> perceived loss of social status that accompanies a society that’s becoming more equal

I stopped taking the article seriously when I read this. In which part of the world the society is getting 'more equal'?

badosu··on U.S. Ambassador says Canadians are consuming 'unhealthy' amount of American news
Not necessarily, for a small but very elucidativo example see the 'amigx' 'amigues' 'latinx' thing.

At least Brazil has had a significant amount of levantine immigration and a few refugees recently, so it's not out of place to sympathize with the Palestines wrt the incursion

How do engineers enter the workforce? Or do you envision that in the timeframe for new blood to be necessary something will change?

While your comment had vitriol, it's not too different from most comments I see on the top of this page.

Ability to live anywhere in the world is a choice?
badosu··on Relativistic Spaceship
The "increasing mass" stuff is more to make it easier for calculations and learning (with imo terrible consequence to physical intuition) than an actual physical concept.

This video does a good job talking about the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HlCfwEduqA

It is required some process of natural selection for mutations to be selected against, do we know how this occurs with the modern homo sapiens?

When they can replace you no matter how talented you are, it only takes hiring the next bright eyed young aspiring artist.

badosu··on Meta-analysis: On average undergraduate students intelligence is merely average
That should be a good thing right? At least the way I read is: "undergraduates college maps to normal demographic distribution" which should reflect the result of more access to higher ed

This is a dense video, I highly recommend it though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbmJkMhmrVI

TLDW: there's a lot of evidence on why the phenomena we watch is mostly favored to be described as 'something' that is conveniently called dark matter as opposed to a revision of gravity.

badosu··on Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
I didn't have direct experience with the AI on ZeroK, but if it uses some variation of BarbarianAI that is available on BAR (cousin project mentioned in other posts here) it's as impressive as being a decent benchmark for beating a human that has a borderline decent grasp on the game (which makes it an actually good challenge).

Historically, games made under Spring/Recoil are called mods.

macOS dropped when Apple stopped supporting more advanced OpenGL features.

> linux port is riddled with bugs

That's... interesting... as many of the engine and game devs also play on linux (and a considerable part of the playerbase)

If you're looking for the codebase Zero-K and most previously spring mods are based upon you should look at: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring

badosu··on Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
From https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/:

> About > > Open source RTS game running on the Spring engine

In the place where code is present, things pertaining to code are present. You don't need to throw technical details to potential players at your front page.

I don't think it's much about the timeline but more about the feel of being close to TA. In which case BAR indeed is closest to a some sort of TA-sense while Zero-K is more unique (and that's great!).

Games have their own distribution method, but you can download the source and the engine will handle it. In ZeroKs case (https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/).

The most straightforward method to compile the engine reliably I'd say is with the docker container: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring/wiki/SpringRTS-B...

Edit: spelling,links

badosu··on Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
The engine heavily relies on OpenGL features Apple dropped support for. The best bet would be to await for a decent translation layer (Zink, MoltenVK, idk).

Edit: clarity

badosu··on Exclusive hardwood may be illegally harvested
Ipê trees are great to see in your city (I live in Brazil), I always get a big smile when my mom keeps getting amazed at them.

You can have yellow, purple, white, a whole lot of colors.

badosu··on Sunflower (Mathematics)
Math is fun when you have time to figure out on your own, and set challenges for yourself.

It's not so fun when you have set deadlines to figure out some key concept it's not clicking yet and go through a standardized test and big exercise lists.

Had the same experience as a math undergrad and after getting through college.
