The Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources
A few minutes ago I learned of a marvellous project to create the Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources (DMNES). This is under development, although a lot now exists, but a blog is available, and is itself a rather wonderful thing:
The dictionary aims to contain all given (fore, Christian) names...
I'm transferring some earlier materials from twitter to this platform. Here's Linda Zagzebski's amazing story at last year's Rutgers Workshop on Chinese Philosophy (virtue epistemology). It highlights the intimate body/mind connection. When she was in Dublin several weeks before the workshop, she went to the Chester Beatty Museum that has a huge collection of Asian manuscripts and paintings. The rest of this thread is a slightly edited quote from her comment of a paper on Xunzi and Aristotle. 1/
"Through meditation he was able to slow his heart rate to almost nothing and stop his breathing so that he would have complete control of his hand since even a heartbeat could cause his hand to move imperceptibly. In that state he was close to clinically dead. The docent held up a magnifying glass with 40x magnification so that we could take turns looking at it. I cannot read Chinese characters, but I could see that they were there. The docent said people have examined it under a microscope, 4/
"and the characters are perfect. There are no mistakes. After carving it, Chen Zhongsen filled in the carved characters with ink, which means he had to do the whole thing a second time. He has also carved the Tao Te Ching and other major works in their entirety on small stones. He has written two Tang dynasty poems on a single strand of his wife’s hair.

I agree, We do have the Information and Discussion thread pinned, so probably put the matches as comments, but they will be rendered slightly different than normal comments. But if @HyperCube is fine with it he can post the matches in there for the time being.

@jahed It's one of, if not the, biggest industries in entertainment. I don't think it'll slow down any time soon. People need to start advocating financially for better games.
@rodhlann I know, but I think we have tons of great games released and scheduled already. Just a shame most of them will get overlooked simply because there's too much. The boom is really sky rocketing this year, likely due to the COVID backlog.
That’s true. I’m unemployed, I’d probably take a job working for him. Doubt it would last long because I have a dumb mouth that can’t stay shut when it should
my first email address had a MULTICS and a MAILNET and an ARPA in it, and a couple of % signs sprinkled around for maximum confusion, and it took a number of years of hard work and mailer science to simplify that into a .edu address that you would recognize today.
