I thought about such a solution for teaching recently, so I'll try it for the next class :D

I don't mind live coding for students, but it often diverges a bit, I'd rather stick to what's on the repo I prepared with atomic commits.

Amazingly so Stephane Mifsud's 11:35 "regular air" WR apnea was set in 2009 and has stood since (at least as far as AIDA is concerned). There was a lot of speculation online back then as it is an extraordinary time and was quite high compared to the previous record. If I recall correctly the hold was performed at his home pool, and he has a lung capacity almost double the average adult male's.

This is a video of the end of Mifsud's 11:35 breath hold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHPGKb7ipgc . The protocol after the hold is that you have to take off your goggles/mask and noseclip, look at the judges and do a clear hand signal that you're ok. Your chin/face should not touch the water before you get a reply from the judges, in the form of a card. It's nothing short of amazing how clearly he follows protocol given that his brain has been oxygen deprived for more than 11 minutes.

We train for surface protocol to become automatic, so even depraved of oxygen, it becomes a reflex. It does a big difference, you'd be surprised to see how many ppl blackout when surfacing because they exhale too much first :/

Regarding Mifsud, he had a YouTube channel, in French, which is full of information about freediving ! He worked a lot with scientists to understand how his body work and how to reach this world record. Also he confessed that he does not have spams when holding breath, so it helps a bit.

Free diving wouldn't be mainstream conscientiousness if it wasn't for possibly one of the greatest movies of all time

Although you need to watch the non US version for the real ending and good soundtrack !

It's so crazy that this is even possible. A lot of our old assumptions about the limits of human performance are being rewritten.

surmoi · 4 months ago

The whole history of freediving is an excellent example. E.g Scientists were telling freedivers to not go under 100m, or their lungs would implode under the pressure. They did it anyway and discovered that our body has a way to protect against this, called blood shift!

I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to scientists though ;)

Exodus Privacy will let you know about this kind of Android apps you should avoid installing https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/

Swiggy is actually a small player in terms of permissions requested, with 'only' 47 Compare it to Weibo with 104, Wechat with 93, Facebook with 85, Snapchat with 71 (granted those apps may offer additional services that require some additional permissions, but they are definitely not worth giving them all your data...)

If you want to go further on minimal design check out Olauncher

https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher

Available on both fdroid and play store

surmoi · 2 years ago

Running it for a few years. Very good! Helps you focus on what matters, easy to tweak and fork. Replacing the default OnePlus launcher make me gain a bit more performance as well, especially switching accounts on the phone! Plus I suspect some battery as well.

Any godot programmers here. How is godot's support of games in the browser?

4 years ago I was deciding on a game engine to use. I considered it to unreal, Unity, and godot. I want to be able to build games that can be played on the web. I have many fond memories of the Flash game days. Distributing games over the web allows me to share games with people without the friction of installers, or App Store gate keepers, which I think is super cool. At the time, only Unity supported web. I decided to go full in on Unity.

surmoi · 3 years ago

The binaries produced just for the engine itself (so exluding the game code and assets) is already several MB large when compressed with brotly or gzip [1]. So it works, but it's too large to be competitive enough on web games portals. Most players will just go play another game if it takes too long to load (download). Only JS based game engines and to some extend Defold are good enough in this regard.

They have, but they listed them only in the Others and Linux tab for some reasons 2a0f:fc80:: 2a0f:fc81::

dmak · 3 years ago

For someone going from web dev to game dev, would it be better to learn MelonJS or another JS Engine or something like Unity?

surmoi · 3 years ago

Depends for which platforms you want to create game for. If it's for web games, you should stick to JS game engines, such as babylonjs Engines like Unity produces binaries that are too big to be competitive for that market.
