@retroremakes wait, i responded without properly watching --- man! I remember playing this in school, and not thought about it since. ahhh!

@increpare I found a library that claims to do Twitter-accurate character counting for CBDQ. Not sure it can split, though...
-
@increpare yep, for sure it is - but I saw your mention of making a tweetable PL, and thought it might be of use anyway.

@NotInventedHere hmm, odd! I could fetch it out the DB if needed. What's the bot called?

@alicemazzy I can think of good theoretical reasons for this not to be the case, although I think layout is accidentally Turing complete.

@alicemazzy generally I am a big fan of Langsec, though.

@alicemazzy yeah, i just saw that. *weak shrug* I still agree with them about Turing completeness, though.

@PIXELATEDCROWN oh no :< so sorry.

Making tools for "The hope of pleasure in the work itself". I am super into this new site by @GalaxyKate casualcreator.com/blog/
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN it'll give you the ability to make riskier attempts to recover the data, which seems worthwhile.
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN the first step I'd take is to use the LiveCD to copy across data using a disk dump tool.
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN there's tools that can then ignore the filesystem and try to recover files by filetype headers
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN an ungodly mess to sort through, but maybe you'll salvage something
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN yeah, you'll see the same thing initially. I'm talking about using something like dd, which copies from below the filesystem
-
@PIXELATEDCROWN then you can do recovery stuff that might write to disk, knowing that you have the original HDD safe.
-
@NotInventedHere @GalaxyKate well, I mean, it's basically just Tracery, so it's obviously going to share a lot of values.
-
@NotInventedHere @GalaxyKate there's a post I wrote about my design approach here: v21.io/blog/tools-for-novices/
-
@NotInventedHere @GalaxyKate I didn't conceptualize it as "casual creator", quite, but a lot of the features are common across them.
-
@NotInventedHere @GalaxyKate there's a kind of tension in my post about "encouraging higher-level tools" and "enjoying for it's own sake".

@fromsmiling ogg & mp3 can have the same quality, but there's sometimes licensing issues with mp3 decoders, which is why people use ogg.
-
@fromsmiling (but mp3 can sometimes be decoded in h/w, ie on iOS, in which case it's preferable)
-
@fromsmiling wav is for small clips where you don't want to pay the cost of decompressing
-
@fromsmiling also with the h/w decoders, they can usually only do one clip at a time, so you drop to software
-
@fromsmiling in short: it doesn't really matter, whatever works

"No two species can live together in the same ecosystem at the same time if they occupy the same niche."
-
a healthy ecosystem for games implies that all games/game developers will have to find different niches.

that doesn't just mean audiences, that can also mean funding models. finding an unoccupied niche you can thrive in, that's the challenge.

@HarryGiles I assume you mean the Libary of Babel, and me? If it makes you feel better, I tweeted it with no via at all.
-
Thinking more about searching the Library of Babel. It transforms the problem, while leaving it the same.
-
Previously, you had to go on a weary trudge through the shelves, hunting out a gleam of intelligibility within the volumes.
-
Now intelligible words are easily found. But all you find is what you look for - English text stops meaning and just becomes more entropy.
-
Now there enters a mapping between shelfmark& page number and text. Each holds as much information as the other.
-
Who is to say which one has more meaning? Maybe the text is merely a way of compressing the address, representing it more compactly.
-
@leighalexander haha
-
@leighalexander I was just trying to find a just-insulting-enough way to imply you'd become an Internet Commenter.
-
It makes explicit that the true form of the library is a mapping.
-
The search function allows you to see the map. But a map as big as the territory is not a useful map.
-
(The process of making a useful map is the process of making sense of the landscape, semantically chunking it. The Library has no semantics)

The double trap of small permanent distractions from both the small stressful tasks you have to do and the larger pleasures away from them.
-
The only solution I know is not to feel bad about this, the worst behaviour I regularly do. That's hard to do.
-
I wish my work let me go cold turkey from the Internet. It might be a symptom, but it's also a habit.
-
@hoskingc different thing, but thinking about Adventure Time, Steven Universe, etc
-
Been a long time since I read this guide to technical questions catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Since then I've learned it's rubbish advice.
-
Pretty much every time I've put the effort in, I've learned enough to know that no-one who is going to see my question has the answer.
-
I'm really glad for this ecosystem of questions and answers, though. I learn a lot from it. Just never from the questions I ask.
-
@vectorpoem I don't ask questions badly, I just assume that if I have to ask [the Internet as a whole], no-one will have any good answers.
-
@alicemazzy these tweets make me sad I do videogame programming. No matter how hard you try, the essential problem is still a mess of state.
-
@alicemazzy on the other hand... I really like working in a language with compile time type errors and refactoring support.
-
@alicemazzy there's not even any agency in Current Project! There are swipe controls, though.
-
@johnokane usually my questions boil down to : "this thing is just broken, right?"
-
@alicemazzy first language we were taught at uni! And yeah, Haskell is a language where you basically write all your type definitions...
-
@alicemazzy fix them up if the compiler complains they're inconsistent, then do a little trivial filling in of logic afterwards.
-
@alicemazzy tho you should look up Haskell videogame tutorials. The way they handle state is amazing.
-
@ntlk much easier task than having to fix a particular bug, imo
-
@vectorpoem it was an arc that was always built on getting bought out. there's no incentive in that arc to make something of lasting value.
-
@InfiniteStates should be this week or next - we'll be having our first proper look through tonight.

