This is generally a pro for me. I can skip to the bottom of a file and see what the main purpose of it is, knowing that it's the only place that could reference everything else in the file.
This was cool (spacelancers didn't work in Arc but did in Chrome, forest demo 403's) - audio and fullscreen fail because they aren't initiated by a user gesture. Impressive how quick it is to get into a game with this level of fidelity, normally you'd need several minutes of downloading.
> 9% of the country's population, most of them young people
Young people want adventure, but all their homeland is offering is contentment. They need to account for the desire for opportunity in their GNH metric.
Depends entirely on the outlook of the person. I have met poor farmers in Pakistan who emphatically told me that my big city life was filled with work and devoid of meaning, while their slow village life was worth living. The sons had studied in the big city, had access to good employment opportunities, but told me they were desperately trying to get back to the village. It did seem that with access to technology, these farmers were working less per day than city workers.
These exist at the same time as other farming families who were trying to escape to the big city or other countries in search of employment and better life. The latter category is larger than the former, but still it all depends on outlook.
Inner Sindh, but not the worst parts of it, or the best. They did not report any law and order situation. Had access to the nearest city with a well built road. I think the biggest problem was poor quality drinking water and sewage treatment.
Well, I'm pretty sure the people living off subsistence farming in Europe during the Middle Ages were mostly content with their lives too (at least during peacetime), despite much worse education and health care than the modern Bhutanese are getting. The difference is that this was simply their way of life and they didn't have any alternatives. "Contentment" means being content with what you have - no matter if it's because you consciously decide that it's enough for you or because you simply don't know any better.
I really like this idea and have (briefly) tried something similar with a 'personal' discord server. I think this sort of thing would be great to rebuild local community over the internet instead of mostly faceless or parasocial interaction.
i also have a personal discord server, but discord is stuck being a text-first platform built for gamers around small/medium-sized communities.
I want to see a video-first/text-second platform emerge that serves as a global public square to supplant twitter. tiktok/reels/shorts is close, but it's too algorithm driven, too creator/audience for monetization dynamic driven, too vod-oriented vs live-oriented, and too walled-garden.
I default to never answering now. Every time I feel like it might be an actual person on the other end and risk answering, it has turned out to be a scammer or spam call. Not sure why governments don't do more against them - scam and spam callers have destroyed phone communication.
I (too recently) realized "shoulda, coulda, woulda"'s are generally useless, and to focus on only "need, want"s. If it doesn't fit into these two categories then it's not important enough to think about.
I'm really confused by this policy - isn't security and enforcement the value prop of the app store in the first place? Why are they offloading the work of accountability to user mob-rule by basically saying "here's where they live, go get them"? Who does this actually benefit? No sane disgruntled user is ever physically showing up at a developers home.
#5 is the only one I do, but because I never thought about it as a fear mechanic - I'll definitely avoid doing this now. That said, what's a good alternative? Sometimes you don't have time to bargain, is picking them up kicking and screaming actually better?
It's a tough call. I personally agree that default sorting on relevance score is better for discovery. It's easy enough to switch the ordering to points if desired.
