Minecraft has a lot of bugs or otherwise surprising behaviours that parts of the community have come to rely upon. This means that most non-vanilla minecraft servers aren't 100% drop in replacements. You have to make a decision what behaviours you want vs the performance and simplicity gains you will gain.

For example there there are tricks that allow you to delete bedrock blocks. Which then lets you either get onto the roof of the nether, or drop below the bottom of the world. Not all of these tricks will then work depending upon the specific minecraft server.

Another example is that in vanilla you can "bomb" people with experience orbs, the sheer number of orbs on the screen will grind their game to a halt since there are too many objects to track and render. Some minecraft servers work around this by grouping up experience orbs into a single bigger orb. That way you have fewer orbs on screen at once.


One bug abuse that blew my mind recently is the ability to have wireless redstone in vanilla [1]. I fell deep into that rabbit hole after a previous post on here about Bad Apple in Minecraft [2].

It is correct in so far as Trader == tradesmen. But it isn't some "politically correct" thing. Also attributing political correctness to terms is often a political move in and of themselves.


> politically-correct word for ‘tradesman’

There is nothing politically correct or incorrect about it. It is just the standard term. Meanwhile in Australia they use 'Tradie' from what I understand.


Just migrated from Vim to NeoVim. Downloading and configuring all the various LSPs has genuinely been one of the most frustrating aspects.


Then you’d click the „yes and never ask me again” if a prompt about whether you want to download a random binary showed up. But a lot of people wouldn’t want to click that and would either click „no and never ask me again” or vet each case one by one


How are you going to "vet" the language server when it pops up?

It's not a "random binary" either, it's a hosted binary for language features coming from the zed developers github release.

Even if the binary was compiled on demand when you clicked the button, were you going to go through the entire source of node to verify?


> How are you going to "vet" the language server when it pops up?

You may not vet the source of the language server, but you might want to determine which ones you are willing to trust/take the risk, and which ones you aren't.


With Vim + ALE this is dead easy: Install LSP servers via your OS package manager, and ALE will find them in $PATH and use them.

If you want to use NeoVim, then LSP-zero + Mason was also a decent experience last I tried.


just use mason


mason can install them, but there isn't a way to "ensure-installed" built in. So that was a second package I needed. Then I needed a third package to configure things.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it was definitely more complicated than "just use mason".


You are working on project A, and project B. Project A uses python 2.6, project B uses python 3. You want a simple way to switch back and forth without reinstalling everything every time you switch between them. This setups a way to quickly and if I'm understanding correctly automatically switching between the two versions of the tool.

Replace python with many other tools from Java, node, etc.


If you are on iOS Overcast is really nice.


They can, and that is the alternative to complying. Apple wants their €€€ and to eat it too.


Sure the car will come out less damaged, but the pedestrians will be far more likely to die.


Do you really think if a vehicle hits a pedestrian, that metal choice will make a difference? Wouldn't speed be a more important factor?

There are aluminum vehicles that weigh more, it's really momentum rather than gross weight


Body panel angles and speed are the big ones.

Or, to put it another way, can a soft body deform around the vehicle and be thrown away from the impact? The sharp wedge shape from the front grille to the hood kinda says "No" to me.

Regardless, it will be good to see what comes out of testing.


It's angle. But we'll see, European crash test are a lot less permissive than the US ones, as regulator don't think 'killing people in older cars, on bike or on foot is a feature!'. If it isn't sold in the EU, it isn't safe.

Once again today i'll be fair to Elon, most new US SUV/pickups don't pass EU crash tests.


That is odd, never really seen rust on any of the non-stainless steal cars I encounter in my day to day life. Not unless they are really old and damaged in significantly other ways.


New cars are not in steel, but in aluminum, which does not rust (hence why metallic boat parts are in aluminum).


That was my point. Most cars don't have this issue because they use materials that don't rust as is. Why is Tesla choosing to use something that is hard to work with.


Waterstones and B&N are the same company.
