The official Minecraft code is very well reverse-engineered, so it’d probably be easier to try to update that rather than creating one from scratch or from a different project like Minetest.

Unfortunately the burger menu at the top right of the page also doesn’t work very well on mobile (iOS Firefox). One the menu appears, there’s no way to get it to hide again, permanently covering up any content underneath (in this case, your

It worked very poorly for me on iOS (Firefox, not that it matters). Trying to hover over the side bar made it immediately click on whichever link happened to be under my finger when the sidebar appeared.

The current SWIFT bans are only aimed at some Russian banks and seem to intentionally let oil and gas continue to flow.

Judges have found that retail websites are subject to the ADA[1], and sites for things like utilities definitely are. Your personal website does not need to comply though, since it’s not considered a public space. [1]: https://my

For a lot of trips, Amtrak is about the same as flying. Looking at a round trip from NYC to Chicago, on the arbitrary dates of March 26 to April 9, Amtrak costs $180 while Kayak shows the cheapest flights at $159. Of course, Amtrak takes mu

Unless the airlines are installing the altimeters themselves, it seems like Boeing is still the relevant company. If your car’s airbag has a malfunction, the car manufacturer does the recall even if the fault lies with the airbag manufactur

The Conservatives want to privatise the BBC and the NHS though - abolishing the BBC licensing fee is a recent move, and steps to privatise the NHS have been repeatedly popular among politicians over the last decade.

The SE is still decently popular and they’re rumored to be releasing a new one next month.

Then why do people want iPhones in that size but not Androids?

They’re still keeping the SE line though - a new release is expected in the next couple of months.

Unfortunately Google is increasingly making it harder to use gmail with a native mail client. They don’t use normal means of authentication so your client has to have built-in Google support. They’re introducing new types of emails that can

Ad tracking doesn’t need to be click based. Modern advertisements have existed for two hundred years and tracking has existed for twenty.

In my experience, when a platform adds support for something like that, apps quickly start requiring that you have the feature on, even unrelated apps. For example, a ton of apps, especially sketchier ones or ones aimed at children, ask to

Societal usefulness is not defined in a vacuum - it’s fundamentally based on the principles of everyone in the society. And judging by the people who chose not to share data with Facebook, society is better off without the targeted ads.

Thank god that Apple never implemented web Bluetooth. One more thing that I don’t have to worry about my web browser mucking with. Please keep the browser out of my peripherals.

At least with Gitlab, the text of the merge request is used for the text of the merge commit that’s created when you merge in the changes, so the comments still get added to the Git history.

A friend of mine was recently taking a course on machine learning and she had to use Python with some packages for the homework assignments. She downloaded VSCode and installed Python on her machine and then attempted to get the packages in

At least in the last few months, at-home tests have been available to replicate lab results, and they seem to be consistent.

That’s true, but if I had a thousand day supply of water (multiple tons), my first step would have to be dumping out most of it or I can’t walk anywhere.

(Not trying to criticize, just curious) Are the open source work and the business marketing part of/all of the “work” that you want to do less of? If so, what is your plan for balancing doing less of it while still trying to accomplish

I don’t have airpods and don’t want them, but that doesn’t match my experiences being around them. They’re usually quite good at not letting out any sound unless they’re at the maximum volume and you’re listening to really loud music.

I can think of plenty of services that an occasional (once a year? less?) outage is okay. Heck, anything relying on AWS us-east-1 is going to have outages that frequently based on the last few months. Meanwhile, almost any service is better

I’ve tried VSCode, Sublime, Vim, Eclipse, and IntelliJ for both Java and Python development. I’m more productive with IntelliJ for both (though Python is only more productive if I’m also extensively using type hints). Eclipse was the second
