Shoot, that ain't nuthin'. At the Boy Scout camp I go to, you can shoot black-powder rifles. Theose things will dislocate your shoulder into the next county if there's enough powder in it.

Also, most places won't let you have a rocket launcher without the strictest of background checks, if at all. That wouldn't be so bad, except that in America, most background checks are meant to deter people from obtaining guns, rather than keeping criminals from obtaining guns legally.

So tired... so much code written... But after finally figuring out how the hell Bezier Curves actually work mathematically, I put together a thing that finds a pretty good approximation of the domains and ranges of all possible strokes this sucker can generate*. In the process, I refreshed a lot of memory about linear algebra (which turned out to be a mostly dead end, but fun anyway). Now I'm just a squeeze theorem away from finally finding out if things are really crossing :I

This would probably be so much easier if I understood how to library but I don't so it's all from scratch.

*Technically, I still need to account for a curve doing extremely wonky shit like veering way off before coming back so it has multiple noncontiguous segments in the area that overlaps with another stroke's, but that can wait for a later version, and meanwhile I'll just get an extra crossing every coupla thousand glyphs or something.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

At the top of my basement stairs, there's a light switch. Turn it on and it turns on the light inside the staircase, but it also turns on the light downstairs as you come in immediately. Not weird, right? Well, there's another light switch that is connected to the exact same thing. I never really thought about it too hard until today, when I decided to check what exactly the logic behind two switches controlling two lights but for some reason the circuits being dependent on each other.

1 1 = on
1 0 = off
0 1 = off
0 0 = on

So it's an NXOR, I think. Well, that's the bitwise logic, I guess.

Still don't know the human element to the logic, though.

Pnx

Today through research I discovered that yew was in such a high demand for English longbows, that by the late middle ages all the yew trees were all but extinct from England, causing the crown to start demanding yew staves as taxation for ships entering English ports. Which rapidly led to an extremely high demand for yew staves across Europe and vast amounts of selective harvesting of yew trees ensued, so much so that the Holy Roman Emperor received a plea from Bavaria demanding he forbid the cutting of yew trees because of the damage the selective harvesting was doing to the forests (yew trees acted as a wind break and shelter for nearby trees (old yew trees can grow very large), so large areas of forests would often die off due to the yew trees being removed).
Which just goes to show that ecological disasters are by no means a modern problem.

I can tell you a good story regarding these matters.
Or medieval Europe.

(Those disasters are an economic problem. :P)

I'm pretty sure that B12 games has raised so many NSA red-flags that we're on a post-it on the wall under 'Those guys'.

We have specific files.
They've decided to save paper and just make the files red instead of covering them with the red flag post-its.

Of course, we're filed under "Entertainment" instead of "Genuine Threats", but the thought is there!

Still don't know the human element to the logic, though.

Those are pretty standard stairway lighting switches. They're pretty much connected like this:


    ___
___/   \___ 1 1
    ___
    ___
___/    ___ 1 0
    ___/
    ___
___    \___ 0 1
   \___

Isn't this parallel circuitry (or something that I might've misplaced the term to)?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is really good. Like, not best game ever good, but it's the first game I've really binged on in a long time. I played LoS1 first, because I always try to play the first game before I play the sequel, and it doesn't even compare. I barely scraped by in that game because I didn't really want to go back and get everything I missed. The DLC chapters were abysmal, and I almost threw down my controller right there and quit. In LoS2, I actually feel like exploring and going back to get things I missed or that I needed something else to get. Probably because they made climbing and platforming so much better, and they actually added a map. Also, LoS2 constantly references other Castlevania games, most notably Symphony of the Night, it's mostly just a fun game in general.
