Of course the article is actually about writing a digital DM not a player. But isn't the main problem with this defining win conditions? Pretty easy to define win condition for chess or go. Now, I haven't really played DnD (much t

I think many ancient cultures seem empty because they wrote on things like paper that doesnt last that long. We know a fair bit about sumeria and mesopotamia thanks to cuneiform on tablets that can lie in a ground for millenia. And since we

I wanted to make the same point. I spent some time on the site and went away about 75% sure its US only, but it's hard to tell since many US cities are named after UK cities.

Theres two catholic churches in Poland. One consists of a minority of hardcore evangelicals and the other is just normal christian people who are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, unlike in the US, these two groups are forced to coexist as a

Great job, looks really nice. I have one suggestion. The colours are not colourblind-friendly. I suggest a colour palette picker (based on types of colour deficiency issues) or an ability to toggle subtle gradients.

This is not planned obsolescence. People used to complain about PO but with smart devices there is no need for it, the manufacturer can just disable your device remotely and invent some bullshit business reason for it.

Funny story, London buses have traditionally had only one entrance at the front (apart from bendy buses), which made the driver also function as a ticket inspector. The new Routemasters introduced by mayor Boris Johnson have ticket touch po

This is like that time "Boring machines" are often mistranslated as uninteresting into many languages.

I think there isn't any recent scientific research on how many people are affected and how many of those see improvement after they get their 'vr legs'. I would like to see some rather than anecdotal evidence.

I was bored of chemistry until I started cheating on tests. Somehow creating my own system to represent all those reactions so I can cram all of them in 3pt font on a 3x1cm piece of paper has gotten me sufficiently interested that at some p

The article does not mention a crucial issue - how reliable and accurate Network Information API is. From my experience results can vary quite a lot, but then again I haven't looked into it for a couple months at least. I'd really

Interesting, although the books indeed don't mention it I don't think it's entirely out of the question. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orc_(Middle-earth) > Tolkien indicates that Orcs are "a

It seems the author also missed the fact orcs are perfectly alright with cannibalism, which further alleviates the supply problem, perhaps even to the point of not requiring the supplies at all (a few thousand orcs eaten along the way wont

Why would a domain change cause any drop though? Surely they kept the old domain and redirected people to the new one?

Had a dubious pleasure to implement both on a website of a major publisher. Eventually both got removed due to low business value. They didn't actually drive any traffic.

I've been really happy since de-smartphoning myself and using a Nokia 8110 4G feature phone. It has google maps and whatsapp (though I rarely use the latter), weeklong battery life and a super cool slidy thingy. It has a screen way too

That is a valid point, but one source of carbon is not equal to another. Data centres use electricity and the biggest cloud computing providers are making efforts to use more green energy for their servers. Airplanes, on the other hand, bur

So does anyone know an actually good feature phone I could buy in UK right now? 4G capability and maps are a plus but neither essential.

Yes I agree, it's impossible to cut a deal with every website. So a completely different solution is needed. edit: maybe I am being too harsh... maybe this is a starting point to something bigger. Let's hope!

This looks like it's a bundling of Scroll into Firefox, probably with different UX. It seems dishonest to me if you're gonna say "Ad-Free Internet" and "We share your payment directly with the sites you read" a
