Please elaborate, I’m curious why. I was thinking of 1) the iPad (not to mention cell phones) 2) my kids spent a majority of their childhoods inside playing video games, unlike mine spent outside with kids from the neighborhood, and 3) Netflix, AppleTV, Amazon, Paramount, etc.. 4) Internet shopping and home delivery, 5) email.

Oh I tried to kick my kids out to play, it just didn’t work very well. The computer options I had as a kid were few and far between, and it was absolutely nothing like the vast sea of high quality entertainment they have on their multiple computer devices today. I got so bored with the sparse choices, I had to learn how to program my own games. My kids, on the other hand, had so many insanely good games and TV shows, they didn’t have the patience to learn to write code (until very recently) despite a lot of interest.

Nobody writes handwritten letters anymore (and even though it was fun, I’m not sure we should.) Movie theaters are dying since everyone can stream movies at home on big screen TVs (that are stuffed with computers now). Many many brick-and-mortar stores are closing their physical shops and going increasingly online. It seems like the computer has already changed the household immensely and irreversibly, not to mention the whole world we know.
In such case, why not simply ask who the owner(s) are, and/or include such conditions in the contractual negotiations? If the company is not new, there will generally be sufficient information available out there about them. If they are new, then you have every reason (and the leverage) to be particular inquisitive during your due diligence.
The dialogue is rather flat in FF10 (and most all JRPGs of that time). Not say it say it lacks substance though.

Given that flatness, I always found the voice acting awkward. I much rather read it.
Yep. Which is about the dumbest thing you could do.

Yay us!
I wonder if there's any connection between theater and video games in Japan, since theater is another medium where emotion has to be exaggerated to get across to the audience. And some JRPGs (e.g. Final Fantasy or Octopath Traveler) are not just open with emotion but pull out all the stops to get across the emotion they're going for.
Which is why Sublogic Flight Simulator on a 4.77MHz PC/XT was such a miserable experience prone to overcontrol. 3.5fps is not okay.

And you clearly have a very limited view of the world if you think I was referring specifically to the US. Whatsapp for example is practically the de-facto messaging app across vast areas of Europe and Asia, which collectively is vastly more iOS users than the US alone.

Your reply suggests you never understood what my original post was refering to.

> If the simulator would be FAA-certified, would you say that they simulate things accurately enough?

There are different levels of FAA-certified for sims, and I think we can agree that X-Plane is very much on the lower end of the spectrum.

My understanding is that X-Plane is based on limited geometric data, meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum, the Level D simulators that the airlines use are formally validated and tested against the real aircraft’s flight data.

So yeah, not accurate enough, ESPECIALLY (as @
inoffensivename pointed out) the sort of things you might want to use it for basic student pilot training.

People are usually a lot more understanding and less judgmental than we imagine.

Especially if we act in a way where we don’t need them to understand. Where we remain true to ourselves and find our inner security.

If someone does judge you for doing what you want or what feels right for you, that’s their problem :)

Easier said than done to internalize this, I know.
> it just sounds like a more complicated way to do precast construction.

Precast requires a mold. Molds are expensive.

If someone was making 100 or 1000 identical bridges of the same dimensions, precast would be the way to go.

That’s missing the point of this technology, which would allow one-off designs to be produced without molds.

I think the blog post is written quite oddly, in a way that makes it hard to engage with in good faith. The central question is: “Should we tell people that civilization is doomed.” It is on a page called collapsemusings, the audience apparently believes that civilization is doomed already, this doesn’t seem to be a point in contention for the intended audience.

Despite this, it runs through a big list of supposedly civilization-killing effects. These are’t really linked together, it is just problem after problem, joined by phrases along the lines of “if that doesn’t get us, this next thing will.” This makes it very hard to respond to. The author also doesn’t make a concrete link between many of these bad things and the end of civilization. I can show an example, but it is just one in a list.

> Pollution and habitat destruction are mutilating the tree of life. Once the insects are mostly gone and the topsoil is mostly dead, we will no longer have the ability to grow food on a mass scale, and it will be game over for modern civilization. But it gets even worse…

The article linked the “mostly dead” claim is:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/30/topsoil-farm...

It includes dire news like:

> Amid growing concerns about topsoil loss, no-till and cover crops are becoming more popular, according to the 2017 US Census of Agriculture. Forty per cent of US cropland is grown on no-till farms, up from 32% in 2012.

> Though still not widely adopted, cover crops are becoming more popular with farmers, too, particularly in the country’s corn belt. Nationwide, farmers planted cover crops on 15m acres, a 50% increase from five years earlier.

Oh wait no, actually the article says this is a problem but solutions are starting to emerge on the market (already, as of 4 years ago). And, would this actually threaten civilization itself? We have a lot of extra food in the Americas, and lots of food waste…

But that’s just one suggestion of many. Maybe one is actually compelling. The list is too long for a mildly interested outsider to research each one in detail. This is a failure on the part of the blog post, assuming the intended audience is people who don’t buy into the premise already—and if not, why list the possible causes in the first place?. Just start with “assume for the sake of argument that civilization is doomed.”
Final Fantasy VII Remake was an exceptionally good game. It managed to make me feel like I was a kid again when I was playing the original game for the first time. The graphics, music and overall mood was just right. I can’t wait to play Rebirth in February.
Yes, that's it exactly.

