The potential for benevolence of a market is lesser than an enlightened individual.

I guess we will know it when we see it. Its like saying computer graphics got so good that we have holodeck now. We dont have holodeck yet. We don't have AGI yet.

Its base64. Its not an encryption.

Disregard them cadet, you have my go ahead.

And metallurgy support to actually build something more than a toy.

> Like if a NPC mentions something not already in game, generate a proxy and turn it into a quest?

This does not sound trivial

Cool scientists and detectives roll around in Minivans with their telescope and listening devices.

A great game I play which was relatively recently released (HROT) is written in Pascal.

Is Pharo/SmallTalk/Interlisp a fake OS?

VSCode is slow as heck and a needless memory hog. Something like VS6.0 or Code Warrior with crisper fonts would be my first choice on a graphical interface.

How much power is needed to beam back the results from that distance? I ask because I suppose the probes are going to be very small.

The grass in the lawn may not be that dangerous to other people. However, if your house is emitting radiation, and a hero breaks in to clean it up for the sake of other people you service, (because the town does not need to wait for you to hire someone) the hero deserves a reward and the owner of the house deserves punishment.

Communes exist. The internet is supposed to be a giant commune of researchers watching each others backs.

A little off-topic, but I am rather disappointed by software taking cool stuff names. As soon as I looked at the title, my first thought went to an actual flywheel (A mechanical power storage system). A flywheel in space powering some unnatural energy beam is a Vader-esque evil-cool-evil system I frequently imagine.

What does Rust offer here? More people know C++, security stuff from rust comes in the way of rapid exploratory development and arguably, C++ templates (don't think they are used here, moot point I know) are much more superior to rust.

Yes, it could be phrased like the above, but from what I have experienced in day to day school life, people usually ask "What's three into four?" or even more likely an incomplete fill in the blank question "Three fours are?"

We usually say "three fours are twelve"

Instead of "three times four is twelve"

I would really love to try my hands on something much more physical, like a robot; or a drone with autopilot; maybe accurate simulation of flight dynamics of a spaceplane with programmable GNC parameters?

I have a copy of "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics" by Bate, Mueller et al and I would love to do something with it this holiday season.

I say simulation because all the rest of the stuff seems to cost a lot. I am really interested in the GNC aspect of robots, and would love some good pointers on the topic!

The most British name belongs to Lord British.

Of course. Its in our solar system. Although it is very far away, if we get on to it, we can plan it at a huge cost.

Neptune also has a ring.

Jupiter also has ring, but it is not apparent.

I always confuse the subject with the radio technology LoRaWAN

Carmack the pizza guy. He did not have any computer science education at a formal institute.

The same attitude brought us adaptation of linux. So IDK

Gold does not require much infrastructure or utility to keep existing, and it is operable by anyone with hands or less.

Physics engines are the real holy grail of graphics. Full interactivity is compute intensive and requires (Carmack, Ryg, Abrash) levels of genius.

Yes, there are still bugs, but Cyberpunk is actually great now, and the new expansion Phantom Liberty is chef's kiss.

It will evaporate relatively immediately. So no tides.

Not the OP, but I do not like reading one line expression bonanzas. I would rather read implementations of different subsystems and then calling them.

I mean, I find this simpler

procedure x_component .. end

procedure y_component .. end

procedure assembly x_component y_component .. end

In python, rust, C++, java, lisp people seem to form very long procedures with lambdas and some ninja fu to save lines of code and it may look elegant to some people, but I can't read it.
