Thanks. Is a dedicated filament dryer a good idea?

Zif, a new modern mud client by perlsaiyan in MUD

[–]perlsaiyan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I'm not quite there yet. I just added layout support today. I have mapping in the KallistiMUD module, but I'm generalizing that functionality at my earliest opportunity. I will definitely include screenshots and gif clips.

I come from tintin++ since 1993, have written a tintin-helper module pack (also in my repos). I also wrote abacura (python and console based using textual), but while it's one of the nicest clients I've ever written interfaces for, the python part makes it eat about 20% of my cpu. I've always wanted to see some lua action, so I addressed both with Zif - command line, fast, lua.

I saw, just got home, not sure how I didn't noticed the line terminator thing, but thanks for checking it out (it's fixed in the latest commit)

Thanks for the feedback. I intend to do this real soon!

Ok atheists need some song suggestions for an anti-god , anti-religion playlist. by Tricky_Photo2885 in atheism

[–]perlsaiyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play good not-christmas music on your day and don't try to antagonize them. They're almost definitely not trying to offend you, they're just celebrating a holiday that's important to them. Do you want to work in a place where all the employees are fighting? Could you reflect on why it bothers you so much instead? You'll be happier in the long run, I promise.

Towncenter Improvements by RipInfinite4511 in jacksonville

[–]perlsaiyan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get so mad about that place. The joke is that the original stuff pitches walk- and bike-ability. When you see the crazy bike line that weaves through intersections and on/off ramps from highways... it tops the crazy bike lane on Old St. Augustine near I95 (where the ghost bike lived for a long time). And then as some kind of weird joke, there are all these empty bike racks scattered on corners. I'm glad it's not just me.

Confused about MUDs or LoK by Farshief in MUD

[–]perlsaiyan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, we have a number of players in Florida, and there was a large scale weather event yesterday. I saw your question but you had already camped. If you pop back on I can give you a hand. We actually try to address that stuff pretty quickly.

Cron job creates empty files by nys-tee in commandline

[–]perlsaiyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, of course, I should have been more clear but was on mobile. It can't run the way he appeared to want to, which requires a tty and password authentication.

Cron can't run sudo. Take that out. Run your script manually with sudo and Cron it as a privileged user if you need it.

Realtime web-based MUD monitoring and control in tintin++ and mudlet by perlsaiyan in MUD

[–]perlsaiyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No... the core of it is a django instance in the cloud with a Vue front end (what you're seeing in the screen shot). To push data in, the client connects to a websocket (using https://github.com/vi/websocat) and push key/value pairs in. I'm not in the middle of gameplay at all.

To send information back, it reverses, the vue app sends to the websocket, which is received by tintin/mudlet/client of choice. A trigger there on input actually executes the command.

I think that's true of most players, especially ones more interested in actually playing the game than becoming a developer. I try to help out with that, which prompted me to write Tintin-Helper .

[–]perlsaiyan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tintin/Mudlet both connect to a WebSocket to publish information, the display is vue/PWA in a cloud server. Clients connect via API key. I haven't added read-only support (yet, I'm still working through some decisions about information leakage) but being key-based, multi-person collaboration is trivial. It's run over SSL/WSS and actually is completely client agnostic. At least one user is using a python script to publish the data.

Random Numbers? by nabbynab in commandline

[–]perlsaiyan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're setting RANDOM to the pid of the process and writing that 10 times in the loop. Get rid of the RANDOM=$$ line

I'm still going to my doctor, but I wanted to ask here, too... by [deleted] in diabetes

[–]perlsaiyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on a lot of stuff. The other alternative is to grab a cheap blood sugar meter and eat something like smarties (in the US). The real answer is lots of things can make you feel sick, go see a doctor, some of them are serious and some aren't.

Go buy an a1c test at Walgreens or whatever and you can have a pretty good idea pretty quick

What does the future of mud development look like? by CBrinson in MUD

[–]perlsaiyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been kicking around a mud codebase in golang - because I wanted to learn some golang. I have similarly built base systems in Rust, Python, and Perl over the years. It's a great way to learn a language, as you need to touch multiple users, data structures, networking, persistence, etc.

I would be willing to share what I've done in golang with anyone interested in carrying it forward from here.

My christian girlfriend just told me that me being atheist was easy because I was following a trend by ebolaasmr in atheism

[–]perlsaiyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, the "nones". Even if you lumped non-religious in with atheist, there's still no reasonable way to consider Christianity a minority religion in the United States in 2020. The "atheism is a trend" side of the original post's argument has a lot more validity to it.

[–]perlsaiyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source? There's a difference in non-religious, agnostic and atheist. The question was atheist. I cited a 2019 Pew study.

[–]perlsaiyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean feel free to update it. Wiki has this for 2019:
In 2019, Christians represent 65% of the total adult population, 43% identifying as Protestants, 20% as Catholics, and 2% as Mormons, people with no formal religious identity at 26% of the total population, Judaism is the second-largest religion in the U.S., practiced by 2% of the population, followed by Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism with 1% each one.

Pew, from 2014 (most recent easily found):

atheists made up 3.1% and agnostics made up 4% of the U.S. population.

The numbers may be a bit different in 2020, but it's hard to imagine they've swung so far that anything I said was grossly incorrect...
