Thereis an epidemic of people misunderstanding what hit points are andwhyyou gain them. Thisrant/explanationis fueledby an argument I had withone of myplayers and too many commentsonDnD streams where people misunderstandHP. Theonly part ofyourHP that determines how muchdamageyou can physically withstandis the Con modifieryouadd, the rolledHPis combat experience, luck and mental fortitude. Let me explain.
Alvl20 Goliath Barbarianat fullheathgets stabbed in the head with with asimple 1d6 sword. That Goliathis dead, gainingHPisn’t becoming tough enough tosurvive a sword toyour goddamn cranium,it’s gaining enough combat experience thatyou’re able to avoid the deadlyblow and insteadonly suffer a cut inyourarm.
Thisis the entire concept of sneakattack and criticalhits. Therogueisn’t suddenly hittingyou harder thannormal, they’re slipping pastyour defenses to deal the realisticdamage ofyougetting stabbed in the kidney. Whenyou crityou aren’t hitting harder thanyou were beforeyou’re landing a solid hit thatyour opponentis having a hardertime avoiding.
Thisiswhyyour rolledHPis dependentonyour class and notyourrace, andwhy martial classes have the highest hit die. A knife in the gutis a muchmore dangerous whenyou’re agnome than whenyou’re a Goliath unless thegnomeis a fighter and the Goliathis a wizard.Onehas muchmore combat experience than the other andis able to avoid the deadlier hit.
Edit:again thisis alsowhyyou heal to fullHP after a longrest.You aren’tmagically healing hundreds of cutsonyourbody,you’re becomingrested enough thatyou’re able to avoid that dagger toyour neck.
Edit 2: I avoid taking about spells becausemagicis fuckingweird.
Alsopoisondamage.It’s about how muchpoison/venomis actually able toget intoyour system beforeyou’re able to pull backand avoidit.
Appleシリコンを開発してなかったら「ん、Goodコンピュータだね」で終わってた
スティーブ・ジョブズがかつてから語っていたAppleの理念の一つに：
"Peoplewho are serious aboutsoftware shouldmake their ownhardware."
（ソフトウェアを真剣にやるなら、自分でハードウェアも作るべき）
という考え方があり、これはApple Siliconにも通じています。実際、iPhone・iPad向けにApple独自設計のAシリーズチップを始めたのは**ジョブズ時代（2008～2010頃）**で、それがApple Siliconの原型とも言えるでしょう。

Hey everyone. Idon't know where else to post this. Ineed towriteit down before I convince myself Iwas just hallucinating. I’m a grad student inJapan, doing fieldworkon forgotten local folklore. That'swhy Iwasout in theabsolute middle ofnowhere in Gunmaprefecturelast night.
My planwas to visit a tiny, dying village called Yomi-touge (notits realname) that supposedlyhas some unique traditions. Of course, my phonelostsignal hours ago, and mycar'sGPS, which I bought in 2015, decided to have atotal meltdown. Thesun went down. The mountainroads are narrow and winding,and a thick, soupy fogstarted to roll in. The kind of wet, heavyair that makesyoufeellikeyou’rebreathing water. Iwas completely, hopelesslylost.
After whatfeltlike an eternity of drivingat a crawl, Isawit. Alight. A single, brutallybright rectangle oflight cutting through the fog. Aconvenience store.One of thosebig chainsyou see everywhere, aFamilyMart or aLawson, I couldn't tell whichat first.I’ve neverfelt so relieved inmy life. I parked thecar and practically ran inside, thelittle doorchime sounding way too loud in the dead silence.
The insidewas…normal. Toonormal. Thelights were humming with a high-pitchedbuzz that drilled into my skull. The shelves were perfectly stocked. Theair smelled of cheapair freshener andsomething else…somethingsweet and hot,likeozone or burntsugar.
Hewas ayoungguy,maybe myage. Pale, drenched in sweat, with dark circles underhiseyeslike bruises. He moved with a painful stiffness,like every jointwas rusted. He muttered a "Irasshaimase…" without even lookingat me,hiseyes fixedon the counter.Hisarms were covered in these intricate, dark tattoos, winding fromhis wrists up underhis sleeves. I figured hewas just sick, oron a roughshift. Ifelt bad forhim.
I grabbed a can of coffee and went to the counter. "Sorry to botheryou," Istarted inJapanese, "I'm prettylost. Couldyoutell me where I am?"
