Yeah, this one's completely different from the one I remember. I found this blogspam around a greentext that matches my memory.

Just finished Stray. Yes, I got it because you play as a cat (who was created with great detail), but it also has solid storytelling, world building, and level design.

All of that is true, and the article brings it up. But the article is mostly about increasing accusations of Wikipedia having a liberal bias (e.g. recently from US Republican senator Ted Cruz), which the article suggests are not well-founded. I'm concerned about these increasing attacks, because if right-wing political types can reshape Wikipedia in the way they want, I expect all the biases you list will get worse, not better.

Thanks, that's an excellent article, and it's exactly what I was looking for.

I got hung up on this line:

This requires deterministic math with explicit rounding modes and precision, not the platform-dependent behavior you get with floats.

Aren't floats mostly standardized these days? The article even mentions that standard. Has anyone here seen platform-dependent float behaviour?

Not that this affects the article's main point, which is perfectly reasonable.

Started Into the Breach after getting it a few weeks ago in a Steam sale for less than $4. Excellent tactical gameplay with randomized encounters challenging enough that I haven't successfully completed a run yet.

That sounds like an issue with the underlying OpenStreetMap data that is used by Organic Maps (and CoMaps, and OsmAnd, and others). Map quality depends on where you are in the world and who is contributing to the maps there. If data is incomplete around you, you could contribute to it (but easier said than done, I know).

I can't say why the route would be hours longer than Google maps, but I've noticed OsmAnd~ tends to overestimate drive time for me (I think it overestimates delay from traffic lights). Or it could just be that calculating routes on your phone doesn't always give results as good as calculating routes on Google's servers.

I used to have scripts like that, but eventually switched to ssh aliases. You can set up an alias for each machine in ~/.ssh/config with lines like this:

Host p1
    HostName 192.168.1.123
    Port 22
    User pi

Then access with ssh p1. Slightly more typing, but avoids adding more commands to your $PATH. Also has the benefit of letting you use the same alias with other ssh-related commands like sftp.

Automatics also allow for engine braking. From a quick search, it sounds like a toss-up as to whether that triggers brake lights. Regardless, the article mentions the benefit is not only from cars slowing down, but also from indicating that a car is preparing to stop or "that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement". Neither of those can be done by an engine brake, so front brake lights would still have a benefit even with a driver that likes engine braking.

Oddly enough, that convention isn't universal. Top-to-bottom is typical in the US, UK, and Commonwealth, while bottom-to-top is common in continental Europe and non-anglophone Americas.

I feel like you may have misunderstood the article. It's talking about how support is increasing for dedicated Copy keys, and that programmable keyboards make it easy to use dedicated Copy keys. The article does not mention changing the behaviour of Ctrl-C.

I feel like she's trying hard to distance herself from Trudeau, but after years being right beside him, I doubt she can shake it that easily.
