Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

And the soundtrack is so good

Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

I use mine just about every day, I’ve been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I’m excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I’ve gotten out of it. But, that doesn’t really help anybody else, I know.

It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I’ve played start-to-finish more than once.

“Treat others how they wish to be treated, bearing in mind how you feel when you are mistreated” just doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way.

You’ll find that on the external diagram.

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn’t even a glimmer in Bjarne’s eye when these conventions were laid down.

And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don’t really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.

And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it’s the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don’t put up with.

He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.

My sleuthing suggests I Saw the TV Glow (2024).

Eh, huel is like liquid clif bars. Sometimes you just want something quick and easy but reasonably nutritious.

Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.

That’s essentially it, but Gentoo has never required systemd.

That’s just one thing the editing language does, though. There’s no single feature you can point to as the smoking gun; it’s all the small advantages added together that make vi worthwhile.

Nano is extremely basic, it’s not really the right comparison. Vi competes well with heavyweight GUI editors and IDEs, yet is available about as ubiquitously as nano.

By learning vi, I can have my no-compromises favorite editor equally available to me locally or remotely. The terse, low-chord (looking at you, nano) editing language in vi means I’m not even that hampered when I do remote editing from my phone.

Them titties are properly low-poly.

The Sun’s not going to explode, either. I’m beginning to think this dog is full of shit!

Much less practical to show off your skull coloration when you’re trying to get laid.

Just plain old blue electrical arcs.

On the other hand, Cherenkov radiatiation is only indirectly related to criticality. It comes from any particle moving through a medium, generally water, faster than light travels through that medium. A luminous sonic boom of sorts! It’s associated with criticality because those are the contexts where it happens often enough to actually be visible.

Mercury-based diodes both look way cooler and are way less spooky than garden variety semicondictor diodes.

Or put into paint!
