Looking forward to v2, where the agent also attends the events and networks with everyone else's agents.
This is basically tikz's positioning library (right=of, below left=of) without having to touch LaTeX. With tikz it was never the nodes that hurt me, it was the edges. Once two edges want the same side of a box it gets ugly fast. Does the resolver do any routing, or is from:/to: all you get? And what happens with conflicting statements, does the first one win or do you get an error?
Re:Factorio that you can touch on Friday September 25, 2026 @12:16PM (#49846552)
Fun thing about taking Factorio physical is that the game already has a real scale. A tile is a metre, that's what the km/h readouts for vehicles are based on. So a yellow belt moves at basically walking pace, and the engineer runs everywhere at about 30 km/h all day without getting tired. The mining drill that eats a whole ore patch is a 3x3m box.
Re:A brief history of Windows scroll bar shortcuts on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @04:49PM (#49822367)
