I wasn't told how to interpret it, I saw an unusual picture and, where you apparently jumped the conclusion that it was two men that were obviously about to have sex and that it would be a scandalous statement on your own sexuality if

The hard links are to the most recent backup before the one happening now in the script, so that you aren't storing full copies of files that haven't changed between backups.

This seems like a good place to ask: I have a memory of a longer story along very similar lines. Maps are made that are increasingly larger, but in the version I'm remembering the maps are in a room of a palace or something? Does this

This is a fun idea and the implementation works pretty well. The only complaint I have is that enter for clearing feels awkward in conjunction with hjkl movement; maybe add (d)elete and (f)lag as alternatives to enter and space to keep ever

It seems like there's a lot still to see about how these work and interact, but from initial impressions I don't see these outshining Spark Blocks, a recent kickstarter that my 9 year old son is having tons of fun with: https:&#x

Reminds me of https://scaleofuniverse.com . I think confining it to just living things removes the perspective of "Wow, we're really small compared to the rest of the universe".

Just want to say that I appreciate you maintaining this list. It's one of those things I need to do every now and then, so having a place that gives me a current summary of the options is very handy.

This reminds me of the game engine "Zillions of Games" from the '90s. It was a basic system for describing abstract strategy games and then an AI that could play them with you. They're still online but I don't know
