Slay the Spire 1 has the option for everyone to use beta art for free if they feel like it, no DLC involved. I bet they might do something similar for this one.

Multi-cast and Double Energy are also great beta art cards

New gigachad just dropped

What’s Andrew Rousso doing in the image? Seems completely unrelated to the content of the article.

Buyer beware - farming is actually really hard work

M1 16’’ has:

• 1 HDMI-port
• 1 charging port
• 3 USB-C ports

Back in the intel-days, lack of ports was a real concern, but I can’t say that I’ve ever felt this with M1.

In fact, most of the common gripes with Mac hardware choices were resolved with M1. A sufficient amount of ports, real keys instead of a small touch screen for Escape- and Function-keys, and no undue focus on making the device as thin as possible at the expense of performance.

Add the fact that they are ridiculously fast and you’ve got yourself a very competent development machine.

I’d still hesitate at paying full retail price for one for personal use, but as a work device? I will gladly use one.

There was a time when investing deeper into nuclear would have made a lot more sense. That moment has passed, though. The economics are not on the side of nuclear and the numbers are getting worse by the day - nuclear is getting more expensive over time while renewables and batteries are trending in the complete opposite direction.

It’s basically impossible to get any nuclear built without heavy subsidization because of how poorly they function economically, not to mention how impossible it is to buy insurance for such a venture. This is not inherently bad, but it does definitely displace other areas we could be subsidizing instead. I would be in favour of this if nuclear didn’t have a completely natural replacement in renewables and batteries.

Well, you’d lose support for devices which can’t handle software DRM playback, old YouTube clients installed on things like TVs which no longer get updated, if you want to support things that only get Widevine L3 support (most devices) you’re not really going to move the needle since Widevine L3 had been broken since like forever, etc.

The main thing YouTube would gain in practice from such a move would be to get DMCA as a legal tool to crack down on people ripping YouTube videos, but that’d require some very significant resources invested into driving Legal processes against average consumers ripping videos, and the return on investment for that is almost certainly abysmal.

EDIT: I thought of two more reasons:

• Given the enormous scale of YouTube’s transcoding pipeline, just adding in a DRM step into the mix will cost non-significant amounts of money
• All old content will remain non-DRM, because a re-transcode of the full YouTube catalog would cost an impossible amount of money

My very limited experience says that it’s possible but risky and unpleasant. NYC is probably a bit different, as is always the case in the U.S.

Walking works quite well in Sweden however

While I am broadly speaking in favour of free transit, one thing that should be noted in any conversation about it is that it often does not significantly increase ridership by users who were previously not using transit - the increase mainly comes from increased utilization by prior users, and sometimes you can get negative effects such as the newly free transit trips displacing walking.

Hence, other investments into the transit system may be prudent - for example, expanding the system, increasing headways and so on.

We should try to be brave enough to do all of the above, but sometimes you’re forced to choose one or the other.

When you’re sufficiently rich, you don’t even have to care about what the regular rich people think.

You can probably adopt the habit even before you manage to reach that level of wealth

Definitely. It’s set back progress decades, sadly.

Vehicular cycling is a bad idea in the General case, i.e when used to advocate against protected bicycle infrastructure, but sometimes it’s necessary for me on account of the very limited bike lane width. It’s not fair to the slower cyclists to have to contend with me riding at twice their speed. Since I’m also riding at the speed limit for the road, I don’t think it’s unfair to the drivers either.

I guess it might be organized by people with intense humiliation kinks

Spotify and Major Music Labels

Ask the people at the Nürnberg trials how that went for them

This doesn’t match my experience with them at all - the sizing of them was comparable to the standard sizes found in Sweden where I live, which was more than enough.
