There's all that stuff on other platforms. Reddit subreddit indie games would be neat if I could just open the post and play the game. I can't imagine I'd use Steam much after that. (And I guess facebook would do the same.) A

I'm in education, teaching post 16 up to adults. This is an obvious direction teaching is going. During the pandemic while we were all in lockdown, I recorded my lectures as I did them live. Students would then go back and watch them m

Yes and yes. I expect Blue Origin are playing catch up with star ship. New Glenn could only self land the booster, not the upper stage. There's no way that could compete with star ship, it almost doesn't compete with falcon heavy.

I was walking with my French girl, I told her that I know these woods like the back of my hand. She said she knew them like the inside of her pocket.

It's an interesting and very clever technique. But those landscapes don't look real in any sense. They look like painted clouds. Uncanny valley? Maybe not even that close to reality.

Stopping people having fun doesn't have anything to do with plastics. So that's a weird argument to have. Just put a return value on plastic. Have governments pay out for plastics returned to them. £20 a kilo? £200 a kilo? At some

The story at the moment is a 2 deg c up tick, that sounds pretty fine to me. So we don't get snow so often? OK, but the summers are nicer. All good. But if the reality is that wild fires burn my house to the ground and snow storms cut

I think that's the part people need to hear - we're moving from semi-stable to a more chaotic climate. The extremes are moving, and it doesn't take many shifts to destroy everything. E.g. dry + fire, or ice + time, or storms

Naps! Seriously, if you're lying in bed and can't sleep .... you're not sleepy. Get up, do something. (Listen to your body) Hell, I can go a few days on 2 hours sleep, then sleep like, 8 hours or 12 hours. Or I'll sleep

Naps! Seriously, listen to your mind and your body. If it needs sleep, give it some. It it requires painting or dancing, do it!

Votes need change from INT to FLOAT, so old people get 0.75 of a vote and young people get 1.5 ... because <lots of reasons> [edit] downvotes! Why? Is it a crazy idea that young people should have more of a say about their future than

I do (well to apprentices who are the same age and same level) I teach about 2 hours a week on c++ and they are fine. They pass the cpp institute exams (which are super hard!) So unless you actually DO teach then don't assume :)

... how will you know? Without measuring "success" (however you define it) you will never know. It may have already happened and you missed it.

As an educator that uses the free version of your site... A debugger for Python is the killer feature you're missing. Stepping through code, especially loops for beginners is game changing.

As someone who doesn't code all day any longer, factorio really tickles that part of my brain. Every problem that needs to be overcome, every obstacle in the path, every idiotic decision I curse is something I did previously just to ge

This. We teach coding, we start with logic, then move onto functions, then OOP, then patterns, then back to functional. Then it's up to the student or the business to make a choice. Saying that you don't think OOP is as good as fu

When these get put in phones, people will upgrade far less often... that'll put more pressure on the smaller phone companies. Anecdotal - all my friends upgrade for more batter life or better camera. CPU / OS updates don't re

Agree, never heard of bees as a service - also live in a farming community. We farm different crops here.

They're also used to slow traffic. Because you need to check before entering, all traffic slows, even on unevenly weighted traffic. So still useful. Although the UK seems to be going towards more lights and fewer larger roundabouts.

Agreed - students have already moved to google docs or MS Word with OneDrive. We are used to giving feedback using these tools, students making changes and getting those signed off by us. Full history of changes. Full history of lecturer co

He does seem a little petulant. As soon as things don't go his way he stamps his little feet in anger. But I guess that's part of why he's so successful, he just blasts through any kind of roadblock. Straight to the nuclear o

I think they are giving all houses a number now, most houses around me (south west uk) have a name and a number now, where they all used to have names. My house has a number, but for some reason it's listed under the "name" o

why do they take up slots in your inventory? It's weird. And the blueprint book seems useless -- and I can't google because there are too many "spoilers" associated with blueprints .... I wish there was more help in game
