New Pokémon Snap? I'm gladly waiting for all the reviews. Especially I'm waiting for all the reviewers and people bashing it for being too repetitive, short, and unoriginal. The N64 game can be played through within a few hours, and even then there was barely any varying gameplay beyond gushing over 3-dimensional Pokémon jumping around and abusing them with throwables. I expect the new one being similar in scope feature-wise. The right evolution of the game has to be at least a semi-open world with day-and-night cycles and a focus on stealth and exploration, like a real animal and nature photographer.

@adiwan The largest amount of gameplay time came from trying to find a Blockbuster with one of those proprietary printing booths. They should integrate it with Pokemon Go, lol. (Hey, I wonder if that Last Blockbuster Standing has one of the printers...?)
-
@scribus I saw a video about the last Blockbuster end of last year and I haven't noticed any Pokémon Snap photo printing stations.

@adiwan Community season 2 is one of my fave seasons of anything ever so I'd definitely take it that far at least. The rest ranges from okay to pretty good for me if you pretend the show ended with season 5
-
@tiff Finished Season 5 today and it was a stinker. I'm mid-season 6 and it ain't better.
-
@adiwan I got like 4 episodes into season 6 and gave up lmao, it is not the same show at all by that point

> Is it impossible for someone to make many mistakes on his own ?
@mangeurdenuage I mean that when a very big lot of people fails, it is a sign of a systemic failure rather than them not being up to it. -
hope to god those Nvidia leaks are fake, those are some ugly motherbatcaveing graphics cards.

@mrmattimation Who cares how they look like? As long as they perform and have good thermals for a reasonable price it's all nice and dandy. Also those leaks are nVidia's own design, and all other manufacturers can implement their own solution. Most of the time the card is in a PC case and in my case there is no window in my case, so looks are totally irrellevant.

I think I have an ultimate recipe for solving time travel paradoxes in fiction while retaining most of the perks: what if there are many other universes, and the only difference they have with this one and each other is the initial moment in time? The lack of actual time travel automatically eliminates all the issues of time travel like loss of information or consistency issues. And it removes the conceptual issue of time travel of it needing a backlog of the universe to get an earlier state, which is a bit arrogant to think the universe would have for our time travelling needs. So no human constructs like timelines. Instead it's a series of independent universes that just happen to align through the identity of initial conditions. Like what happened in Futurama but in parallel and with offsets. Not that I would like to write a novel, I just find it odd that, to my knowledge, this concept isn't already floating around. Maybe I'm ignoring some gr…
-
Though I guess this approach break one important part of a time travel · which is being able to see the consequences of one's actions on a longer span of time.
So a narrative like in Back to the Future cannot be represented with it.

> This the "who is responsible" problem is it the "tool" who is responsible ? Or is it the "people" who did something with the tool ?
If you're referring to all those ideas like "maybe Linux shouldn't boot for Nazis", then yes, that is not constructive.
> It's a self-input loop. Surroundings can influence someone but it will depend on the decision of the said people.
I think you're zooming in too much. This is more about whole societies.
Individual mistakes should not affect the outcome. And if there are too many mistakes, then maybe there's something wrong with the way things are organised.
> so a stimulus doesn't mean that everyone will act the same way.
Individuals are unpredicable. Populations – not as much.
It's like trying to argue that water flow is indeterministic, because water molecules move randomly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
> It's just ideological subversion. Computer hacking should never be involved into politics other than it's own. I don't know if I have a strong opinion here. I do think though that professionalism and political stunts aren't very compatible. Like when a website blocks a whole range of IP addresses, because nation leader bad. But what if someone makes code with an intention to undermine said bad nation leader? That's also political, but not inappropriate. > This can help but the situation will never evolve if the mentalities do not change. But mentalities always change. Whole subcultures can disappear with political changes. It's bidirectional – people define what surrounds them, but they also adapt to their surroundings. > You can give the best opportunities to someone, if that person as a violent behavior he will either create misery or be miserable or both. You can't expect humans to be rational. Undesired behaviour should be discouraged, d…

> When trying to fix historical social ills, people will resort to silly triviality like eliminating "master" in situations where it does not imply slavery, because it is easier to rename things than to reshape problematic behaviors. @lnxw48a1 What's especially strange is that lately people are more sure in that this works than ever. Maybe they see annoyance of people they don't like as a sign that they're succeeding. If the adversary thinks it's bad, then it must be good. > How to go from where we are today to a place where we do not use ancestry in workplace, housing, education decisions is tough. Well, my personal biased opinion is that on a state level this can be fixed in just a matter of decades by affordable healthcare education and employment strictly based on merit, i.e. with social justice. As I understand it, the correlation between wealth and skin tone is strong in the US, and I think that it's a self-perpetuating cycle as the need f…

I haven't made a fuss about the master-slave topology, however now things have become weird. There's an ongoing effort to deprecated the master branch's name in Git, which I find to be a strange move as the master-slave topology doesn't even apply to git – all branches are independent by design. Maybe I'm employing an overly rational approach, but shouldn't our actions make sense? Is making an implication that the word "master", in any context, is a sign of a slave owner a good idea at all? What about headmasters, people with master's degree, master records? A similiar thing can be said about the deprecation of terms whitelist/blacklist. They even predate the European colonisation of the Americas. I.e. they never had anything to do with skin pigmentation. And they never could, as skin pigmentation is observed with eyes, not lists. One can argue that it's fair as here "white" is employed with a positive connotation and "black" – with a negati…

@clacke Though I guess what they mean is that InnoDB stores data on drive in a KV fashion. But I don't know what in the InnoDB physical stucture can be compared to a key-value store, so the comparison is strange to me. -

@mrmattimation For decades a lot of countries have voting by mail. There are real world numbers how insignificant the frauds are. Also not giving people the opportunity to vote is soooo democratic.
-
@mrmattimation It's damn welcome, but I feel too little, too late.
-
@adiwan We’ve had states IN THE US that have been majority mail-in voting for YEARS before Covid. It’s just that they were all Republican states like Utah and Arizona. Wasn’t a problem before. Now that everyone else is doing it suddenly it’s an “invitation” for voter fraud. BS.

@clacke After the Oracle acquisition of InnoDB MySQL started a Falcon project to make a storage engine better than MyISAM independently from Oracle.
The project was scrubbed the moment Oracle acquired Sun. -
@clacke InnoDB has been bundled with MySQL ever since the Oracle acquisition of MySQL, since version 5.5.
And MariaDB has always used InnoDB by default (XtraDB until MariaDB 10.2 to be exact). -
@lnxw48a1 That's easy to explain: nginx is a much better choice for a reverse proxy than the above-mentioned :-).

@scribus I'm a mostly hygienic reasonable person and already practiced most basic things like keeping distance and washing regularly my hands (going outside, coming home, before a meal...) and being highly aware of not touching the face upon touching others (shaking hands for example). Seeing others doing the same thing on a loosened quarantine is almost impossible. Whenever seeing public rest rooms somewhere else or at work... You lose faith. In my opinion it'll spread even faster because the mass of infected people is higher than at the beginning. 3 months in a tight lockdown would solve this problem, however most people gave up after a few weeks.

@roka @mangeurdenuage Not necessarily. Something this romantic may just have spread quickly across Europe.
This stuff's in high demand. -
@mangeurdenuage @roka In English the expression is "my other half", in Russian – "моя половинка".
There is a non-poetic word for a spouse, which is "spouse" %). -
