I've had a good experience with this[0], however it seems Eric is not currently running it, if you're interested, email me, I can dig around and see if I can find my notes. Alternatively reach out to him in an email and see if he&

This feels like a pretty uncharitable take, for a start sugar is pretty addictive and reducing / cutting it out of your life if you're used to having lots of it isn't easy. Secondly I vaguely recall the shift as a university

Seeing as I can't edit anymore, a PSA to mac players who are experiencing this, it seems to be a bad interaction with the steam client, just run the .app directly and it launches. Can't believe it took me this long to test that...

Bad luck in my case it seems, I'll just have to wait until they release the next update.

Frustratingly I'm getting routine crashes when I've checked it out on my macbook, so just curious as to whether you did anything special or did they just not test it on enough intel macs?

It's more of a mixed bag in my book: - On the one hand, "self-driving cars" is a general problem of transporting anything from point A to point B without direct human intervention in a very complex space, we'll probably

As much as I think the rest of what you're saying is a really good point, I do think the article has some interesting things it says as well. For example: > By framing the embrace of childish sensibilities purely as a moral failing,

I had this also happen because macos now uses zsh as the default shell and this approach is bash compatible. So you needed additional steps for macos. Not sure if that has been recently resolved?

Does anyone find the same is true of conversations? Don't get me wrong, writing is a really important part of the thinking process, but equally I find it's useful to sit down and talk things over with someone else, the act of fram

The demographics have changed, but they take that into account in terms of how they handle and manage care. There's a lot of thinking and work that goes on to cover working out the changing needs of your population that has to be handl

To be honest I'd be ok with private healthcare if they had to also obey the same constraints as public healthcare. IE they had to provide care to everyone at a reasonable price. I'm deeply suspicious of healthcare that gets to exc

I don't wish to be snarky, but you are aware that the NHS as an institution has existed since the late 1940's and has been working reasonably well for a long time? An institution does not become beloved by the public for failing t

I love this approach, it's effectively a forcing mechanism for revealing preference.

A lot of people are talking about the problem being that the people measure the wrong things, which I think is fair, but from my perspective sort of misses the point? I would recommend anyone who hasn't to give a read through "See

I personally think "selling out" is a bit more subtle than that, in my mind it's not about just making money, a tech company can sell out if it takes money from an entity and breaks promises that it made to it's early &#

I'm following along with your breakdown, but I'm not clear what point you're trying to make here? > "The monied class..." - You mean, everyone? Are you asserting that you believe the parent is using "The mon

Ok, this is really interesting, is there some UX where inaction itself stops being the norm? For example 2 buttons, with a timer to the side, which when it hits 0, rolls a dice and picks a random outcome. Does the above now make someone wan

I'm trying to remember where I heard this from, but I found this idea pretty useful. Mainly because I know what inflation is, but I didn't spend enough time thinking about what it means and what it tells me. > Inflation is simp

Ok, well it seems like you have a clear plan. Just a heads up, the battlestar code is pretty large, so you might want to code / use as an example a simpler game and then if anyone asks if it can be used for more substantive games, poin

This reminds me of the negative experience I had with Cloudflare in the past, the thing that really bothered me about it was that though their system had made actions on my account their own audit log attributed those actions to me. So I&#x
