I see a lot of these attempts at getting a model to replicate a classic game. I'm sure this is a use case with some interest, not everyone wants to spin up an emulator, but it strikes me as odd. Rather than English being the new high level language for programming, the LLMs is handed a finished game as a specification and asked to copy it.

That gets you past the problem of the lack of specificity in English, but requires you to already have the thing you want to get made. At least tokens are cheap.

This fix means that you won't notice when you accumulate other such resource leaks. When the shit eventually hits the fan, you'll have to deal with problems you didn't even knew you had.

These are the same noises that were made on the right prior to the election. As long as people are sufficiently mad about the status quo, the other party has a chance to take over.

This topic has been written about in more depth by people who didn't try to work it out by themselves.

The classical artists color wheel is based on pigments. Printers use dyes. Screens use light. That's the whole reason why the primaries are different. The wheels are just tools.

I don't think we disagree it's just a different perspective. The forced handling or propagation is what makes them annoying, but I think they're conceptually wrong.

It would be another matter if they were designed such that you could fix an issue and continue the call on the happy branch, but I suspect the cases where something like that would be applicable are very few.

> But importance of the failure is determined completely by the program, not the library.

Exactly. I think this is the real crux about what's wrong with checked exceptions. It puts the responsibility to decide what exceptions are important on the library, where it doesn't belong. Only the user of the library knows that.

It's more of an issue the more network-y and multi-cpu your ecosystem is. I find the post rather banal and obvious. The state is literally the how and what.

I have made ice cream like this using Gellan as a stabilizer. It's just too much of a pudding to melt. It's not really what you want in an ice cream. You at least want it to melt completely in mouth temperatures.

His first mistake was to read back the verification number? Why would they legitimately asked for this theoretically?

To verify he has the phone they just called him on?

You should never have to read back a verification code.

We used to laugh at the tin-foil hat people. Maybe they were just ahead of their times.

I remember well the movement that impressed me the most. The elaborate changing of direction when running and then turning. It looked so natural, and it was the first time I'd seen that in a game.

Most platformers still violate conservation of momentum and let you change direction in mid air.

This would've made an awesome SciFi short story.

The twist at the end is that she's lying.

You also need a CRT or at least some sort of strobing refresh display to eliminate smearing from persistence of vision.

This takes me back!

But it feels kinda wrong to have that mouse cursor and have it not move perfectly smooth.
