Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)

They're also as mysterious as crop circles in programming. I know how it works but I'm not going to explain to the next poor sap. Such an antipattern. It's in the name, don't do this sort of shit. Stop being clever. Your code should be dumb as fuck

I think this should be default behavior. Countless times, blocking is used to silence disagreement rather than actual harassment. It's used offensively as well: By blocking your political opponents, they can't tell your followers that they're in an echo chamber

I wouldn't know, I'm a filthy casual. Parkitect never did it for me, but Planet Coaster did. The point is nobody's making a new Rollercoaster Tycoon under that name, but that doesn't mean there aren't worthy successors from competitors.

Cities Skylines is a better example, I remember how much Sim City sucked, but Cities Skylines knocked it out of the park

I do! Thanks for the suggestion

It's time for a new Sims. The way Cities Skylines replaced Simcity and Planet Coaster replaced Rollercoaster Tycoon. Fuck EA

My most watched movies:
Jurassic Park
The Firm
The Verdict
Children of Men
Arrival
Lord of the Rings

But you know all of those already. Here's one you probably haven't seen: Love me some stage play adapted to movie. Doubt (2008)

How is that different from blaming poor people they have a bad work ethic?

The new ones won't catch on so it doesn't bother me that much. We should be grateful that the enshittification isn't faster when it comes to URLs

Not sure what you mean. Blinding headlights is definitely worse in the last two decades

Lighting is the determining factor? I think the real problem is speed. With kids coming out of nowhere, people need to drive slower. With some regular low beams you should see plenty, no need to light up the whole neighborhood

Your low beams were fine 20 years ago. Don't create this expectation in drivers that they have to turn night into day. That only adds to the problem of asshole drivers prioritizing their ability to see over other people's ability to see. Matrix headlights are unnecessary and create orders of magnitude more light pollution

Blinding headlights are due to poorly aligned low beams, too bright LED headlights, bigger cars with their headlights mounted higher and higher. So the solutions are: low beam alignment that can't be made to blind you by the driver, regulation on luminosity and color spectrum of lights, stop financial incentives to make vehicles large, heavier, deadlier.

Juni 15 & 16 wordt de laatste keer! 😢

 

Voedingsmultinationals als Unilever en Heineken zijn tijdens de inflatiecrisis miljardenwinsten blijven boeken. Ook supermarkten leden niet al te veel pijn door de hoge prijzen. Die rekening kwam grotendeels bij de consument te liggen. De ceo’s van grote bedrijven zien verzachtende omstandigheden. ,,In crisistijd laat een bedrijf zijn echte gezicht zien”, stelt hoogleraar Karen Maas.
