I thought exactly the same! Also, I'm not sure why, but LinkedIn is showing all of our pages with the wrong image. If someone is smart enough to figure it out please let me know. Get any blog-post from the godotengine.org site and paste it in linkedin and you'll see how the image that gets pulled is the auther of the post instead of the thumbnail of the article. I wasn't able to figure it out.
Your og:image meta tag is pointing to a .webp image, which I expect many services don't support as the OpenGraph image. It's probably falling back to the author photo because that's the first PNG or JPEG image on the page.
The Sims soundtrack is an iconic piece of video game music, and the build mode's minimalist new age jazz piano songs are undoubtedly among it's most famous tracks. We spoke to Jerry Martin, the composer of the soundtrack, to find out how and why new age jazz piano became the sound of The Sims.
Check out Jerry Martin's website to download mp3s of the build tracks, piano sheet music, and even original songs at:
I’m not the only one! In addition to the base game I also have the tracks for the expansions as well. My programming playlist also has Sim City 4 and Streets of Sim City on it too.
I also like to listen to SimCopter’s soundtrack on YouTube from time to time. While I like listening to high fidelity audio in my main playlist, hearing the intense compression artifacts and the in-game advertisements makes me feel so nostalgic.
TL;DW: No-fly zones, costs, and drones not being intelligent enough to detect where they are going to drop off packages. It is cheaper and easier to do the last mile via traditional methods than dealing with all the risks and limitations of flying.
I am in the same situation at the moment and it is a bit sad. I've been trying to do more "solo" work because I'm the only constant in my musical journey. I envy bands that last for a long time because they can make it work, but I had to travel a lot and it made it impossible to have a band that would endure even the smallest of hiatus.
At the same time, every time I am with musicians that "made it" only talk about how miserable is to tour and how horrible it is to be constantly doing music for a living, so I feel lucky to make money out of software development. But I guess the stupid teenage dream still lives somewhere in me.
I've been in bands that have played hundreds of gigs together, and I've traveled a bit to make music. Fortunately, I have never -had- to do that. It's not fun, it doesn't pay well (compared to my software work), and the big payoffs all seem to be about the short term validation of larger audiences and better production.
To be fair, that has a lot of appeal.
I've also gotten a lot out of bands that are just like, "guys night out for bowling". Way more than the long term commercially functioning bands, actually.
We just meet up and play every week (when we can), usually in the early evening or after my buddys' kiddos have gone to bed.
Once I leaned into the idea that these friendships were important both for me (as an old, single almost-pro musician) and my buddies (who have careers and wives and youngsters), the idea that simply playing (and practicing to support my friends) became really rewarding as an end in itself.
That appreciation really changes the dynamics, because I select more for how I get along with the people than I do for chops or genera.
The dream of taking that kind of band out isn't stupid or immature, nor is the dream of just having to play music for a living.
I have found that it's just so much easier and just as much fun to do "bowling night" at someone's house, and so much easier to make my money doing software.
I don't think there is anything sad in that situation.
Hey, I'm curious to know what are some of those "weird opinions at a maintainer level". I would love to know more about your experience using it at such scale.
I post all tweets myself. If I had a bot capable of doing that and also post all the comments I have posted here over the years, I'd take over the world.
Untrue, a significant amount, perhaps even most of it, is exported to China to feed pigs. 73% of Brazilian soybean exports go to China, I wasn't able to find figures on domestic vs export consumption with a cursory search.
Doesn't really undermine your point, except that if you want to save Brazilian rainforest by reducing meat consumption, you'll need to take it up with the Chinese.
