lime!

can’t wait to have a tiny cacodemon in a tube on my desk

i ordered that bundle too! too much waiting…

eelis is a youtube channel that makes supercuts of people playing ow, if you feel like binging :)

also, play obra dinn if you haven’t. not the name thing but similar “whoa” moments

if you feel like riving vicariously i highly recommend beccabytes’ playthrough, she made her own supercut. it’s rare to see someone so completely get it and still be very vocal about their thoughts.

also joseph anderson’s one of you want to see someone completely bork the entire thing.

i thought vis specifically wanted to remain single-file?

outer wilds outer wilds outer wilds outer wilds

that’s a pretty neat solution

huh, that’s a shame. didn’t match my experience at all. my main gripe was with the traveling, but then i went back in a year later and saw that they added a skip button to it.

i have sort of done this. the main thing is that the reversed object-verb command model just… latches onto your brain. this is from kakoune of course, but it just makes a lot of sense coming from vimland. multicursor is also nice because it removes some modes, meaning there is less state to keep in your head. finally, the plug-and-play nature of helix means you can have an lsp-enabled environment from the word go, with no configuration.

the vim plugins are so bad… they only support the super basic stuff, as soon as you want flags with your search or chaining of commands they are useless

vis is such a neat idea, i followed it years ago. any good plugins yet? i really love the structural regex workflow but since kakoune/helix hijacked my muscle memory i would need more support for external tools to go full vis…

python dependencies, like all scripting language dependencies, must not be installed via the system package manager. yes python’s package management is bad, but if package maintainers for nix are not following best practices then honestly that’s their problem, not the tooling’s. this is python packaging 101.

also, malicious PRs being accepted due to ml people being famously bad at actual software engineering is not a “supply chain attack”. and they are definitely not worse than npm, because the problem wasn’t in pypi. pypi is historically really good at preventing this sort of thing, but what can you do when the actual, well-formed release approved and pushed by the actual maintainers has a cryptominer in it?

that’s an oversimplification.

python is slow because it’s meant as glue; all the important parts of the ml libraries are written in other languages.

all the dependency stuff is due to running outside of a managed environment, which has been the norm for 10 years now. yes venv/bin/activate is clunky, but it solves the problem.

also, what supply-side attacks?

lua is probably a better first language though.

so you didn’t watch the video.

no but, how do you make it handle n64 games? i’m interested in setting this up. like i have this old rom of airboarder 64, which to my knowledge was not on the gamecube, and it emulates terribly. how do i set it up to run with dolphin?

that means they are about it.

can you explain how?

the problem is, apparently, that we just don’t know what sort of effect that heating has when it happens inside the body.

you know, never mind the radio spectrum part of what the sun puts out.

actually no, some of it gets absorbed. that’s why there are SAR values available for all cellphones. it measures how many watts of heat get absorbed per kilogram of brain.

since it’s non-ionizing though, the only effect is a slight heating. like microwatts of heating. 15 minutes in direct sunlight is equal to millions of phone calls. but we do measure it!

the ending of outer wilds, figuring out that the treasure really was the friends we made along the way, will always stand out to me as the most magnificent, joy-filled moment in my 25+ year gaming experience.

that, or getting the cool sunglasses in fez.

it was about nutrition. it started with the fact that proteins, fats and sugars all have different energy densities and so how much weight you gain is dependent on what the food is, which is all fair. but then i made the mistake of saying “your weight won’t go up by more than the weight of the food, anyway.” and that spiralled out of control completely. apparently that’s wrong and you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.

as usual for this person they felt that i refused to take the “holistic” view into account.

a more recent conversation started with them talking about some sort of blood sugar sensor that athletes use and when i said “that’s interesting, what’s it called?” they started talking about gut microbes.
