As an engineer, I know a bit about graph stuff that allows me to solve real life problem. But with this new result, what kind of practical problem can be solved, or helped to solve ?

If your income can't pay the bill, then society as whole must think about it's useful to keep you alive or not. There is another world outside the economical one.

I use plasma on debian current stable 10+ hours a day. It works really well except for a few bugs sometimes (diasppearing window decoration after using firefox). As a user, I like Plasma a lot but what I'd love is even more bug fixes.

Woodworking is rooted in reality . Angles are not perfect, measures are not perfect. In coding, everything is perfect. That I don't like the first and like the second.

Oh sure! But I must admit, after looking at the video, that I still don't get the story behind it... Is it that one types orders for its character on a typewriter ? If so, that's a very nice twist to the usual text adventure !
