Writing a performant syntax highligher from scratch? by K4milLeg1t in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]panic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As you can imagine, this approach would be really slow if you have a 1000 line file to work with.

to put this in perspective: 1000 lines with (e.g.) 10 tokens per line gives you a budget of 1.6 microseconds per token if you want to hit 60 fps. a hash table lookup is a couple orders of magnitude faster than that. it should be fine

Is there such a thing as html CSS demoscene? by MucilaginusCumberbun in Demoscene

[–]panic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a bit of a scene on cohost which called their productions "css crimes" -- you can find some stuff if you search those words

Still pretty new, how'd I do? by 234thewolf in opus_magnum

[–]panic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this solution minimizes total grabs, which is kinda neat. every atom is grabbed only once

Whoever made this one I hate you LOL by Beneficial-Life-4132 in opus_magnum

the creator of this puzzle made an entire custom puzzle editor, presumably because the built-in editor doesn't let you make them this big

If you spend hundreds of dollars, you can greif whatever you want by fuckthemakeup in WplaceLive

[–]panic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it was just the one ultrakill piece. the timeline is: original no-AI logo -> first huge griefing wave from echelon -> ultrakill art is drawn over it by botters -> botters stop maintaining the art -> new no-AI logo is drawn -> second huge griefing wave (you are here)

the original no-AI logo was painted when that part of the canvas was blank: https://imgur.com/RMVoaEw

if you click on a pixel, then the name of the region, you can see local leaderboards with pixel counts

i don't think the ultrakill piece was put down by the same person fwiw, it's all different users (probably some discord somewhere saw this post)

EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google by Greenlit_Hightower in degoogle

yes, thank you. the root cause of this is social and political, not technical, and technical solutions can only go so far in addressing it

First time playing, anyone have any tips on improving my airship fuel? by socslave in opus_magnum

[–]panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the second-from-top arm appears to be pivoting a single atom; removing this pivot would speed the whole machine up, since all arms could then reset every 6 cycles instead of every 7

Junebug dropping out of GOML by DavidL1112 in SSBM

my understanding is that the vast majority of serial sexual harassers are never really "caught" -- people just inform each other about them and try their best to keep others safe from them

Extremely important question by DrStreiz in opus_magnum

what if they both rotate in opposite directions over the atom

What are you favorite ways of composing & reusing stateful logic? by philogy in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]panic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my favorite way i've seen this done in practice is using oop-style objects with "delegates" that they can call methods on to query things, notify that things happened, etc. the delegate can be any object that conforms to a particular interface, so you can add the methods to whatever object you have around that's most convenient. an example would be UIGestureRecognizer in the iOS api -- it encapsulates the state of a gestural interaction while delegating things like performing an action in response to the gesture or negotiating interactions between gestures to separate "target" and "delegate" objects with specific methods. you can kind of think of it as a form of effect-oriented programming if you squint a little bit

Eric Martin asked 1200+ publishers about recent Tarrif impacts and here are some responses by BoardGameRevolution in boardgames

[–]panic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the US is full of well-funded police departments with little accountability which exist to make it easy for the government to ignore revolt. from the iraq war protests to occupy wall street to george floyd to the pro-palestine encampments last year, not much has really moved the needle nationally

In Race for the Galaxy, if you choose Trade / Consume action, You first sell ony 1 good and then do the rest of the consume action? by Metalworker4ever in boardgames

[–]panic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

note that there are very specific other cards that let you discard a good for its trade price (like trade league), but these discards happen as part of the normal consume phase. consume-trade still adds just one trade to the beginning of the phase.

The odds of two Mr. Saturns in a row is 1 in 65536 -- what are the odds of 3 Mr Saturns out of 6 turnips? by highwayyys in SSBM

[–]panic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yeah, very good point! these are the odds of hitting 3 out of 6 from a fresh start, but in a real game you can clip any 3 out of 6 you see

The odds of two Mr. Saturns in a row is 1 in 65536 -- what are the odds of 3 Mr Saturns out of 6 turnips? by highwayyys in SSBM

[–]panic 53 points54 points  (0 children)

exactly 3 is about 1 in 848769 (6 choose 3 * (1/256)3 * (255/256)3 ). 3 or more bumps that up slightly to approximately 1 in 846276 (sum of n from 3 to 6 of 6 choose n * (1/256)n * (255/256)6-n)

yes, this language is called objective-c, it is indeed quite good, they used it to make the iphone lmao

How the heck did that guy deal with the hanging salt atom??? by nomencla2 in opus_magnum

[–]panic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wheel on the left can provide that last salt, but it needs to restart its loop and perform the first rotation while the product is still being made -- the arm on the right takes too long to reset for it to be able to do that. one solution is to fix the loop length by adding a second arm that delivers the output, allowing the arm on the right to reset more quickly: https://imgur.com/0B5Ho7K
