I really enjoyed "Samorost 3" by the same developers. Machinarium still takes the cake though.

I stopped doing these years ago, but apparently I've posted 370 Dweets! Pretty happy with this one: https://www.dwitter.net/d/7421 It's always fun just spending 10 minutes slamming together some trig function

Thanks. It was just a fun exercise and I had fun writing about it.

Haha thank you, I was quite pleased with the outcome. It's good, cause getting the animated emojis working would be pretty involved :P

I'm the OP, and I have to pitch in here. This comment is a bit unhinged, basically claiming that every WIP GUI library written in Rust sucks on principle. This is false, and there are some very good ongoing efforts that will probably b

Hey, I'm the author of the post. Thanks for reading! Appreciate it :) I think QML is very easy to get started with and you should just give it a go. It's not without its weirdness as other comments have already mentioned, and unfo

A lot of apps people use these days are cloud-first and automatically save all the time, so there's not even a save button to have a floppy icon for! The icon to say that it's synced looks like a cloud, and if you're using a

I strongly suspect I know what that does because I worked with Svelte 4 for years (you no longer have to do this in Svelte 5. I can recommend Svelte 5, it's nice). Basically, assigning a state to itself tells it to signal that that sta

While you're at it, go on a huge tangent writing a library that allows one implementation to work as both an X11 and Wayland compositor. Actually why stop there? Make said library also compile to a full screen Windows and Macos applica

This is a pretty neat idea, and shows that maybe a desktop environment could be a lot more flexible than we're used to if it was based on something flexible. Not exactly counter intuitive. I'd like to see how complex a CEF-based W

by yokljo 10mo ago
Haha nice! It's a good library, and it's flexible enough that you can extend the syntax of JS however you like (with some difficulty, as it's not exactly documented). I experimented with adding my own type system to JS by usi

Oh you must think you are reading Hacker News, sorry about that, this is actually AI Optimism News.

Nice. I built something basically just like this for work for the same reason last year. It only look a few hours though, cause I just used Acorn [0] to parse my JS, then directly evaluated the AST. It also had an iteration limit and other

I think most popular languages were started as an experiment in some feature, or to solve a specific problem someone had. Those are good reasons to make a language. I see no reason to make a language just to take attention away from other e

Agreed. It's nice to be able to just use the provided terminal when running KDE. It's very customisable and runs plenty fast. I also love being able to right click on Dolphin and tell it to open Konsole in the current folder. Also

I've been thinking about this for a minute, and I think if an American were to say "why", and take only the most open vowel sound from that word and put it between "k" and "m", you get a pretty decent Aust

This is basically asking for a response that's just the original comment but with "KDE" and "Gnome" switched. I personally find KDE to look very nice and bring a much better and less clunky user experience than Gnom

People typing faster can make a huge difference at work: I get asked for help a lot, and when I ask someone to do something on their computer and they do it painfully slowly, that can represent a lot more time that I spend helping them rath

I second Bitwig. It even works a little bit better on Linux in some ways than on Windows!

This is false. TypeScript does not add any run time checks, but it does encourage you to add some yourself.

by yokljo 5y ago
That's pretty much exactly my setup. On top of that I make sure I can do most important things with just my left hand: I use Ctrl+F1/2/3 as is default in KDE (Firefox on F1, editor of F2 usually), but then I rebind stuff to t

What I find most interesting about your comment is the words "something most of us are familiar with", because it implies that consciousness is a two-way communication. It affects the physical world: If it didn't, then you wo

Yes, but the comment could mislead people, so I clarified it.

This comment could mislead people: The linked article explicitly says that * and [] are identical when used in function arguments. It then goes on to suggest a possible syntactical change for the C language where the [] syntax would be a fa

Rust's borrow checker is not only for multi threading and memory safety. It allows someone designing an API for any kind of data structure to guarantee that the user is using it correctly, by making their code not compile when they are

Well the two things are the part where physics does stuff, then the other part is where you become aware of it (whatever that even is, but you experience it none-the-less. Let's call it the consciousness). Random assumptions/obser

How could you possibly know that you "became aware" of anything without some information being sent back from that-thing-that-became-aware? You know it so well that you are even able to comment about it. I think the fact that peop

Another fun implication if it really were aerial-like, is that our consciousness would have a sort of "maximum bandwidth". I think this theory is actually pretty convincing. It would be awful if you were conscious of every single

by yokljo 8y ago
What if your consciousness exists outside your physical brain, and within your brain is basically an aerial that is "tuned to your frequency", so no matter where you are your brain will always communicate with the same consciousne
