This is impressive but I don't get it. All that work and you have a game written in JS of all things. Why not write it in a desktop language und port it to JS. Now this will always need a browser to run, feels like a waste of time to me.

Whats so crazy about it though? Intuitively it seems very likely to me that all possible states of 2028 would fit into a 64 bit number.
4x4 = 16 tiles, 64/16 = 4 bits, 16 powers of two = space for 0-65536 per tile.
So going up to only 2048 would leave some room even.

This still of programming does not adhere to MVC though, you can't ever swap out the frontend because it's basically merged to the backend and I suspect complex to debug simmilar to JSF.

I miss these kind of applications. Nowadays everything is flat tons of wasted space, unresponsive and eats 300mb ram because it runs on electron. Just compare windows 11 task manager to windows 2000 task manager.

Not at all. Any song on youtube uploaded in the last 5-10 years is as good as a 320 kbit mp3. Why would it be with the bandwidth anyone has to today?

Apparently in germany they caught a pedo like that. Watching certain nodes and the sizes of files that are sent between them to identify the admin of a pedophile image sharing forum. Took them 1 1/2 years to identify the specific person, but they got him.
Considering this I would imagine it's pretty safe for the average user since they have to specifically target you for a long time, however it seems like with enough effort it's possible to identify someone even without Clearnet slip-ups like it was the case with Silkroad.
Once they have your address they will just storm your house and catch you on the computer, then you are done for.

1. Doesn't look like fluid at all
2. Goes down to 40 FPS on my computer
Granted this is web, but I think I can simulate that many particles with a simple loop in java on 60 FPS.

How is this a trick question? Maybe I am dumb but I would have no idea how to solve this.

UTF-8 is downward compatible to ASCII, so anything that is just a standard character (like every character in this comment) is just a byte.

I am on the fence with this, maybe there should be research to create safer alternatives to the illegal recreational drugs. They are trying to make amphetamines and opioids that are safer and not as recreational for medical purposes. Why not make it safe and try to keep the recreational aspect of it. I am sure this can't ever be achieved 100%, but lots of people would probably rather buy some pure milder stimulant instead of random powder from a street dealer. Same with cannabis, the THC content on legal plants should have a limit on the THC content.

For the psychedelics this is very true, I enjoy mostly low doses. But I am not so sure about the MDMA. If I didn't have enough to get "over the hill" it always felt it's about to come on now but it never does it's just a very dissapointing limbo state. Even worse, redosing after that won't get you the full effect either for that night (maybe because some serotonin was already depleted at that point).

That might be, but then don't wonder if people look at you strange if you tell them you got burnout from a job where you never met any colleagues and didn't get paid either.

If you don't get paid to do something it's not fun, how about you just stop doing it?

I disagree. I loved that there were no loading times. I always thought PS1 games felt cheap and slow compared to N64 games. Nobody really used the CD space for game content, they just filled it up with ugly prerendered cutscenes, which I didnt care about.
