Touchdesigner, VVVV, (Notch?) too. The big benefit here (besides dataflow programming working better for more pipeline-like programs) is that it's always runtime. This is a pretty …

I mean, it’s another tool. It doesn’t really make an entirely new kind of web app possible, but it’s useful for some specific compute-heavy tasks (with limitations like JS WASM bei…

A lot of the suggestions do actually sound pretty good at a quick glance, but have far-reaching consequences that are not instantly obvious if you don't know your tech/security/pri…

For teaching, it depends a lot on what you’re trying to teach. In some courses I’m involved in we’re intentionally using old, limited, obtuse or otherwise just strange tools and eq…

I’d like to recommend vvvv. It’s a node-based version of C# that is always runtime. The edit-compile-run loop is eliminated so you can tweak both constants and behaviour instantly.…

I think there's some controversy regarding that programs are limited in what extent they can access each other. You need sudo to do global hotkeys/keylogging, probably accessing pi…

I mean, a lot of it is. Green user, signed up 49mins ago, 5 comments, which erodes trust in real people as well. I’ve noticed I’ve just felt less engaged and more anxious about all…

Amidst all the age verification and bot spam going on, anonymous private/public key proof of identity could work: the newly signed up service must pass a challenge from the mail se…

I thought they were going to just heat a chip to increase the overall error rate

I think we’ll see a return to smaller groups and implementing a lot of systems the way we do it IRL. I think you could definitely do a more fine-grained system that progressively a…

Haven’t used the engine specifically, but seems to be a cool project. I have used the Stride renderer which is embedded in VVVV, a live multimedia node-based language, which makes …

Besides the visual design, I've been thinking about the tech part of it. There's so many bits shifting, morphing and having state, that it sounds antithetical to what a UI is suppo…

I think that might be a step too far, rather I'd guess the US just knows the Russian systems very well. The success of the latest campaign against Iran shows that too, and if anyth…

Any details/sources on this? I thought it was strange that the airspace seemed almost entirely uncontested. Scrambling fighters take a while of course (particularly if unmaintained…

I think the main problem is people using the tool badly and not producing concise material. If what they produced was really lean and correct it'd be great, but you grow a bit tire…

Indeed, there's almost always a solution to "inergonomics" in Rust, but most are there to provide a guarantee or express an assumption to increase the chance that your code will do…

I like to put it as all the damage we're causing is just taking out a huge loan, and either we repay it on our own terms or mother nature is going to debt collect for us...

Working as an instructor for a project course for first-year university students, I have run in to this a couple of times. The code required for the project is pretty simple, but t…

Nice! I might actually try drawing our factory with a shoddy pen plotter I built, could give some cool results. Well-built factories are really pretty, looks like small ecosystems …

VVVV uses it too!

Some of the RP editions have an afterword about publishing in Soviet and evading censorship thorough Sci-fi, pretty interesting. Soviet was a strange place. Roadside Picnic is a lo…

It seems Spotify are tightening up on multiple fronts. In June I believe they cut support for DJ:ing apps, which really sucks (especially for beginners who don’t want to invest too…

Humanity really is misled. The production of cosmetics, which I believe is not particularly vital to anyone’s survival, could be cut by ~20% and we could manufacture the vaccine wi…

Ah, right, I was under the impression that scripting was an integral part of the workflow, but with more graphical options for manipulating shapes after basic generation. But I mig…
