Interesting. I’ve heard that in the states, some police department plate lookup software will treat similar shapes the same. So if you search “B5-004” it will also match BS004, B5O04, etc

Honestly if you made your system a plugin or mod for Cities, I’d consider reinstalling it. I got in early and realized that my patience for city building had waned since the days of SimCity 2000, and I’ve not seen roads in CS that ever look

Roads as in? I recall hearing once (with no current source nor desire to research) that most city streets were originally at least _used_ with pedestrians in mind. Whether they were created for carriages or not, the advent of the automobile

I honestly can’t recall how I even found SoftICE, but my uncle gave me a floppy with LJPEGViewer and the license was written on the disk. Eventually I lost the original but I’ll be dammed if I’m going to use Paint. I fired up SoftICE, manag

I’m definitely going to read those, but even without doing so “inviting the users” as a concept carries a lot of potential. We were tasked to rewrite a very old windows app for backend grocery store sales in a web/Laravel/Vue appl

The most fun I’ve had with regards to baseball is either getting tanked watching the local team in clllege on cheap beer and a short walk to the stadium, or a team-management game for Wii where the main focus was building your team and play

It’s illegal to interfere with ICE when conducting actual ICE business, but time and again they’ve been shown to be looking for people with no reason to be under investigation let alone arrest. In Pretti’s murder, they were looking for a “v

If this were true we would have a lot more violence from the left on our hands, but time and again the more violent acts seem to come from the right - see the sibling comment for references. The left surely is not without violence, however

I’ll die on the “give me Vue over react any day” hill in that case, admittedly because I think React’s template/code mix is atrocious. I also _feel_ like React suffers from “why not do everything” syndrome, and that’s from a very naive

I enjoy being a Vue main in these discussions, mostly because everyone leaves us alone lol I really enjoy the syntax of Vue over React, and if it’s an application that’s complex enough to warrant something like React I’ll almost always reac

This brought back flashbacks of a brief moment when I was left as the sole maintainer of a “soon-to-be-axed-but-currently-critical” feature in a checkout flow developed by people who A) knew redux and B) were not me. They recently implanted

I think if you want to go high-dom manipulation a la jQuery, and want some form of complex state, storing the state _on_ the DOM might make sense? Things like data attributes and such, but I also feel like that’s itching for something more

I’ve found similar quality in the more recent Storybook upgrade tools - clean CLI wizard, clear error messages, and it does a good job of examining your setup and letting you know what it can and can’t upgrade automatically, with clear inst

The lack of Figma integration or a first-party plugin was a huge bummer for me. I still use Tailwind almost religiously because it just clicked for me and I have been on enough projects with terrible SCSS organization that I want to leave t

I’ll put that on the list, thanks! There is a _lot_ of KF there, I started that from the beginning and I’m close to episode 300…I shudder to think how much of my last two years has been Alex Jones content…but it’s fascinating. And frustrati

Reading about APE similarly sparkled me - the amount of ingenuity and sheer amazingness (if not perhaps a touch of depravity) that goes into these kinds of endeavors is awe inspiring.

by phatskat 10mo ago
That’s an interesting perspective. The way I’ve always approached it is that if someone is looking at my car weird, I should probably ask what’s up. I’ve honked over several cars to let them know their tire is flat, flagged down drivers in

My mistake for confusing hate speech directly with hate crime. Hate speech can turn a crime into a “hate crime” and that’s my mistake for conflating the two. In my original post the thought behind it was hateful speech with an incitement to

Hate speech is a crime - suggesting a group of people, defined by some characteristic like race or gender, should be subject to violence, has been agreed to be dangerous for hopefully obvious reasons. If hate speech laws didn’t exist and th
