It’s something like that, but way beyond me so I couldn’t get something manually let-alone full bindings. I was making a polygon loader+text format for Raylib and didn’t even finish that somewhat due to it not being straightforward to properly implement/use (beyond what I had already that is, and that I’d probably need to make an editor too). And a big reason for wanting Godot is to create and animate polygons in-engine eye example with an editor so yeah I’d rather wait.

The truth about programming is that the language isn’t really that important

I have had the thought that many languages have bindings for Raylib, so that lowers the bar a lot.

Beyond that, I can see a lot of problems. I already could use Raylib and a few other types of frameworks/libraries (UI, webui, TUI, fantasy console, scripting, microcontroller stuff) potentially, so any other language has to allow more/better options than that. Particularly as I don’t really have ideas for those (with few-or-no tools) right now to start there.

Alternatively, it’s a dirty language, but PHP is supremely usable.

For your consideration, a moment of Master Shake to represent me (alternate 1, alternate 2)

Right off the bat no Godot 4 bindings at least that I’m seeing in search, so that problem persists.

I’m not quite sure on style but I want a jack-of-all-trades language (speed, ease, capability, options, platform options etc) and that’s a high bar. Nim seems like an outlier from everything I can see.

Actually no, some of the Haskell syntax stuff I’m seeing it making me mad.

I’m like that because:

• I need a hobby
• weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
• now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it’s just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
• Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
• personal issues

*=Nim

Just to add, I would argue that by definition of prefixes it is 1000.

However there are other terms to use, in this case Kibibyte (kilo binary byte, KiB instead of just KB) that way you are being clear on what you actually mean (particularly a big difference with modern storage/file sizes)

EDIT: Of course the link in the post goes over this, I admit my brain initially glossed over that and I thought it was a question thread

It seems to me that atlas orthogonal adjustment is more of a real thing offered than just getting your neck twisted, then again as someone who probably needs that (I had whiplash many years ago) I have no idea if the places near me have the equipment for it (or x-ray stuff needed) so that along with paperwork/scheduling has stopped me.

I don’t like the color noise, so yeah it’s fine with me.

Many library-goers are worried about ice on the sidewalk to the front entrance due to the extremely cold temperature. A guy pouring his lukewarm coffee on the ground hopes he can help.

I can’t go very fast even on my (small/cheap) ebike and have definitely noticed (even with not-the-best-eyesight) plants/animals, flooding, nearby infrastructure/locations, smells etc. on the trail. I wouldn’t say 15kmh is “barreling” and is my average comfortable speed. Slowing down or stopping to walking around a bit is also incredibly easy (and a thing already you stop to rest/drink/eat anyways), but you can still make up for lost time if needed.

In the context of a show, I could see a lot of angles to this. From somebody remembering something they briefly saw to 1 person in a group investigating something (staying behind, rushing ahead, taking a sample etc), also successfully evading chases and camp-y rock ambushes.

Personally I’d also say that biking long distances just seems easier than walking/hiking. Maybe mechanical advantage (esp. w/derailleur) or the speed, maybe health issues, or maybe there’s just something about the feel of it that’s boring/taxing to me. I can’t imagine walking 20 km but is something I’ve done a few times on my weak ebike.

it gives suicidal folks a purpose.

Does it though?

I think that assumes: 0. They are \ at the right time 1. They know the viable solution 2. They are capable of enacting said solution 3. It’s really just that simple, a real “if everyone carries a bucket” problem not a “faster than we can fix it” problem

Now sure, sometimes it will work out that way especially for the people who have training/experience. Not so much for people who struggle to get out of bed in the morning now, particularly when they may have multiple factors that contribute to that.

Also governments will probably last far longer than anyone expects, and broken political systems will probably just keep going as always or even devolve rather than get reformed to be functional (as for self-governing, probably not guaranteed either).

For the cult part, on one hand probably yeah because cults prey on vulnerable people.
But also the religious/psuedoscience aspect(s) might prevent some people from being interested and without that it’d likely veer more towards being classified as a gang/criminal-org. So it probably won’t be dramatic.

