    This is impressive but I don't get it. All that work and you have a game written in JS of all things. Why not write it in a desktop language und port it to JS. Now this will always…

    Whats so crazy about it though? Intuitively it seems very likely to me that all possible states of 2028 would fit into a 64 bit number. 4x4 = 16 tiles, 64/16 = 4 bits, 16 powers of…

    This still of programming does not adhere to MVC though, you can't ever swap out the frontend because it's basically merged to the backend and I suspect complex to debug simmilar t…

    I miss these kind of applications. Nowadays everything is flat tons of wasted space, unresponsive and eats 300mb ram because it runs on electron. Just compare windows 11 task manag…

    Not at all. Any song on youtube uploaded in the last 5-10 years is as good as a 320 kbit mp3. Why would it be with the bandwidth anyone has to today?

    This came out yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs0-8ZwZgwI Apparently in germany they caught a pedo like that. Watching certain nodes and the sizes of files that are sent…

    1. Doesn't look like fluid at all 2. Goes down to 40 FPS on my computer Granted this is web, but I think I can simulate that many particles with a simple loop in java on 60 FPS.

    How is this a trick question? Maybe I am dumb but I would have no idea how to solve this.

    UTF-8 is downward compatible to ASCII, so anything that is just a standard character (like every character in this comment) is just a byte.

    I am on the fence with this, maybe there should be research to create safer alternatives to the illegal recreational drugs. They are trying to make amphetamines and opioids that ar…

    For the psychedelics this is very true, I enjoy mostly low doses. But I am not so sure about the MDMA. If I didn't have enough to get "over the hill" it always felt it's about to c…

    That might be, but then don't wonder if people look at you strange if you tell them you got burnout from a job where you never met any colleagues and didn't get paid either.

    If you don't get paid to do something it's not fun, how about you just stop doing it?

    I disagree. I loved that there were no loading times. I always thought PS1 games felt cheap and slow compared to N64 games. Nobody really used the CD space for game content, they j…

    Going by how long ReactOS is developed and how unuseable it still is I wonder if the time would haven been better spent decompiling windows 2000 and structuring the code. Once that…

    How about you stop caring that much about proving others right.

    Honestly the only thing extasy did for me was let me rave for hours to electronic music at clubs. It also opened the door for other chemical drugs which led to benders and hangover…

    Another big reason is that the limitations actually make you more creative. I learned producing EDM in the FL Studio era and in a sense it's a godsend you don't have to buy all tha…

    I also use Bitwig. I switched from Ableton because it was cheaper. It's objectively a better DAW from a technical standpoint. But I have to say the sounds and plugins it comes with…

    I guess because it's nothing more than a transparent window that is reading out information about other windows and changing its own position. So pretty basic WinAPI calls.

    Why is never a binary provided? Me and 99% of users won't check the code for malicious behaviour so I might as well run a binary from the web.

    2 Points to consider. 1. Brain scan shows that the brain activity is acutally decreasing on psychedelics. 2. Most people hold a hidden assumption that the sober state is more truth…

    But it's the job of the government to enforce that via warnings and fines, not private entities sueing for "emotional damage". The IP alone is almost useless anyway unless it can b…
