I fear this is a problem that may never be solved. I mean that people of any intelligence fall for the mind’s biases.

There’s just too little to be gained feelings-wise. Yeah, you make better decisions, but you’re also sacrificing “going with the flow”, acting like our nature wants us to act. Going against your own nature is hard and sometimes painful.

Making wrong decisions is objectively worse, leading to worse outcomes, but if it doesn’t feel worse (because you’re not attributing the effects of the wrong decisions to the right cause, i.e. acting irrationally), then why should a person do it. If you follow the mind’s bias towards attributing your problems away from irrationality, it’s basically a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Great article.

You’re saying they’re looking for an excuse to shut down? Yeah honestly that’s what I figured, locking comments doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

After the call for admins, there was never an indication that the search wasn’t going well. Honestly, I would’ve put some time in (& I’m sure many others would’ve) if we’d known closure was imminent.

The JIT compiler of Java does the optimization you’re talking about. So that advantage of C++ is not really there.

You can compile C++ for all architectures you want as well. The reason you don’t normally use Java for clients is that the garbage collector runs at undefined times, causing stuttering. This has been rectified through new algorithms though, so the real reason why you don’t wanna use Java is because it simply doesn’t have the best tooling and libraries that C++ has, no Unreal engine and no Godot.

Why the fuck would you go for Backend in C++ and frontend in Java 🤣 just the wrong way around

Of course there’s a best solution… it’s whatever you end up with

Totally fair. Sounds fun :)

I just kinda wonder why when you’re in a browser or node, you wouldn’t just do

const json = {...};
json.friends.filter(f => f.age >= 18);

why learn another language when you already literally got the language to process JavaScript Object Notation right there.

I’ve been using that for all my JSON extraction and processing needs. Let me automate a bunch of my builds for JS stuff for FoundryVTT https://gitlab.com/foundry-azzurite/pings/-/blob/master/build/build.sh

Ok, I guess that’s it then. Just didn’t make sense to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is a wainwright?

Setup an autocorrect phrase :D

The foundry specs are so low you can probably use a toaster for the hosting. The client (web browser) uses graphics for the tabletop so the requirements are a bit higher, but still every device currently available will be able to run it I’m pretty sure.

The main difficult requirement is the networking, whereever you host it will need an open port for people to connect to. I don’t know how hard that will be for you.

Don’t know much about the Matrix stuff, I’ve just seen it before.

FoundryVTT. It’s a one time license fee and though the code is not completely open source, it’s mostly just client side JavaScript that is completely unobfuscated and supposed to be able to be viewed so everyone can modify it with addons. The server is obfuscated JavaScript.

It’s completely and easily self-hostable.

So far, the company/people behind are just TTRPG nerds just wanting a good and friendly VTT (…wanting to make money with it).

It is a full VTT though. If you really only want chat+dice rolling, I would suggest a matrix server with a dice roll plugin/bot.

Just follow (good) recipes. Use recipes from a recipe aggregator (I use Chefkoch because German) that has multiple recipes of the same dish that users can rate to determine which recipes are “good”.

Most of them have a “preparation time” scale, just use the ones with an acceptable one for you.

When you don’t know cooking well yet, you should start doing this so you learn the techniques and things to look out for.

I’d cook a big tray of eggplant lasagna and freeze most of it, so I have food for multiple days. Once you know a recipe well, it’s generally a big cooking time saver to make a lot of it and then freeze.

The reason this is as public as it is is because an archive like this is more useful the more is archived. If you manage it in an entirely hidden way, you basically won’t get it accessible from the clearnet and are relegated to keep it on Tor or similar. And once you do that, a lot less people will use it and thus it’ll be a lot less useful.

Also, they are not only fighting for an archive to exist, they’re fighting for it being a societally acceptable thing to exist.

What’s wrong with cksfv?

I am one with everything, so by speaking about myself, I speak about the whole of reality. Checkmate!

Everyone is a woman on this blessed day!
