Oh, don’t worry, open source (or, worse, Free Software) apps won’t be allowed on Android or Apple devices, soon. /s

I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone “just” wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.

I don’t think it’s a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a “median” corporation.

I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it’s just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren’t publicized any more than absolutely necessary.

Nien! Blockade must be impenetrable. Nien! Nien! Nien!

No one every sung, “Fuck the firemen!”

(But, point taken.)

I agree that John was the problem, but I think it was management responsibly to fix. Either through some coaching, as you say before he became business-critical.

It could happen that way. More often, the company can’t or won’t get them back.

It’s a “programmable semicolon” or “decorated-function composition”. I think most people that are confused about it, are trying to make it be more meaningful than it is. Haskell (?) just grabbed a math name so they’d have one word for it, because it’s a useful class name there.

I’m on Linux with an old AMD Pioneer (EDIT: AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition (radeonsi, vega10, ACO, DRM 3.61, 6.12.48+deb13-amd64)) video card, and I find the game playable, but just barely, and that’s after changing the Proton version to match the steamdb recommendations.

There’s some visual glitches and definitely low frame rates, but I’m through the second Axon and past the barrier.

Parrying is hard for me, but I just play on Story difficulty and still have fun.

In C maybe. In language that support proper recursion schemes, the apomorphism models the early-exit loop.

Java doesn’t allow goto, but specifically does have labels for labeled break/continue to support the multi-loop exiting case.

I imagine these two “structures” will always be implemented in C source through disciplined use of goto.

gcc can do tail-call optimization in C, and sometimes in C++. It doesn’t even have to be a recursive call, tho I do think it might depends on the calling convention.

I don’t know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu’s reaction to Vivian’s transition is a large part of his transphobia. I’m pretty sure he’d be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

I’d love to see it come back, but there’s been no production activity on it for years. I hear the books are good, but I haven’t read them myself.

I thought I wasn’t going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.

But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.

I know some are on Steam, but I’m on Linux and I don’t know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)

Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)

I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.

I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the “post-game” was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).

In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)

(I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)

R-Type Final – more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.

I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.

Not opinions, experience. But, yes, no industrialized country has a birth rate above replacement. The last time the U.S. was even at replacement at 2007, and that is an outlier. EDIT: That doesn’t mean such birth rates are impossible without coercion, just that we haven’t found the right enticements and political will to enact them.

I know 3 women that enthusiastically have/had 3 or 4 children. It’s possible when their community acts as a tribe, possibly through governmental support.

I was hoping to get some additions, thank you.
