Neat! I had never heard of this type of chart before, so I looked it up and found this link explaining how they work: https://sixsigmastudyguide.com/xmr-charts/

I think the interpretation of this chart is: In the 2020s, there is a statistically significant change in how many people share the Nobel prize in physics (more people are sharing it). We could speculate on what the reason for that could be. All that the data tells us that the effect is meaningful.

Made in Abyss season one has that one scene where the main, underaged character is suspended naked in public as a punishment. I’ve heard that there are a few other questionable moments in the manga.

Fair enough. I think it’s okay if you’ve experienced a place, given it a shot, decided it wasn’t for you, and moved away.

One thing I’ve noticed in NYC however, is how many people have an uninformed and strong default opinion that anywhere besides the west or east coast in unlivable, and that bothers me.

Your comment is reasonable, but a lot of the comments to this post reflect that same caustic attitude and it saddens me.

Austin is a nice city. With all due respect, and as someone who grew up in Texas but now lives in NYC, it is exactly this kind of condescension that makes a lot of Texans dislike people from the coasts.

The inverse square law only applies to undirected things, because the surface area of a sphere is proportional to the square of radius. The parent specified directed, like a laser.

I felt the same way about running until I started getting into triathlons. Watch out for that trap; races are at least $200 each, and road bikes ain’t cheap!

What I do nowadays when I want to introduce a new game, is 1) watch a tutorial video when I’m alone, 2) watch the tutorial video again while still alone, and then 3) watch the tutorial video a third time with the group.

I find that I usually mostly understand the rules at that point. No one else does, since it is still really hard even with the video and they’ve only seen it once, but they at least know basically what the game is and I jump in to help everyone through their first few turns.

(I am a native English speaker with excellent reading comprehension skills, and even so, it’s just a lot to take in all at once)

I like Sushi Go (specifically Sushi Go Party for variety), Hanabi, and King of Tokyo.

Suit yourself. I obviously don’t agree with that stance of his. But sometimes bad people still produce interesting works that are worth learning from, such as the submission in this post.

I think it’s okay to separate the work from the author in this case. As you say, he’s made some really neat stuff that stands on its own merits.

And given that he is essentially a professional contrarian it isn’t surprising that he’s had some misses as well.

So what you’re saying is, it is true that I will no longer have French installed.

It is heartwarming to see that one of the people who vandalized my project for hours made it into the top 100.

Does Nix have Guix-style grafts? I know that in theory that is how Guix lessens the minor-update-to-core dependency problem. But I only use Guix for dev environments so I don’t know how well it works in practice.

If it were legal, some lawyers probably would accept your firstborn as payment.

Well of course. Individuals in an organization are compensated based on “impact”. It doesn’t matter (at least for the first few years) whether the impact is positive or negative!

The way that she’s riding is aggressive but fairly normal for New York.

Some other things she does: go the wrong way down a bike lane (very common) and ride in the bus-only lane (this is actually the correct thing to do).
