squiffy

How strange to see a familiar name here! I wasn't his PhD student but worked in the same department as Douglas Ross, and can only say that he was warm, extremely intelligent, with a very strong natural intuition about high energy physics, enjoyed puzzles, and wouldn't shy away from quizzing people giving talks. I remember he had a back and forth with a visiting speaker for about 20 minutes on some minutia!

I don't have much to add on the article itself except that it's almost certainly worth reading.

Can you say where the underground cellar with the red painting is? It's compelling.

I still think about some scenes in Naked having only seen it once. It's brutal and uncomfortable at many points, and a brilliant film.

I was visiting Dalston, London and thought I recognised a certain house and sure enough it was the (at least exterior) filming location for "the" house in the film. It was characteristic enough to recognise even after one viewing.

Although related to bardcore, I see this product as more about creating dungeon synth and its offshoots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_synth

which has seen a little more popularity recently, judging by the number of views this got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP9_XmmmIk0

This is great, thanks. A small fix I made to stop console warnings was to change:

  x.fillStyle = '#' + ((r >> 8) & 0xffffff).toString(16).padStart(0, 6);

to:

  x.fillStyle = '#' + ((r >> 8) & 0xffffff).toString(16).padStart(6, '0');

as the pad target length is the first parameter of padStart.

Here are some recommended mods from a previous Factorio discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22933767 Mostly convenience/quality-of-life improvements.

I "completed" the game using a lot of these and thoroughly enjoyed it but it was incredibly addictive.

Thank you so much :). I'll try some of these next time I go down the wormhole!

Would you have a small list of recommended mods for someone like me with ~50 hours in Factorio? Thanks.
