I also think asking for some of those things is absurd and intrusive. I would feel a little (*not deathly) uncomfortable baring my soul like that to some anonymous Discord admins. I'd like to know what others feel/why this is a downvoteable comment.

This is one of the many problems Guix solves on a slightly lower level than most package managers, because binaries live inside Guix packages (/usr/bin is simply populated by absolute symlinks). Of course package managers also do this, but Guix kind of lets you symlink to a (unique) package, rather than `install`.

There's not much more to do than create a quicker remote wrapper. The Git flow here is 2+1 steps: add another remote, push to that remote (+1 is to create the remote). It would be cool to see it built into a Git plugin or wrapper!

I watched through most of the interesting MGS3 codec scenes in Japanese (after playing it in English years ago). It had an absurdly great script in both languages (perhaps better Japanese VAs). I'm a bit biased towards it though because it's one of the best games ever made IMO.

MGS was certainly memorable, moreso than MGS2 or MGS4 (lmao) for me.

The other day I tweeted with one of the localisers behind Half Minute Hero / 勇者30 , a silly RPG-esque game. They did this with one of the stages: it was a sepia level, harkening back to the NES (and slightly before) era. In Japanese, the bad guy spoke in spaced katakana, like the old Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Pokemon games. The reference was immediately understandable and cute.

You can easily do the same in English by using ALL CAPS, AND SILLY PHRASING WITH LOTS OF PUNCTUATION!!! In my opinion (native English, but not alive in the NES era), that would work great. But they didn't: they instead replaced all his dialog with various lines from the classic "all your base" meme/translation. It's a departure from the original - still works well, still funny, though in a different way.

Different translators think differently. I love seeing how that impacts things. (Also shoutouts to Square Enix's localisation team, they are usually INCREDIBLE. I have even more love for Crisis Core after playing it in Japanese.)

I love Jeremy, I've followed him for a while on Twitter. He comes across as self-confident and prideful of his work, which is great and perfect for a good translator (which he certainly is). Shame Kojima didn't agree at the time, I imagine he's a very proud person as well.

I love audiobooks (and anything media that comes with audio too) for learning languages. Inflection and hearing what's written is hugely beneficial to understanding, and it's much more memorable for me.

Exactly, built-in delegation and impersation features solve this. AWS IAM and Kubernetes have great implementations. Hopefully we get some more standards like OAuth so people talk about this stuff more.

A nice setup is something I'm really, really looking forward to once my student life is over. So I can't upvote this, viewing it makes me too sad :'(

Many recent GitHub features have been ports from GitLab: WIP pull requests, suggested issues. I'd reverse the question and ask what GitHub is offering that GitLab isn't (except the community usage). (And yeah, I guess I'm a GitLab fanboy...)

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Trying to make the switch to Guix from Arch Linux but my hardware is hopelessly unsupported. There's a guix-nonfree repo out there but I couldn't get wrap my head around the config (new to Scheme). Guix looks really, really cool.

I have high respect for you. As for myself, I'll play the student card and bow out, haha :)

Where are my Rockbox users at? My tiny plastic Sansa Clip+ MP3 player has been going for years, I'd be nothing without it. >10hrs playback, supports >128 GB microSD, plays OGG/FLAC/MP3/AAC/anything. The Rockbox firmware is still being developed, albeit at a slow pace.

By far the best combination of hardware+firmware I own. Unlikely to replace it for another few years. Sadly not produced any more :(

Somehow I found this the other day when searching for a new laptop. 2 models, identical, one with Windows 10 pre-installed and one FreeDOS (of all OSes!). 100€ cheaper. Perhaps not to everyone, but that's a worthwhile difference to me as a non-Windows user.

"UK agent for Gator said that they didn’t have the money for security, as otherwise they couldn’t afford a staff Xmas party"

I love this.
