Star Fox Zero. Sure, the story was a repeat of old game, but the gameplay was not. The controls needed more polish, but ultimately I thought the gameplay was great. I actually didn’t mind the motion controls. Most of what people complained about didn’t bother me or felt overblown.

This is how I feel about it. I remember loving it when it was first airing. I did a rewatch a couple years back and couldn’t stand it. Can’t say I like a single character outside of Andy.

Correct me if this is naive, but wouldn’t this potentially also reduce the diversity of the gene pool?

In vim you can make some changes to a file, close vim, and then reopen the files, and then undo your changes, i.e. your undo history persists across sessions.

I use helix part-time but am forced to go back to neovim a majority of the time for a few reasons:

1. no persistent undo
2. no ctags and cscope (some C/C++ projects don’t work well with clangd)
3. niche plugins (e.g. I just found a neovim plugin that gives me a way to run ipynb files in-editor)

If 1 and 2 got fixed, I’d be a full time helix user

Depends on the nature of the project. Is it a pure software project or is it a physical device + platform? Is anything implemented yet?

Wow, I really don’t like the character redesigns. “StarFox characters… but in real life” seems a bit uninspired. I think the rest of the visuals look great though.

You can divide culture and grammar. It’s simple: your hypothetical long exchange can trchnically be expressed in the Japanese language at 1/5 the length and still retain grammatical correctness and meaning. i.e. the long exchange is not a result of the technical aspects of language, i.e. it has nothing to do with pronoun ommission. The cultural aspect of language is what makes the conversation long. And you’re making a huge assumption about the context of the exchange. Is it between two strangers? Family members? Sibling? Friends? A king and a peasant? Classmates? All of these situations would have exchanges with different lengths and grammar, but this arises from the culture. We do the same thing in English too. On average, an email between a boss and an employee will probably be longer and more formal than between two friends, no? Not as long as an equivalent email in Japanese, but the same trend exists in both languages is my point.

“Politness ping pong” has a lot less to do with the technical aspects of Japanese and more to co with cultural norms. i.e. it’s not a design flaw in the grammar.

Agree to disagree. I cook with EVOO all the time, and it does not taste bitter to me (and I regular cook with avocado oil, so I have a comparison point). It’s not “wasteful” if you buy a Costco sized bottle of their cheaper stuff. Yeah, don’t use your artisinal EVOO to fry something up. Kirkland brand EVOO is perfectly fine for frying and finishing, dressings, etc.

This is something that is repeated a lot, but it is simply not true. No, you shouldn’t use it for high heat cooking. However you can definitely sweat onions and do other low-mid temp cooking. If your oil doesn’t smoke when it hits the pan, then you’re fine. I cook with EVO every day.

Have you not seen “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”

Legitimately not sure you’re joking, so I’m just going to drop this in case you aren’t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple

Every “hot take” in this thread is a regurgitation of what r/cooking has been saying for the past decade

I prefer much oatmeal much less loose. I do a 1:3 ratio of oats to water and cook it in the rice cooker using the timer function so I can set it up the night before I eat it. The texture I get is much more “clumpy” than liquidy like this.

There are a lot of food containers with air-tight seals that would rectify that situation.

If you are talking about the Fennec browser (i.e. Firefox on android), this link is not pointing to that.

I like cooking stews, but it’s gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace.

Stews are one of the easiest things to bring to the workplace. Their quality doesn’t degrade when eaten as leftovers, and they reheat very well in the microwave. What makes you think this would be a hassle?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Americans (which is citing https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT1Y2022.B03001?q=B03001)

In 2022, Mexican Americans made up 11.2% of the US population and 58.9% of all Hispanic Americans.

In the US, yeah, you are more likely to speak to a Mexican than any other hispanic Spanish speaker.
