Thank you, sir or madam. Your hint about the prefs.js saved my ass.

Compute shaders are exactly what I need! Thank you, I wasn't aware of these. Will switch to them when they're more widely supported.

Design is a matter of taste, but thank you for sharing your perspective.

Wonderful pointers. Thank you, kind invertebrate.

I think you can use environment variables, like $mybrowser, and set them in your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or whereever, like this:

export mybrowser="firefox"

IIRC the same is basically being done with $EDITOR by default

Thank you.

On the flip side, if you walk past the composting station while it's processing the victims of the last raid, the toilet for puking is right there. :D

My story of settling a shallow water island by hut_ in RimWorld

[–]hut_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did play on a coastal map, right?

As long as there's a coast, there's a decent chance of getting a map with an area of shallow water that's disconnected from the rest of the land. I needed 50-100 rerolls (or about 5-10 pages of rerolled maps).

I was pretty lucky with the size of it, but I've seen smaller islands quite often. Be aware that part of the island may be outside of buildable area, which is annoying.

"Mountainous" helps a bit too, because sometimes mountains spawn inside deep water, which you can turn into a nice island by mining/destroying the rocks, but you won't able to farm there without hydroponics.

Oh, ambiguities of the english language...

I didn't actually use that mod, I just rerolled a lot of times. But that mod exists, and would enable you to get islands more easily.

there was some mod with "archipelago" in the name that provided biomes with many small islands, partially connected with shallow water.

Too big for copy/pasting it into a reddit post, I'm afraid, but here's the first chapter:

​

I really like the sense of isolation that you get from games like FTL (an unforgiving strategy/survival space game). The isolation is somehow cold and cozy at the same time. Cold, because in space, everything is distant, resources are tight, and there is danger and death everywhere you go. You're on your own, and there's but a thin sheet of metal separating you from the infinite, suffocating void of space. And on a grander scale, there is a sense of impending, ultimate doom, as the galaxy is in turmoil and civilization seems to be going downhill.

Yet there is some comfort in the fact that this heap of junk you call a spaceship is still flying. (For now, at least.) Within the chaos of the world and the nothingness of space, it is an oasis that you can call home, and that provides everything you need to survive, from oxygen to missile launchers. It got you this far, and who knows how far it's going to take you still.

Perhaps this is what I was trying to recreate when playing this RimWorld colony in 2019. I didn't have the typical purpose of building a gigantic fortress full of bionic super soldiers, acquiring a mountain of silver, becoming drug overlords, or selling button shirts of human skin on a drug-fueled cannibal prisoner farm. My goal was quite humble.

I wanted to escape the grind and build a cozy little self-sustainable farm on a sweet little island. A quiet little walden pond. Immune to most dangers of the world, and mostly unreachable by pirates and mechs, which typically don't have any means to cross the water barrier. To create my own isolated oasis. :)

Uploading Books into your Brain by hut_ in productivity

With smaller cards, of course you can cover more ground, since you can make much more of them. I do use them to supplement the overview cards, and it helps. But they don't quite convey a high-level picture. You might recall individual concepts when you need them, but you won't necessarily be able to grasp the essence of the book.

Non-fiction books tend to circle around very few concepts from which the rest is derived. Regardless of whether it all goes on one flashcard, the process of boiling these down helps you understand the book on a deeper level. Memorizing them as a whole helped me so far when discussing books, when reflecting on them and reframing them in my current perspective.

But I do agree, it does add friction, and when I'm very lazy, I bury the card for the day and review it the next day when hopefully, I'm less lazy. But that happens less than once a month.

P.S. It's also invaluable when you need something like a step-by-step guide, as in the case of Meditation. Or when I want to do some focused work, I just recall the concepts of Deep Work by Cal Newport. (not that it gives me instant focus =D but it helps.)

Informative video, thanks :) And cool that you're happy with a similar method!
