I don't believe much of what is said on the internet about the Strid. It's not a magical river. The Strid is dangerous, but it acquired that reputation by killing unprepared people who fall in. I've not seen much to indicate

I'm no whitewater expert, but this doesn't look like a near drowning to me. He probably attempts to roll but is obstructed by the rock and current, then exits just as assistance arrives. The hydraulic is potentially dangerous, but

Wet exits are the fallback and aren't hard. Just pull the strap on the spray skirt or, failing that, grab a double-fistful of skirt and pop it off the side.

Ideally you roll. If you do wet exit, the helmet and PFD provide a lot of protection. You can see this in the linked video around 3m20s.

Annoying for users, but a sensible bit of legal judo given the current anti-tech political climate. This is undoubtedly better than congress mandating spam-filter exemptions for politicians.

I'm surprised the failure to deposit pension deductions isn't treated as a more serious failure. Knowing nothing about UK law... is that not some sort of crime?

By convention or by contract? Do new employers generally accept that new hires won't be available to start for 90 days, or does one only start the job search after giving notice to your current employer?

I think the video highlights FS2020 at it's best, and it looks very good to me. The problem is that it's a global simulator: this is a major part of its appeal and marketing. If you only ever plan to fly airliners between handcraf

> the judge set the trial for September. This is incorrect. September is a hearing on defendants' motions to dismiss. Not especially relevant, but of mild interest: this case is with Judge Alsup (of Oracle v Google).

Again, I've had the opposite experience. I've used nothing but Mercurial at work for the last 2.5 years, and yet how to do this in git was obvious (and `git rebase -i HEAD~` gives a fourth way). But even using Mercurial day-to-day

Just from a quick read of the docs, isn't 'undo' just 'rollback' (dangerous, deprecated)? Can you undo an undo?

by sio8ohPi 4y ago
That was not my experience at all. Consider just the simple task of "forget about the last commit I made." Mercurial has like five different ways to do this (hg rollback, hg uncommit, hg strip, hg prune, hg histedit), which work i

Agreed. I play combat flight sims in VR almost daily, and even with that genre's high FOV and resolution demands, I think most of us are bottlenecked more by GPU performance and software tools than HMD resolution or dynamic range. (Red

Life is Strange was fantastic, but I wouldn't recommend it to OP. While it's not a game that revels in violence, the violence in it feels especially heavy.

Why should price gouging luxury goods even be illegal? I can at least understand the motivation of such laws when it comes to essentials like food or water (although many would argue that such laws do more harm than good by erasing market s

What makes you think resellers are "monopolistic"? The barriers to entry are incredibly low: "$300 fee and monthly $50 payments" (less if you have basic coding skills), plus capital for goods, which don't need to be

Scalpers can't really be driven out of business because it's fundamentally just arbitrage. If an arbitrage opportunity goes away, they'll go away, but they'll come back as soon as the opportunity returns. Even if the pri

For me, the constraints are what makes WWII fighters so fun. I've tried some space sims, but without aerodynamic limits I always feel like I'm piloting a spinning ball of lasers.

I've seen the Jain theory, but I don't buy it. IMO it seems more likely the source was initially in contact with Ward, who brought in Gerstein (as senior legal affairs reporter) to assist and vet. The reverse seems less likely: if
