   My best work was done this way but I do find for myself that it has a capricious nature and I can't force it but really when it comes down to it - I have to be really interested and engaged in the problem and this isn't always the

   I prefer the original because of Kubrick's influence.

   A modest knowledge of technology in the 70s did not embue the vision outlined by Clarke, I give him a bit more credit. I'm sure most people from that era would be astounded by where we are today.

   That's got to be it and it's poetic that ChatGPT found it.

   Bold claim. Elite probably has a stronger claim considering it's a , you know, game. But subLOGIC flight simulator was a seminal product. I learned my initial 3D graphics rendering from Bruce Artwick's 1984 book https:/&#x2F

   Oh no, C++ has template meta programming and the ability to mask a DSL as advanced architecture, and then you can even implement Lisp or pick your favorite while claiming you're coding in C...++

    It doesn't as far as I can tell.

    An interesting problem! How do the HDMI cards look? I have one but my Apple is not working at the moment at I haven't tried it yet. They are clever devices that snoop the bus and replicate the video do it might not be suitable for demo

    That is a tragedy. Sounds like you could use some precision medicine but it feels like that revolution is not happening fast though.

    The humble Vectrex has a good asteroids - like game built in called Minestorm. But if you desire the original, someone has made an excellent version called Rocks and Saucers - free download. https://www.vecfever.com/faq&#x2

    I don't have any data for this - so it's just a conjecture - but I think ML-Enhanced Code Completion and other AI developer tools levels the playing field for anyone who enjoys pair programming but doesn't have someone to par

    Indeed - and since human's are susceptible to injection prompt, all it needs is one derailing comment to take things off course.

    And as you hint at C# later and honestly it sometimes feels like the Unity game IDE took up the throne of Smalltalk with it's Smalltalk derived language and it's interactive IDE. What do you think?

    Indeed, or even younger. I look back to that time and realize that I was capable of quick breadth first knowledge aquisition - something that often escaped me when I was older and wanted to go deep on everything but this slows you down if y

    Using a video of duffers trying the bike for the first time is not very convincing. I expect that with experience you'd get the handle on the trike design and control it quite well.

    That's frustrating. Can you can still, if you have Android, use the text capture feature built in that reads text from bitmaps? I use that everyday for sites and apps that don't allow copy paste.
