Heaps - Haxe Game Engine - Heaps.io Game Engine Cross platform graphics for high performance games.

that makes sense! i just didn’t find any examples that seemed to use ADTs on heaps.io after a quick browse through a few of the examples. but i also didn’t know what to look for, since haxe is new to me

so your game state *can* be an ADT i assume?

thanks! i know that there are plenty of game engines in languages with ADT. i’m wondering about an opinion, what [replier] likes, so heaps does sound interesting!

does the engine directly support ADTs or is it just object oriented, in a language with ADT support? the examples looked like the latter

do you know of any good game engines that allows algebraic data types?

yeah, you would probably need a very specialized pillow configuration to have a neutral relaxed neck in supine position. you could however quite easily have a relaxed neck in halfway between sideways and supine position

for me, LLMs are mostly helpful as an anti-learning tool: ”i don’t want to learn all the details, i just want an answer (of unreliable accuracy)”

i guess if you’re only interested in a very shallow view, it works, but getting quick answers to small curiosities isn’t exactly what i would think of as ”good for learning”

it kinda teaches you not to be patient and expect quick answers for curiosities? but maybe it still increases curiosity?

one of these is way more conducive to your own learning than the other, but it is also more effort. sometimes the ai shortcut is actually a benefit to learning, but often it’s a detriment, like most shortcuts

getting the answer served on a silver platter means you don’t do learning yourself

writing a good, production-ready compiler for an advanced language is a whole other thing, but a simple POC compiler for a simple language is fairly easy to make

an LLM is mostly just a very fancy autocomplete, but they’re surprisingly competent at coding despite that. coding has a lot of patterns

there are several compilers available in their training data, so at worst it can make a bad copy of them, zero intelligence needed from the LLM. but a statistical model can still go more steps in ”what is likely to occur in compiler code, given this pre-existing code and comments”.

ok, not that far ahead of china in absolute numbers, but number 5 in rate in the world, only behind El Salvador, Cuba, Rwanda and Turkmenistan.

The incarceration rate of the US is literally 10x that of Finland, 15x that of Japan, 13x the rate of India and Niger. You have no excuse!

regardless of how bad or not china is, the US both having by far the largest inmate population in the world in absolute numbers and among the highest per capita is certainly nothing to be proud of

it is indeed pretty nice! i also like the built in cable organization.

if you do get it, remember to assemble it in the correct chirality for your home or it may be trouble trickier to get the cables out where you want. you can mirror the top and bottom parts independently of each other

a photo of my desk with a ~28” monitor (I don’t have a measuring tape) standing inside the corner area between the bult in shelves. It is slightly wider than the distance between the shelves.

right, a 75% reduction is ”likely” from that bias, but the study you reference doesn’t have a significant bias?

where does your confidence stem from?

you won’t get any use of the magnetic surface in the back of the desk with a monitor of that size though

yes, i have one. even if it’s slightly wider than the gap between the shelves, it can still fit inside the hole where it is wider

oh, yeah that’s fair! i have encountered a few of those. especially deb, but some rpm only too

it does indeed sound pretty insane! i don’t completely get the point though? is it just to get access to more package repositories, or something? or maybe just because you can?

for example, this is a way more objective measure: bsky.app/profile/sail...

number of reports isn’t necessarily a good measure, since it’s just “any symptoms that happened after that the patient believes could have a connection”. the last part is the key part, since there has been so much fear mongering around the vaccine, so people are more vigilant about any symptoms

I have this exact same desk (or possibly an older version of it) from IKEA. I don’t understand how it would feel claustrophobic, but yes, there’s definitely a max limit on your monitor size

good job! you really expressed an unpopular opinion. (mostly because it’s a bad opinion)

basically: ”because much of the internet is trash, there’s no point in preserving the valuable parts of the internet”

i get practical use from the WBM several times a month (e.g. following dead links)

both are stochastic/statistical processes, but vibe coding is a single training step followed by a oneshot generation step, while natural selection is a random walk driven by survival/fitness, so no

though i guess both can make code that works for very stupid reasons, so maybe?

(specifically I use bwrap to sandbox claude code. it’s flexible and fairly easy to use)
