The classic counterargument is that game design (or, more broadly, interaction design) is the art medium, not the game. The game is the result. A basketball player might not be an artist, but the person who created the idea of basketball

Depends on the scanner/camera app, but yes, similar situation for Xiaomi's MIUI builtin camera.

Not who you asked, but for me persuasion is a manner of manipulation, trying to convince anyone of anything using anything but raw and complete information is manipulation. Of course under that assumption, basically every human communicat

That's fair enough, as long as you would trust that business to not misuse your address space for other things. Same level of trust one would put in a regular email provider, I guess.

Yes, but if one goes out of business you can buy your domain from someone else! Or even transfer it, if you are warned a nonzero amount of time in advance. Being able to keep your address across service providers being the important part he

A small addendum because I forgot to actually show something cool: Another example, demonstrating the querying for the relation part, would be to find Leonardo DaVinci's family members: (again in pseudocode so you don't need to

I cannot! I have just recently learned about it and am doing so for leisure, not for skill. I'm sorry I couldn't be of much use. In fact I would love to know if someone else does have any other resources too :)

Wikidata, SPARQL, and RDF in general. And I guess semi-relatedly things like Prolog? I recently decided to fiddle with Wikidata, and it is fascinating to be able to query for any part of a statement, not just the value! In SPARQL you write

Presumably then it would be non-violating to have many paid accounts? Sure is pricey for smaller operations but depending on the value it brings to have this more granular scoping it surely might be worth it? Doesn't remove their need

Neat! Though I would recommend making clicking anywhere on the screen focus the text input.

It might be local clothing design, but I haven't seen a back pocket so low that you could actually sit on a phone. The geometry works out that the pocket is halfway from your back and your leg, so when you sit the phone would be at a

On one hand, it is rational if you think of Go functions "on a type" as just having an extra argument, but then one might ask, why bother with the special syntax at all? Just go the C way and if you want to take a "self"

Godot already exports games to the web, this is about the engine itself running on web.

The simplest explanation is that it's people making programs for the sake of it, not for any practical purpose. And such people (as people do) tend to coagulate into a community around that interest, sharing results and techniques and

Maybe part of the sentence is missing and they meant change avatars _per server_? That would be the only reason I can imagine someone might want to have multiple accounts.

Yes, but so is having the password check happen on the client-side, which I have seen happen in two different routers' stock firmware I've owned in the past.

Not the author, but I would say they might not be very secure, but importantly, they are _auditably_ so. You can look around to see if anyone shady is within earshot, and in many situations you can choose a (contextually) private location i

Fair enough, that is a meritable goal. Have you considered not going full-on structural-typing but still providing some sort of union? In fact, you could go for one with even stronger guarantees, like the sum types in Rust or F#. (with Rust

by kroltan 6y ago
Indeed, that is basically what you get from unions, except the exhaustiveness check. Unless I'm mistaken, if one were to later implement a new class that extends AppState, all existing code would compile, but possibly fail or misbehave

Fair enough, and sorry if I seemed a bit combative too. However, I believe "this is a website" or "this is an app" is a perspective the user will take, despite what our intentions as creators were, and so, the safest bet

Not who you asked (and I just now realized I'm replying to you twice regarding this OP, I solemnly swear it's not some crude attempt at stalking). But for me the main use for TS union types is to make discriminated unions, which i

Yes but on the web you can use a user-agent that doesn't care about what the site says should be selectable, or at least an extension that overrides the CSS in question.
