Competition is only cooperation's favorite strategy.
(By choosing from competing groups we select more favorable cooperation partners, because there are too many to choose from.)
Both of our statements are true. darned doublethink.
i just lost the game.
The younger Terry, unencumbered by dementia, would likely have loved the idea of analyzing his writing for most scientific purposes, he co-wrote multiple scientific fiction books together with physicists and other science communicators.
I actually regret making him upset, i did not know about his troubles at the time and i would not make the same (completely unrelated to his ailment) joke knowing about it, neither would i have brought his first book if i knew he disliked it.
Just imagine having your head full of a world you created, a world filled with more stories than you could ever write down, and realizing that you will never get a chance to do so and that it will all fade before you can share it. That experience must be extremely painful and for sure leads to changes in personality traits.
Right before i had my turn he signed the book of my girlfriend and he also signed her journal even though there was a strict "only one book per person" rule. When she asked him if he would sign the journal as well he said "I would even sign your hand, madam". This is the Terry i will remember, the charming and incredibly witty person that bestowed upon me the best stories i have ever enjoyed.
GNU Terry Pratchett, for Death can not have him!
the future.
things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
won't be nothing (won't be)
nothing you can measure anymore

i've seen the nations rise and fall,
i've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival.
...
and all the lousy little poets coming round
trying to sound like charlie manson
...
give me back the berlin wall
give me stalin and st. paul
i've seen the future, siblings
it is murder

edit: tried to fix the formatting
my profile, on the same server, loads fine.
you just need a div directly below body, then you can actually enable it as a hud in augmented reality.
at the moment we only use it to show announcements to the visitors, but i also have tested buttons with event listeners attached and you can even console.log from there.
html
<html>
<body>
<canvas id="three-canvas"></canvas>
<div id="hud">
<button>Will be visible in ar</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
js const xrSession = await window.navigator.xr.requestSession('immersive-ar', {
// ...requiredFeatures,
domOverlay: {
root: $('#hud'),
},
})
css #three-canvas {
z-index: 999;
}
#hud {
z-index: 1000;
}
edit: use window.navigator instead of W.NAV, my custom "window" global. const onResize = () => {
const { innerWidth: w, innerHeight: h } = window
camera.aspect = w / h
camera.updateProjectionMatrix()
renderer.setSize(w, h)
}
window.addEventListener('resize', onResize)guess they play/pause functionality does not check if there is something to play/pause.
@steelbrain: should be quite easy to fix.
