Rule of law differs substantially from rule by algorithms since laws are created and interpreted by humans, and there's always the possibility of reasoning and making a deal with a human when the law is incorrect or there are specific

In some un-free countries such as North Korea the purpose of voting is co-opted to mean something completely different: the ritualized political humiliation of the population. By forcing you to vote in an "election" that everyone

My personal opinion is that humans are fundamentally a technological species, and even things like the wearing of clothes or primitive social organization could be argued to be "cybernetic augmentation". I don't know how to s

It's fundamentally a function of technology, just like Protestantism is only possible when you have a literate population and access to cheap books. The mainstreaming of what some call "Cyborg Theocracy" happens from the bott

What I see happening soon: The mainstreaming of a new religion. Its tenets are broadly: the worship of technology and "progress", the cyborgization of the population, the proliferation of AI on all spheres of life, and the ultimat

Reminds me of the classic Orsinial Winterbells: https://www.crazygames.com/game/winterbells Maybe you can also integrate the accelerometer on phones for a compact and more fun example?

I am also working on JS client-server multiplayer implementations, and I've gone with WebRTC for the transport and a state-based communication (instead of events). The primary reason is to avoid desyncs, which is in my opinion impossib

A few years back I also used WebRTC with different backends (Kurento, Puppeteer, Mediasoup) to try and make an audio-based social network. I got pretty far but I was on my own and a grad student at the same time so the project died. A few y

I was an AI skeptic for a long time, but I've slowly started to come around on the use of tools such as ChatGPT. I don't think they'll replace programmers, since in the end someone still has to make the judgement about integr

A few years ago I did stuff like this using Puppeteer. This is not one of the advertised use cases, but normally Puppeteer comes with a fully featured WebRTC implementation, and for my needs, also included the WebAudio spec. Using a combina

I remember the broadcasters also implemented this solution straight into the stream, the TV spectators did not have to do anything.

This works for video games too. Warcraft 3 had a comprehensive editor and cloud functionality built in which allowed games such as DotA to be made. However, the base Warcraft 3 game is a masterpiece in its own right, which drove users to th

Isn't the sorting algorithm in question the famous BubbleSort? I understand the value of formally proving it works, but why is the name mentioned nowhere?

Could computers be built without perishable components such as capacitors? From my experience they're the first components that usually break down or have the shortest shelf life.

It's because if you only allow an app to access an approved and whitelisted API endpoint, that endpoint can trivially implement a proxy and essentially act as a gateway to the open internet.

High-quality drivetrains in bicycles can have an overall efficiency of up to 95%, can this system beat that? Of the force that someone puts on the pedals, how much of that drives the rear wheel in the end?

Most of these tools are too open-ended and pull the users in the minute details. I've been developing software for over 10 years now and I can handle it without any issue, but there are not many kids who could handle the extreme frustr

As a child I got my hands on the StarCraft map editor, a reasonably complex tool that allowed me to create all sorts of scenarios. Similarly, an older cousin of mine had access to Worldcraft (now known as Valve Hammer) and Flash, all of the

You'll only exhale the CO2 you actually produce, if you increase your oxygen intake you won't actually increase CO2 production, you only do that with increased activity (that's why you need to breathe more). You can also try

This is called a "desync" and is a bug in a particular implementation of multiplayer networking. In this model instead of the server sending the state to each player, it sends their inputs, and allows the local device to completel

I'm a web developer and I'm currently writing a book about game development in the web. The book is still a work in progress (it likely will never be "complete"), but it's quite usable and soon I'll be able to

I would have absolutely loved this book as a student, and I’m writing a similar book for JS and gamedev, I’m really liking the diff style and I might adopt it myself. https://suldashi.github.io/gamebook

Development will still be hard intellectually, but much easier when you don’t have to deal with symbolic manipulation. I don’t think no code is a solution for the web, but in specialized domains such as video games it could have a major imp

Just as an interesting fact, the electricity price is 7 cents per kwh during the day and 3 cents during the night, these prices make GPU mining very profitable. In the North where the govt. is weak the electricity is simply not paid, this h

There is a quota in Kosovo, but there’s a ton of small time miners that are distributed all around and none reach the quota individually but overall they affect the electric situation of the whole country.