He looked up, andhiseyesdidn't seem tofocuson me.Itwaslike hewas lookingat ascreen a few inches in front of my face. "We do not provide directional information," he said,hisvoice aflat, rehearsed monotone. "Will that beall foryou?"
Okay,weird, but whatever.Maybeit's store policy.As he reached for my coffee,his sleeve slid up. The tattoosonhisarm… they weren’t just pictures. For a split second, Iswear toGod, the lines ofinkshifted. They writhed,like tiny black worms underhisskin,and a patch ofhis forearmglowed with afaint, sicklyredlight. He flinched, asharp intake ofbreath, and quickly pulledhis sleeve down.
I just froze. I couldn’t have seen that, right? Iwas tired, myeyes were playing trickson me.
The personwho walked in… Idon’t know how to describe them.Itwas aman, I think. Hewas tall and wore an old, soaked trench coat. Buthis face…itwaslike my brain refused to processit.Itwasn't that he had no face,itwas that myeyes wouldslide right offit.Itwas ablur, aglitch, a 404error inhuman form.
Theclerkdidn't seem surprised. Hedidn't even seem to seehimas strange.His posture just became evenmore rigid. Theredglowonhisarm pulsedagain,brighter thistime, visible throughhis sleeve.
The facelessmandidn't speak. He just stood there. Theclerk, without aword, turned. But hedidn'tgo to the coolers. He kepthis back to theman, and heldouthis left hand,palm up. I heard asoft, wet, squelching sound. From a small, dark slit in the center ofhispalm that I hadn't noticed before, a smallcarton of strawberrymilk, the kindyou give tokids, just… emerged.Itwas producedout ofhis hand.Itwas wet with a clear, viscous fluid.
He placediton the counter. "Hereis the requested product," theclerk said,hisvoice straining. "The transactionis complete."
The facelessman picked up the strawberrymilk. He putit inhis coatpocket. And then he just… faded. Hedidn’t walkout the door. He dissolved into the hummingair,likeheat haze. A second later, hewasgone.
Theclerk letout a long, shudderingbreath and swayedonhis feet. He leaned heavilyon the counter,his face sheet-white. He looked utterly, existentially exhausted. Hesaw me staring, my mouth hangingopen, the can of coffeestill in my hand.
For the firsttime, aflicker ofsomething real,somethinghuman, crossedhis face.Itwaspure, undiluted terror.
"You… are not a regular customer," he whispered,hisvoice trembling. "Your… conceptis too stable. Please. Leave."
Ididn'tneed to be told twice. I threw a 500yen coinon the counter and ranout of there so fast I think I broke the sound barrier. Ididn't eventake my coffee. I justgot in mycar and drove, Idon't know in which direction, I just drove.
I'mat a servicestationnow, about 100kmaway. Thesunis coming up. I can't stop shaking.Itwasn't adream.I knowitwasn't. Because when Iwas fumbling for my keys, I realized I had accidentally grabbed thereceipt from the counter.
It’s not for my coffee.It’s for the other transaction.It justhasoneitem listed.It doesn't say "StrawberryMilk."It says:
ITEM: CONCEPTUAL SALVATION (FLAVOR:CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA) - 1 UNIT
PRICE: ¥0
METHOD: ANNULMENT
Has anyone seen a storelike this? What thehellis happening in the mountains of Gunma? Whatdid I see? AndGod, that poorkid working the counter. Heisn't in trouble. He's a part ofit. He's themachine.