> Though, it's still a very cool idea, maybe an option to crawl sites I visit would be nice?

I had an extension installed for a while that submitted pages to the Internet Archive automatically, but it was a constant battle to remember to denylist any sites that were personal (bank, doctor, whatever) before visiting them. That was before I was heavy into the Firefox containers setup, so if I were to try that again I'd try to find a way to disable it for those containers (which, come to think of it, may be yet another container feature request)

Having thought a little further about your suggestion, I could imagine an extension that merely submitted the window.location.origin to the search engine and let it index the site, as a heuristic for "this site is popular enough to have received a visit in the past hour/day/whatever" but with Mwmbl specifically that'd put things back in a loop since it would send the site back to your browser to index it for them

I sure do hope Mwmbl's extension is not using the full browser context to make requests, otherwise any request to index mail.google.com would be no bueno

Connman is okay, it's less featureful than network manager but it's easy to use. I think some Kodi distributions use it, and also available in Debian. Connman, NM and systemd-networkd all strike a different balance (simplicity, server usage, client usage—pick two).

I think the point is more that it’s very easy to go through life only thinking (reading) the thoughts of others, and never truly thinking for yourself. In our hyper-information age, I think this is an especially common practice. Why start from scratch when there are already so many starting points others have thought of? Why build an original LEGO design when there are so many premade ones? Etc.

For anyone currently looking for something that does this for you, may I suggest Advent of Code: https://adventofcode.com/ This is the first year I've really made time and space to enjoy it, and enjoy it I have.

Also - this article ends on such a weird note given the message that the rest of it delivers. The author has finally realized how valuable it is to have something that gets them going, regardless of whether or not it ends up being "useful", but then immediately stumbles over the fear of it not lasting and failing to achieve greatness in it and sharply concludes with that sentiment.

Perseverance through intermediate-ness into greatness is irrelevant to enjoyment.
Sure, be great at your hobby if you're driven to be great, but if you're looking to maximize enjoyment, it's much better to focus on a) embracing intermediateness, and b) exposing yourself to new things so you can find the next hobby that will light you up.
Same fate with OnLive before it, which was super cool back in the day. Only Microsoft & NVIDIA have been able to build successful products out of cloud gaming but even then Microsoft doesn’t just sell the cloud part separately.

Not sure why it’s such a tough sell. Most games feel flawless through it, even back in OnLive days…
I think this because declaring our loved ones extinguishable crosses the fattest line there is. And doing that based on a stat damns our judgment.

Somewhere about here it becomes apparent that the value of our judgment is tied to the value we place on others.

Thanks for sharing the cartoon author's name. I have seen that before and didn't realize that Gavin is most likely a descendant from Burmese parent(s) -- his last name 'Aung Than' is distinctly Burmese. I immigrated to the US from Burma and it always brings me joy/pride when I see my fellow country people (or descendants of them) are doing something that contributes to the humanity/society. :)
I mean, they were always aping something though? Replaying FF7 I realized, at its core, it is just a mismash of 80s horror movies.

Still love it, but its interesting to notice in retrospect.
I’m in the minority, but I was let down by the game. I have RSI so forcing me into the modern combat in games destroyed it for me. I just wanted my turn based game. It also just didn’t feel like the original at all for as far as I played. Barrett’s voice was embarrassing to listen to I also remember feeling.

Yes you can switch off the fighting but that other system is very broken and it’s nothing like the Orginal.

I played several FF games a few years ago for the first time and felt like this for almost all of them (all on the Switch, don't remember which numbers offhand). The gameplay elements were just clunky and I gave up on those a few hours in, though I did complete X. Haven't done X-2 yet though.

You’re doing author name disambiguation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Author_name_disambiguation). That’s a difficult, messy problem.

For example, there’s https://revstat.ine.pt/index.php/REVSTAT/article/view/382, with two authors with the same first and surname working in the same institute and field. Try separating them without ORCID.

Such problems aren’t rare if you have papers that only mention initials, certainly not with Chinese or Korean names, as those are countries where name clashes are a lot more common than in the ‘west’ (over 1:5 of South Koreans have the surname 김 (Kim), 1:7 이 (Lee), according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Korean_surnames. China is slightly less bad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surname...), but compensates by having a much larger population)

I can’t find it, but remember seeing a paper with 4 or 5 authors named “Kim” with the same initials.

That author name disambiguation Wikipedia page links to https://github.com/neozhangthe1/disambiguation. I don’t know how good it is, but you should consider it.

And as others have said, you should use ORCID, if available. You should also use email address (often included in article metadata at least for the corresponding author), but can assume neither that every author has a single email address nor that a single email address belongs to a single person.

Another case to worry about is that names can change, for example because of use of a different romanization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization), marriage, or gender change.

Yes, wouldn't surprise me if you were to get blocked from tons of sites and flagged as a bot on Cloudflare and other WAFs.

With text only, I imbued the game with a little imagination - not unlike reading a book - and also found the weird translations let my imagination fill in the gaps
I appreciate the attitude, even if the conclusion doesn't seem justified. For me, the best take away was this note on appreciation:

"Even though they were stiffing me for thousands of dollars, I still appreciated the money they’d paid me and the work they’d let me do."

That has stuck with me since I read it, and helped me improve my attitude in adverse circumstances as well.
