Played Axis and Allies with some friends on the board game a long time ago. Spent a whole weekend on it. I think a large part of the allure is physically being in a room with friends. Will have to check out the online version.

Maybe you should email the site and let them know instead of complaining on some random forum?

I know a company that hired a contractor, who (probably) sat on his ass for months, then went AWOL with nothing delivered, and said company had to start over from scratch. Probably a little too much trust there.

Swapping billets doesn't add up. Derren talked to Simon on the phone with instructions to sign it and make sure no-one steals or switches it, and Simon opens it on camera straight from his wallet. So to switch it someone must have met

You'd probably just optimize the computer for heuristics then, and would be faster than the human.

Might be cached though. Who knows if that could be picked up.

I think the answer here is to point your current tickets higher. When someone asks for estimates on time, or points, you give a higher estimate so as to not leave as much tech debt behind. In theory or course, may not work in practice.

You only do additive changes. Only add columns etc. never remove them ... until all your old application code is no longer running.

Harrison Ford was originally supposed to do a giant sword fight. But then for several reasons, it was shortened and the outcome was much better: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/raiders-...

I installed solar panels on my roof and one of things you can do is then sell your home carbon credit on the market to some buyer. Which basically means that while you are still offsetting carbon by generating solar on your roof - since you

But why don't they want to phase it out? There could be some other reasons like: 1. a job tied to fossil fuels 2. concerns that energy prices will go up without fossil fuels 3. lack of alternatives for things like trucks etc.

You can also buy RFID safes and RFID rings. That way you open the safe with the ring.

There are options to set your charge time in the cars so you can choose your times. They can also do it intelligently too, like start charging at a time so that it's full by 7AM.

FWIW I just got an EV - Chevy Bolt. The car is quiet and performant. It probably costs $12 to "fill up". And I realize how little I actually drive- the range of 260+ miles is more than enough unless I'm going to take a large

You could try google's flutter: https://flutter.dev/ for cross platform. I'm currently building a sample app and seems to target and work decently well across the biggest platforms - web, mac, win, linux, ios, and

I keep winning a free Yeti Cooler. It's so odd - I barely get any other spam and yet this particular strain keeps showing up.

I'm agreeing with you here. If you use plain JS and change the underlying types that are being passed around, but things are still working, you're basically getting lucky.

We were trying to add types to some of our code. And the types were getting ridiculously convoluted. And at that point it was like - maybe it's not the types that are the problem, maybe it's the interface that needs to be rewritte
