Yes, fellow rhythm-based dungeon crawlers unite! This looks great fun, the tiny resolution is such a fun artistic constraint. I love the way you describe the time travel aspect. My own project has to run on an NES, and memory constraints me

If I'm smart, I can offset this by eating half of that meal in the restaurant and taking the rest in a to-go container. Two meals for the price of one, and reheating in the oven is almost as convenient. Separately though, I have no ide

Honestly the main thing was learning that perfectly satisfying food I cook at home tends to land around 600-800 cal for a meal, where eating out almost anywhere is often twice that, even if my beverage is water. Just being aware how how he

It doesn't even take very long messing around with the things to quickly realize how much smoke and mirrors is involved. Next time you get a good response from your favorite LLM, go ahead, hit "regenerate" a few times. Look a

GPL makes sense in a context where that sort of vendor compatibility creates existential conflicts for the product. For an operating system and associated toolset, it is clearly an excellent license and does great work encouraging the neces

Would the solution not be to pivot to more in-person demonstrations of skill and knowledge? Say the tests and exams become hand written, or taken in a controlled lab or whatever, so you need to eventually pick up the skill. But how you pi

I'm translating my current videogame project into Toki Pona! It's delightful fun, but also a bit tricky at times. The tiny vocabulary makes it difficult to come up with unambiguous ways to refer to in-game mechanics. The lack of p

The fun(?) thing is that this isn't just LLMs. At regional band tryouts way back in high school, the judges sat behind an opaque curtain facing away from the students, and every student was instructed to enter in complete silence, perf

I think the counterintuitive thing is that the marketing communicates a lack of confidence. It's... sortof odd to think about it that way, but to communicate actual confidence in your field, you mostly have to be willing and able to

The rather simple solution is to keep children off the internet without adequate supervision. It horrifies me to see public school programs that now functionally require an Internet connection in the classroom and at home, often with Goog

Walk into a coffee shop. Look at the wifi password, usually a sign near the register. Log onto the wifi network using the wifi password. Browse in peace. Is this sort of flow normal elsewhere? It's certainly normal where I live.

Philips Hue and many other similar smart light bulbs connects to my zigbee network with no Wi-Fi needed. It's remarkably simple to control them from Home Assistant, which I can run on a fully isolated home network. When my Internet gav

I feel the need to issue a correction: while I'm programming in assembly, I very well have types. This word over here (screen position) represents a positive number only, but this one over here (character acceleration) can be negative.

Audio is *surprisingly* tricky on both platforms. NES has DPCM, which cheerfully interrupts the CPU and causes untold issues with controller reading. Gameboy has envelopes that are semi-required with phase-resets, and a wave channel which y

This is awesome! Very nicely done. I hear a few problems with the audio emulation, (mostly clicks that shouldn't be there) but it's been a long while since I had my head wrapped around Gameboy emulation. I'm not sure I know

When someone is using a tool, improving their house, working in their yard, I have very few issues with that psychologically. Yes it's a bit irritating, but generally my neighbors are courteous enough to not do that at night, and I can

Realizing that my professors were being paid by the university and not by me, and that they had no natural incentives to ensure I actually passed the course, was a necessary wakeup call. At some point I realized I was spending that money on

When I accessed the internet using some other person's device, my parents tended to notice. Opportunities to do that unsupervised were few and far between. The parents catching it most of the time was sufficient to deter bad behavior.

I grew up with a flip phone and an old laptop without a wireless card. I managed to learn how to program on it just fine, and that's what it was given to be for. I also played lots of video games. Oh no? No porn though. No communicatio

Ah, then my correction probably does not stand, and I'll need to look deeper into it. Thanks for the explanation! This jargon really gets out of hand at times. :P But I don't mind being wrong if I learn from it.

That's not quite how ubsershaders work. They're a "fallback" shader in the sense that they rather inefficiently implement the entire pipeline, but they do implement the entire pipeline. The shader being compiled in ano

I have mixed feelings about the name of this model. :P Though I suppose it's my own fault, naming myself after a letter. I'm admittedly a bit surprised that there's a free/paid scheme for a 7b model though, as those are

I program in 6502 assembly all day. It's certainly lovely as beginning assembly languages go, though it can also be limiting. The addressing modes encourage using the "Zero Page" (the memory from $0000 - $00FF) as something o

I met my current employer while working within the NESDev community, and we quickly realized we lived in the same state. One thing led to another after that. This feels like one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. That said, there&#x

Please don't force light mode either. :) My astigmatism means that I find dark mode on backlit screens to be far more readable. For proper accessibility, include both and respect the browser/OS user preference accordingly. Allow
