> A layout grid is not a table

Ain't it? Rows and columns get you a table.

Western Europe would have been collapsing right now if daddy cold capitalist didn't show up with gas and guns to drive away the Russian bear.

Western Europe has been on vacation for 30 years. There is no future where they can stay on the path they have been on. European leaders recognize this, but how the hell do you get a generation raised with an easy life to recognize this?

Germans work 400 hours a year less than Americans, and they celebrate that. Good luck.

This is what working in a toxic working culture does to a person. "Because I only have one week of PTO a year and have to be constantly add afraid of being fired, everyone should be!"

So, if you have a minor emergency, like a kidney stone and hospitalized for the day - you just miss your chance to vote in that election?

If so, I see a lot to dislike. As the point I was making is you can’t anticipate what might come up. Just because it’s worked thus far doesn’t mean it’s designed for resilience. There’s a lot of ways you could miss out in that type of situation. I seems silly to make sure everything else is redundant and fault tolerant in the name of democracy when the democratic process itself isn’t doing the same.

If hospitalized on that specific day: Sign the back of the voting card and give your ID to a family member, they can cast your vote

side note:

Amazon is a marketplace, and more and more different vendors came to that place selling cheaper, shady things. They seems to have an open door policy. It's somewhat understandable.

But that same strategy got adopted in many different places.

Decathlon on their website offer products from other vendors. It's really shady as they advertise hassle free returns everywhere but that only applies to products sold by them specifically, not to majority of products available in their shop.

Kaufland (if you're in US think Germany's Walmart) has the same thing going on.

This is happening everywhere, making a quick buck and completely ruining your reputation. The main Amazon competitor in The Netherlands bol.com has gone down the exact same path

In this image from the Chicago Tribune you can see two of the bots. one is orange, the other yellow. they should have been in a straight line since they were being used to guide the swimmers down the course.

i was told they position via gps and their gps just didn't work downtown.

In the US, there’s a thing called the Opticom. It’s just an extra light that is installed along with the normal light bar, and the traffic light recognizes the strobe pattern, and changes. https://www.fedsig.com/product/opticom/

No app required.

But highly susceptible to unauthorized use. The app version can also alert drivers directly with an audible alert that an emergency vehicle is close by

Forgive my ignorance, but why don’t game developers put more effort into limiting the amount of data accessible to the client (restricting it only to what’s reasonably necessary)? For example, couldn’t more movement physics be validated or handled server side? Cheats might still be able to read some data from the game process, but ideally, they’d be limited to issuing inputs like any other player, based only on the same visible output everyone sees. Is it cost? Does this model just not align with how the client/server split looks in games?
Boltgolt · 6 months ago
That's exactly what's being done, but you do not want everything server side over a network delay that is almost always more than the time between frames. Only server side physics would mean a lot of visual jank. It's now usually a model where the client and server make the calculation and the server "rolls back" the client of they do not match.

Data is being limited though, like not sending opponent location data unless the client can see them
