My game is basically an interactive story told in chat format, so what I use with Twison is a list of nodes and I use the node text content, the nodes it points to, and a set of tags to organize which node correspond to which conversation.

Anecdotally so not worth much, but I keep telling all of my acquaintances in SEM, law and other paths who struggle with making ends meet to try their hand at programming, even if it is not their preferred vocation, and so far none would get

A tragedy, these laws were created to promote art and nowadays are exclusively used to hide and destroy it.

Shout out to Rematch, it has been the go-to library to ail my redux woes. So much is simplified that it makes things way easier to grok.

Heh, I looked this up back in the day and thought how confusing it was that it had the same name as the yarn package manager since I was using it in my build process. Does it have a way to export to JSON or another structured format? My gam

Absolutely. In fact make sure to mention which Guitar Oro formats as they've got so many and it's irritating to have to keep track of them all.

The usual advice is to expose yourself to as many people in the business as you can via friends, studies, conferences, talks, hackathons, etc. And let as many people as you can know that you're open and able to create/improve that

What do you mean by simple return? If you need granularity you can `return@scope`

Yeah, the exact same thing happened to my partner. Did the same at first to redirect, but ended up deciding against it since it brought more visibility and players to a very niche multiplayer game.

It's never silly! What if there's a chance the same effect can be recreated just by the setting and not the drug? Seems nearly impossible but I'd rather have control.

Uber was a good service for me until for some reason it appeared to have flagged me internally as a sort of driver beta tester, and from then on would only give me drivers with less than 2 weeks on the app. The experience was awful and dang

So he's saying that instead of working on reducing pollution, we should rather enable people to survive it, even if it means making them live underwater, because that'll increase wealth? Considering how incredibly unequal that wea

Sound like a sort of catch 22. Payment processors treat them as second class citizens, so first class who would not do shady business don't dare set up in the industry. And so the reputation of the ones who do validates the processors&

I love this kind of work having the compiler prevent you from creating business logic bugs. If you're into this and Kotlin, take a look at the contracts experiment - https://blog.kotlin-academy.com/understanding-kotlin-

So Gitlab basically became huge from nothing simply by strictly adhering to 'Github but better'. Now it's time for something else to do the same and pick up the ones who'll leave because of these policies with 'Gitl

I'd love to go into Firefox, but my deal breakers are ad blocking, having a bottom navigation bar, and intuitive and easy to use text reflow. It's getting there, but not quite yet, so I'm stuck with Opera for now which I don&

Machine learning is based on sample data, which time and time again has been proven to be biased, producing errors due to racism which then get fed back into the system and perpetuate the cycle. It is not infallible and it does not reveal t

That's what I hate. I keep going back and forth skimming for names to try and parse what paragraph relates to what. I'd much rather read two separate articles for each thing.

I sort of get banning internet access but I've always been baffled at exams not allowing notes. At least in engineering, we should encourage students to be able to solve difficult problems with notes rather than solve minimal ones with

My daily driver for years has been a Moto Z Play gen 1, with a battery mod. It's robust as hell, I have literally never had the battery run out, and I can go two days or sometimes three if I'm being careful without doing a full ch

Well, that would be their value add. I've been working remotely for over 5 years and anecdotally I'd say there are quite a few characteristics you could evaluate to get a feel of how good someone would be for remote. Some of them

Not that I think their proposition is better but the Brave people particularly are trying to push a different model with their attention token scheme, so it's not that no one can think of something different, just that it's enormo

Quick tip, the sign up doesn't trim emails and validates them against some rule that fails on 'blah@blah.com '. I strongly suggest not validating emails except by simply trying to send one, it's the worst case to lose an
