Turns out the game is always-online

Just like the game before it. Which also had tacky micro-transactions.

I'll let you guess what Diablo 5 will be like.

~~By this definition, performing a genocide is art.~~

Edit: I have been informed by replies, thank you.

By this definition, performing a genocide can be art.

Also, this post was art because I pissed off a bunch of people to the point that they were compelled to respond.

Captured, then released. From the article:

Otherwise, she seemed to be in good condition and, as I released her, she sauntered away into the darkness, seemingly unfazed by her close encounter with me.

You really should be providing a source when you make these kinds of claims:

Joel Myers' Wikipedia article is pretty damning. He does sound like an asshole.

Myers faced criticism in 2005 when he supported the National Weather Service Duties Act of 2005, a bill ... that would have prohibited the National Weather Service from publishing weather data to the public when private-sector entities, such as AccuWeather, perform the same function commercially.

You're right, they aren't doing so well looking at this 5 year window.

Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, exercise, some sunlight, some socialisation, an easy creative hobby.

You're right, it is easier to list those things.

IWTL how to Build an RF Amplifier (programming.dev)
 

I want to build / design an RF amplifier that can boost the signal from an AMT-MW207 kit.

Design goals:

  • Boost the signal a couple of watts
  • AM signal
  • 525 - 1605 kHz baseband range

I've been searching for RF amplifier designs but many of them are too big (10's of Watts), or are hard to implement. It's been difficult trying to find something that can instruct me clearly. I'll have to take into account things like impedances and the like.

I have an electronics background, so if you can only point me towards a book or other resource, even that would be helpful.

I'm going to be checking out 'Experimental Methods in RF Design', hopefully it can point me in the right direction.

Recommendation Request: Similar to Iron War (programming.dev)

I just finished listening to Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald. I loved the descriptions of the history of the event, the history of each of the racers, and their future after the race. It helped me feel amped for my own exercise sessions. Are there other books like this?

Excluding Matt Fitzgerald's other books, of course.

Maria Nattestad just dropped a new introduction to the field of bioinformatics.

Foundation skills for bioinformatics:

  • Python
  • Use the Command Line (e.g. Bash, scripts)
  • Statistics - p-values, multiple hypothesis tests

Rosalind: Website for learning bioinformatics and programming through problem solving (rosalind.info)

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.
