Staff Rule

Reply in thread

LitRPG is literature following what amounts to a power growth story. Main character starts book one as a starvling orphan, finishes the last book as a semi-deific end-game boss-strength monster slayer.

Now as for the cover...

We have POSIX at home

Reply in thread

I'm no expert, but my take on the situation is that POSIX is a very old, very stable, relatively powerful API. If figure out a workflow that uses only POSIX tools, then you have very high confidence that you can reuse that workflow across any POSIX-compliant environment.

Relation between aphantasia

Reply in thread

I have Aphantasia and ADHD, and I can confirm that the sleep/wake boundary allows for some startling visualizations.

Apparently it is a different visualizing scheme that dreaming uses, so practicing visualizing in that half-asleep state doesn't strengthen the bit that is used while awake.

Was this before actual hard disk drives became popular?

I remember as a child one of my friends has a very old computer, even for the nineties. All of the programs had to be loaded on with 3.5" floppy disks each time we wanted to run them. There was a cargo ship management game that we messed with that I was too young to understand. I was really interested in "ballast" as cargo because it was zero cost; no wonder I didn't make any money.
