Can you not see a difference between someone's imagination and a publicly posted image?

Town, outside, and dungeon represent decreasing levels of safety. In most games, players want a clear indication of how much danger they are in just walking around. Some games, like Dark Souls, do blur these lines. I think it would be easy to go overboard.

This strikes me as one of those things that sounds better on paper than in practice.

It's hard for me to see the advantage of using one of these over pen and paper:

- distraction free (except doodling)

- lower power consumption

- expressive in a way that typing can never be

- tends to discourage editing as you write

edit: and less eye strain

What's the advantage of standardizing through ISO/IEC? Better adoption in industry?

Seems like this would take away a lot of power from RISC-V International. But I don't know much about this process.

Credit where it’s due: doing live demos is hard. Yesterday didn’t feel staged—it looked like the classic “last-minute tweak, unexpected break.” Most builders have been there. I certainly have (I once spent 6 hours at a hackathon and broke the Flask server keying in a last minute change on the steps of the stage before going on).

Live demos are especially hard when you're selling snake oil.

Does some interesting things if you up the ball speed to 20. The boundary breaks down.

  data.blackBall.v = data.whiteBall.v = createVector(0, 20);

I was curious about the acceleration due to gravity at the surface:

    G * (120 Earth masses) / (radius of Jupiter ^ 2)

Comes out to 9.7 m/s. Not bad!

That sounds horrible. What are better resources?

Lisp In Small Pieces by Christian Queinnec

It takes a very thoughtful approach to introducing an increasingly complex Scheme implementation. I doesn't shy away from the complexity that many LISP implementation tutorials try to push under the rug.

No Emacs entry under editors, and no Clojure in the languages section? Somebody on the survey team had a bone to pick.

axblount · 6 months ago

They're in the write-ins for their respective categories. Emacs with 0.1%. Clojure with an impressive 0%!
