I made a similar thing for my adult flatmates when I was still a student. I was less 8bit and less a game, but the same priciple.

The incentive was a slight rent reduction at the end of each month.

It completely failed to motivate my friends to do more chores, but it landed me my first job.

Did you read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson? In the second part of the book, they use this and related technologies.

I just clicked the temperature thingy in annoyance because I don't use Fahrenheit and to my delight, it just switched to Celcius

I had a similar experience. Until I started exercising, I had very bad pain in my shoulders and neck from too much desk work. Every couple of weeks I would develop a "stiff neck". I also had pain in my wrists occasionally.

Lifting weights for one hour twice a week has alleviated my problems completely. I feel healthier than ever!

Google Photos has that. But I guess you mean locally?

> A circular economy of crypto does exist - it’s small vs. the speculation, but people do receive crypto and spend crypto without ever cashing out to fiat.

Can you provide examples that do not involve extortion or drugs?

I overheard a conversation just this morning where a young man was explaining to his friend that he was from Chzechnya, not Czechia. This apparently resolved a lot of questions for the friend.

I did not know that protocol ossification was a such a thing. Thanks for the link, it's an interesting article.

It says that middleboxes near the edge are more likely to be the cause of ossification. Are there any stats about that? Such as some manufacturers or software companies "infringing" on the end-to-end principle more often than others?

Frankly, I am a bit disappointed with the article. I fail to follow the argument that an encrypted header makes it easier to adopt HTTP/3 & QUIC because middleboxes cannot see the header. With HTTP/1.1 & TCP, the middleboxes should not be changing the TCP packets anyway, no? Also, the author does not point out that QUIC builds on UDP instead of directly building on IP like TCP does.

Effectively as in "they have the same effect". The difference was stated in the comment that you replied to: One is for general memoization, the other just for functions. You can use useMemo exclusively if you prefer.

By your argument, it does not make sense not to eat meat, because they will kill the cow anyway.
