Makes sense, thank you

I don't understand why you're being downvoted, I share the same sentiment. I don't know a single Taylor Swift song and I couldn't for my life know for sure a song from her, I'd probably be thinking of her or Katy Perry.

Seems to be only for an older set of versions?

In both my machines running Wayland Slack simply segfaults when sharing screen, my solution has been to use flatpak and pin to an older commit (065b3e57e9442c9fbaf851a49cbe6e7b1aa0afcab591)

Another great short "That Alien Message" by Eliezer Yudkowsky:

I understand the point, but it feels disingenuous to have it directed at someone who makes a living out of inviting guests and making interesting talk out of it.

I don't think he ever claimed to be an expert at the stuff he talks about and that we're free to talk about stuff we don't know everything about.

Because GRU is in Guarulhos, a neighbouring city

I fail to understand this argument. If your friends are close enough do you need a big corporate network to share content/thoughts?

If they aren't close why do you care?

Alternatively, what would make more sense is to participate in communities gated by these networks but then it's your choice to be there.

'family weighing you down' if that's how you'd see family at 40 sure

Quite sad to see Discord and Reddit being used as "Community" channels.

As someone focused on productivity, gaps help me make sense the current state of the desktop, by separating better the contents of multiple windows in the same workspace.

For single window workspaces you just don't apply the gap (smart gaps).

I find the opposite being the case for me, it's a joy for me reading plugin code now and being able to understand and easily modify it.

I wonder if someone tried reaching out to tpope? I think that guys influence on the vim ecosystem is understated.

Reminds me of GPT-3

As far as I understood, the criticism is that OP as a chairman of Gitlab used 'we' to refer to the whole company as opposed to his own opinion. The criticism then refers to an appeal or sympathy grabbing with an economic motivation.

I couldn't care less to be honest, just clarifying what I understood.

Happy for Hashicorp, also love Gitlab.

"we" as a company as opposed to the authors spontaneous feelings. I don't know about the nerd thing though

I've been having lots of fun playing (and collaborating a bit on) Beyond All Reason: https://beyondallreason.info/

It's an Open Source RTS heavily inspired in Total Annihilation, with nice graphics and great balance.

I condensed my post for brevity, there's no exact defined boundary between aeons or how that transition exactly occurs.

One could arguably say it's when there are no fermions from the previous one anymore, but that can be contested.

It might make sense if you subscribe to the idea of conformal cyclic cosmology. Where the big bang marks the transition between eons

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

You can consider it indefinitely alpha at this point, unless dev adoption gets traction, especially engine/graphics specialists.

That said, as a huge RTS and ancient history fan I can definitely say its mechanics/art/units make it stand out from other games - and have had lots of fun playing it continually for years.

You can see some gameplay in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6SBLu3TYfg

Keep in mind most competitive players play with graphical settings turned down

Great to see 0ad featured here!

I collaborated on some mods and reviews so I have some context on the high-level (scripting) part of the game, which comprises mostly everything that is not engine related. Feel free to ask any questions.

It's a passion project with a lot of attention given to historical acuity.

This release saw a lot of balance fixes (that didn't get much love in the trailer) and a process to release in faster (6-months) cycles - compared to 2 years taken from a23-a24.

It established a baseline for great improvements coming on the next version, in particular faction (civ) differentiation and faster gameplay.

I must say I'm very impressed with this FLOSS TA inspired RTS after playing it for about a month: https://beyondallreason.info

Gotta love the non clickbaity title

> For the next act we'll censor images of the pyramids of Egypt, which were constructed by slave labor.

Pyramid workers were highly skilled and paid professionals though.

I found a good article on this matter: https://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0310808v2.pdf

We don't need to be in the center of the universe for that, just less than a certain distance from the edge.

Is that verified? That would be a reasonable explanation

A question pops in my head whenever I see news of signal detection from the early age of the universe.

As the universe expands we can see further in the past since light has been traveling a longer distance. However, since time has passed to reach the stage where this distance is significant there's a limit to how far we can see, and this limit is continually pushed further as the universe expands (and accelerates expansion).

Now, my question is, how is it possible that we can see so far in the past? Has the early expansion rate of the universe been much faster than what I assume that it's still possible to capture these signals, are we capturing signals spread and reflected over time, or is there some other explanation/wrong assumption?
