For me, nothing. I play 1e (and have played 5e et al). Pick the one that gets you excited. If you like the art, the names of the monsters, and the community, those factors outweigh any minor differences in rules or organization. It's s

Personally I think the biggest problem with bus maps is that when you get on a bus, you can't find one. The inside is plastered with advertisements and "public service announcements" telling you to go to the opera and not dri

They don't ride the bus because it's too slow, unreliable or unavailable. Yes - Uber showed up the inadequacy of public transit in the US just as much as they disrupted the taxi industry. Transit seems designed only for consumer

BART published a study a few years ago saying the tracks need to be closed 4 hours every night. They said since people riding early in the morning are more likely to be people of color than those riding late at night, that shifting service

Choosing your app store and choosing your news source aren't equivalent, but they're both desirable (for related reasons).

Who picks those sources - you or your phone's operating system vendor?

Would you also take one news source over many if it lessens the chance of seeing "fake news"?

The goal of their first funding round was to create a patent portfolio; the second is earmarked for an FPGA implementation. Hard to do it the other way around, although to be honest FPGA dev kits are so cheap these days I don't know wh

they do not believe that foragers had a fundamentally different ("noble savage in a Marxist feminist garden") character than moderns, but that their incentives and constraints differed. This is also not a settled question. Many

It's a common misconception that the job of police is to help people. Their job is to apprehend and arrest people. Whether that actually helps anyone or not is highly situational. Same logic applies to medicine and insurance.

It is much more important to have vaccines and antibiotics than to be happy. Is this really true? That it's better to live until 70 or 80 and be unhappy your whole life, than to have a happy life while running the risk of an early de

The worst part about using Go for embedded systems is that there's no way to disable dynamic memory allocation (which can be unreliable and/or hard to reason about) - at least last I checked. This is brought up in the essay "

Cool, will this work well with proportional fonts? I'd like to go back to using Emacs for mail but I've gotten used to reading the mail body in Thunderbird or the browser, and going back to monospace is a bit jarring.
