Any choice in publishing one news is simultaneously an active a choice in not publishing another. Furthermore, there is not one singular truth to report in the vast majority of news, in particular of political nature.
The solution is not to find another news outlet that feels more like truth. Instead, find a few different news outlets and understand their biases.
Careful mixing weather with climate. Depending on the model used, the Lyapunov time[0] for such a model is a couple of days. The whole climate system is a different beast, so no use comparing our predictions in one with the other.
What kind of open source projects are useful to go for? This seems like by far the best way to spend a few months. I know Python best but I don't mind learning a new language.
Shutting everything down in favor of quarantine is very problematic. If child care and schools shut down, no parent can go to work. Unless they get someone else to take care of their children, in which we've effectively bypassed the lockdown entirely. If this is the solution, let's hope most of your doctors, nurses and their auxiliaries don't have kids. And that is to say nothing of the economy of lockdown.
Herd immunity is a very real thing, and considering most young people can get affected with rather mild symptoms, perhaps a steady infection rate to build up immunity among the population is way better than hoarding and locking down.
The "herd immunity" theory seems to be the UK's approach, but it's going to fall apart quickly, I predict. They'll be in lockdown within 2 weeks.
In NYC, they just decided to shut down schools but they're providing childcare to essential personnel still, as well as meals and online education for school aged children.
Brood War does this all the time. The pathing is notoriously bad[1] and nothing has been done to fix it because it's not a problem. It allows players extinguish themselves by working with the weird behaviors.
Brood War hasn't had to ban a whole unit or building, though.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, the narrow ramps that you see in the campaign are banned for competitive maps because units like Dragoon will simply never go up or down one unless babysat the whole way, one by one, clicking a few pixels further with each move command so that the Dragoon doesn't go backward. Brood War is full of unbalanced and unworkable mechanics and was fixed not by Blizzard patches, but by literally professional pro map makers.
As a casual gamer I find this aggravating. Why should the NPCs be left dumber and less human than they could be? It breaks immersion and makes the game harder for novices to enjoy.
As did I back in the day. But now I'm older with less time to micromanage pathfinding. And our devices are much faster than when many of these games launched
Well, in general, the rest of the answer to your question is that newer games tend to have better pathfinding, but adding better pathfinding to older games will make them essentially different games. Casual players might like it; serious players would throw a shit-fit. It's one of those "we can, but should we?" questions; everyone's going to have a different opinion.
Now...I don't see why they couldn't have included it as a toggle-able option. I know that I've considered trying to build updated versions of old games, and when thinking about how to do it, that seemed like the best choice.
When I heard these arguments and no rush or no attacking 20 minutes it would get under my skins. To me the T in RTS was Time and many people wanted to remove Time out of the game.
This is precisely why RTS as a genre pretty much died.
