Really fun!
Developing my intuition for a sphere as I played was a nice experience.
As other commenters have mentioned, the game ramps up a bit too slowly. Perhaps it would worth adding more than one food item.
Nicholas Francis manages a fund for AgTech after a decade making games with Unity (the engine he made). He left in 2013 so I don't associate him with Unity today but it was his product.
2018 We get the new HDRP and Shader Graph.
2019 there were sexual harassment lawsuits.
The other co-founders left after they announced runtime fees in 2023 and the community fled.
2024 the URP team basically imploded. Leaving everything basically flat.
I didn't really want to resort to piracy; I think it's stupid that Adobe won't sell a perpetual license.
I got a license to Moho from a Humble Bundle like a year ago, and I think Toonz is open source nowadays, all in addition to the ToonBoom copy I have so I probably don't need the real Adobe Animate anymore.
Can confirm as someone who was using pre-subscription Office to write/read files while everyone else at work was using the 365 version. Now that I'm using 365 too, I do however appreciate the ability to do shared live editing in the office programs.
CLU implemeted abstract data types. What we commonly call generics today.
The Liskov substitute principle in that context pretty much falls out naturally. As the entire point is to substitute in types into your generic data structure.
No, because the LSP is specifically about inheritance, or subtyping more generally. No inheritance/subtyping, no LSP.
It is true that an interface defines certain requirements of things that claim to implement it, but merely having an interface lacks the critical essence of the LSP. The LSP is not merely a banal statement that "a thing that claims to implement an interface ought to actually implement it". It is richer and more subtle than that, though perhaps from an academic perspective, still fairly basic. In the real world a lot of code technically violates it in one way or another, though.
Yes it is, as it is about the semantics of type hierarchies, not their syntax. If your software has type hierarchies, then it is a good idea for them conform to the principle, regardless of whether the implementation language syntax includes inheritance.
It might be argued that CLU is no better than typical OO languages in supporting the principle, but the principle is still valid - and it was particularly relevant at the time Liskov proposed it, as inheritance was frequently being abused as just a shortcut to do composition (fortunately, things are better now, right?)
For me, it's the very basics of general relativity which made the distinction between the cotangent and tangents space click. Optimisation on Riemannian manifolds might give an opportunity to apply more interesting tensor calculus with a non-trivial metric.
A good use of linear algebra that I'm working with at the moment is the use of splines as a basis for real (vector) functions. After obtaining the matrix/vector representations you can solve for the spline coefficients (and then plot them).
Linear transforms (such as rotations and displacements) in GPU graphics.
Fourier series in signal processing.
JPEG compression.
Obtaining the best fit element in a vector space of curves given data or other constraints.
Understanding autodiff in JAX.
The mathematical definition of a tensor helps develop intuition for manipulating arrays/tensors in array libraries.
As someone with zero knowledge of psychology, I'm biased against it. Partly because of my vague impression that psychology tries to fit people to models, rather than viewing models as limited approximations.
For a while I've thought it would be nice to know what results the field of psychology actually has that are trusted.
Was there anything at all in the taught content which you liked?
I didn't realise the DSM-V was that bad. If research on trans people can be cherry-picked, then does that mean that some reliable research exists?
> As someone with zero knowledge of psychology, I'm biased against it.
Then you are biased against "the science of mind and behavior"[0] by definition.

Perhaps that people who seek out and engage in therapy with qualified professionals can (but not always) improve their lived experience?
Or that by studying the mind and human behavior, mental illness is now considered a medical condition, worthy of treatment, and has much less social stigma than years past?
My impression about reality is the opposite. The quantum world makes perfect sense while it's the emergence of the classical world which is unfathomable. The crazy "pop into existence" part is still incomprehensible, so I guess it's essentially the same.
