I'm interested. How can I get updates on this project?

I think it's probably not true that it all adds up over a lifetime. That's the model that is widely used but there's some good evidence to suggest it's not accurate. see: https://e…

I wanted to use this a long time ago but the rust support wasn't there. I can see now that it's on the front page with apparently first class support so looks like I can give it a …

The strip is depressing, but the actual city outside of the strip is pretty cool. It's rapidly growing with very affordable housing. The food scene is excellent because of a divers…

I'm working on a distributed object storage system to be the backing store behind my website ( https://scmscx.com ). It currently uses back blaze b2 which is good and cheap but I t…

JSON5 is exactly what you're looking for and has somewhat decent adoption. I use it for configuration on one of my projects and I really enjoy it.

From the bottom of the article: > # ps. By design, this website is as usable as YAML. It's intentionally bad.

I'm surprised to see MPQ come up. What game is it?

I see many people in the comments nostalgically talking about the custom mapping scene and how it got them into programming. The same is true for me, so I think here is a good plac…

In 2020 I wanted to look up some classic StarCraft 1 maps that I used to play but there wasn't a good database around that I could easily search through. So I made https://scmscx.c…

This is a nice solution. I came up with something similar where once it got stuck without making much progress I would just blow away a big radius and that would often help it get …

a) determine in bounded time whether any solution exists at all I can't prove it but I think this is roughly the same thing as the circuit satisfiability problem, which is np-compl…

I implemented this algorithm to generate StarCraft 1 maps and it worked quite well. The results it generates have quite a natural property to them that you don't see with similar t…
