I like Shattered Pixel Dungeon, The Binding of Isaac and Lethal Company, so sure they’re great when done right!

They can add a lot of replayability, but they can just as well very quickly make your game suck more than if it had purposefully made levels. (I think a prominent example of bad proc-gen in general is Skyrim’s radiant quests.)

HEIC? Not that odd, it's essentially a H265 single frame (and video is just H265). You can change it in camera settings but the alternative is JPEG. Blegh.

Is this a real screenshot of him crying about the initiative reaching 100%?

Live public transport data (e.g. timetables) doesn’t come from OSM, it comes from the transport providers’ GTFS streams. This has to be implemented separately for each one since they all have their own way of distributing this data.

OSM only stores the static information that doesn’t regularly fluctuate, like stops, lines and the frequency of each line. (details)

There is an issue open on the Organic Maps issue tracker that collected some of the plans for adding live transport info/routing to OM. Not sure if CoMaps plans to do the same.

Those people are conspiracy nuts. Don’t listen to them.

Eh, as I said I haven’t been keeping up with it and I’m starting to forget stuff. I should get back into it. I did pretty good though when I was actively learning. I’d say even one of the best in the class that were learning it from scratch.

I went to Russian classes in uni for a bit over one year, and at home I did the exercises in the workbooks we had for the course + studying vocabulary with Anki. Basically the classic way to learn a language in school.

I started learning Russian 2 and a half years ago now maybe, mostly in uni classes. Haven’t done anything in a while though. I generally think slavic languages are cool and would like to learn another actually.

Я начинала учить русский может быть 2 с половиной года назад, в основном в универе, но ничего не делала за учение в последнее время. В общем я думаю, что славянские языки круто и действительно хочу бы учить другую.

This is a way broader phenomenon than just dark patterns or whatever. It exists in open-source as well which generally does not have any incentives to do this sort of stuff.

They should have one of these next to each city-owned grocery store.

Just saw this article linked in a ThePrimeagen video. I didn't watch the video, but I did read the article, and all of this article is exactly what I'm always saying when I'm complaining about current UI trends and why I'm so picky about the software I use and also the tools I use to write software. I shouldn't have to be picky, but it seems like developers (professional and hobbyist alike) don't care anymore and users don't have standards.

Topical minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments for hair loss and are proven to work.

Estrogen also very likely works well with hair loss this recent, it does for me. And it’s much lower maintenance depending on how you take it. Depends on what you think of the other effects :^)

Supplements and everything else that’s not specifically medication for it* is mostly bullshit unless you have nutrition deficiency (in case of supplements). You can get yourself tested for it by a doctor but it’s unlikely to be the case especially if your father also has hair loss.

* there’s some others like dutasteride but in the end they are all DHT blockers like finasteride as far as I know (DHT is what kills hair follicles)
