I mean I like Jeff but the OW1 eras of pretty bad gameplay and pretty long time waiting fixes happened on his watch. He designed a crazy fun game, but I think his stewardship in making it stay balanced and various and fun once you get good at it was a bit more lacking.

It's, half of all ghgs, not 70%, but still two provinces representing 15% of the population emitting 50% of GHG CO2e is insane.

Google parental controls shut down automatically after a certain age.

Crack Dot Com's "Abuse". Greatest run-and-gun platformer ever.

Yeah, this. And I don't need a fully immersive experience for that. Like, Glass had enough for that - a camera for facial recognition, a screen for info. You could do the same if you mounted a camera on an earbud and put the display on a smartwatch.

I don't want Augmented Reality, I just want a dashboard/status bar for real life. A little screen in the corner of my view would solve that.

No, I mean single-letter vars are standard in physics and math, but reusing vars is not acceptable. Obviously they're not good practice except in the scenarios you describe, but mathies gonna math.

That's what cloud services are for.

But then "turn on the lights" doesn't work. I've only got 1 speaker in the room. This would also fail if you had IoT lights in your nightstands and you wanted to control just the main (multi-light-fixture) light but not the nightstand lights, for example, which is specifically why I don't bother with IoT lights in nightstands and the like.

So wait, this comment is +20 despite the fact that it's complete nonsense. I'm not blaming u/willybe since he's obviously learning a lesson about shooting from the hip and is taking that to heart, but the pile of upvotes says something very bad about the !canada Lemmy community. Our politics may be different from the old /r/Canada community, but it doesn't seem like we're any more reasonable than they were.

Our highway systems have been overwhelmed for over a decade, and they should stay overwhelmed. Stop driving. We should be building more transit instead. But transit is only viable in high density areas, and we don't have enough of those. So let's keep bringing in people, and fire all the folks at City Hall telling developers that those people can't have homes.

The trick is they're all "guidelines" that planners will use to arbitrarily foot-drag on approvals. None of them are formally "regs" but just tools for a kangaroo court to dither.

Don’t take my word for it, see this video of deposition by Mark Richardson of Housing Now TO (an affordable housing builder):

He specifically calls out "guidelines which are treated like they're cast in stone". An example of such a "guideline" would be angular plane rules, which result in Toronto's wierd stepped buildings, resulting in this complaint:

"You want green buildings? Green buildings are big chonky boxes made outta wood. They're not Mayan pyramids, which is what the urban design guidelines require."

Or even vaguer height limits that seem to be complaint-based:

"$20 billion dollar intersection in Forest Hill; somebody said that should be a 7-storey and 70-unit building in 2018. How...where did that number come from? Somebody picked that number. Because it "conformed to the current planning policy for Forest Hill" and somebody adjacent to the site had a backyard swimming pool. That can't be our priority in 2023."

I loathe the Poilievre conservatives, but they’re right about this. First step to stopping the housing crisis is to kick some municipal government ass. Trudeau is trying to do it with carrots through the Housing Accelerator Fund, but it’s long-since time for sticks and not carrots.

That's what she said.
