What could I read in order to understand different tradeoffs between types of missiles and the interceptors? It's just curiosity, i dont need hard math, but let's say i d like to implement a somewhat realistic system for real time strategy game

I practically never watch any movies because they are almost always trash, but decided to go watch Obsession after seeing a youtuber (penguinZ) talking positively about it

Yeah it's pretty good. I am in my late 30. Excited for Backrooms which isnt yet available


I wanted to try zig, but the language still moves way, way too fast, they break API for every release, so i simply couldbt keep up, while learning the language/debugging the build system/trying to actually implement what i wanted

After watching the Jetbrains interview, I still want to try again but maybe i ll wait till the 1.0 is out


"Surely the last time after handing out carrots long enough to kill all competition, they switched from carrots to sticks, that sucks; but look? now they started giving out carrots again!! It will be such a sad day when no more carrots"

“Someone’s handing out free carrots but it may be sticks someday so I’m gonna be mad about it today and grow my own carrots. That’ll show ‘em! My neighbor’s roasted carrots sure do smell good though.”

"I took their free carrots and now several years later, their carrots are a global ~monoculture that have been modified to grow faster but taste much worse. I don't like their carrots anymore but most other carrots are grown by small-scale local farms and can't be bought for cheap because the farmers never managed to get competitive economies of scale."

"I wish I'd supported the crazy folks who did carrot science in public and distributed seeds and allowed everyone to breed them so that we could all find better varieties for the common good! They still seem to be eating well."

(I see your very practical point, but I do think making the locally suboptimal choice in the hope of better long-term outcomes is a valid philosophical position.)


I also see the other side. I wish it wasn’t Google that currently has the best free product, because their well-oiled ad machine is going to inevitably turn the crank to find that sweet spot where the product is barely tolerable due to ads. But if I want free, fast, mostly correct lookups to plain English questions, what’s my alternative? Paying OpenAI or anthropic doesn’t seem to really change much. They’re going to do ads too. Abstain from AI entirely and continue to use non-AI Google search and take 10x as long to learn? Google still wins and I lose.

By which measure is the Google's free AI better than the one at DuckDuckGo? Happy user of the latter.

The website crashed my firefox (149.0.2 android) 3 times in a row. How to reproduce: open the website, start scrolling

It locked up my whole phone. It's becoming increasingly common to see websites that are just text with the odd image that are too heavy for mobile!

Firefox 150 android w/ ublock: images don't load, rest of page works fine.

I'd guess I'm probably more aggressive in what I block?


Huh, so it's not just me. Got a few crashes on android Firefox 150.0, couldn't read anything

I doubt so, because i need to type god-knows-how-many characters by hand, while visually separating them into chunks by 4, then explicitly authorize the receiver. Oh, and explicitly authorise the country

> then explicitly authorize the receiver. Oh, and explicitly authorise the country

I've never had to do any of this, and I quire frequently send SEPA payments from Latvia.


Well i am in France, and what I said is factually true for some banks; at least mine (LCL)

While your complaint is valid, no need to separate in chunks, there's a checksum.

TIL gnome-lib has a meaning outside of programming


Industry really went from "prove you are not a robot", to "but also if you are, this way please"


This is Cloudflare. They have an extremely strong incentive to increase bot usage. If there is no bot scrapping the internet they'll be out of business.


I've been using cloudflares remote browser api to bypass their own WAFs for my scrapers for a while, their products and services have been wildly contradictory for a while.


This particular example is not contradictory if you think about it, its essentially a protection racket.


I hate that I never considered this before.


About goddamn time. The recent past consisted of discord blocking me because their telemetry was broken and exceeded their rate limit and target blocking me because two devices in a single household look really suspicious.


I mean, Cloudflare will help website owners ban scrapers unless they pay. It’s kind of what they do.


> For you, the turquoise is green!

No, turquoise is turquoise. You gave me two options, and you act like I didn't know that word exists


This is the first commercial website where i just couldnt find the price, neither the "buy" button ..


The UK site has them out of stock, and about 350 quid.

So I won't be replacing my Aeropress or Bialetti pot with one this month.


They linked to the manual page, if you go to the root of the site, there's a link to a different domain which is the "Official authorised online store for all Cafelat items."
