macOS shipped with emacs?

More like limp into the offseason. No one on this roster is healthy enough to leap anywhere.

Funny - that’s not what Hill said.

If anything I’d say Heaven’s Vault is the better of the two!

Sure, it’s way less polished and can be janky, but the language and the translation mechanics are so much deeper and more well-developed than anything in Chants of Sennaar.

The languages in Chants are tightly defined and very specific to what the game needed, so they’re not really usable outside of that context. But the language in HV is rich and complex, and you can actually learn to write new things in it.

I’ll give you one guess who

Or even the full name to narrow it down

Getting harder and harder for new games - even good ones - to find an audience.

I don’t think an abundance of releases is necessarily a bad thing, because more art is more art, but I also don’t know what a solution might look like to help prevent otherwise great games from vanishing into the masses immediately on release.

As always, the headline should be qualified with ‘… in the USA.’

Tintin the brave cub reporter — and his dog, Snowy — will enter the public domain in the U.S. well before they will in the European Union, where they are copyrighted until 2054. That's because EU copyright terms extend 70 years past creators' deaths, and Belgian cartoonist Hergé died in 1983.

Because it’s not just desktop search in the conventional sense, it parses and indexes EVERYTHING that is shown on screen regardless of app.

Normal desktop search is fine for ‘where is file X?’ or ‘which document contains Y?’ but the point of Recall is to be able to deal with far more wide reaching queries, like ‘what website did I order a cake from last week?’ or ‘where did I see a great idea for a pizza recently?’, where it can find sources for natural-language queries across anything that was shown onscreen, whether it was a website, an email, a slack message, or something within any other app.

Bad/misleading title. The article (actually just a regurgitation of a podcast interview) is about the design & layout differences between two specific cities: New Atlantis in Starfield and Diamond City in Fallout 4.

Basically just this one designer saying he didn’t like the design of New Atlantis compared to his own work.

True, but I wouldn’t call that conscious counting - you’re not literally counting out multiple simultaneous time signatures in your head, it’s done by feel.

This is a specific thing called misophonia
