@hutiaweta @MammonMachine Not played it, but based on reading karineskoog.com/thehunter-call-of-the-wild-designing-believable-simulated-animal-ai/ maybe theHunter : Call Of The Wild would scratch an itch.

@jasonx1e @badmanatee @aaaaporiaaaa @wsisaac @benhamner Probably? Also there's a systematic bias towards not prosecuting white collar crime, which has less of a gender split.

@jasonx1e @badmanatee @aaaaporiaaaa @wsisaac @benhamner I mean, cool that that specific stat happened to match up. But maybe let's do that kind of work on all the stats we throw into a computer.

@Coleo_Kin hmmm! interesting. looking at this from a NPT perspective, where a bunch of our point is blurring those boundaries, i like this change.

@hunkspouse gifs of ARKit demos on Twitter, realising it could be powerful for a future project (conceived without it), seeing big tech cos buying in
-
@hunkspouse mainly: it gives a powerful new interface paradigm to phones. that's enough to be important!
-
@digitalsqand I like interacting with computers in ways that involve moving more of your body.
-
@digitalsqand Yeah, but not for fundamental reasons. The hardware is more affordable and easier to build into an exhibition.

@lorenschmidt @eevee i guess with turn-based it's practical to just recompute the stat every time it's used/every turn

@Robin_B @nathan_cypher @j3rrytron @ElectricObjects Yeah, they sold to Giphy. Maybe you can get one on eBay or something, though I don't know about the backend/if they've been hacked open.

@Robin_B @nathan_cypher @j3rrytron @ElectricObjects tbh, a raspberry pi in a case attached to the back of a nice monitor would not be too hard to setup
-
@nathan_cypher @Robin_B @j3rrytron @ElectricObjects i have heard horror stories about getting them to reliably start software/keep running unattended over long periods of time.
-
@nathan_cypher @Robin_B @j3rrytron @ElectricObjects so if you have extreme requirements there it's worth looking further/digging in (ie, sending off art to galleries with no tech staff etc)

@sheilamu congratulations!

@KommanderKlobb pee dee eff!
-
@PeteOlympian yeah, this is sensible (i have a big text file of application chunks / bios for a similar reason)
-
@NotInventedHere recruiters hate pdfs because they're hard to edit (to remove your name/contact details, so the co. can't bypass them)
-
@NotInventedHere and presumably the covering letter is easier to keep on file as a file than as a chunk of text (that they'd have to format)

@KommanderKlobb i like it when people attach a CV, that's what i asked for

currently rewriting something that was written to be read by me out loud into something that is written for other people to read

i'm trying to spot patterns, to learn more about why some things work in one mode but not the other.

i guess mainly it's about making sentences actually delineated and complete, and adding precision where "kinda a weird thing" once was

also, adding capitalization

-
@iainlobb yeah, it's definitely not inherent.but for me, the reason that insta post is fucked up is it's all about denying his shame about his desire.

@iainlobb it's not "look at my beautiful wife" it's "I'm definitely not ashamed to be attracted to my not-skinny wife". that's my reading, anyway.

@_never_work Not done yet, but I think I've solved the large conceptual problems. That's a week of work.
-
@_never_work the thing is, i agree with all these changes.. if you assume that everything has a team of people constantly working on all the bits of code
-
@_never_work but the idea you can write code, and it'll just... continue to work, for years to come. that takes some real strategy to achieve.

@_never_work and the people who are loudest - they're the people with teams, they're the cos with hubris, burning VC cash to stay cutting edge

sad to discover most of the design docs for Legible London have disappeared from the internet (see refs at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legible_London) cc @TfL
-
@ColinNorthway i think if you see it in context (here is map <lean to the left> here is mapped) then up-is-forwards is best
-
@ColinNorthway a little compass rose on the maps themselves helps give a cue to those who did not know either way
-
@ColinNorthway and one tiny feature you can steal from the TfL miniliths - the base of them has a small compass rose pointing north too.
-
@ColinNorthway yeah, you have to decide to decide on a North. if relative bearings between points is important, then that feels worthwhile?
-
@ColinNorthway oh, yeah, that probably wins out, agreed. esp if it's small enough that map is always a full map.

@spacetreasured look, games take a long time to make, okay?
-
@shahidkamal i generally think that large companies establishing themselves as well defended platforms, then taking a decent chunk of every transaction..
-
@shahidkamal ...within an entire sector is bad. 30% is pretty fair within that. Steam is not being abusive with their position. but it's still bad.
-
@shahidkamal i'd always prefer to live in a world with open markets and competition than one where several companies ultimately control things.
-
@shahidkamal to get explicitly political about it: it's a hindrance to free expression, and it's a means by which capital accumulates.

the process of asking a coworker to test a thing so as to confirm the thing that you hoped was fine isn't actually fine and should be better

@shahidkamal yeah, i mean, i do what i can (i use an android phone, v21.io/calmingsphere). but i can't boycott iOS & make mobile games for a living.

@shahidkamal &... "there's always the browser" is not an immutable fact, and needs fighting for.
-
@shahidkamal yeah, count me one of them. i ultimately think this line sums the 30% thing:
-
@maxkreminski this is generally a good chain of thoughts - but i don't think walking about is the only way of doing this.
-
@maxkreminski Bonsai Barber is a good counterexample, I think. (I have spent a lot of time thinking about minimal Crossinglikes)
-
@shahidkamal because it's 50-75% of the marketplace for digital PC games
-
@maxkreminski yeah, that's a great comparison, too. depends how far you're willing to stray from AC in pursuit of reduced scope, i think?
-
@maxkreminski this connects with twitterbots, even - i thought a lot about surprise and depth making @manygradients & @softlandscapes

@adrianhon baaaasically. definitely worth thinking if you want a spicy game or not (ie, if you land in a town or an isolated house)
-
@adrianhon i've picked up tips from people and watching streams (and playing in squad matches!), but nothing crucial
-
@adrianhon rn in solo matches i'm trying to get in more fights, as the thing i'm bad at is killing people
-
@adrianhon i've started playing with friends, so now mainly squad matches. but still some solo, and i played lots of solo before
-
@adrianhon tbh, once you can move, pick up stuff, shoot, etc, you can lose matches in fun and surprising ways and learn new stuff along the way
-
@atduskgreg @adrianhon yeah, that's what i'm doing now. but i think doing some longer games of hiding first were good - like, i know i can get to top 5 now
-
@atduskgreg @adrianhon chicken dinner will probably depend on me being able to kill people relatively reliably when i have the drop on them... but i know that now

@atduskgreg @adrianhon yeah, for sure, spicy short rounds is a better way to learn. but i wouldn't have cared as much about learning if i started that way.

@jwaaaap it's not much less smaller than the sink itself!
