What percentage of wetland is it?

(I missed the wetlands text. Disregard)


Doesn't it lose a lot of money and its usefulness is directly correlated with its current massive usage.


It ran about break even until very recently.


I don't know about you, but with tech salaries, rent is the least for my concern. I think that's true for most people that don't live in ridiculously high cost of living areas.


Perhaps, although until COVID (and we'll see what happens with remote work compensation in the long term) nearly all people with huge big tech compensation packages lived in ridiculously high cost of living areas. I suspect a very large portion still do. In the Bay Area I've heard no shortage of stories of couples/families with two big tech salaries still spending very large portions of their paychecks on rent/mortgage.


I mean the reason we write code in business is to make money and continue to provide features/fixes at an efficient rate to continue to make money. If you can do it right the first time within the confines of the time allotted, go for it. But if it comes at the cost of making money/spending time, we aren't doing it for an esoteric reason.


> continue to provide features/fixes at an efficient rate

The crappier a codebase is the harder this becomes


How would you even enforce this? You'd require a minimum of 10 companies at all times and mandate user distribution? That wouldn't work


I had no idea Dead Cells was made in this. That game is incredibly sharp. Need to play around with this as it seems relatively simple.


is really cool, is 3d under the hood, then they make a 2d pixel render over.

article of gamasutra about the gaming pipeline of dead cells https://www.gamedeveloper.com/production/art-design-deep-div...


That was an absolutely fantastic read. Thank you for that!


Haxe (the language Heaps uses) was initially written by Nicolas Cannasse, who worked at Motion Twin for a while; not sure if he was part of the team that did Dead Cells. So it's not a big surprise.

Still, that's a big +1 for Heaps/Haxe then Dead Cells runs fantastically.

EDIT: Ah, looking into it more Nicolas also founded Shiro Games who made Evoland, Northgard, etc. So it might just be following him around (not to disparage it, still looks great).

> The NSC was created in accordance with a law passed by parliament in July 1992 which authorised the establishment of an agency to replace the KGB, the old national security apparatus of the Soviet Union.

This would be the KGB offshoot. Belarus also has a KGB as do other post Soviet countries, I believe.


Where are they packed? Genuinely curious to see some data about this.


I don't think you are genuinely curious at all. And if you were actually genuinely curious you could do a cursory Google search or even read a major newspaper. Instead you sit waiting on someone else to deal with your asinine request.


Man this is the most non constructive response I've heard. I'm looking for a resource of data showing hospital utilization and you come say me with this nonsense.


West coast, Midwest, and north east: Ohio, Rhode Island, Alaska, Iowa

Providence hospitals on the west coast are overwhelmed

Hennepin hospitals are overwhelmed in Minneapolis

Trinity Health with hospitals in 25 states is also getting overwhelmed

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/21/1066093...

“ The troops deployed to hospitals will include doctors, nurses, paramedics and other personnel during January and February as needed, the senior administration officials said. The White House is also deploying six emergency response teams to Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Hampshire and Vermont, the officials said.”

See this is exactly what they said last time, they said hospitals were being overwhelmed then it turned out later that the emergency wards had been empty the whole time.

Anyway, I was suspicious so I looked up some of the hospitals you mention. It turns out they are actually short of staff not beds... because they fired them all for not taking the vaccine.

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/athena-thorne/2021/12/...

The media is in full spin trying to cover up the reason why hospital workers are leaving, claiming it is because they are exhausted, and ignoring the fact they were fired.

https://www.fox9.com/news/people-are-exhausted-health-care-w...

The Hennepin hospital you mention is getting the army to send more staff

https://www.modernhealthcare.com/safety-quality/defense-depa...

Obviously they aren't short of beds or more staff wouldn't help.


Uh, hospitals don't get short of furniture anywhere in the world. Most places don't even get short of equipment. It's almost always staff that is the limiting factor.


1. I wouldn’t call PJ media a reliable news source, and I lean right

2. Not all staff quit due to vaccine requirements. As some of the articles pointed out, they quit due to sheer exhaustion from the hospitals being continually overwhelmed

3. The percentage of nurses taken out due to vaccine requirements is less than 1%. Yes, every staff member counts, but that’s not the sole source or even the main source for hospitals being overwhelmed

4. The main cause of hospitals being overwhelmed is still due to a surge of incoming patients.


That's not how drafting for a war works at all. There's extensive training for all the positions, unless you're considering the mythical notion of how Russia sent bodies to war with no weapons


This. Header trace propagation is a godsend.
