Re:I Am the Cheapest Bastard in Indie Games on Tuesday August 27, 2019 @08:10AM (#20808701)
exactly, The game i spent most time playing this week is entirely text based, there is only a background image, which i turned off as it was a little annoying.

im talking white text on a black background.

the gameplay was and always will be much more important than the graphics.

I like the idea, but the verbiage that you are using is not great, also there are some grammatical errors that should be corrected (msg me if you want the feedback)
woah, who is to decide what is right and wrong if not the system we designed to formalise the rights and wrongs of the countries we are in?

I'm all for GMO as its the only way we realistically have a chance to feed all these damn children people keep having.

What fails to amaze me every time is that burning a flag is the correct way to dispose of one.
Re:Sony's mini air conditioner can fit in your pocket on Sunday July 28, 2019 @10:54AM (#20547850)
Well by its size and stated run time were looking at 10-15W of power into the peltier device, that gives us a generous 2W of thermal cooling.

it might provide a cool feeling on your neck but its going to be purely psychological.

clothing optional days? doesn't your bum stick to your seat?
Consider the same freelancer, new to their profession with limited start up capital unable to purchase the adobe suite he trained on in college so he has a choice, try and learn a whole new tool and hope there's a FOSS or cheaper equivalent or pirate the software and buy a licence when the money rolls in.

how much was adobe to buy outright? CS6 master collection was what, $7,000

I for one could never upfront that, but $70 a month for 100 months, including all updates in that time and new products as they release? sure, im game.

some jobs just don't need to be done, as in some companies shouldn't be operating.

a chicken shop in a town of vegans should be allowed to close

We are going to have to get used to and start to develop a legal and moral framework around the fact that it will soon be impossible to stay in the shadows.

Yes, it allows the materials to dry out and prevents microscopic damage from hydrolysis or mould et al.
Define private, you walk in public in front of security cameras wearing your face in public. your face is now public information.

Your name is on your mail, your census, your driving licence, you provide your name and address to companies all the time. your name and address is now public information.

If someone can tie your public face to your public name then thats public information.

you dont like it, get a PO box and wear a mask all the time.

because you can't do that, that's not how shapes work.

could connect a sensor to some kind of excreta to get a blood sugar level? maybe an implantable sensor with blood flow?
I remember when a lost episode of Dad's army was found on a cassette because some guy happened to record it from the radio and never lost it.

As someone from the UK I find a lot of this hilarious, our employment laws are strict as fuck, unions are optional even in unionised businesses and no one gets fucked over if you don't join

oh God, I knew I had heard it somewhere before
Yeah, I get your point, and a lot of this is individual to the person... I personally know that when I am in the zone I perform better and remember the lessons learned for longer.

I would certainly be interested in more/followup studies regarding this matter.

Re:Why Is Location Data No Longer Private? on Saturday May 26, 2018 @04:48PM (#17164177)
I'm implying that the FBI won't give a fuck if its legal or illegal and the onus is on you to prove that you are not a terrorist, which considering you have been monitoring high level government officials on a real time location basis... Good luck.
Is it not time that an international force was setup to deal with the Zetas once and for all? at this point they are getting to ISIS/ISIL level shitbaggery, at least ISIS chop your head off quick, cartel members do it slow, with dull knives...

Yep, mostly FBI agents waiting to arrest you for felony wiretapping charges

All the mobile carriers in the US are shit at keeping your data secure, real time data has been leaked on one hand, comcast leaked home addresses and wifi router login details on the other, article is calling out Ajit Pai for trying to repeal 2015 privacy rules amongst said bullshit.

and im her in europe basking under the protective blanket of the GDPR (which sounds too similar to the DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik for my tastes))

Re:The Day the Golden Gate Bridge Flattened (2012) on Saturday May 26, 2018 @03:26PM (#17163810)
The bridge was designed with a maximum deflection of 16 feet vertically and 27 feet horizontally.
I think what they are trying to convey is that mindless practice simply reinforces current skills.

We've all been in that state of high performance where suddenly its 2am and you think "ok 5 more minutes" then its suddenly 4am.

I would liken a lot of what he is saying there to a kind of trance state, similar to self hypnosis, where there is only the work in front of you.

I get into this state most often when I sit down to produce any kind of art, I spit and spat around starting but then after a while settle into it and can spend hours working on something, its a whole different feeling to just regular doodling, its all encompassing.

What's troubling is that there is no rational discussions, its always "breast is best" or "emotional impact statement here"

Of course we can all agree that in ideal circumstances, breast milk is the best thing for babies, its unique biologically adapted (even between feeds) formula is impossible to mass manufacture and biologicals like leukocytes are impossible to add in.

However, if the mother does not produce enough milk, then failure to thrive concerns take over, supplement.

If mother is post partum, dad can take over and supplement.

People just eat the tagline these days instead of doing a basic cost/benefit analysis and thinking a little bit for themselves.

Add to that the seeming acceptance of bad science and you end up with anti-vaxxers.
