@UnarmedOracle If you can, get it cauterized. It felt very worth it for me.

@shiffman love The Nature of Code. One big issue with the physical book itself, I'd say, is the choice of paper. It's very plasticky, and also it's blinding, textbook-white. Is there a reason it couldn't be that nice beige other books tend to have?

@shanselman Thank you for the great presentations. What software do you use for drawing arrows and boxes during those?

A spicy take from @shanselman on what platforms are worth you're time. Loved hearing open and honest insight on what he's learned, and what he actually makes from his content (with receipts -- he screen shares his creator payouts 👀)

@cenkuygur That was a scripted speech full of lies where she avoided discussing any of her policy.

That was a home run. You don’t want to believe any politician, I get it. You didn’t like what she said and didn’t say about Gaza, I get it. But overall, Kamala Harris knocked it out of the park with that speech.

@firstdrafthell It’s an interesting question. Do I want the localized version, or do I want a normalized version? I think in generally, it depends on why the field exists and how it is used. Is it purely informational, or may it be used for legal reasons, does staff need to write it etc.

Ok... a bit of California politics which annoys me because at face value it's well meaning, but poorly thought out. In California @SenHenryStern has introduced a bill SB1505 which he's pitching as a way to make people with private jets cover the excessive environmental impact. Which in principle is a nice goal, but in his plan of execution it's a failure. It specifically *excludes* the largest polluters from the law, and instead targets a tiny sliver of small aircraft owners. Charter operators (part 135) are excluded, and as it happens many people who 'own' private jets actually run then as part 135 operations to offset the cost. So most celebrities zipping around the state on private jets won't be covered. And then there's me, who flies a tiny plane that gets better gas mileage than the best selling cars from Ford & GM - but I'll have to pay extra under this ill considered scheme if it become law. I'll be letting my local representatives know about these problems @AsmConnolly @ilike_mike

@BurkusCat @MystOpossum @LocalThunk Nope. Your choice of which hand to play shapes the next turns, therefore you have meaningful agency which should not be taken. Doing calculation that the game already can do is pointless and does not increase agency.

@BentoCheeseless @MystOpossum @LocalThunk The game could also just automatically play your best hand for you since it's trivial to calculate. At some point you have to draw the line of what the game should do for you. As you say, you can just ballpark the score and that's good enough.

@LocalThunk You really should have the preview, make it opt-out at most. All of the gamble is in the draw, not the calculation. Hiding it just pushes work to the user.

@MystOpossum @LocalThunk I really hope he doesn't stick to his guns. There's zero reason to not show the previewed score, since it's trivial to calculate regardless. You really don't ballpark your score each hand?

@LocalThunk I really hope you stick to your guns on this because me and many many others are still 100% with you in saying that not knowing your score until the dominos fall is like, one of the funnest and most appealing parts of the game!

Love the 42 grams and the easy format (drink vs. having to stir powder) but sad it has 7 grams of sugar. Anyone know of a similar option without sugar?

@LarAtLarian I think it could potentially be FF7 Rebirth, but it depends on whether they really surpass the previous title or not.

I don’t feel like we’ve had THE game on console yet this generation. Did I miss it?

@terrajobst I'd assume the first is equivalent to separate "is" clauses, and the second is an "or" clause
