lol what neurologist is taking shifts in the ER. last hospital visit I had I was extremely grateful to get a consult from a plastic surgeon (who was not a cosmetic surgeon)

I remember posting an answer to a CGI question with some grody, idiomatic solution, and getting scolded/downvoted by a high-rep dev (who montiored the subject tags) who responded with... a solution that didin't work! When the original asker responded, they directed them to file a bug.

That contempt and disregard for the actual day-to-day tediousness of writing commercial code is an attitude I can do without.

the tl;dr:

* C++

* with python bindings

* implement your game actions and state in C++

* then can pump the state and legal actions into an algorithm (that you write)

* has some implementations for some algorithms (minimax, monte carlo) & games (tic-tac-toe, chess, backgammon)

You’re stuffed, you’re supposed to only exchange the physical instrument so you’d be liable for fraud.

In the context of the title though, ACH =~ SEPA

I doubt it, they might lose their banking license over it.

SEPA direct debits allows for R-transactions to unwind a collection up to 13 months after execution, no questions asked, it’s wild.

Like, to pay for something remotely? I’ve emailed a picture of the check to sellers who refuse to use PayPal and then they use their bank’s online deposit system to drop it into their account (a couple of times for second-hand board games).

> This necessarily makes setting up inter-operation between banks more complicated.

Technically this is true but the clearing houses were set up a long time ago to solve this problem and they work fine

And not in the rest of the world, where broadband speeds can just barely keep up with a Netflix stream

I became unbeatable at catching & resolving pages in the 'wish I was dead' hours (1am-5am) with our second. Hot tea & wrapped in a blanket trying to raise my body temperature out of the depths of the circadean rhythm downward cycle so my brain would switch from sleep to awake mode

lol I remember this, we called it the 'worst parents in the world' cry. It continues forever, the form changes as they get older but the message is the same

I thought it was log aggregation and search.

In large organisations is unrealistic to expect technical employees to be experts with every system in use. When I can’t log in, I call the Helpdesk instead of busting out ldapsearch. And when I’ve consulted someone and been recommended to use some solution, when it doesn’t work I contact them again to check if I understood them correctly, or if they Walter aware of my intended use-case and the solution actually is fit for purpose.

I feel like if your opinion has the caveat that it only works in orgs where it’s possible to skill up in everything then it’s probably only applicable to very small operations.

> They rely on others to help them

I'm an employee in a large organisation, I rely on other people doing their job to get my job done and they rely on feedback to know what to prioritise. I can't just work on something else because I have schedules & deadlines, and clients don't care that something is late because the expert at database replication checked their email at 5:30pm, after I had to leave.

I feel like this book was more in line with the Pirx the Pilot stories & remixed Asimov's robot puzzle stories too much to be his best. Cyberiad is the most fun, The Chain of Chance & The Investigation are better mysteries, Fiasco is a better veilled critique of Soviet groupthink (collective decision making) & alien encounters.

A Perfect Vacuum is my pick for his best, as it's heavily inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' works.

Try building it and see which mons are included. I guess you can always publish your own version on NPM when the details for each new generation are available!

For Necrozma, its extra forms don't have pokédex entries so this tool doesn't scrape them from Bulbapedia.

This is a Google dev site, so it's heavily weighted to pushing Chrome and features that may not be the best approach for small/medium businesses.

I read Nova (and Sam) for the first time a couple of years ago. It was incredible, I loved how Tarot was the fashionable form of self-advice & guidance.

For anyone in the Bay Area, check out a Friends if the San Francisco Library book sale in Fort Mason and trawl through the SF tables for some classics.

> Some of them are technical, but to be honest a load of them are societal. (as in, bleating like Cassandra and not being able to affect change.)

This is where I am now, where I'm comfortable making technical mistakes and know enough to avoid the most grevious pitfalls, but struggle to expand the sphere of things affected by my changes beyond a few people or single team/product. Some people get into management for this, but I've seen that management is mostly planning, budgeting, hiring/firing, and non-technical communications.

Yeah I did mean Standard, I guess that edit didn't stick

FUD

The subscription model sounds pretty great as a player: pay some fee for each new set (up-front or monthly over the time it's legal in Modern), play with whatever sets you have access to in whichever format they're legal in.

yes because there is no water, air, or food on the moon for a suitable habitat for tardigrade reproduction

The big bottleneck we had with docker containers per host was not sustained peak but simultaneous start. This was with 1.6-1.8 but we’d see containers failing to start if more than 10 or so (sometimes as low as 2!) were started at the same time.

Hopefully rootless docker completely eliminates the races by removing the kernel resource contention.

yes, if you quote the next part of my post:

> medical science isn’t so good at explaining why the drugs have these actions

you can see I'm in full agreement

Not really worried about how 'mature' the thing that runs the scripts before I commit is, either it works or it makes a mess of my working tree.

I do care about how opinionated and collaborative the dev behinde the tool is.

> I'm saying that they should admit it when they know that fiber definitely isn't going to come any time soon at all

I can't speack for Sonic but I feel like they might not know if something is impossible to deliver in the short term, and the amount of work to give you an accurate timeframe is non-trivial, so they don't do it. To them, there's probably no difference between the "we want to do it but we don't know by when" and "we want to do it but we don't know what's stopping us", since I guess all their delays are unknown unknowns.

Sounds like you'll be waiting for microtrenching anyway, good luck

Or just treating people with the drugs and doing normal pain/sensation tests with them

General anesthesia is usually a combination of multiple drugs. We know exactly what each drug does, medical science isn’t so good at explaining why the drugs have these actions. anesthetists combine these drugs to suit the requirements of the procedure and the patient

Anesthesia usually includes drugs with distinct, separate actions, like an analgesic (to block pain receptors), muscle relaxants (so patients can be moved/organs accessed), CNS depressants (to prevent unexpected spasms disturbing the surgeon), coma-inductors (so patients don’t chat with the staff and freak them out after practicing on cadavers for years), and amnesia-inductors (because surgery is kind of gross).