@reallyfancy @makeplaycode you're a dangerous woman, Kerry.

What?! The notebook I was really irritated to have lost turns out to have been in my bag this whole time?

@haikus_by_KN at least 6! I am also delighted.

@hannahnicklin @KommanderKlobb ah, I use a thingy and watch it off American Netflix.

@katierosepipkin the theory pages are some of the best writing on Borges I've ever read.

I am actually really quite surprised to discover that Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist has recommended me good stuff. But it has.
-
This might be the only time I have been impressed by an algorithmic music discovery system.
-
@asponge you've got great taste, Alice

like, if I wasn't going to a party at my Dad's, it would have resulted in me going to this alldayer this weekend songkick.com/concerts/24120029-spook-school-at-shacklewell-arms?utm_source=8123&utm_medium=partner

Still remember the boss, who, when I phoned in ill on the day of the work party, told me I should still turn up in the evening if I could.

Life is stressful rn, but I just made and ate some good risotto, current work is "look up cool games" & S is coming round in a bit. s'ok.
-
@jabelsjabels I don't have a strong preference! This had some brie stirred in after the fact, because S is lactose intolerant.

@jabelsjabels what's best? what should i be doing?

Wish I bought that swish business card holder when I was in Muji...

@ntlk I arrived early couldn't get in. So I went to a cafe and had a cup of tea and sent some emails. 7/10.

@caraellison how many of these emails do you get?!

@mjmcmaster i keep telling people about Potoooooooo

@prehensile sadly not! but if you wanted to host a bot yourself, and extend it so it does, github.com/v21/tracerybot might be a good start?
-
@prehensile i've been mulling over ways to allow replies, but it's a tricky thing. very aware of the complexity cost of interface & hosting.
-
@jennatar are you boasting?
-
@mjmcmaster no-one seems to care?

@JFriedhoff I still go back to this sometimes when I need cheering up

this tweet was somewhat inarticulate about why I like brutalism. I'm gonna do a whole bunch of RTs about that.
-
RT @Cyarron: Let's have a quick chat re: "Brutalism" 1) it isn't named for brutality. "béton brut" = "raw concrete" in French http://t.co/…

Sunday, I was thinking about this walking around the Cranbrooke Estate. No accident it's an architecture of public buildings, not corporate.
-
On the Cranbrooke Estate: loved this essay on it and the modern problem of housing: lrb.co.uk/v36/n01/james-meek/where-will-we-live.
-
@JFriedhoff the same way you would any other work? this is overly glib.
-
@JFriedhoff but algorithmic work usually suggests a context for enjoying it in. enjoy it, and judge it as part of that context.
-
@JFriedhoff sometimes it's an idea that is satisfying to see made real, like libraryofbabel.info/ or @everybird_.
-
@JFriedhoff sometimes it's more immediate, like @GenerateACat or ianmaclarty.itch.io/reflection - so judge the experience produced.
-
@JFriedhoff the algorithm is only relevant insofar as it affects the experience, whatever that is. Critique the experience.
-
@JFriedhoff hm! So there's two things here: playacting that the robot has intent (valid), and acknowledging ultimate human control.
-
@JFriedhoff the word choice is important! I see a lot of cheapbotsdonequick.com bots (obv). Some are just much better written than others?

@hoskingc the thing i most love about the Barbican is all of the plants

@unfortunatalie i tend to think that the defining quality of a dick is not wondering whether they're a dick. so: you should be good?

@Poxican I've used a thermal printer before. Hooks up to an Arduino/serial port, there's standard libraries for them.
-
@Poxican which generally allow you to push text, special formatting characters down - not done bitmap stuff.
-
@Poxican but seconding asking @j3rrytron - he's the expert.
-
@Poxican they might be! But USB-serial cables are a thing. But equally a Teensy is only £20, and might make the development story easier.
-
I'm off to GDC Europe next week, showing @FabBeasts at the European Innovative Games Showcase. If you want to play it there, let me know!
-
This goes double if you're an Indiecade juror ;)
-
@LudiciousFest @FabBeasts Officially just showing at the showcase itself - but I'll have the game with me, so we can meet up and play.
-
@asponge But this would be a rad thing for next time...
-
And general recommendations for cool parties, things I should see if I get a spare few hours in Cologne, etc, very much welcome.
