Readit NewsHad flashbacks to playing Jupiter Landing on the C64!

Edit: SpaceX should create a simple 'catch' the rocket game. Play in browser style. Just for kicks and marketing.

Yes, and that is how things like VPNs, Tor, BitTorrent (but more broadly, P2P file sharing/downloading), Bitcoin (but more broadly, cryptocurrency/blockchain) and (more recently) Decentralized (aka "anti Big Tech censorship") Video/Content Sharing -- were all invented...
There isn't really any excuse for this.
It's hardly a performance car so perhaps it's not a big issue, but it really should not the there and should be fixed.
Unfortunately the youth is being lied and manipulated thinking the opposite. Its become a religion worshipping nature and politicians and the media is our days priesthood, promising salvation if we repent.
The most dangerous thing humanity can do is to not believe in the future. If you dont believe in tomorrow you wont invest into it. Its the principles of a death-cult.
It is so sad to see the youth wasting their years on pessimism when life is mostly positive even if you are not rich.
And now we see the new contender based on the same defaist attitude in the AI doomers using same speculative frameworks to claim the end of the world without a single thread of evidence
I agree that optimism is critical to keep moving forward. However I do disagree with your implication that young people believe that we cannot handle nature and the climate. The view I (anecdotally) encounter most is not the belief that we are incapable of handling it, but that we will refuse to handle it till it's too late.
All the big providers could do this, just inject a little turnstile like page in front of the next cloudflare site you visit.
I would love to know if there's a compromised device on my network, and I don't have any real monitoring set up to detect it.
It's not a full solution, but at least informing users there is a problem is a good start.
Line following, object avoidance, maze solving, all sorts of cool options.
A relatively cheap option would be the micro:bit [1] and a chassis [2]. The micro:bit can run CircuitPython [3] which is an simplified version of Python that can run on embedded systems.
This setup offers lots of room for growth from graphical programming, to circuitpython, and then on to C programming.

I actually made a similar thing based on writing your own autopilot for a Lunar Lander [1]. It's hard to make the difficulty increase linearly though. I like the use of different scenarios in this one.
We have yet to find another world that has the right combination of googly eyes and string and tape to sustain relatively stable complex life. We struggle to understand the far reaching effects that even simple changes have on our planets systems and ecosystems. We have evidence of the system throwing itself so far out of whack that huge portions of life have died off.
Its really just a proof of concept at this point, but it might be of interest to you (and others).

TLDR - I've been using Asciidoc a lot at work recently and was dissatisfied with it. This was an attempt at using Svelte to generate a document as a webpage that formats well when printed (or printed to PDF). All the power of HTML+CSS+JS when you want it, but the ease of use to just write markdown when you don't.
