ramirezmike,

yesterday a guy tried to wave me to cross then started angrily raising his hands like “FUCKING GO!” completely oblivious to the car that flew past his left side in the opposite direction

ramirezmike,

how often do you use teams? And do you usually have network issues? I have pretty stable Internet and don’t run into any of these issues but I could see the occurring if teams doesn’t have a stable connection.

Teams opening files in teams is super annoying though.

ramirezmike,

do you mostly communicate with people in your company or do you talk with external people too?

Don’t get me wrong, I know teams has issues, I have my own list of complaints, I’m just surprised how different your complaints are.

ramirezmike,

doesn’t it work literally by passing in everything it said to determine what the next word is?

ramirezmike,

a comment on that site really condescendingly claims this is how he would have handled it and that a script could be written in half a day to do the work.

my understanding is that an emulator effectively recreates the hardware’s different components in software so that from the game’s “perspective” it’s running on a real machine more or less.

This process instead decompiles the game code and recompiles for a new target machine.

I suspect one can’t just pump out a script in an afternoon to do this, but I am curious what is the complexity here?

ramirezmike,

that makes sense, it’s like only really feasible now that we have enough decompiled, readable n64 games

ramirezmike,

I suspect it was my age when I first played it but when I play it now I don’t feel the camera pain. I know that’s the biggest complaint but what exactly is the pain? is it hard to articulate exactly other than it feels like a lack of control?

ramirezmike,

I think the most famous one was the star wars jedi force trainer? Some people say it’s fake but… it’s like a headset you put on that they claim reads your brain waves and it controls a little fan that switches on and off to make a ball in a tube float

ramirezmike,

goldeneye 64 was pretty innovative even compared to its pc competition at the time. It suffered from performance issues, but the xbla remake or just good emulator settings fix that and really make it shine

ramirezmike,

100% agree on the best beaches

As the Destin song everyone definitely knows says… “Miami is cool… but I’d rather live in Destin”

ramirezmike,

yeah everyone, this guy personally knows idk maybe a hundred people? which is totally a large enough, unbiased group to make a judgement across the hundreds of millions of people who watch Eurovision 👍

ramirezmike,

If I see you standing around taking pictures and videos with your phone I’m going to assume you’re just in it for your Instagram posts.

This is good advice, but seeing historical footage of protests is kinda cool though, tbh

ramirezmike,

😂 successful business men aren’t buying Captain Morgan

ramirezmike,

I understand what you’re saying. I think you can interpret what you said in two ways that sound like you don’t know captain morgan: either you think actual successful businessmen drink it or you think people who aren’t successful but ignorantly think of themselves as successful drink it.

I think you’re getting downvotes because both of those groups wouldn’t drink captain morgan as a “sign of their success”

For example:

ramirezmike,

food is a big part of every culture and it is something everyone has to deal with several times a day. That already brings in a lot of opportunities where someone’s diet is relevant to conversation. And, veganism goes beyond diet. I don’t think they necessarily do it on purpose, you probably don’t notice how often you bring up specifically the opposite of veganism.

ramirezmike,

thank you! every time I see this I get upset.

You could just as easily have a confusing sentence with the Oxford comma like this

“We invited JFK, the stripper, and Stalin.”

is JFK a stripper?

It doesn’t matter, it’s the author’s responsibility to write things unambiguously.

ramirezmike,

I told my gf’s parents to watch it and just to start at the beginning because “they’re all great!”

Took a while after they told her that they really didn’t like it for me to realize what I had done.

ramirezmike,

I studied news journalism in college and they kinda hammered in that in news journalism it’s more important to communicate information consistently and to target a wide audience than it is to make “good writing.”

There are style guides you have to follow and words like “slammed” end up getting used a lot despite not quite being accurate because they’re words that are used a lot.

The other thing is that usually the person writing the headlines isn’t the journalist… and sometimes they do a lot of versions of the same headline and when people click more because of the word slammed it ends up sticking.

ramirezmike,

yeah, unfortunately they need to make money to exist. And that creates all sorts of incentives that aren’t great. I still like journalism and think it’s an important part of a working society, but I decided pretty quickly after studying it that I didn’t want to be part of it

ramirezmike,

I kinda alluded to it but they probably don’t want to ban the word because it’s commonly used and it drives clicks.

ramirezmike,

I don’t see how it’s backwards, the word drives clicks and is commonly used. It’s unfortunate but most journalism has to be profit-motivated to survive these days.

ramirezmike,

this is so dystopian. Imagine spending your career honing your skill as an actor, dying and then having a computer replace you with just a photograph as a source. How is that honoring an actor??

An actual, practical example is generating video for VR chats like Apple has somewhat tried to do with their headset. Rather than using the cameras/sensors to generate and animate a 3d model based on you, it could do something more like this, albeit 2d.
