I don't know much about football, but the changes to the CFL rules seem like an issue for everyone with a pair of these installed.
The football posts are now the wrong distance from each other. Either soccer fields get longer, or football gets shorter, or you need new equipment.

Basically, this. The yellow ring gets all the attention, because it is where we disagree. And those disagreements are vitally important. It matters how we treat people that some of us but not all of us fear. But portraying it as a war only shrinks the green area to the benefit of powerful whites.

24 years ago today I walked to work, heard CNN.com had crashed, went to find out why. By the time I found out, both towers had fallen.
Hours later the Edmonton Sun was giving away a special edition on the street corners downtown.
Last October I was in NY for work, and finally visited the memorial.

Just finished this on vacation. Read it in two days. Detective procedural fiction in a D&D inspired world. Fast paced, love letter to the genre and fantasy art the same time, but stands on its own as a fun story. Really impressive. There are four in the series, which I will be picking up for sure.

Happy Sunday. We started a game of Eclipse, so I'm having a good time. Hope your long weekend is great.

This has got to be satire, right?
Like... start by asserting ignorance of the domain, and qualify your recommendation so it only applies to egomaniacs?
If this isn't satire, I don't know if I can handle LinkedIn any more. My algorithm is veering into a sort of corporate manosphere. 🤮

I like that people like @qsteenhuis.blsky.app from #AI4A2J have adopted the phrase "drowning in low-hanging fruit". But I don't think people understand it quite how I meant it.
It is a blessing, exciting, and overwhelming, yes. But it is also blinding. We can't or won't see what else we could do.

If so, I could use an AI to invent a plot, derive movability requirements for the locations, use this code to generate an abstract map, and combine it with the code I wrote for procedurally-generated FF1 maps, which currently outputs random things like this, right now:

So my constraint against adjacent ports is not working at all, and it is not adhereing to the non-movement requirements.
If anyone is interested in taking a look, forking it, and come up with a definition that has a usable dual, the code is at swish.swi-prolog.org/p/path_test.pl. Run "? test."

With that, it still takes 100 seconds to run on only 5 nodes, and the response to ?- movable(a,b,walk), movable(d,e,walk), not movable(a,d,walk), not movable(a,e,walk), movable(b,d,sail), not movable(b,d,walk), movable(a,e,fly). Looks like this: (manually built in graphviz from the model)

Wildfires? Sure. Politics, maybe. Weinstein? Nobody "needs" to know this, do they?

Right now it just does walking and flying, but I can expand it to cover the other modes of transportation and deal with longer paths.

Port formation code is working. So the procedural map generation now uses all the tiles in the overworld. There's about 15 bugs to fix, and a lot to do to organize the code better. Then we can get the code to design maps given the requirements of a plot!

There's a few more features to add, like caves, keeps, etc., and I still need to figure out how to generate ports. Then it will be time to make the map generation work for progress gating... a walking zone, a sailing zone, a canoeing zone, and a flying zone. Here's a few more shots of random cities

Progress on procedurally-generated RPG maps:
I gave the system the ability to randomly generate cities and villages, and add them to the map. Lots of bugs to fix in how the terrain patches are being generated, because they are overlapping one another, and they tend to leave empty spots.

As a nice side-effect, it also generates these "gaps" when two areas of terrain of the same kind are randomly generated next to one another, and I don't hate it at all.

Progress on random world generation: Came up with a way to categorize the continents, and randomly generate different terrain types inside each. A few little bugs remaining to deal with, but the basic system works, except for rivers.

Then we smooth out the edges, convert the grids into tile-types, and load the result in Tiled. Not perfect, but getting close, and good enough to move on to the next part... filling in the landmasses with terrain other than grass!

Then we make only the 30% highest-value grid squares into land, and leave the rest as ocean...
