I've never heard of that, thanks for sharing it. I'm much too busy with interesting projects and client work to join yet another online social network, even one that's offline-friendly, but it's still really interesting

When I first learned about noise (many years later than I should have), I remember finding out that Perlin noise was patented, so I looked into OpenSimplex[1] instead which is Java but has been ported to other languages. It turns out Love2d

What's the point of the [] version then? It seems inherently more dangerous, and Rust emphasizes safety. I know it wants to be pragmatic as well as safe, but this seems like a strange default.

Interestingly this is in stark contrast to the recent article about learning C++ in 2018 and being perfectly happy with it. I think part of this is because C++ is such a vast language with a huge and diverse ecosystem that it's kind of

I love that "offline-ready" is a feature that's becoming more and more supported and prominent. I don't know anyone else in the power user community who doesn't have home internet, but since getting rid of ours, I&#

I actually don't carry a phone with me. My wife has a flip phone that she uses to contact our kids' schools, and that's it. We also don't have home internet anymore. And when I do use the internet, I make sure to use Saf

From the article: > "We eventually laid out a guide with known good versions of Linux and graphics drivers, but it didn't matter. Part of the allure of Linux is the customizability, so few actually stuck to it, and generally w

We had the same experience, much easier to use since it has a built in sprite and map editor and easier functions. Don't forget to read the manual (accompanying txt file) because it is extremely instructive and you'll miss out on

I'm surprised Lua isn't in this list. It is excessively tiny both in its implementation and its runtime, and I have used it in multiple projects often just by throwing its whole source code right in. It's also very minimalist

It seemed scary at first but our whole family is actually much happier and closer than ever before and none of us regrets it at all.

Generated documentation can be really really useful, but in my experience and opinion it needs to be a custom documentation generator. That's the approach I used with Autumn, where the generated HTML on the website is the same as in th

Sometimes all that's needed is a little pressure and motivation mixed with morale from strong leadership to encourage people to spent a day or so upgrading and testing. Maybe not in this case though. That might not have been enough her

Scratch is pretty great, and at least 3 of my kids constantly ask if they can play Scratch. Unfortunately, for 2 of them it usually means just putting characters on a stage and adding code to change their costumes when you click the green b

We bought this and have been having non-stop fun with it for months. It's an incredible piece of software that I only wish I knew about sooner. It gives a retro 70s-80s feel to making video games that gives kids today a hint of what it

Ruby was one of many languages to spike in popularity due to being a novel way to approach programming, and everyone I know has moved on from it. But I find it very valuable for one-off scripts that are too complex to write in Bash. I actua

That does sound very useful, yeah. I'll look into whether it can be done, but my gut feeling is that it can't. Typically apps can only respond to their own generated Apple notifications, not those generated from other apps.

I think one reason to limit to base 10 is because we don't have an arbitrary number of digits, we only have maybe 36 if we use the full alphabet. And it will be difficult for people to follow along with if it's something they aren

This is an interesting concept but for some reason I expected it to be a curated list and not a list of unvetted user submissions. Still interesting though, just different than my expectations.
