Even then, you could write a print function that writes morse code pattern to the led :p
I don't think it has "taken off" but last time I looked it was very usable and feature rich and I found no reason not to use it.

Why bother with learning a special "image editing" application ?

Why can't folks make good looking pictures from just code ?

Algorithms implemented in soft synths need to take certain things like aliasing into account and if every musicians had to bother with that, there would be much less EDM for you to enjoy.

Re:Use Alacritty instead of Termite on Friday May 07, 2021 @11:26AM (#27076936)
I switched to termite when I rethought my setup to minimize my usage of the mouse. I don't think I would have changed for cosmetic features or benchmark reasons.
You see, that's what the chips in the vaccines are for /s

The n-gate person put this fake captcha to prevent people from accessing their site when hackernews is the referer.

A bunch of the examples lead to a 404. Also his research is really mind blowing stuff, I was in disbelief when I heard the first few examples.

William Sethare has done a good amount of research into adaptatively tuning music so that the intervals are always simple ratios. You can find some examples of this here : https://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/html/soundexamples.html

Unfortunately some sound examples are missing but a few of them are still online.

The octagon gate is actually a hindrance for some techniques in melee, notably wavedashes and shield drops.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (https://crawl.develz.org/) is an excellent game that has a very open development process while keeping clear design goals.
Have you tried any of the modern games other than the two you linked ? A lot of the games being made right now are shorter and punchier than the classic infocom games.

Suveh nux (https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=xkai23ry99qdxce3) is a great example of a modern game that is short, interesting and uses the medium in an interesting manner.

Recording reverb from real space is as simple as recording an impulse (firing a gun or anything that makes a short high intensity noise) in a room and then convolving that with the audio you want to add reverb to.

The only limits to this is how close to a perfect impulse you can generate.

"massively efficient" ? Have you seen the amount of electricity bitcoin consumes with useless computations ?
