You should always type check your shell scripts as well. For example, you just: $ shelltypes script.sh # Welcome to shelltypes v 3.23.2 # type ‘help’ if you’re stuck >>> {1) # import POSIX;; Importing 73 items

You cast integers to pointers and play with fire, of course!

A WASM VM is just “some calculations,” really.

Ah! That would speed up the game a bit, for sure. I like my idea a bit better. Fouls become way more strategic. Maybe you do away with the bonus, though. A foul on the floor just changes possession. A foul during shot becomes almost a toss

I don’t have the stats in front of me, but I’d guess more 3s are made with more backboard visible. Need to be way more accurate from the corners. (Not that people bank off the backboard, but hit the rim, backboard, in, type accidents)

You mean, a free throw is a chance shot that when missed awards the defense? Seems like that would have a huge impact on end of game strategy. It would change the “in the paint” strategy—maybe defense would foul earlier to avoid the 2+1? Ho

This looks cool! Reminds me of the long defunct Little Printer ( https://vimeo.com/32796535 ).

The fact of the matter is that there are many motivations for creating software. If someone profits off of my work, that I released into the world with licensing terms that allows them to do so, there’s no obligation that I be paid for it.

You can also just say what you are thinking: $25 of every $29 license should go back to ffmpeg. There. I made your point for you, directly.

Was able to play, but it didn’t recognize kills. Definitely got 2, possibly a 3rd (hard to tell in small screen). FF on iOS.

The leap second in Unix time is supposed to wait a second and pretend it never happened. I can see why a longer second could be trouble, but also… if you knew it was coming you could make every nanosecond last 2 and lessen the impact as tim

Ok. I may just be unaware of the actual numbers. “The advertisers came back, and more liberal users were leaving, but businesses still found it valuable” was sort of my last understanding.

Elon didn’t burn down Twitter. It still has 100m+ users. He turned it into a politically far right echo chamber, gas lighting its users about “free speech absolutism,” and then outright banning, demoting, or drowning out commentary he doesn

I had no idea they extended this to 10 years! This makes the original comment that much more wrong.

What happens if there’s a regression in coverage, maybe due to a large sweeping change, and you go from 0.40 -> 0.35 ?

No. Completely green field. Well, it _was_. I believe they’ve recently accepted that third party libraries will be allowed in the non-Serenity OS version.

There you go then. I guess they don’t care.

More concretely, Tom7 built a typesetting system (think TeX) that doesn’t only use the bounding boxes of words, or possible hyphenation to align justified text. His system allows for the text to be rewritten via an LLM if rewording would re

Well yes, of course. The way the different angles are computed isn’t intuitive. If a ball bounces off a table, it doesn’t change direction from its normal reflected bounce just because it didn’t hit the center. That’s why I’m suggesting the

I agree, it's fun. However, who wants to play pong? It's not exactly a flashy "CLICK ME" type game.
