So you're only going to call abandoned and/or end-of-support games "done"? Even if they were abandoned because there wasn't more that needed fixing/balancing, you're still using a definition I have never seen any other human being use. If it would be done at a given version if the dev just left, isn't any game that provides access to run any version better than "done"? (Minecraft, for example.)

For any multiplayer game this seems to just favour yearly release slop over actually good games with good teams behind them.

How does Zed compare to the tab completion in Cursor ("Cursor-tab")? It's honestly the only reason I have stuck with cursor in spite of the UI/UX being worse every single time I update it. Can I get something equivalent or better from Zed or some vscode fork/extension now? Admittedly I haven't looked in a bit, but it's seemed like nobody really cared about this workflow when I've tried in the past.

I haven't used cursor, but tab completion in zed works great for me. I also use it with Claude code extensively.

Or even simpler: why on earth are you using double quotes for a string if you don't want double-quote behaviour? Anything like this should just be in 'single quotes'... Any developer getting to "its parser changed a secret while reading it" and "By the time the bcrypt bug blocked SecretSpec," from basic shell semantics is frankly astonishing. I mean this on an organisational/team level, not as a personal attack on anyone, but the hubris is incredible to me.

This feels like the exact type of solution a badly prompted and poorly piloted AI tool manically follows to an absurd conclusion if you don't step in and tell it to do it the obvious and correct way instead of re-inventing the wheel.

(I would also argue most of the point of a .env file being what it is that you can source it in a shell? Does the author here have any sane argument for not using a yaml/json/whatever file and XKCD-927ing it instead? Is this not just introducing a flaw when `source .env` stops behaving like expected?)

This seems to say that an individual going vegan would save an entire transatlantic (!) flight for their footprint every single year, and recommends it as one of the four most effective things one can do?

I read the study wrong. A single transatlantic trip produce the same amount of emissions as eating meat for two full years. 1.6 tons for a flight vs 0.8 tons for a eating meat for a whole year.

Even though I agree that what the other commenter is saying is a fever dream, I do have to note that crops grow great in Norway and Sweden... so it's at least a little to do with temperature, surely.

There's North and then there's North. Canada already uses all the sensible land to use.

Nordland in Norway produced 500 tons of grain in 2024, mostly barley. https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/04609 Nordland's southernmost spot has a latitude north of 65°, further north than most of Canada, save for Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The website for Canada's Census of Agriculture is extremely clunky, https://agriculture.canada.ca/atlas/apps/aef/main/index_en.h... but seems to indicate no substantial amounts of any kind of field crops north of 60°, let alone 65°.

Hmm, this does seem to be a very nuanced map, and I guess it's more aimed at statisticians, than average people. But one thing I kept noting, was Alberta using land up north, right to the territories, and the Saskatchewan and Manitoba not.

I think there are three issues here. Climate, farm size, and reporting.

Some of the farms in the prairies are massive. I was hitch-hiking across Canada 20 years ago, and got a ride from a farmer in Saskatchewan. He told me he had some crazy number of acres of land, in the 50 thousand acre range, and that he was both the "youngest farmer" and "smallest landowner" in his coop. In the Prairies, they farm big.

And a lot of this seems to be voluntary.

So when I see the entire top half of some of these provinces simply cut off, I wonder if they even bother to report. The territories and managed differently, are directly federally controlled, and likely simply don't report. I find it hard to believe that farms stop right at the top of the Alberta border, and that's it.

That said, I don't think I said you cannot grow crops in the north, just that you're heavily limited in what you can grow. Some grain crops, in the south, you can get several crops a year. Hay, and some wheats, you can get 2 or 3 in a year.

But not corn. And not potatoes. And not a lot of other staples. Corn and potatoes are big, in terms of overall calories. Here, in Quebec near Ottawa, there are two types of human corn grown. In french they call it 'yellow' and 'bi-colour', in english Canada 'yellow' and 'peaches and cream' corn. The bicolour type has yellow and almost white kernels, and you can grow two crops of them here in this region, if lucky. For traditional yellow corn? On some cloudy years, the local farmer I buy from? They might lost their entire 'yellow corn' crop. It needs a lot of sun.

I suspect the faster growing crop is less nutritious, although I could be wrong. One problem is that due to cross-pollination, it's kinda hard to get the original yellow corn.

Anyhow. Not sure if you'll see any of this. But thought I'd respond regardless.

That's a good point. So then what makes it a fever dream?

You're thinking of _entertainment_, not art.

Just add video and a better voip endpoint to existing setups and you're already there. A lot of scams can be (and are) run by a small handful of people now. Phishing at scale with stuff like fake tracking links etc. is already fully automated by people in a ton of ways and can definitely handle some back-and-forth over sms/whatsapp/whatever.

Is "hiding" in the sense that you just need to have read the docs or know how the language works at a pretty basic level really a problem, or even a negative? I would certainly say that the readability and clarity on the form of loop being used is a bigger win, either way.

What don't you like about the voice? Geniune question, I'm not using it in English but I think it sounds fine in my language, and it's an improvement over the previous one.

It's just... Very robotic and clearly generated, makes random inhuman pitch shifts, etc.. Very alien overall.

There's like 10 voices to choose from.