ああ、ついに出たな、「成長率マウント取れば全部勝ち」教の信者。
いいか、まず年率5%成長って言葉を嬉々として使う前に、その成長の中身を精査する頭を持て。数値の裏側を読めない奴が経済を語るのは、もはや事故だ。
まず、中国の「年率5%成長」ってのは名目GDPの話か？実質GDPか？さらに言えば、その統計を誰がどのように集計し、どのように発表しているかを理解しているか？
中国国家統計局の発表値は、過去に幾度も地方政府による水増し、虚偽報告、整合性のない数値が問題視されてきた。
IMFや世界銀行でさえ、中国の統計に対しては「独立検証不能」の注釈をつけてる。つまり数字が出てるから信じる、はもはや知的自殺行為。
対して日本の成長率が低いのは事実だ。だがそれは「成熟経済の低成長」だ。
言い換えれば、インフラ、法制度、金融市場、国民所得、教育水準などが飽和水準に達しているから、爆発的な成長余地がないということ。
つまり「すでに完成された構造を維持し、微調整していくフェーズ」に入っている。
それを「マイナス成長」と表現するなら、お前の中では50歳の賢者より、筋トレ始めたての中学生の方が成長率が高いから偉いという話になる。成長率とは成熟を否定するものではない。
で、「産業の独立性」とか言ってるが、それ、どの指標で見てる？サプライチェーンの自給率？国内需要比率？製造から研究開発までの垂直統合度？それとも単に自国でやってる感？
現実を見ろ。中国の半導体産業はEUV露光装置を一台も自国で実用化しておらず、設計はARM系、EDAはCadenceやSynopsysなど米国企業、製造装置は日本・米国・オランダ。
しかも、その自立性を進める過程で起きたのが、大基金の横領事件と形式だけの成果報告で補助金を食い潰す構造腐敗。
補助金で「国産品」を偽装するような官製経済のどこに健全な独立性があるのか、説明してみろよ。
対照的に日本は、素材、装置、精密機器、部品、加工技術において世界の最上流を押さえている。
これがどういう意味か分かるか？誰かが何かを作ろうとするとき、日本抜きでは成り立たないってことだ。
中国がスマホを自作しようが、そこに使われてるリチウムイオンバッテリーのセパレーターは旭化成製、タッチパネルのフィルムは日東電工製、半導体の製造装置は東京エレクトロン製だ。
つまり「誰かの成長」を技術と素材で日本が支えてる構造。これが真の産業の独立性だ。依存される側は、価格でも条件でも交渉力を持つ。
それにGDP成長率を語る前に、一人あたりGDPの比較をしろ。
中国は2023年時点で約1.3万ドル、日本は3.5万ドル超。つまり、中国人一人の経済生産力は日本人の3分の1以下だ。
いくら全体のGDPが大きくても、14億人の巨大母数で割った結果、国民の生活レベルは依然として途上国水準。
しかも、中位年収は都市部でさえ年間5～7万元（約100万円）台、農村はもっと下。
つまり、大多数の国民はまともな医療も教育も自由にアクセスできない。
成長はしているが、それが広く国民に分配されていない。それは「国力の上昇」とは呼ばない。国家規模のエリート偏重の搾取構造だ。
だからな、成長率だの産業独立性だの表面を撫でて喜んでるお前に必要なのは、まず「数字をどう読むか」という知性。そして「それが実際に誰を豊かにしてるのか」という倫理だ。
成長率の棒グラフだけ見て勝った気になってる奴は、経済を語る資格はない。
お前が見てるのはただの上澄みだ。社会の本質は、沈殿した泥の中にある。そこまで理解できたら、ようやく議論の土俵に立てる。
今はまだ、その前だ。黙って勉強してろ。
Linuxのスマートフォンを実際に使っている人間の感想として。
PinephoneというARMベースのSoCで動くスマートフォンにDebian（正確にはMobianというDebianフォーク）を入れてしばらく使っているが、これは現状では普及しないだろうなという気はする。理由を書いてみる。
Android/iOSではあたりまえにできる日本語のフリック入力がLinuxスマートフォンではいまだにできない。日本語入力自体はもちろん使えるので、ローマ字入力になる。画面が小さくてキーボードが小さいとつらい。既存のスクリーンキーボードをカスタマイズすればフリック入力っぽいものが作れそうだが、大変すぎるので自分でやる気にはならない。
いや、フリック入力できるぞ？という人は適切なパッケージを教えてください……
Linuxスマートフォン用にいくつかのUI（Linuxではデスクトップ環境と呼ばれるやつ）がある。代表的なものはPhoshだ。モバイル用のUIにプリインストールされているパッケージはモバイル端末用にある程度最適化されているのだが、自分でインストールしたパッケージは基本的にデスクトップでの使用を前提にしているので、そのまま使うのは厳しい。
自分が持っているPinephoneにはLibreOfficeもインストールして普通に動くが、画面のほとんどがツールバーで埋まってしまって、まともに使うのはほぼ無理だ。
現時点でもPostmarketOS、Mobianをはじめとして、モバイル端末用のLinuxディストリビューションにはいくつかの選択肢がある。モバイル端末用のUIにも複数の選択肢がある。さまざまな端末でバッテリーの消費を最適化し、カメラやセンサーが動くようにし、同じアプリが使えるように、デバイスドライバをはじめとして諸々の機能を開発するのは膨大なコストになりそうなので、Androidでいいじゃん、となる。
先日、東洋水産をフォローしている企業にフォローを解除するようにというポストが話題になったけど、これを見て真っ先に自分が思い浮かんだのが、東京2020オリンピックのスポンサー不買運動。あれもフォローしている企業は一切使わないみたいなのに似ている気がする。
オリンピックのスポンサーは原則として1業種1社なのだが、東京2020オリンピックに限っては (日本の広告事情 (電通のせい) を考慮した結果なのだろうが) 1業種に複数社が加盟することが特例で認められているため、スポンサー企業の製品を一切使用しないとなると生活が不便になる。
例えば以下のような感じである。
