Yes. Just to note, I was referring to the PC version, I don't know how much of a difference that makes.

Yes. The whole point is to convey details of an area you never lived in, of an actual place you never visited. I'd make the same argument for Half-Life Alyx or BioHazard, the visceral reaction you get from a highly detailed and texture

On graphics: there is a threshold where realistic graphics make the difference. Not all games need to be that, but Ghost of Tsushima in GBA Pokemon style is not the same game at all. And is it badly designed ? I also don't think so. Sa

To add to that, the roles also need to be identified. When some obscure thing breaks you either need to go on a quest to understand which are all the roles involved in fixing it, or send a much vaguer "let me do X and Y" request t

Yes, there's much more to sunlight than vitamin D so a more generic "almost the sun" source of light could be overall better. Even just for vitamins, many precursor are found related to light: https://arc.aiaa.org&

We're probably looking at a halo effect ? Similar to concept car demoed at trade shows, we get an idea of Disney's technical engagement, and some of it will perhaps in some way or form get applied into future products/attract

The paper covers a lot, some are administrating vitamin D as a prevention measure, most are on vitamin D deficient patients. e.g > Even in the small subgroup of subjects with a poorer vitamin D status (serum 25OHD < 20 ng/mL), no

Vitamin D supplements are controversial on their own. There is ample results on better health correlated with higher levels of Vitamin D, but the reverse is far more teneous: shoving in Vitamin D isn't guaranteed to be properly absorbe

Warning logs are usually polluted with stuff nobody wants to fix but try to wash their hands off with a log. Like deprecated calls or error logs that got demoted because it didn't matter in practice. Anything that has a measurable impa

Imagine you have a caching library that handles DB fallback. A cache that should be there but goes missing is arguably an issue. Should if throw an exception for that to let you know, or should it gracefully fallback so your service stays a

But what's the base of your metric ? I feel you're thinking about system wide downtime with everything timing out consistently, which would be detected by the generic database server vitals and basic logs. But what if the timeouts

Kobo is extremely region limited. It's fine if it fits your need, but will be far from a good alternative in most regions.

Having the action prominent and potentially with the default reversed would still leave it to the publisher's choice. We can understand why they do it this way (they only need the option to exist, and can afford to apply dark patterns
