Eh, note how the public don't really know directors on producer-led films where the director is a hired hand, if they don't have a name already. Same on TV, where directors easily circulate each episode, and even famous ones disap

A film director has control over the source material and the result (hopefully has, at least). Whereas I'm not sure that there's a single person with such responsibility in game dev: afaik someone like a director or a PM overlooks

Personally I think that individual game designers were important when the whole game could be made by like ten or twenty people. Remember that in the seventies and early eighties, literally a couple guys could slap together a game and sell

No, you're right. Early on, the producers were considered the most important people of the film. In the early-mid 50s, French critics and filmmakers came up with the idea of ‘auterism’, saying that directors can do their own material h

Thanks! This is very illustrative, just like I wanted. (Was too lazy to search myself, of course.) As expected, it's pretty tight in there. I know that rural people of old were much more fit than I am, and I would get cramps in several

Regarding the tubs, afaik large barrels were sometimes used for bathing, though I'm not sure when and where. I'd guess these wouldn't stand out specifically as bathing implements. Although a barrel-with-a-seat would probably

As far as I understand, the narration is handled by the ‘voiceover’ feature, which is a generic accessibility feature, precisely the one that reads screen contents and controls. In the demo, Kristy taps the screen each time to invoke the vo

More to the point, squirting in porn is pretty much guaranteed to be urination, simply due to the volume and strength of ‘gushing’ involved.

I was concerned for New York for a bit, since choosing one person must be brutal to all others. But apparently NYC actually consists of a ton of cities.

Yeah, it's all quite simple when thinking for a bit on a clear head. For some reason I didn't realize at first that the whole ‘:hover’ problem only pops up when nesting is introduced.

Thanks! In fact I easily see this myself now that I've gotten some sleep. Really can't recommend sitting at the computer for hours.

Update: it finally dawned on me that only with nesting things like `color:hover` can appear where both properties and selectors are expected. Apparently today is not my thinking day. Still would like to understand exactly how ‘unbounded loo

This seems to slap the property on html, whereas the proposed nesting only uses the parent as a selector, and specifies properties for the nested element (if I'm not confusing something again). If scss can do `.parent & {...}`, tha

by aasasd 4y ago
The example by itself doesn't explain why I can easily grok that `.parent &` is a selector with nesting, but the parser can't. The `&` marker is introduced for nesting in the first place, so adding another one to specify t

> `color:hover & something` Though then again, I still don't see why the parser can understand that `color:hover something` is a selector, but can't understand that `color:hover & something` is a selector with nesting

by aasasd 4y ago
The post makes it quite clear that all three proposals sprinkle some markers and constrain their use to avoid ambiguity for the parser, so not sure what you're talking about.

Afaict the lookahead problem refers not to the proposals, but to a syntax without these extra markers altogether. Which is why all the proposals have some markers.
