Not the author, but working through it and having read compiler books in the past... I is very practical vs theoretical, very hands on, and willing to engage with sticky problems rather than glossing over them. The language it implements fe

Awesome! I just started working through this too.

ARGs for promoting nothing seem to be on the rise (I don't have links to back that up though.)

GG is a good SC-alike and Annihilation is Annihilation. Both bring a lot to the table. Ashes just never ran properly so I gave up on it.

Gray Goo was really really good but pretty much fizzled. Nobody has brought that kind of budget in since. Westwood[esc]cwPetroglyph subsequently made some very fun "8bit" styled RTSs with a more CnC flavor. We also just got a CnC&

A hard counter in RTS parlance is a unit or tactic that will win a fight even even if they are grossly outnumbered. A classic example would be a ground unit that cannot hit air units. Any number of those ground units will die to a single ai

I think that this has lead to the popularity of ARG/Analog Horror/SCP/etc. The Unknown is shrinking, so we need to create the Unknowable.

Radial symmetry is the term usually used for animals, yeah. It's just nuts that they switch body plans so radically.

> I would often write huge refactorings thinking that they would be a solution to a borrow checker error, just to get another one at the end of the refactoring. That sums up my experience nicely. And I didn't even try to implement m

We have even numbered legs because we all descended from a bilaterally symmetrical common ancestor and apparently bilateral symmetry is really good for building mobile animals of all descriptions. What's really wild is how Starfish man

Solaris is worth a read for sure.

Is this why I can't focus my eye on a blue LED while focusing on the surrounding area?

That would have the same effect, but is slightly nicer.

The universe could still be a dark forest of AIs ready to smash each other as soon as they spot each other.

FSF and SFC and OSI if you're listening, this would be very nice.

Anyone know what the story is for running non-steam games on this? I'm thinking 2000s win32 keyboard-and-mouse games, or even MacOS9 emulation.

Almost all "consent" to these types of "services" is obtained via people blindly tapping buttons to make annoyances go away.

Funny, I just went on a tour of the Markley data center in Boston. My guess is that it's because they take security very seriously, the attack surface for compromising the data center infrastructure itself (vs the corporate servers in

I would have assumed they'd just grab a bsd shell, but maybe bsd distros use zsh now, I'm way out of the loop there.

On the contrary, the terminal is experiencing something of a renewal with people suddenly caring enough to try ZSH to the point where MacOS is now pushing it, Fish getting traction, and there was a new BASH release in '19.

Yes, check the homepage. The blog post is excellent bait though, bravo.

I wouldn't call the effectiveness unreasonable. I would instead say that incorporating something into your routine is the most reliable way to make sure it gets done.

For something like art history though, is that really so bad? Isn't the mission of history to keep history alive generation after generation?

That checkout had just enough friction that I didn't purchase anything.
