agree with this thread, and i think it comes from exactly the right kind of practical perspective. but also i was to say a consequence of this is that, if they've done the work, the weirder the game is, the more accessible to non-gamers it is @jaytholen/1522575502086660096Permalink Look on archive.org

@WritNelson kinda - I mean, if the player is saying "I win" and the DM is saying "no you don't", then that's not roleplaying, that's an argument. and it's also (to go to something like roleplaying but without dice) terrible improv.Permalink Look on archive.org

there's so much potential there. if your different devices could run different applications, all operating on the same folder of files, but also the folder is kept synced between them.Permalink Look on archive.org

which is kind of possible now! if you just have Apple devices and you use iCloud, then that can work. or you use Dropbox. maybe. but all of these things are kind of fussy to set up, and have to be set up outside of the software that uses them.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
and, of course, all of these things require that you put your data onto a large company's servers, and probably pay them some money to keep the data safe. maybe it's just because i'm rich & online, but i usually have a device online already. i don't really need the central serverPermalink Look on archive.org
-
the other limitation of Dropbox/iCloud, and Syncthing as is - is it only works if you actually have a folder of files to point to. what if you wanted to edit these files from a webapp? no technical reason you couldn't pull the files down, edit them, and sync them up.Permalink Look on archive.org

why make a website that talks Syncthing rather than one that just has a backend service, like a normal website? sure, sure, own your data & all that. but more: because that way, the hosting costs become nominal @v21/1482332073553801217Permalink Look on archive.org

wondering why I refactor so much more in Rust than in other languages (Typescript, Dart, JS & C# are my main comparisons here)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
it's possible it's just because I'm less fluent in Rust - I have to work harder to get it to work, and so after it does work I then go over and remove the infelicities I would've avoided on the first pass otherwisePermalink Look on archive.org
-
another thing is that if it compiles, it probably works. and that goes doubly if you're refactoring code that already does basically the right thing. "fearless refactoring" and all that.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
but maybe it's that both of these add together to make the language feel like a little puzzle, satisfying to scratch the itch of. the same way that Zachtronics games make you want to go back and fix your answer to make them a little more elegant post-solve.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@hipsterelectron mmm - there's some of that, but a lot of the refactors are higher level. eg: i just decided to break two similar integrity checks into separate functions, and not overload the same error if they fail.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@0x21376B00 yeah, i'm only counting refactors here as stuff that happens after i have it compiling and workingPermalink Look on archive.org
-
maybe it's just that the code feels more "solid". compact, not so malleable. i've spent most of this month writing mostly Rust and it boils down to about 1k LOC. makes you want to get it right, whereas the corresponding Dart code I feel I could move around much more easily.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@waferbaby it was objectively not the best choice for this project, but I'm doing it in Rust anyway because I wanted to! that might answer your questionPermalink Look on archive.org

the answer is: if you double click the cell, then any text you paste is interpreted just as text, no formatting involved. but if you simply *click* the cell, then only magic happens.Permalink Look on archive.org

@ashleygodbold that does work! but also i don't have dextrous enough fingers to do that consistently, i'm gonna use the other workaround instead (double click so you're editing the value rather than the cell)Permalink Look on archive.org
