Chat Control was proposed and rejected in the European Union

You're right, mixed up the names, in UK they called it Online Safety Act.

> These days, what are American soldiers dying for? A society with great health care? Fantastic education? Wealth and social stability?

Yes, except it's not their own one.

The game always made me think of this line too. I wonder if they had it in mind when they came up with the name.

> I'll probably wait for a couple versions before trying it out on my game since I'm sure it's not exactly battle-tested yet

Who better to do the battle-testing?

Indeed. If a test runner embedding the Godot engine is now feasible on paper a proof of concept implementation seems deserved: if there are fatal bugs or limitations they will be eventually corrected (sooner if properly discovered, reported and discussed), and if there are none the new technology is "battle-tested" enough.

But what if those complementary skills also become cheap?

Then you are a product manager, but humans cant do it all..

There are surely more trees than this

If I haven't seen them, then they don't exist.

The article doesn't make that claim. For example, the service n7 is used by multiple other nodes, namely n3 and n4. There is no cycle there, so it's okay.

but why is having multiple paths to a service wrong ? The article just claims "it does bad things", without explaining how it does bad things and why it would be bad in that context.

Doesn't your advice contradict the BBC's phrasing? Collectively, the band lost its spot in the top ten. And, collectively, the crew has 35 seconds to prepare the stage for the next performer.

I think this is to some extent a British English vs US English thing; it's certainly more common to treat words like crew/company/etc as plural in British English. The linked article is being overly prescriptive, though. Both are basically fine.

Aren't longer boards worth more per boardfoot too?

Yes, and the wider the more it costs per bf as well.

I have a couple products I make that require 12" widths, which means I pay a whole lot more per bf than < 10" widths at my hardwood supplier.

Yes, but most trees are plenty tall enough.

How does the graph representation help you solve the problem?

I was mixing methods, sorry. My initial rendition for solving the cuts would initialise a somewhat sparse network from tree to ground, and solve for non-overlapping paths.

This became convoluted and I just opted for a far easier method of solving vector intersections.

Its also not perfect since I haven't factored in rotation origin very well, and I'm now pursuing a far simpler physics-based approach
