i used it years ago. it solved nothing for me despite being cool. i've not seen any interesting developments in that direction. but then i still consider java, c#, go, rust, haskell pointess badly designed and built clusterfucks, so wh

reminds me of stuff i based in basic when i was a kid made me laugh to see "no raytracing", then immediate use of the perspective projection which is intersecting points and a plane along a ray lol...

a snooty, awful user base and terrible ideas that hurt usability. and iphone which was awesome, if also a statement in how blind and shitty the competition was. overrated upper middleclassware anyway...

determinatives are for disambiguiating words and clarity. everything is phonetically spelled minus some vowels (usually assumed to be 'e'). sounds can be overspecified for clarity. some of the symbols have multiple consonants. her

the unicode implementation is garbage... 𓂋𓐍 see? also wikihiero is crappy. meanwhile, i don't suck at rudimentary code and banged this out quickly after self-teaching to fix it after the fact: https://github.com/semiess

fascinating. the software landscape of egyptology is mostly a barren wasteland with a few superstars dotted around (Serge Rosmorduc stands out!) good to see such fine work!

why the hell is it that anyone who makes these "clever" demos provides the world's shittiest camera that adds unwelcome rolls. late 90s bedroom me is shaking his head.

good work. i've always found bezier curves impractical and overrated, using standard polynomial interpolations or more easily understood variants.

in my experience, its sometimes 100% of the time, even after repeated attempts to correct it with more specific prompts. Even on simple problems involving divisions or multiples of numbers from 1 to 10 with one additional operation.

this kind of stuff makes we wish we had well organised data, grammars, categorised training sets for image classifiers, and other software accessible data to work on these problems. academia fails somewhat here, as does industry... and amat

example of program "so simple it might be free of bugs" is buggy. classic bad tool work. EDIT: imagine a line starting 'pub fn'. correct solution? use parsers for parsing, not hacks.
