  I’ve literally sat down in city centers surrounded by buildings. It’s an amazing feeling.

  I wish I could experience that. I wish our sci-fi fairytales of space travel were happening now. Alas, I must simply exist in a life lived better than a king of old, living longer than our ancestors, with food untasted by the billions before us, and all while I fly around in space within Eve Online while watching Star Trek. Life is great, but it’s so easy to want it to be just that much better.

  It just felt so cliche, that the crazy discovery they make is that the strange stuff is alive. The writers couldn’t make it sentient because then they’d need to explain why it’s just like the Great Lake but different from the Great Lake. It just exists and Star Fleet happens to be the only ones who know about it.

  lol, I love that you’re conflating the creator having the budget to make the show more in-line with his original vision with someone else making a lousy change for no clear reason. It’s a nice knee-slapper of a comment you have right there. Good luck with it.

  Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?

  Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn’t care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.

  So long as they’re not trying to put solar panels literally in the road but instead as coverage above the road (blocking rain, snow, sun, etc.) then that sounds great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of *not* eking-out games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just had to restart Skyrim (again), but I am determined to beat the main storyline this time. I have hundreds of hours in this game and I’ve played just about every side quest. On those rare moments I stumble into a new dungeon, I just absorb each step, soaking it all in.

  Rust, easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite software stack for full-stack web development?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My current favorite is mostly Rust-based with the tide crate, tide-jsx crate, postgres crate, and Postgres in Docker. Super easy, super fast (to develop and run), but I haven’t made any large web projects with this stack yet, just small stuff.

  “Normal transaction” after a fundamental change in how all games that use your product are financially responsible by novel, unmeasurable, and unrealistic metrics. No transaction prior to this kind of announcement is “normal” imo.

  That’s awesome! What are your thoughts on keeping the colors of your face as they naturally are and as the GoL algorithm acts on the pixels, you blend the colors together?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you please elaborate on how, when using Rust, we can avoid needing to debug our JS code? I am very interested and hope that I didn’t misunderstand you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From my experience JS is primarily used to manipulate the DOM. I haven’t looked into it, but if you’re correct that WASM cannot manipulate the DOM then your question, to me, is tantamount to “Why aren’t people using forks to eat soup?”. I would love a staticly-typed, compiled language to come along and replace JS. If anyone is aware of how I can write Rust in place of JS, please let me know. For now, I suffer/enjoy JS.
