  • Earlier today I was playing the new Final Fantasy Tactics remake, and I encountered the line: “Then we’ll have two birds… and one stone!” (Referring to capturing two characters and retrieving a magic stone).

    That struck me as a particularly witty line in English to the point where I’m wondering if that saying is as common in Japanese. I wonder what the Japanese version of that line is.

    Also Ubuntu does this now.

  • This is a common rounding strategy because it doesn’t consistently overestimate like the grade school rounding strategy of always rounding up does.

  • What do you think: should all government software be open source?

  • Software developed by government funded research is typically released open source in the US.

  • Take a look around https://www.zillow.com/us/

    You can probably get a small house for 200k-300k in “middle of nowhere” parts of the US, but if you want to be in the vicinity of a big city (which is typically where most of the best paying jobs are) you will need more like 500k for a small house, and in the most popular areas (like the areas around Sam Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, Boston, or New York City) you might need more than 1 million.

    By “small house” I mean like at most 3 bed 2 bath.

    Even if you are going for a 200k house, you’ll need at least 40k for the down payment.

  • That would be 0.5 million USD (20% down payment), which is about how much a house costs in many parts of the US. In the most popular areas, 1 million USD is how much a modest house costs, and you’d need at least 200k for the down payment.

  • Then they complain about the moderators, and if enough of the community agrees, things will change.

    If the moderators won’t change, the community moves.

    If they don’t agree with the community, they should find a different community.

  • Seriously what's that idea?

    Jump

  • It sounds like what you want is for moderators to ban people for you, which they will do if you report them and the moderators agree that what they are doing is unwanted in the community.

  • It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now

  • You can also just buy digital downloads from sites like Bandcamp and Quobuz, and even iTunes if you click past the Apple Music streaming part.

  • Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

    Jump

  • As a general rule the more you spend up front, the less you will spend (in time and money) to fix and maintain the thing.

    3D printers are finicky which is why they often become a whole hobby on their own.

    As part of that, I’d strongly recommend you stick to one of the easier to work with materials (PLA and TPU seem to be popular rn). Those are good enough 99% of the time, and printing more exotic materials is more work. If you really need a better material, prototype in PLA and then buy a professionally printed final piece (I’ve personally used Shapeways a couple times. I wouldn’t call it cheap but for small parts it’s reasonable and the quality of the end result is quite good).

    I personally am using an EnderV3 right now. It’s very customizable, and was one of the cheapest options when I bought it, but it tends to take a lot of debugging every time I want to make something.

  • TIL: Until the late 90s, it was illegal to export encryption software that used keys over 40 bits in size from the USA. This lead to a criminal investigations of the creator of PGP and others.