I would say it could be more like a tribe or something similar, but with communities eroded away as they are now I doubt that will work out on a meaningful scale. From the difficulty of being able to provide food and housing (and that’s now, before things get really bad) to people who might not be able to “pull their weight” or just general distrust of people on top of other issues like location and transportation.

Any half-decent option will probably spring up organically from people who have some connection already. I’m sure there are plenty of people now who don’t have much of anything tying them down but there is neither a destination nor a community or means to get to one. With no information/contact, nothing about that will probably change especially when you think about actual chances things will work out as desired.

Preventable deaths will likely be the more dramatic rise, especially related to heat and natural disasters.

Nim-lang. some code that I actually wrote using Raylib bindings (Naylib) (+what it’s loading)

I’ve asked about this on the Fediverse once already and didn’t get any responses.

Also note that bindings for Godot 4.X (or some other not-superheavy Linux-compatible engine that has an editor especially) are a big part of what I want, so some specifics that may work on paper otherwise might not fit the bill either. Also because polygonal art (meme made with 3.X, 4.0 eye animation, not-yet-in-4.X test of someone elses’ PR)

I was thinking similar, though I’m also still on X with nVidia and XFCE and am in a weird way* with programming.

I have my own custom XFWM theme that is really minimal (12px title with 8px tall buttons with some being wider to compensate, somewhat outdated example) and I’d like to expand upon it (floating titles, inset window buttons, dynamic button width, media integration) but I’ve looked at examples and don’t understand enough to even get just a rectangle for a titlebar (though X I assume for something basic, X would probably still be the easiest).

*= the only language that I’m interested in (due to it being easy in a style I like while still having performance/capability/flexibility etc) is not popular, and worse is I have lost a bit of hope/confidence in its future (as well as its bus factor reducing further because the person who made the package manager+installer and a book walked away) so I still haven’t really done much with it.

Also religious in the deep south AND a pastor. He must’ve been seeing Green-Goblin hallucinations but with Kenneth Copeland instead of Willem Dafoe.

I assume you think it’s FPtP rules but in this case an absolute majority (more than half) is needed, unless I’m missing something new? So more people running likely means less chance of a speaker being picked (and thus even more voting attempts).

EDIT: Or do you mean that the secret ballot is plurality and that every republican will honor that result (even if they dislike who won) thus giving that pick the majority on the floor vote?

Is the secret ballot how McCarthy won after 15 rounds of voting? Or are they going to work out a different deal now?

Oh yea I know it, had it worded as ‘company megacity’ at one point but didn’t want to sound anti-city.

That and even if they don’t own the city, it can be a detriment especially looking at new technological ways they could control workers even without physical isolation. And I’m sure they could use this power to exploit a greater number of people, too.

Soft plug for Cyberpunk 2077 and Blade Runner if you want to see how that happens.

Except reality would be far more soul-crushing, most people wouldn’t have autonomy or success that make for interesting stories. Most people would just have the choice to live in a company office, die to corporate police, or become cyberhomeless.

My first thought is that it still requires them to follow up on catching spammers (similar to the paid checkmark, this as a “solution” makes me think they won’t do that).

I could see spammers deciding “hey, I’ll make more than $1 before I’m caught” and do something with payment to hide their tracks (maybe a simple thing that should be known), meanwhile normal users say “Eh, I gotta pay? No thanks.”

If it served no purpose then it wouldn’t be done. Companies don’t throw resources around for no reason

I’m guessing the point is that it’s diminishing returns and maybe a solution looking for a problem. Like how companies often spend a bunch of money/resources on special effects just for the spectacle of it. Just because they spent all that money doesn’t mean it is worthy of doing so in the first place.

Their point on sales is similar, it’s not that they’re selling something but that they’re selling something that people don’t need. Like fast fashion, it’s manipulation and the only purpose is money. You can look good without following a trend, and looking good (or status) should not be the only point of purchasing something anyway.

So far I got

unrealistic idea that has lots of currently unsolvable logistical problems and the only currently working part would be a gamble that I can’t even get

and

unrealistic idea that could be attainable, but not for me in our current society… or if it could work, not within my reach and no way for me to know that it’d be viable
