Similarly, when I played UT'99 (by the definition it was ages ago ;-)), I loved playing against stronger players. Yeah, losing a lot, but also getting better, decreasing the gap, learning new things, and at some point being able to win

Accidentally yesterday I watched 'Miss Hokusai' about a daughter of the artist - she was a painter herself. The (animated) movie can be seen as a series of episodes, with the relations between Katsushika Ōi and her father being on

What are BC features that you find to be so great? I'm genuinely curious - I heard of lot of BC being 'the tool' for diffing. I'm used to Meld, but my current employee has a pretty strict policy which tools could be used

Zeni Geva is such a great band! Maybe you have already seen it, but I've always loved this live cover of 'Model' Kraftwerk by Zeni Geva & Albini - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8R7c7XYmI4 .

Approached Uzeda a few times (I'm much into noise-rock-and-all-the-friendly-neighbourhood) but it didn't click. On the other hand https://bellini.bandcamp.com/album/the-precious-prize-of-gra... (which consist

Well, from the PoV of someone who tries to learn how to play the guitar I must say that all this AI frenzy managed to produce some useful tools ;-) I checked https://lamucal.ai/ with some example MP3: - lyrics are OK (altho

My first reaction was that I would pronounce 'ę' in both 'część' and 'język' in the same way, i.e. without 'n'. But I can see that pronunciation of these words as per https://en.wiktionary.

'grzmot' has just one syllable, right ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grzmot ). So yes, you can't stress the penultimate one, as it isn't there. ;-) I think 'Jóźwiak' would be syllabified a

One exception would be words loaned from Greek, like 'matematyka' or 'fizyka'. But I think they are being 'assimilated' so one can say that they do not count anyway. Polish has also a fairly rich system of pref

I would not be so optimistic to say 99%, but I think a lot of things like that could be actually assigned to some rules that are, well, actually applied pretty consistently. E.g. isn't devoicing of 'w' in 'wszystko'

Every time I search on my wife's iPhone for some specific application in the App Store the first result is an add for a competitor's app. How is that 'expected'?

As this specific review is from Phoronix - do you have some proof that their reviews are (heavily) biased? I'm looking at reviews in more details only when I want to buy something, other than that I skip them or just have a quick look.

I've spent probably close to a decade using Gerrit with various sized teams, and in the past few months I had an opportunity to work with Gitlab (so the MR/PR model). I've found that I definitely prefer Gerrit (and this feeli

You can have a look at https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php and its reviews section. This is a good site in general (there are others) if you are interested in audio reproduction topics and reviews that a

I remember reading about the development of Baldur's Gate II - around 2000 I suppose, a rather big game, especially for its times - and they supposedly tracked all bugs using some kind of physical board and paper notes. I'm not su

Which of the boards in Pinball FX3 you think are not overloaded? Triggered by my recent visit in some pinball 'museum' (me and my family spent like 3 hours playing on various tables) I did a quick research about available pinball

Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies were my favourite pinballs games on Amiga (and then Psycho Pinball on PC). I know that nowadays e.g. Pinball FX3 provides so many bells and whistles and boards... but I often find all these boards to be

For anyone interested in this topic there is an ongoing (I think) project that goes into much more details - https://crpgbook.wordpress.com/ . I play little computer games nowadays, and cRPGs even less. Nevertheless some of

Well, it is definitely true that BGG UI feels dated and disjointed, and if Board Game Atlas triggered some reaction on BGG side then great. I don't find BGA UI that much better. Cleaner, more 'modern' - yeah... which includes

This is I think primarily related to transaction boundaries and tracking changes. You can read https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/unitOfWork.html as a starting reference. I haven't heard this phrase much late

I remember that long time ago I thought that using Google account to authenticate in other services is nice because, hey, I don't need to remember some many passwords. Luckily after so time I decided that it may not be such a good idea

This is exactly the way the current Goodreads rating is supposed to work (and I'm personally OK with it). But my guesstimate is that for 95% Goodreads users everything below 4 stars means that the book sucks.

My bad, should check contributions. Probably when I was playing with GemRB Avenger was very active in the project, including their forum. But yeah, now I remember Balrog and lynx as well..

Ahh, memories... I remember finishing Baldur's Gate 2, then buying Baldur's Gate 1 and then spending a better part of holidays writing a Java app to convert BG1 data so it can be run on the BG2 engine. I was able to go from the st

Thanks as well! I have extremely awesome memories of playing Liero 1.33 and then Liero with ProMode like... 20 years ago? And ProMode was possible due to the tools your have created. I even fooled around a bit in Polish forums and IRC chann

'Pro-grade' like something desired for people working with image/video? Not really IMO. On the other hand both Eizo and NEC have usually good entry-level models as well. They won't have all the bells-and-whistles though

Isn't a panel just a (not-so-big) part of quality? I think for professional monitors (Eizo and NEC comes to my mind) there is a lots of electronics that provides consistency and wide-range adjustments.

Does Sourcegraph makes sense for smaller companies/companies with relatively fairly small codebase? As I'm working with 'not that big' projects that are primarily Java/Javascript/Typescript based it seems to m

"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead." I definitely agree with BoorishBears - too much unnecessary details in this commit message. Of course it is much more preferable than "Fix temp

I found a small inconvenience of maintaining ChangeId (usually handled automatically by the git hook) a very small price to pay for all great features provided by Gerrit. I know that Gerrit team investigated few times a better way to attach