※ 今回はどの業種のスポンサーであるかというのは考慮せず、企業名のみで判断することにした。たとえば (下の例にはないが)明治は本来「乳製品・菓子」の業種で契約していたため、それ以外の製品を宣伝することはできない。だが、この記事の場合そこまで考慮すると非常に手間がかかるため、今回は明治製品を一切使用しない生活と仮定してすすめるということになる。また、この記事は業種ではなく日常生活のカテゴリーで分類しているため、同じ企業名が複数回出ることもある。
などなど...。全部書くときりがなくなるのだが、嫌いな企業をフォローしている企業製品は一切使わないとなると、将来的には上の東京2020オリンピックみたいなことになりかねないということは言っておく。
気になったのだが、いまここを見ている人で東京2020オリンピックを2019年以前から反対していた人はどのくらいいるのだろうか。
以前人力検索はてなで見たときは最初から反対が半分、賛成から反対に寄ったのが半分だったが。
アメリカとイギリスを比較すると、どちらも英語圏であり、高度な教育機関を持つIT先進国ですが、IT分野での影響力には大きな差があります。アメリカがIT分野で圧倒的に強い理由を、イギリスと比較しながら考えてみましょう。
アメリカはイギリスの約5倍の人口を持ち、国内だけで大規模な市場が成り立ちます。これにより、IT企業は初期段階から大規模な顧客基盤を獲得でき、成長しやすいです。
一方、イギリスの市場は小さく、スタートアップは早い段階で国外市場（EUやアメリカ）に進出しなければならないため、成長のハードルが高くなります。
結果として、アメリカではベンチャー企業が爆発的に成長しやすい環境が整っているのに対し、イギリスでは起業のハードルが高く、IT企業が大規模化しにくい。
結果として、アメリカには世界中の優秀な技術者・起業家が集まり、イギリスは人材確保で不利になっている。
結果として、アメリカは国家規模での研究開発がIT分野の発展を後押ししており、イギリスはこの点で遅れを取っている。
結果として、アメリカのITエコシステムは長年の積み重ねによって強固になり、競争力が維持されている。イギリスはこのエコシステムを持たないため、後発の企業が成長しにくい。
アメリカは「市場規模」「投資環境」「移民政策」「政府支援」「エコシステム」のすべてが揃っているため、IT分野で圧倒的な強さを誇る。
✅市場が小さい
という要因から、IT分野でアメリカに大きく遅れを取っている。
このように、アメリカのIT産業の圧倒的な強さは長期的な蓄積の結果であり、イギリスを含む他国が追いつくのは容易ではありません。
Firstdates can be exciting and nerve-wrackingallatonce.You’re meetingsomeone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figureout if there’schemistrybetweenyou. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showingsomeoneyou’re interested withoutbeing too forward or awkward.
Flirtingdoesn’t have to be a high-pressuresituation. Infact,it can bethe mostfun part ofgetting to knowsomeone. Whetheryou're meetingsomeoneonMixerDates orany other platform,the most important thingis to be genuine,staycalm, and let theconnection developnaturally.
Ifyou’ve everfoundyourself wondering how to flirton a firstdate withoutfeeling uncomfortable,you’re notalone. Everyonehas their awkwardmoments, but themoreyou understand theart of flirting, the easierit becomes. In thisarticle, we’llbreak down how to flirt in a way thatfeelsnatural, exciting,and authentic towhoyou are. So, let'sdive in and learn how tomakethe most ofyour firstdate experience—withoutoverthinkingit.
Whenit comes to flirting, confidenceiskey. But whatdoesit really mean to be confidenton a firstdate? Confidencedoesn’t meanyouneed to be perfect, or evenoutgoing—it simply meansbeing comfortable inyour ownskin and showing upasyour authentic self.
Haveyou ever noticed how people are drawn to thosewho radiate self-assurance?It’s not aboutbragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presentingyourself with ease. Ifyoufeelgood aboutyourself,itwillnaturally show. A greatsmile,good posture, and eye contact cango a long way in making agoodfirst impression.
