Looks great, but pretty difficult to work with. Would be nice to be able to switch to top view to see more clearly where you're plugging things.

Edit: Clicking the background and dragging it actually gave me the top view I was looking for. Thank you goodcanadian. That said, I still think this application is a better skillset demo than a practical tool to use.

I have no idea what is going on or what is supposed to be going on. I opened up the console to see error messages, but there were none. But I'm pretty sure it's not rendering the way it's supposed to.

If there wouldn’t be chances after transforming, there wouldn’t be any reason to transform.

Thank you for making society a better place.

Got the family a couple of Anbernics and we wanted to see if we could make our own Game Boy Advance games. I started out checking out gbadev.org but found everything there a little dated and getting a devkit set up on macOS looked messy.

Ended up using GB Studio instead. I don’t love low-code or no-code envs, but the community there is very active on Discord and Youtube.

I do my work on a mac because I don't like the nuisance of trying to do it on windows. There is always some wonkiness that I don't even bother to remember the details of, because the solution is just to do it on mac.

I had a teacher in college who before teaching, worked for a company within the gambling industry. He then went on to start his own company, which was as I heard, based purely on the knowledge and connections he made at his former employer. Dude struck gold getting rich off of gambling addicts. Due to his financial success, he thought of himself as some kind of Steve Jobs and an expert on all things related to tech. He would claim to have predicted the popularity of many tech related things, e.g. cloud solutions like google drive and google docs. Problem is that his predictions all came long after all these things had become mainstream.

His lectures were full of incorrect facts. He would ask the class questions and give us wrong answers. I’ve never seen a man so confidently incorrect.

He wrote a book about the fourth industrial revolution in which he used the introduction to brag about all the places he used for writing his book. Including his home in a upper class neighborhood, his home abroad, cafes around the world, etc. His book also contained errors that a simple google search would’ve helped him correct.

A lot of the stuff he taught were interesting. But all the contents of the course could’ve been covered in a video or two.

In my final paper I wrote about how the popularity of new tech can regress even though the tech gets up to great quality. He had stated that you wouldn’t see a computer science student using a laptop after 5 years (this was 10 years ago). They would all be programming on their ipads because the touch screens had become so good. As well as how everyone in their fields were replacing their interfaces with touch screens. I wrote about how mechanical keyboards and physical midi controllers had never been as popular in many fields like audio and video production.

Needless to say. I failed the class. I was just supposed to regurgitate his blogs and opinions.

This was not the only thing to make me lose most all my confidence in any higher education at a time. I went from critical thinking to skeptical thinking. And it was not solely because of my opinions about this teacher. It was because of the opinions of his peers and in how high regard he was kept in the academic society.

I learned that schools are not institutions of science. They’re more like a Church of Science or at the very best, Science’s weird fan club with a weird internal popularity power struggle.

Edit: A word.

Thanks! I needed this. My youngest son pointed out to me the other day while waiting in a doctors reception that I was the only adult not on my phone. When I looked around me, everyone was on their phone except for the occasional uncomfortable look they gave me every now and again. Now I can be on my phone without exhausting myself.

This is satire, right? I sometimes have a hard time picking up on it.

If it’s not satire, I really do not want to read any code the author wrote before “inventing” microprogramming.

I also hate when established terms are reassigned to something completely different.

“No, this code takes no env variables or outside configs. All configs are hardcoded to only run on my machine. I’ve decided to call it… machine code.”

Wow, much better! Good job!

Nice. Although, it bothers me that the shorter lines are lower pitched than the longer lines. Don’t know why, but intuitively I feel like the pitch should go down as the line gets longer.

Someone sure did put a lot of work into this. I can appreciate that. That said, as a musician, I’d prefer if someone just told me the key and progression, or just started playing and I could jump in. I’m not that good with colors.

I did this test multiple times and I get a mix of both extreme results. I think my vote of green or blue on the current color largely depends on the previously displayed color. E.g. If the previous color was a strong green, I’m more inclined to see a color between green and blue, bluer than it actually is.

This approach along with ack, instead of grep, has been a godsend to me.

I don’t think I would enjoy my work if I didn’t have iTerm and Vim.

Same, Waterworld is one of my all time favorites!

Yeah, I tried it in 2 different browsers where it didn’t work and then decided to check the comments. I’m not putting Chrome on my machine.

“Yeah, does not sound like a SFW click to me. I’ll read the comments first at least.” - My Icelandic brain while scrolling HN.

Nice that it’s installable Homebrew. It’s very fast comparing to other GUI editors. Happy to see Vim mode and would love to see more of Vim commands enabled. I can see that you can open splits, but you can’t specify what file to open in a split. But you can move the splits around with the same shortcut as Vim. Looks very promising!

Most programmers I know prefer macOS above all other. Is it different where you’re from?

I couldn’t disagree more. Been playing Gran Turismo 7 in PSVR2 with a steering wheel and pedals, the last few days. Why aren’t more games this immersive?

My car is almost 15 years old. I can change every setting in my car without taking my eyes of the road. If my car was a text editor it would be Vim.

Now I just need to access a windows computer to sell my skins and never buy anything valve related again.

After less than a decade of programming around 8-10 hours every day, I could barely use my hands anymore. My forarms and shoulders were like marbles. I even stopped playing musical instruments because moving my finders was torture. Vim and split keybord (Dygma Raise) was my solution. I could feel the difference right away now, almost a year later, I don’t feel any pain at all. I feel lucky because I know people who have had to have surgery.

I use the native feature for this in macOS and iOS a lot!

I don’t see how you could confuse ][Bracket with the well established brand []Brackets. Also checkout my webapps WynnAmp and MichaelSoft Wurd.

I’m Icelandic and I always thought that playing Hnefatafl was a expression for fighting, since it directly translates to “Fist Chess”
