The one that really impressed me was the capital on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. At one point I was walking on top of the walls surrounding it and looking around for a nice screenshot and I was just in awe of how great that city was.

Even beyond just emotions, in Portuguese the “be” verb can be translated into two different verbs: “ser” and “estar”. They are two complete separate things - so separate that English classes kinda turned the “to be” verb into a meme due to how long it takes to teach Portuguese speakers to use it and understand what it means in each sentence.

“Ser”: to be someone who is something. Usually more permanent, but not necessarily.

“Estar”: to be in the state of something. Usually more temporary, but also applies to permanent states.

Some examples showing how the meaning of some expressions change depending on which verb you use:

You are sick “Ser”: you are a sick (twisted/evil) person. “Estar”: you have caught some sickness.

You are sad “Ser”: life has made you sad in general. “Estar”: you’re feeling sad right now.

You are beautiful: “Ser”: you are a beautiful person. “Estar”: you are looking great today.

You’re good at this: “Ser”: literal, you’re good at this. “Estar”: implies being good is not the default but you have reached the point of being good at this.

**you’re funny drunk": “Ser”: when you’re drunk you are funny. “Estar”: you are drunk now and this time you turned out to be funny while drunk. Or, in this point of your life you’re funny when you’re drunk.

it’s cold there: “Ser”: that is a cold place. “Estar”: that place is cold right now.

it’s cold there now “Ser”: it’s like saying that winters in that place used to be mild but nowadays winter there can get pretty cold “Estar”: that place is cold right now.

It’s like when playing the lottery, if you say you’re picking all your numbers in a sequence, like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. People will tell you’re crazy because sequences like that “never” happen. But the same is true for every other combination of numbers too. The sequence just makes it clearer how unlikely you are to ever pick the winning numbers.

In the early century I’ve seen companies bundle an entire pc (with case and all) inside their own products just to avoid dealing with windows CE.

And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

Would be fun if steam hid those from anyone who used those specific payment processors while still showing them to people who used alternative options - and then people started to disable those processors due to it.

As long as it runs the same code, yes. But things may change, clients may pre-emptively split the string or stuff like that.

Imagine getting a multi byte character at the right position to get it split so that one byte gets in and the other doesn’t.

A second vote for Core Keeper here. I think it’s a safer option than Terraria, which could also be a good option but isn’t for everyone.

June and July deserve to share the same U too. In some languages it’s only the N/L that changes between them.

Huh, this sort of issue is what made me leave KDE in the first place. Haven’t had such problems on gnome.

I’m not saying it’s good, I’m saying I expected it to be even worse.

Damn now how am I gonna live without “Change my cursor to Sims 4”?

Reading the paper, AI did a lot better than I would expect. It showed experienced devs working on a familiar code base got 19% slower. It’s telling that they thought they had been more productive, but the result was not that bad tbh.

I wish we had similar research for experienced devs on unfamiliar code bases, or for inexperienced devs, but those would probably be much harder to measure.

“what are you saying? That I can quit vim?”

“no Neo, what I’m saying is - when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

It’ll be over one day and I don’t know how high the DPI will have to be, but I’m currently at 160 and I still see room for cramming in more pixels.

I started using computers at 640x480, sometimes 800x600. 1024x768 was a blessing. Since then I’ve always cherished every extra pixel I could get. I would never dare use anything above 1x scale.

It’s a completely different launcher, I just like the way they list the apps that are not in your home screen (very similar to windows phone). I still prefer smart launcher for its categories but sometimes for the apps I rarely use I liked Niagara’s list.

I kinda agree with you to some extent. At the time my general reaction was something like: “everything it does, it does wonderfully. But I wish it did more”.

When TotK came out, my first impression was “I guess I’m never playing BotW again”. Mostly because they kind of overlap with each other in many aspects.

But I still thought BotW was a great game, before TotK existed.

My ideal launcher would be a mix of Smart Launcher with the addition of the app list from Niagara.
