Not really answered in the paper... were those levels fun to play? The "Levels Evaluation" seemed a little lackluster too.

Back in early 2000 I ran a Quake server that generated levels that were decent. It would build a new one ever 15 minutes so when playing you would always find yourself in a new map regularly. I spent time tweaking it for fun and diversity which were the interesting bit. I didn't want to play the same level type over and over with guns just slightly shifted, but to play a wide range of experiences some of which were very surprising.

It would be nice if at home routers made this easy to do too

So the question would be what type of game could be made with that type of team today?

Yup, and they are willing to bet you will take a 3% yearly raise rather than look for another job.

Whats the demand?

So I memorized my private key. Revive me and I will tell you and you will get all my coins.

I bought the ones that are round cut so yeah they are the jewelry quality ones you probably saw. I might end up turning a few into a set of earnings or a necklace or something. It was tempting to get a rod of raw ruby and smash it or something, but it is also just cool to show off a pile of rubies cut and ready to put into jewelry that I am just using as tokens in a mining board game. :D

Real rubies I awesome. I picked up 50 of them that are 1cm in size to replace the plastic ones that come in my board games. The weight of them in my hand is unexpected. The upside had to be when I brought them to work and got to pore a pile of real rubies into someones hands. Only "downside" is that even though they are really hard, they can scratch each other. But eh they are cheap enough that I just tossed them in a velvet bag and in the board game box.

> They also might think, does she really enjoy tech, is she a nerd like me, or is she just looking for a cushy office job in software that the "diversity/women-in-X" groups are so loudly promoting.

Hell I think that about all my colleagues whatever their gender is. Seen plenty of males don't really want to code, but it pays too well to not.

> My own theory, is that CS (programming) is perceived as having low social status.

A colleague told me when out at a bar he refrains from telling women that he is a programmer because they suddenly become way more interested because they know how much $$$ programming jobs bring in. That does not sound like low social status signalling to me, but the opposite at least for males.

What was the best/worst part about getting it to work in WebAssembly?

I rarely code in Clojure, but I do use EDN and whenever I see new standards I always compare it to EDN.

Before movies, why not insert friends into your video game?

Or how about creating a company that sells profiles each of which would be a collection of high quality photos/videos. In turn if you have a video game or movie you can get a random actor with the body you want and swap the face with the face you want?

Or even better create a service where individuals can upload their own photos which they can get some of the profit if their profile is used.
