For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@AC_assettocorsa Could you add an option to start at different points on the track in practice mode for both Rally and EVO? It would make it much easier to practice specific sections of a track.

Release 0.3 for Assetto Corsa Rally is OUT NOW!
For the first time ever, we’re finally delivering a fully laser scanned Monte-Carlo Rally to the sim racing community, including two stages, the Skoda Fabia RS Rally 2, the Lancia Fulvia Coupe HF and several game improvements

@astupple @cwarny @DavidDeutschOxf He is setting some expectations for parents. He is not questioning the importance of good parenting only saying how much you should and shouldn’t expect from it. Check George Carlin’s bit on “professional parents”.
English
He describes kids as automatons, the products of their genes and evolutionary conditioning of their brains, not of the reasons that kids create in their own minds.
And, parents are cast as irrelevant, as if they are incapable of teaching their kids particular good or bad reasons.
It's ironic on a few levels, first because he's persuading his audience with reasons, but telling them that they can't persuade children. Children are immune to reasons, but the good people in his audience are open to the them.
And second, he has quite an impressive flourish to his delivery, itself a result of his own creativity.
I also like the scientism. We know what drives your kids by studying the brain scientifically, we are CERTAIN.😂
English
Authoritatively denying the existence of creativity.

This hit harder than any parenting advice I've ever heard‼️‼️

@marcrandolph Liking and driving nice sports cars is very meaningful for a lot of people. Why can’t things that have high cost be meaningful? The enjoyment of expensive things doesn’t negate the enjoyment of things that don’t cost money.
The economy class seats are so bad today.

@TheOldCootBiker @Camp4 Your interest will soon become irrelevant.

As a Ferrari owner and member of SEFAC, the oldest Ferrari Club outside of Italy, I can tell you that there are none of us that are remotely interested in an electric future for the brand. The design means zero. Enzo is turning in his grave and Elkann and Vigna are twerking for Ursula von der Leyen and the EU green utopia. Ferrari owners want ICE race cars full stop.

Jony Ive’s firm designed the dash for Ferrari’s new electric car and it’s getting a lot of criticism.
As a CMO and brand geek, I can tell you why:
It’s good design… but for the wrong brand.
🏎️ When I drive a Ferrari, I want to feel like Lewis Hamilton, not a soccer mom.
Ferrari is unapologetically sexy and exclusive. It’s not an Apple Watch, it’s Richard Mille.
Here’s what I’d have done:
1) Modernize vintage analog gauges and tactile switches.
2) For the screen, borrow heavily from F1, with a simple UI that puts real-time data—not design—at the forefront. That would be unique and a nice nod to Ferrari’s racing heritage.
3) Be over-the-top bold with color exaggerate the geometry.
What a huge missed opportunity!
English
@Camp4 The only issue is that the screens are not integrated in the dashboard.

Some people are so insecure that they prefer to make you believe they lied rather than admit they made a mistake.

@airmainengineer They just need to desaturate the colours, add some haze, and introduce more randomness and imperfections, and the left will be almost indistinguishable from the right.

@dvassallo Hey Daniel, it is quite different. The coaches are directly invested in their coachees’ success, putting their own reputation and time on the line. And they are usually dedicated to one athlete/team at a time.

Patrick Mouratoglou coached Serena Williams to 10 grand slams. But if he was so good, why didn't he win all those grand slams himself instead?
Sometimes the "guru" cannot or doesn't want to do the things he or she is good at. Maybe they're old and they don't have the energy. Maybe they have 5 kids and don't have the time. Maybe it became boring and would rather help someone else do it. Maybe they're focused on a different project but teaching pays the bills.
So many reasons that are not a paradox.
Mouratoglou never won anything as a tennis player, yet coached others to 36 world titles. Where's the paradox?
Jon Yongfook@yongfook
The fundamental paradox of the "guru" is that if they were so good at building businesses, then they would be building businesses. Not selling you courses on how you can build businesses.

@romanhelmetguy Greeks?! It was the Ancient Macedonians. There was a Greek participation but mainly it was the Macedonians.

Largest empires that were conquered by numerically inferior civilizations:
1. Achaemenid Persia (~30M) by the Greeks (~3M)
2. Western Roman Empire (~15M) by the Goths (500k)
3. Sasanian Persia (~10M) by the Arabs (~2M)
4. Jin China (~50M) by the Mongols (~2M)

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.

@elonmusk If it was already a flawless drive for him what could you improve to have impact on his experience?

@paulg @fermatslibrary I have been thinking about this recently.
English
@fermatslibrary One of the most common flaws of math textbooks is that they present only the logic, without the intuition. They give you the later, cleaned up version of the idea, which hides the way it was discovered.

Imagine being a Turkish archaeologist and nationalist, and in every excavation you do across Turkey, you find Greek inscriptions and antiquities. There is no greater curse. They are forced to live with it.
