Any Americans working for these companies? https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

Guess i'm adding Sony Pictures America (as part of the MPAA) to the boycott list. Forgot about them since I thought they were Japanese.

And we've got NordVPN, Mozilla, Rakuten, and Samsung as part of the CCIA. So they're out too.

And then everyone in the CTA. https://members.cta.tech/cta-member-directory

And a masterpiece was made because of it

Tired inner gamer. The original AC got boring for me. Just lots of repetitive uncreative climbing to complete collections. They they came out with Uplay with AC2 and i keep going back to “is this game worth creating an account and giving up my personal information to play, when there are multiple other games available with a better value proposition for my time, money, and privacy?”

The answer (for ubisoft) is invariably no. So i’ve effectively been on an unintentional Ubisoft boycott since 2008 since i refuse to create an account.

Proton. Because i know how to read, and people had twisted the CEOs words completely beyond what was written. Reading ‘and’ comprehension folks. Try to build both skills.

A bit of an unusual suggestion, but i’ve replaced Excel with Python. I deal with large datasets anyway, so Python was arguably a better fit for what i do.

Packages to check out to see what is possible…

  • Streamlit = easy UIs, dashboards, and tables.
  • Pandas = dataframe handling, excel, csv ingestion
  • Numpy/Scipy = math
  • Sqlalchemy/pyodbc = DB connectivity
  • xlsxwriter = writing out to exls
  • DuckDB = in-memory joins/transformations locally between dataframes using SQL. Basically all the power of a relational DB without a DB server.
  • Plotly = graphing

Everything is in text files. Scripts are version controlled in git. Calcs happen super fast. I spend more time transferring data from DBs than waiting for the calcs to finish.

Hmm… the way i’ve taught it is biomechanical in nature.

I assume you are pressing the brakes using your toes. You’ll want to switch to using the middle of your foot. Specifically, plant your ankle up as close as possible to the brake pedal, and keep it planted there. To brake, you pivot on the ankle. This should give you more control to apply gradual pressure on the pedal.

Awesome. Planning to pick up Lumia as my first Atelier game. Played the demo on Steam Deck and was surprised how well it ran. Glad that it seems like a good place to start

After a few days of these, the format is growing on me.

In the words of the Liberal party... "If you don't know. Vote No!" So kindly f-off Mr Potato-head.
