That reminds me, I should go back to those old hard drives and see if they're (Roller Coaster Tycoon, Sim City, The Sims, etc. [Dyno Park Tycoon anyone?]) recoverable.

I archived a bunch of my old worlds as well, though I need to go back and organize them and triplicate the backups as well as getting back into some of those worlds and playing around again on an updated rig. Some worlds I had to cut short due to diminishing FPS the more and more I built (shakes fist at stair roofs).

One thing I wish I had access to though were the builds I've done on public servers.

Makes sense in the case of bleach, which when combined with the ammonia containing body ingredients shed off in the shower, reacts to produce chloramine, which hydrolyzes to produce hypochlorous acid, which is a strong oxidizing agent, and I assume said hydrolysis takes place in the lungs, meaning ample exposure to free radicals, which I assume can lead to cancer if inhaled often enough.

Hmm, I bet the auction process could use a blockchain.

Can you elaborate on how this process works? How the fuel gets used based on demand?

This might sound weird, but we should teach rhetoric in schools, which includes these kinds of dishonest player verbal tactics, because my thinking is that if we can name and speak openly on a meta level about these types of manipulative tactics, we can defend against them more effective.

Similar to teaching people how to hack for the sake of improving computer security, or maybe more similar to the old fantasy trope of the monster / sorcerer or whatever losing it's power if you know it's name. I feel like most people know of these tactics, but they can't call them out effectively, because it's cumbersome and awkward to do so.

Steem looked like an interesting idea, but your content lives and dies with the platform's whales, which are either insiders or a few people who believe in the platform. If the whales don't interact with your content, you're not likely to get much revenue. You voting power -- the amount you contribute to content you interact with -- is directly tied to your steem power, so unless you put money into the platform or managed to make money and kept it in the platform, you're not going to contribute much.

Similarly, as a user, contributing upvotes, comments, etc. nets you a curation reward, but this comes in trickles mostly unless you lease your steem power to vote bots.

Also worth noting that the whole steem platform on the currency end of things is completely centralized, so if that matters to you, this is important to know.

The earnings are in the form of Steem Power, Steem,and steem dollars. The latter was apparently an attempt to make a stable currency, which tracked the dollar, which failed to live up to its goals.

Steem power is very illiquid and takes time to "power down" the steem power into steem. Steem is the main currency, which you trade on the markets (along with Steem dollars).

That's kind of the point of properly implemented 2 factor authentication, no?

Why would they completely limit API write access when there's a less nuclear route to prevent abuse as detailed in the article?

Chromebooks?

When I first began looking to take my web development skills live to a VPS / other services, this was one of the things that drove me away from even playing around with AWS.

Not sure what it is. I went with Digital Ocean, but even compared to Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, Amazon's console area intimidates me, like I feel like I might get charged or trigger charges that will just rack up if I click on anything there. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I don't have the funds to risk playing around with their services and accidentally getting billed $100,000 or something.

I immediately cloned it for this reason just in case. Wanted to make sure I didn't miss the opportunity to play this game again in case they did a take down. Still have the old games, but I haven't had the willpower to learn how to use Wine.

I'm pretty squarely in the progressive camp, but this interview was ridiculous. The interviewer was making numerous assumptions and wild assertions that didn't follow at all from what Peterson was saying. She was arguing with her pre-perception rather than arguing with him.

Not only that, but it would be simple enough to just create an iframe based scraping script or browser extension for use in a normal browser, no?

Simpler than regular expression to be honest; css or xpath queries are rather simple compared to regular expressions.

It's probably simple enough to implement both methods if available.

Reorganizing the scraping queries is a lot easier than redesigning the website's layout.

Granted, Lua doesn't consider 0 false either, but at least Lua isn't a dumpster fire.

Let's just leave it at C languages + Python, which account for a large percentage of developer mind-share, so to say that it's unintuitive that 0 is falsey is either disingenuous or slightly ignorant.

Pretty sure that we can all agree that bash is a complete unintuitive dumpster fire, so that doesn't count.

The API let's you take positions on both sides with a single account, or prevent yourself from self-trades by setting a flag.

EDIT: Nvm, the flag just specifies what the behavior is in the event that the system encounters a self-trade: decrement and cancel, cancel resting, cancel incoming, cancel both.

Maybe, or maybe people just need to be less clever with their code?

What question does the exit code answer? Are there any errors? No (0) there are no errors.

The concept of using 0 to mean false is not new to javascript is what I was getting at.

Anyone here go to CES who can corroborate the linked story?

falsiness of 0 is not unique to javascript.

int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {

  return 0;
}

This isn't a javascript problem. They were trying to be too clever and test whether a value was set in the same statement where that value was used for a comparison.

The non-truthiness of 0 is something present in many languages.

Unproductive, how?

Also, this isn't a javascript problem; this is a problem of trying to be too clever and not understanding implicit conversion, which happens in many languages.

Is it the writing of device drivers that's the difficult part or just the fact that there's so many devices to write drivers for?

Why would studying and working with a new and profitable technology mean people lack a dedication to their craft? That's a poor assertion at best.

Maybe the word 'lazy' is itself a lazy way to describe the behaviors arising from biological factors beyond our control? Maybe medication is in order.
