That Shenmue MMO is a phenomenal effort. Who would have thought a hobbyist would launch Shenmue Online before Yu Suzuki :D

>and I hope Sega doesn't care too much either for a 27 year old video game. Amen. If they cared they wouldn't have kept us waiting 20 years for Shenmue 3.

I guess the difference is the folks on the 100 year ship won’t get any feedback that the tech leapfrogs have happened, whereas at least some of the software players have a chance to use their market knowledge to at least adapt. The marketin

Some countries have more complexity to registering a new company than others, and perhaps it’s the establishment of a new legal entity that is an unlocker to the free credits. I don’t know if that’s true of India or not, but I like to give

Quick question, did you use an LLM to help with this? (Not judging one way or another). The only reason I ask is that for the past couple of weeks I’ve been making a similar utility to test out the Sol model and it’s hilarious how similar t

It didn’t come off as dismissive to me. I was curious as well as to where such optimizing helps and knew that the answers to your question would help me discover use cases I didn’t think of

A CLI/Terminal file deduper. Moving a lot of files from old laptop to new, lots of duplicate videos in scattered directories with different file names. Point the CLI tool at a directory and up pops a ncurses application that scans from

Yeah if I need to I take both also. In addition I be sure to have a caffeinated drink also as caffeine has been shown to both speed the absorption and boost the efficacy (5-10%) of paracetemol over a multi hour period. https://pu

I wonder if the segmentation would work with a video of a ventriloquist and a dummy?

Feel like I have to defend windows phone here, I liked it! Although I swore off the platform after the hardware I bought wasn’t eligible for the windows phone 8 upgrade even though the hardware was less than two years old. They punished ear

I wish I could find the article, but there is a clinic somewhere that ran trials where they deliberately wouldn’t treat the cancer too aggressively. Instead they experimented with treatment frequency but with control being the aim instead o

Have you seen where he’s using it though? His GBA Mario 64 port is one of the most impressive homebrew projects I’ve seen in years.

People are always surprised at what can be unearthed if you cast a wide net and start pulling on threads, even if only to rule certain threads out early on. Nice work.

When I say "network" think less LinkedIn and more people you've built up enough trust with to swap phone numbers and keep each other informed of opportunities, provide references etc.

I am not a lawyer, so this is just personal experience, not advice. Networking is everything, most of my gigs have come from trusted contacts I worked with as an employee in a subsidiary (opened by a US company) in my own country. Startups

Agreed, when Sonic Mania came along I often heard “the first 2D Sonic game since 3+K” and thought that people were forgetting the advance series. You could tell they were crafted by a team that respected the feel of the games that came befo

Haven't yet completed it. In my opinion, although the originals had a clunky control scheme, it still had charm. Really bugs me how they moved the camera to an "over one shoulder" view rather than directly behind like in the

I wonder if it has anything to do with the default cutscene that plays on the start screen if you don’t progress. That cutscene would have been set in China as its Shenhua reciting the games central prophecy

Mortality rate doesn’t paint a full picture of the effect on Ireland. Emigration had a huge effect on the depopulation too. (I don’t think you deliberately left this out or anything just wanted to provide additional context). There were oth

Does the ceramic mug become a factor? As in adding milk first allows the milk to absorb heat that otherwise would have been stored in the mug too quickly and then radiate back into the liquid over time slowing its cooling curve. (I have no

This is amazing work considering the GBA doesn’t have anywhere near the same level of 3D Friendly hardware as an N64. Also think it’s a great demo of how techniques like an Entity Component System to really lean in on programming to stretch

Hopefully the results get replicated with a meaningfully sized cohort. If that happens then it provides an incentive for the creation of alternative exercises or devices to provide a similar effect.
