We're just here to consume the energy gradient. Nature abhors unused reserves of energy. 2nd law of thermodynamics etc. Something was bound to evolve that would burn up all the fossil fuels buried underground.

Stardew Valley has the monsters in the mines. I thought it would have been a cute farming simulator game to play with my toddler, but shortly after we discovered the mines it was all he wanted to do.

Quiet, fast elevated trains and commuter rail would be amazing, but at this point in the US I'd settle for existing at all or in the few cities that have rail systems, equipment that's not >50 years old and can actually stay

Well, the trick is then processing those events. For `input` events it's fairly straightforward, put the character on the screen. But IMEs can also issue a composition event sequence, and it's not obvious how to handle those in

Simple solutions to all of these that ultimately land on the desk of leadership: >> employee turnover, lack of consistent skills across the software sector, negligence at any level, incompetence - even if not malicious, tired engineer

Seems like a market opportunity here for an app that makes all of this work in a sensible way. Difficulty may be in making it possible to integrate into the target users' idiosyncratic editor+Linux tools setups though. And convincing

>> Build trains...on every single road in existence? Yes. That's effectively what cities had at the turn of the last century. And then they ripped up all the tracks or paved them over. They recently did a full depth reconstruct

Don't GPUs also typically have the RAM soldered on you the card, effectively "on package"?

The stereotypical false positive is a competition programmer who aces whiteboard puzzles and leetcode type problems but isn't actually a good software engineer. They fall down at all the other parts that aren't clever programming

Not complying with lawful requests likely isn't a palatable option for these companies. But they could change their data collection practices in order to not have the data in the first place. Too bad they are also strongly incentiviz

I believe those are called aquifers aka geologic water reservoirs. There's a lot that can happen, especially in urban areas with lots of hard scaped surfaces, to encourage rain water to enter aquifers instead of run off into the water

ChromeOS Flex doesn't include the bios, firmware, or secure boot system of standard ChromeOS. It relies on an HAL that limits what can be updated. See https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11542901?h
