They can be good if they unlock significant new game mechanics. The most extreme example (I know of) in that regard is https://pmotschmann.github.io/Evolve/ which has, at last counting, 12 different ways to reset, many

Yeah, that's exactly what I was referring to. It's been a while since I played it, but the key is to allocate as many of your resources as possible to reproduction rather than exploration, because that leads to exponential growth.

Universal Paperclips has the best story out of all the idle games I know, but it's not the best game . For one thing, it has very limited reset/prestige mechanisms, and the expansion mechanism in the final phase is very opaque

ORMs are great to spare you from writing heaps of error-prone boilerplate mapping code. Which is kinda what they are for , that's why they're called "Object-Relational Mappers". Not "Object-Relational Query Generat

It doesn't sound like you understand what "peak oil" means. It was always the opposite of a lie: a logical truism. If you have a limited resource and an increasing rate of use, there will a point in time where that rate of us

The "ongoing societal cratering" is led by the most vocally religious people. Religious institutions may be some kind of glue, but certainly not a moral one.

>The sandboxing part is silly since no one in their right mind is going to expose their database to untrusted users in the first place. That's circular logic. You would not do it when it's unsafe. But when it is, it could open

Nearly all living things do not suffer constantly, which disproves your original statement.

Because the vast majority of them eventually (often pretty soon) change their mind about it.

Inheritance is still absolutely a good thing to leverage polymorphism - but for that all you need are simple, shallow inheritance hierarchies. What has a deservedly gotten a bad reputation are ivory tower architectures with deep inheritance

Even if that were more than a meaningless platitude, why do churches need to be protected against that more than everyone else?

That is not an answer to my question.

That's certainly also a possibility. Could also be a combination of factors.

It merely suggest that those are not art. And going back to the original question, making those dodecahedrons would have required considerable expense, skills, and effort. That's not the kind of thing that can spread as a low-effort

How would taxing churches the same as everyone else interfere with religious liberty?

by brazzy 3y ago
Because if you do art, you want to make something unique. Artists don't create exact replicas of the same object so often that a hundred of them are found over 1000 years later (which implies that there were probably many thousands of

Bravo. Most people suck so very much at writing clearly and concisely. And that usually has little to do with assuming knowledge in the audience; people who have the requisite knowledge are just better able to penetrate the bad writing, b

Ah, I assumed that it was specialized because it's called "kudzu bug" in the article. Still, the same logic applies: the species encountered a new habitat where its particular niche was probably not filled, enabling explosive

Seems to me that it shouldn't be too difficult to extend an "unlimited undo" system to have specific time-based limits for some data.

How much of that "has shown to be" is just confirmation bias, though? Seems to me as likely to be a dampener on "finding talent" when you have to compete with FAANG (or MANGA, or whatever).
