You have to be pretty stupid to think cops are too stupid to understand binary search

Teaching has literally never been distinct from activism, but, good luck!

We should use the world's national emergency alert systems to conduct a poll of as large a percentage of the world population as possible, and whichever option wins the poll, we should go with that one.

Of course, no one will agree about which state is which,...

See, that'd be my job as a photo editor. To know the answer. That's the job. That's what makes it a real job when actually done right. Any high school age intern can find a picture of a random radio tower.

If you can't meet that standard, don't run a photo, or don't run the story. The world won't come to a standstill because a partisan rag from a provincial backwater didn't run a filler item about a wacky heist halfway across the world.

Question is moot because I would just do my job to the minimum acceptable standard of competence by sourcing a picture of the actual tower

The extreme level of patronizing paternalism is par for the course for a Google product

Stains need to be subtler/fainter, waterier, with grain specks

Good taste. Day Of The Locust is goated.

Well yeah. Half the time that's like, the best part of the book.

Japan still not gonna go to war for you when China invades, bros

Japan not gonna go to war for you when China invades, bros

Good luck!

My god, the vibes here are even worse. And when I say "vibes", I mean "sex appeal".

I'm not talking about sex when I say "sex appeal". I'm talking about vibes

Just shows you that you have to know everything. At least, about the death bucket you've decided to fly over a vast merciless ocean.

Ha, cool, thank you for the info. I was half suspecting (and hoping) that someone would point out something like this. Game history knowledge increased.

This is a clone of Little Alchemy, a game (that I happen to know about because it's made by someone I know and respect) that's been out for about a decade. https://littlealchemy.com/

It's fine to clone existing games as a gamedev exercise and/or to iterate meaningfully on the design, and to be fair, maybe this game does the latter. However, it is good to pay respects to the shoulders you build on. Little Alchemy is not so well known that this is like making a game called Tetrizz.

(Can someone make Tetrizz please?)

The moral of this story absolutely is not that "modesty is not always a virtue", lol

I really just deeply do not care about the code of conduct but the game seems cool. I mean, the writing is very bad, but the thing's got spirit

Yeah, some game companies will die, others will be (eventually) born, but in the meantime, we still suck at chess, never mind anything that's come out in the last 100 years.

Very cool project, but if they want this to matter for commercial indie devs, it needs to have C# support. It's not so much about performance, it's more about working with a marketable-skill language, ease of coming over from Unity / Monogame, and expertise level of developer community.

Games will be fine, anyway we have more than enough

(I am an earnest student of chess, so I'd love for you to have a convincing answer to this, actually)

Why would I use this over the puzzles on chesscom, where the UI is much better, where the puzzles are integrated with social features, where there are many more puzzles and you have more control over the type and difficulty of the puzzles you see, etc?

I don't see any downside here. It's just another layer of protection. So what if it's not sufficient?

Never lose hope. If you can't protect the data, poison it!

Now I understand why Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard. So they could fight Midnight Blizzard.

Making six figures (by sheer luck of the fact that their work scales better than most jobs, including most harder jobs)

Oh wow, I'd totally forgotten about Ello. They were never going mainstream with that yuppie aesthetic

Lol, most predictable heel turn of all time
