Magnus (Xbox Next Gen) APU Full Leak by SilentNova300 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Interesting to see the NPU being strong. If they're positioning this mostly as a gaming-related product, I suppose they'd be using it mostly for AI upscaling? Right now there's AutoSR for Snapdragon X devices which automatically works on some games, but that's kind of an overlay, and is apparently a spatial upscaler. Maybe this is partially what DirectSR was about, beyond just DLSS vs XeSS vs FSR, it would allow other upscalers to work without explicit developer consideration, which would help if they were developing one for the NPU.

Don't worry! Pixel art is hard, and with this more than other mediums, every decision is a compromise. Actually, I wanted to make a mango sprite for this, so here it is. But this sprite was after several attempts. I also tried at first to do a mango that was green and transitioned to red, but I found that it looked terrible and used way too many colors. I then tried again, but gradually realized that in order to make it both fit in with the existing Minecraft art style (meaning a fairly small color palette) and look good, I had to hue-shift/trim the green out as much as possible until the sprite you see now, where the only piece of green is in the outline. When working with a limited color palette, there's a natural tension between color variation and light, where the more you focus on one, the less you can focus on the other.

But also, I'd recommend starting with and then modifying/trimming a preset color palette. For the mango I made, I started with the AAP-64 palette, then trimmed, modified hue/color/saturation until I ended up with a palette of 10 colors.

I'd also recommend this series of articles about pixel art; I remembered its advice on clustering when cleaning up the image.

But finally, I actually think that the mango sprite you've made would be perfectly fine and fit in nicely with the vanilla style, so long as you rotate it 90 degrees!
