The community created a playground here: https://pkl-playground.vercel.app/ You can try it out and see what it generates.

I think this an area where AI generation can help a lot. Big studios will still do things by hand for better quality and less constraints, but for indies, generating a character with "stylized cell-shaded human character under X polygo

We'll soon have the "Mad AI's Disease". Though with the current level of hallucinations some LLMs have they are already half way there.

Nah. Common -> Magic -> Rare -> Legendary. If you are gonna copy ARPG item tiers, do it right. They could also add a Unique tier, but that would have a limit of 1 per customer.

I'm paying ~10 bucks for spotify to stream music non stop. I'm also paying netflix some ~16 bucks for 4K movies/series. There's no way a text search is more expensive than a 4k, 5.1 channels movie. I'm using Kagi si

No, you cannot. var foo: (T | None) | None = None Which None do you mean here? This is just basic logic: (X or Y) or Y <=> X or Y Untagged unions cannot model that. Contrast it with tagged unions: var foo: Option<Option<T>&gt

In Ruby? It's hell! What are those parameters? Which methods does it support? Is it nil? In Clojure? A breeze. Data is just data, no behaviour. Destructuring shows what a function requires right in the parameter definition. You are alr

Disclaimer: this is just my opinion, I have no idea what the actual reason is. I think the problem is not malice nor stupidity. Most youtube users are non-technical/layman people who don't really know what they want. They type &qu

That's the reason I don't use kagi. I even sent them an email to ask about it and the response was "pay per person". A shame really, I was really happy with kagi in the beta.
