Even minecraft has these kinds of data packs now to support a variety of game modes. What's interesting is that roblox puts it front-and-center, it feels like the primary usecase, and I'd bet that nodding it feels more approachabl

You don't need short interest to make money shorting the stock. Short interest is useful for trying to squeeze people shorting the stock. To make money off shorting the stock, all you need is for the stock to drop in price

Afaict from the GP link, kicks condor isn't a person, but rather a brother and sister playing a person that also wraps up all the relevant attendant lawyers or other roles that go into maintaining the character. Seems like a persona, c

Currently at work we use a postgresdb for queues for long-running persistent jobs, but I'd like to move away from that model since I have doubts about how it'll scale. I've thought about using rabbit mq, but have a few questi

There's rumors/fears about SPY dipping from the next CPI report, could be causing options/sentiment to lean downwards in the short term.

That's a pretty big leap, from people not buying as much turkey to kids in school going hungry. Sure supply and demand would state that if the price goes up, demand goes down. What it Doesn't state is how much demand will go down,

What the sibling comment said, I meant 3.8% different

I agree! The argument is mainly one against it being a lab leak, but instead something that evolved in the wild and spread.

by Jarwain 5y ago
Well yeah, but that's an argument towards it being spread from the wild/against it being a lab escape, right?

That's fair. I wouldn't say that it's "we can't figure it out" but rather that "doing so takes a lot of mutations and thus resources that may be difficult to do under the table" Sitting in a cave some

I've read a few articles, skimmed a few papers and sent them to friends. The counterargument is that there still aren't enough similarities. The mutations on covid 19 are Really Different compared to the known and studied viruses.

There are so many "shocking" articles, but here's something I don't get: The closest genetic match is only 3.8% similar. When it only has 29,903 base pairs, that's 1,136 mutations. I'm no bioscientist but my fr

There's a bit of a rebound effect. Alcohol can decrease anxiety while drunk, while increasing baseline sober anxiety. This is, of course, in the absence of other factors that may influence an individual's anxiety

I think the interesting use is more in the blockchain than the currency. Public, verifiable, tied to an identity, decentralized statements that can be used as public records or provide an audit trail. Cryptographically & blockchain secu

Distance and local regulations can make this tricky. Most people are zoned to a school based on where they live, and alternatives can be inconveniently far. Main exceptions are magnet or charter programs, but these can be competitive.

Kinda? It was in South Florida, but it was a test-lab school kinda program. My brother did an alternative where he could take some credits at the local CC, but it was still part of the standard high school experience. Seems a little closer

I did a dual-enrollment program that was a normal ish 9th grade, and took college courses for 10-12th grade. Could see if there are similar programs in your area. More generally, magnet or charter programs kinda select for people who are in

Wouldn't that make it better timing though? Revitalize hype and stay relevant? This isn't a direction I expected from gme but I'm interested to see where it goes

I've noticed that as I've gotten more and higher quality irl interactions, I tend to neglect my digital or remote friendships more and more. It just doesn't feel the same, which makes me kinda sad

The implication seems to be that by advocating for the trail, the commenter is encouraging others to hike it, crowding the trails. Which echoes a sentiment I've heard from others too; the more people who hike a trail the worse it gets,

Re: plastic netting, couldn't we also try encouraging the use of other materials for making fishnets? I wonder if that would be an easier target than shifting consumer behavior and illegal activity

Do you know if foreign keys tend to be a problem on postgresql as well?

by Jarwain 5y ago
Do it, and if it doesn't pass, flip on 3 and do it again? 29 is harder; the trick there is to wait for it to finish spinning before trying the next possible combo; it usually finishes spinning in the same position that it started in

The gp made this comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27168048 ). > This biggest "aha" benefit I get from TypeScript is that it is structurally typed, while Java is nominally typed. In my experience it

I feel like switching languages adds extra friction too. Switching contexts is still a hurdle, but using the same language can make the hurdle shorter.
