I disagree with this. Theres nothing about this system which requires the world to be infinite. As an example, check out https://www.badnorth.com/ which uses wave function collapse to generate the islands.
The worlds are carefully tuned and aspects of them are controlled, but the algorithm is the same and I do think this creates worlds or at least aspects of gameplay with great interest.
Thats a disappointing trend. I personally like github for project management explicitly because it offers more features and options (and they are continuing to improve it)
given his recent travel records and the genetic testing that linked his particular strain to subsequent patients, it's highly likely he was patient zero
He flew from Wuhan to Seattle. Presumably there were many other people on that flight. How likely is it that another passenger, who was asymptomatic or just didn't seek medical care, was the real patient zero?
The tools you'd need on Mars are: Electric mobility and energy storage, launch vehicles to cheaply lift satellite constellations to Earth orbit (which just so happen to heavy lift what you need for a Mars transit), cheap tunnel boring to reduce transportation congestion on Earth, but also to build underground (radiation protected) habitats on Mars.
If you have a hobby you love (go to Mars, die on Mars), it doesn't hurt to get rich building the infra your hobby needs. You will need those funds to buy services from your companies for your hobby.
I've been working on Neovide for a couple months, it supports ligatures, emoji, and a nifty smear animated cursor. Maybe some folks here would find it useful or interesting.
Technically it uses Vulkan and is based on Google's Skia rendering library. Further it uses HarfBuzz for shaping and Winit for window management.
That's interesting that you say that. To you is it the nifty-ness of it or the functionality? I'm considering new features now that the issue tidal wave has calmed down and trying to prioritize which ideas to tackle next.
Both. Nifty-ness feels somehow fun, or rather enjoyable to watch. Functionally this solves a very small but ever-present issue with using vim; perhaps most importantly, the animation is sufficiently fast to be actually unobtrusive, a very rare feat for most such UX changes, and absolutely vital to it's potential to be useful.
It is perhaps the single most impressive text editing visual design change I've ever seen (maybe second to kakoune's verb-noun reordering allowing selection-before-editing visualization). But while most such changes are functional but dull (eg sublime multiline editting), I can confidently say I like looking at this thing go (and the utility is minor, but obvious and good)...
Just from looking at the animation,
the 'transition'/jump from on the buffer to the minibuffer looks very useful. And in general, it looks a useful way of drawing attention to the cursor if you don't know where the cursor is going to be.
I was like "must be typical HN hype" but seeing in action makes me want to download this as soon as I get to my computer. Its so often in vim where I don't know where my cursor is.
I've only got a windows box, so its probably unlikely for me to be able to make a package for whatever distro you are using. Building should be very easy though and I would love some help working out any issues in building for any particular distro
No, that's not your job-- you're already doing all the hard work. I'm kinda occupied but if I get time I'll see if I can package it. Thank you, you're very kind. I hope you have a great professional life.
An alternate solution that I am considering and will try if and when it becomes available is to create a new or even parameterized renderer. Druid-Shell is an up and coming option by Raph Levien and company. I've also considered pathfinder. There will be more options as time goes on and I would like to make the system modular enough to explore them.
I would need to build the equivalent of https://github.com/aclysma/skulpin for metal. This would be very difficult for me personally to do as I don't have easy access to a modern macos machine. The total amount of code is relatively low though
Lots of people get angry about this kind of stuff. "I'd switch to Firefox if it supported Fluent" is something I have read multiple times in discussions about browsers.
