I think it’s a good thing to try and explore how easy or hard it is to build this. It can all translate into building something entirely local, building things at higher quality for less money, or even building things in times of quarantine, trade embargoes, or just lower tech areas.

So… is there any relation to the Marathon that came out in 1994 by Bungie?

Because… the art style genuinely looks awesome but I don’t see anything that reminds me of the original. Not in enemies, or gameplay, or plot, it also seems entirely online multi-player, I see no rogue AI.

Honestly I would be intrigued by the art style alone but… the shameless name grab makes me think it’s gonna flop.

It totally is in my experience. I have literally sat in meetings pushing AI… but absolutely NO steering or discussion on what we ought to do with it. They will relabel related things that have existed for years as AI.

It’s like instead of having a bunch of nails and needing a way to pound them in, we’ve been given a nail gun and a requirement to use it.

“But we sell balloons”

“Dont worry, the nail gun will make everything better”

Nah nah nah, it’s just a different paradigm. It’s like… it’s a different meta, but for programming.

If I was to ELI5, I’d say it’s the difference between making a series of objects that interact with each other (OOP) and and creating a very large console with lots of buttons (functional)

Some problems are much easier object oriented. If you have a video game, building a projectile class and adding different types of projectiles makes things suuuper easy to build. Arrows move slow and deal x damage, beams move super fast and deal y.

Functional can be easier to troubleshoot, also easier to crank out novel things, easier to make secure, and even make simultaneous operations trivial. It has very different problems though. You need to put more effort into eliminating dependencies.

The two do not play well together at all they’re like fire and water. Sometimes you need water to soak something and make it easier to work, sometimes you need heat to melt something and make it easier to work.

Telecommunications like phones or military applications tend to the functional languages, data, video games, and a lot of the popular languages tend to OOP.

The transition between the two is jarring, and infuriating, but a knowledge of both can really improve your design skills.

Depends on the hardness of the tpu. You don’t have to dive into full flexibility

It’s constantly evolving. New communities are getting constantly added, and new servers spun up for different reasons and ethos’ are being spun up every day.

Like seriously, if there was ever a time to do a concerted push for linux, it’s now. Start the campaigns, start the tutorials start the memes and the warnings and get the process down to under an hour. It won’t be a weird thing, it will be the lord and savior allowing your PC to continue even when windows says it can’t.

Is there even a point to which one you pick? I just picked .kbin because I liked the UI, and when that fell apart I moved to .world mostly at random.

Is there really a large difference between them?

Oh my god we just bought a house and I feel this too much.

The previous owners will constantly shift between roberts, phillips, hex, and flathead within the exact same sheet rock wall.

I’m not really ON facebook. But way too many of my friends use it as a way to send invites to events. I literally just pop in every other week to check notifications and see if anybody invited me to anything. It’s kind of infuriating how no other method makes it so easy to just invite 20 people somewhere.

The fediverse doesn’t have a decent calendar/invite solution does it?

It’s like a 90s kid designed it so the hot lady could get the pizza rolls out of the microwave swing on the pole and serve it to them in the hot tub 🤣

Except it needs a lot more colors and jagged shapes on the walls.

I was literally just thinking that. Must’ve been built by a rich guy who likes maids and twitch streamers
