I don’t believe I’ve ever seen shape utilized in generated ASCII art
Ah, someone’s never seen 8088 Corruption. The encoder was a brute-force comparison of source pixels with downscaled / blended characters in CGA’s few available colors.
… wait, AAlib definitely uses shape. Is the author just new to ASCII art?
Killer effort, regardless.
If ignoring them worked, we’d be fine.
You know it’s crazy, someone just told me that’s more dangerous than having them do nothing.
Experts who enjoy doing [blank] the hard way don’t enjoy the tool that lets novices do [blank] at a junior level.
Somehow this means the tool is completely worthless and nobody should ever use it.
I think the majority of Lemmy users are American or expect American news to dominate. The thing you’re complaining about only happens because of that.
Given that everyone’s first assumption is that it’s about the US Supreme Court, obviously no. You have to meet people where they are.
Even for domestic US news, the same shit happens for state versus federal governments. Sometimes on websites that namedrop cities and politicians but don’t bother mentioning what fucking state they’re in.
As if misleading headlines are the audience’s fault.
Folks, they train on Disney movies. Intellectual property is not a factor.

Software path-tracing has been on my bucket list, mostly to test a concept: physically based instant radiosity. If an eye-ray goes camera, A, B, C, then the light C->B forms an anisotropic point source. The material at B scatters light from C directly into onscreen geometry. This allows cheating akin to photon mapping, where you assume nearby pixels are also visible to B. Low-frequency lighting should look decent at much less than one sample per pixel.
It doesn’t use any mappers or added chips. There’s quicksaves, a level editor. jump-in two-player co-op, and SNES mouse support.
I have not been arsed to add music.
I have officially lost the plot on what’s happening here.
Oh damn, we’re back to custom Windows 95 boot screen bitmaps. I had one that did the Matrix digital rain effect.
It’s object-oriented; you can assign this to a named variable.

Javascript straddling the middle as usual.
“Just” read documentation, says someone assuming past documentation is accurate, comprehensible, and relevant.
I taught myself QBASIC from the help files. I still found Open Watcom’s documentation frankly terrible, bordering useless. There’s comments in the original Doom source code lamenting how shite the dead-tree books were.
Due to some disagreements—some recent; some tolerated for close to 2 decades—with how collaboration should work, we’ve decided that the best course of action was to fork the project
Okay, that was always allowed!
Programming is the weirdest place for kneejerk opposition to anything labeled AI, because we’ve been trying to automate our jobs for most of a century. Artists will juke from ‘the quality is bad!’ to ‘the quality doesn’t matter!’ the moment their field becomes legitimately vulnerable. Most programmers would love if the robot did the thing we wanted. That’s like 90% of what we’re looking for in the first place. If writing ‘is Linux in dark mode?’ counted as code, we’d gladly use that, instead of doing some arcane low-level bullshit. I say this as someone who has recently read through IBM’s CGA documentation to puzzle out low-level bullshit.
You have to check if it works. But if it works… what is anyone bitching about?
Hell, I’m relieved when someone beat me to it. Means I can check it off my to-do list.
‘I bet you could combine Wine and QEMU’ was on there for a while, and oh thank god, FEX is serious business now.
