I need to admit, I have a lot of respect for someone that can keep a project going for so long. I assume there are contributors, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a one-person lead. People who also tend to have other side projec

EtherApe? https://etherape.sourceforge.io I remember using that as well many years ago. Fun times.

Amazingly, three hours after your post, this hacker news comment is now showing up in the top 5 for the Google query. Wow.

When I was teaching last time in China, all classrooms in the university I was a guest at had cameras installed in the back, facing the lecturer. The last time I was there, only some had them. What are these for, I asked my host, wondering

Reminded me a bit of the much older https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/ : a multi-agent programmable modeling environment. It also uses a multi-turtle based approach for many of its examples.

Like, playable and all? Very unlikely. It's not going to be fast enough and R is not typically the language you'd use for games. But to e.g. import a Minecraft world and render it with the rayshader package? That might actually be

Hopefully we'll come to a point soon where AI and deep learning can help out in this space. I remember models being trained that could predict the country based on a street view photo with a high degree of accuracy, which would be a go

I wish these games would still have that effect on me. I mean, I can totally see it happening back when I was 20-25 years old. When I try to start factorio, df, rimworld today, I can see the systems, I can feel the ocd style appeal and feed

It is, e.g. I think tools like MagicaVoxel can construct a voxel object based on a stack of sprites, as you describe. However, not every engine supports 3d models / voxels, so sprite stacking is commonly used in combination with engine

My initial reaction as well: "What a way to draw out something simple across page of prose." (1) Numbers in Chinese match well with the tonality of the language making it easier to remember (compare: "singing" numbers in

And its user interface is quite unlike anything else you've worked with :). I've done a lot of work with CPN tools in the past. Sadly, the tool has not been updated since a long while, especially after its main contributer (Michae

It might be. I never had an issue with this on my previous OnePlus phone (which at least at the time was pretty close to stock Android), but I was stumped to see that the Google Clock alarm was not going off multiple nights (seemingly at ra

Pidgin had this too for clients which supported it. It even warned you by displaying: "You feel a disturbance in the force." Good times.

Yet again another barcode / QR proposal. Can't speak for the Americas, but here in Europe QR codes aren't used that much, I feel, except maybe for mobile payments. Compare this with China, where QR codes are in literally ever

Agreed. I didn't want to infer that any porn leads to child porn (that would be ridiculous), but about oversight, which Tumblr lacks.

by Macuyiko 8y ago
Can't say I'm surprised. Tumblr has been so full of (non child) pornographic and outright weird material that it was due to attract this sort of folk as well. It really detracts from the platform for the rest of us, who just want

Indeed. Or they would just pass by the app developer to have a tea and 'request' a backdoor. All these armchair technical solutions are nice to conjure up, but at the end of the day it's not the technical aspect which is the

Very nice. Does this also solve the original drawback of IF of not being able to handle categorical values? You could create dummy vars but this would lead to somewhat biased results using the standard orthogonal splits. Would EIF work bett

I was going to say: this "moment" on HN might increase the sales more than all of previous efforts did. Today, the market is so saturated that even if you have the funds and interest (as a player / fan of genre), there is no
