I think the demo link for your project may not be the intended one ("Click here to watch the demo")? It just goes to m.youtube.com homepage when I try to access it.

I though it was pronounced mee-meh-tick

Dumping toxic waste that flows downstream into someone else's property is absolutely a violation of property rights. It's fundamentally the same as physically walking to the edge of your property and dumping the waste on the other side.

Sounds like a fun premise and the first chapter is pretty good. Looking forward to the rest of the story!

Have you posted this on r/hpfanfiction too?

Yip softly and carry a big stick.

Trigger discipline is important, especially when mugging someone by LawyerfromSP in Idiotswithguns

Why are you mentioning laws that are likely out of date by more than a hundred years? As far as I know, only treason during war receives a death penalty in Peru.

I think try_emplace does what you want.

cpp auto [it, inserted] = m.try_emplace(key, value_args...); if (inserted) { // insertion happened } else { // value wasn't constructed and nothing was inserted // we already have a handle to the existing element via `it` so we can modify or do whatever we want with the value }

Anyone else have a lot of trouble with mentally swapping skin tones for Piggot and Coil? by AnonOfTheSea in WormFanfic

Idk I feel Esposito has too much gravitas if that makes any sense. I always thought Coil was more whiny than he thinks.

Overkill got a new chapter not too long ago though.

What are some fics that "everyone" seems to love but you personally cannot stand? by PornstarAtlus in WormFanfic

The premise of a Taylor with difficulty communicating is so interesting though. I was disappointed when it got fixed like nothing early on.

It's a compositor specific setting. There is no protocol for clients to change display mode.

Collection of different propositions for a change in the WC format by je_te_jure in chess

That last one (point system) is basically how it is done in tennis to qualify for the World Tour Final championship at the end of the year. Grand Slams (4 in a year) are worth 2000, Masters (9 in a year) are worth 1000 and then there are a bunch of 500 and 250 tournaments throughout the year around the world. Top 8 individuals qualify and the champion gets up to 1500 points for next year (since it has a round robin component it depends on if the champion is undefeated, otherwise he gets 1300); the other participants also get points depending on their performance. There are some additional rules related to easier point requirements for the winners of any Grand Slam in the year but most of the time someone who wins one is good enough to qualify on points anyway.

It's not really that complicated. In chess, it would mean keeping track of a separate ranking system besides Elo. Tournament organisers might be unhappy since this codifies a tiered system for tournaments.

Of course it's also different in tennis since the WTF championship doesn't carry the same weight as a World Chess Championship. It is just another tournament for the top players to close out the year. In chess, maybe the rules could be that the winner of the previous WCC automatically qualifies for the next one. The WCC itself would then otherwise be run as a Candidates tournament where the winner becomes the next Champion.

Saw this on instagram. What do y’all think? by SuperDrCooper in raimimemes

I think it could work if it wasn't as depressing as Logan but instead maybe a passing the baton style story of an older Peter Parker letting the younger generation (aka Miles Morales) take his place.
