<p>To me this doesn't seem like a disaster but just the kind of thing that happens as you role out a service and expose it to new challenges.<p>Presumably they haven't had the chance to do a lot of flood training but now they have that chance.<p>The huge advantage they have over people in general is that ideally if they figure this out then it will stay figured out. Then they can slowly role out and watch for the next hitches from new situations.</p>

<p>My kids and I have been playing this for about 20 years.
It's worked on Linux, Mac and Windows and has never stopped working.<p>In the meantime so many other favorite games have disappeared or become obsolete.<p>There's no absolute reason great games can't be as immortal as chess.  Maybe Wesnoth can be.</p>

<p>A couple of months back I was looking for a fun quick project and also was having space issues on my Mac.<p>So github copilot and I wrote a little disk usage exploration tool in rust with very few dependencies.<p>It's called "syz" and I pronounce it "size" since it's all about exploring disk usage and figuring out what to trim.<p>Someone I respect started using it and reached out saying he liked it so I figured I'd dust it off and share it here!<p>After `cargo install syz`, use the `syz` command to enter the interactive cli starting at the current directory.  Then use arrow keys to navigate directories and compare their recursive sizes.</p>

<p>My son just started using 2B on his Android. I mentioned that it was an impressively compact model and next thing I knew he had figured out how to use it on his inexpensive 2024 Motorolla and was using it to practice reading and writing in foreign languages.</p>

Took it to an Apple store and a tech worked on it for a bit and came back with it fixed.<p>No charge. 
I was pretty grateful!</p>

<p>- making new friends does take a massive amount of time<p>I think the solution to this is to enjoy the journey. There's not a line that someone needs to cross before you can enjoy spending time with them. Just reach out and learn and enjoy people from the beginning.</p>

<p>I really like this passage:<p>>It is always the case that there are benefits available from relinquishing core civil liberties: allowing infringements on free speech may reduce false claims and hateful ideas; allowing searches and seizures without warrants will likely help the police catch more criminals, and do so more quickly; giving up privacy may, in fact, enhance security.<p>> But the core premise of the West generally, and the U.S. in particular, is that those trade-offs are never worthwhile. Americans still all learn and are taught to admire the iconic (if not apocryphal) 1775 words of Patrick Henry, which came to define the core ethos of the Revolutionary War and American Founding: “Give me liberty or give me death.” It is hard to express in more definitive terms on which side of that liberty-versus-security trade-off the U.S. was intended to fall.</p>

<p>I've been building a flutter django app around sharing and using checklists.<p>I use it myself by iterating on checklists and then tracking my usage of them and recently added orgs for privately shared checklists.<p>So it's easy to create an org around a shared task and then create a run through that task and track.<p><a href="https://checkipe.com" rel="nofollow">https://checkipe.com</a></p>

<p>If a friend told me they liked Rust but didn't like the borrow checker, I'd probably point them to Gleam and Moonbit, which both seem awesome in their own niches.<p>Both have rust-like flavor and neither has a borrow checker.</p>