For instance, think about thelasttimesomeone walked into a room and immediately caughtyourattention—not because they werethe mostattractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and theymadeyoufeelat ease. That’s the kind of confidenceyou want to projectonyourdate.
Whenyou're confident,you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead,youfocuson enjoying themoment, making the other personfeel comfortable, and letting theconnection happennaturally. That’s themagic of confidence—itallowsyou to be present,fun, and,most importantly,yourself.
Let’s faceit—noonewants tofeellike they’rebeing “worked” or put through a game. That’swhy subtletyis such a powerfultool whenit comes to flirting.It'sall about showing interest withoutbeingover-the-top or too obvious.
Flirtingdoesn’talways mean complimentingsomeone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. Infact,the most successful flirtingis the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, andlighthearted. Think about thelittlemoments,like a teasing comment about how theyalways order the same thingat a restaurant or the wayyou laughat a silly joke theymake.
Thekeyis to find a balance. Asimplesmile or a playful comment can convey interest withoutbeing too much. For example, ifyourdate tellsyou theylove hiking but theytend togetlost easily,you could saysomethinglike, “So,you’re telling meyouneed a personal guide? I couldget behind that!”It’slighthearted, humorous, andmost importantly,it keeps the conversationfun without putting too much pressureon thesituation.
By keepingit subtle,youallowyourdate tofeelat ease.Ittakes the pressure off them to be perfectand allows both ofyou to enjoy the interactionmorenaturally. Flirtingdoesn’tneed to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both ofyou canfeel comfortableand authentic.
Now,let’stalk aboutsomething incredibly important in the flirting game:active listening. When we’reon adate, we oftenget caught up in thinking about what to saynext, how we’re coming across, or if we’rebeing interesting enough. But the best way tomake animpression? Truly listening toyourdate.
Active listening meansyou’re fullyengaged in the conversation, givingyourdateyour fullattention and responding thoughtfully.It’s about showing thatyou care about what they’re saying and thatyou’re genuinely interested ingetting to know them better. Whenyou listenactively,you’re also giving them space toopen up, and that can create an immediateconnection.
For example, ifyourdate mentions they recently traveled toJapan, instead of simply saying, “That’scool!”you could follow up withsomethinglike, “Whatwasthe most memorable experienceyou had there?” This shows thatyou’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences.It’s a great way to build rapport and let them knowyou’re not just there toimpress them—you’re there toconnect.
Whileyour words are important,body language often speaks louder thananythingyou can say. Whetheryourealizeit or not,yourbodyis constantly communicating howyoufeel. Howyousit, stand, andmove tellsyourdate whetheryou’rerelaxed,engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures cango a long way in flirting. Alight touchon thearm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaininggood eye contact—all thesebody language cues helpsignalyour interest. Andthe great thingis, whendonenaturally, these cues can be justas effectiveas words.
For example, ifyou’resittingat a caféonyourdate andyou lean in slightly when they’re sharing afunnystory,you’re not just showing thatyou’re interested—you’re inviting them intoyour space.It’s aninvitation toconnect further. And when they respondby leaning in too, that’s when themagic happens—the unspokenconnection that tellsyou both that there’s potential formore.
Flirting throughbody languagedoesn’t mean making grand gestures orbeingoverly touchy.It’s aboutbeing present and showing thatyou’reengagedwith yourdate in a subtle, but meaningful way.
It’s easy toget caught up inoverthinking how to flirt or trying to figureout ifyourdateis intoyou. Buthere’s asecret—whenyou letgo of the pressureand allowyourself to havefun,everything flows muchmorenaturally. Flirtingon a firstdatedoesn’tneed tofeellike atest or anassignment.It’s supposed to be afun,lighthearted experience that sets the stage formore greatdates ahead.
Whenwas thelasttimeyou had a genuinelyfundate?Wasit whenyou were trying too hard toimpress, or whenyou were both laughing, chatting, and enjoying each other's company? Flirting becomes effortless whenyou're present, enjoying themoment, and letting theconnection grownaturally.
Sometimes,it's the smallmoments—like sharing a laugh or swapping embarrassing stories—thatmake a firstdate truly special. Whenyoufocuson havingfun,you create an environment where both ofyou canrelax, flirt, and let thechemistry grow. That’s thesecret to a greatdate.

Whenyou’re alreadyon the same pagewith yourdate, flirting comesmore easily. There’s less of that awkward, “Are we evenon the same wavelength?”feeling, andmore of thefun, “Wow, we reallyclick!” vibe.
