Beyond All Reason is a SpringTA fork (hack? build?) like Zero-K? So the underlying engine isn't Lua, but higher level scripting is. I'm pretty sure this is fairly common, or was once.
Other games with Lua scripting: Roblox, Baldur's Gate, Civilization VI, Crysis, Factorio, World of Warcraft, Far Cry, Leadwerks, Friday Night Funkin', Foldit, Garry's Mod, Aquaria, Balanced Annihilation, Bitfighter, Bos Wars, Cataclysm, CivCity: Rome, Civilization: Beyond Earth, Company of Heroes, Cortex Command, Counter-Strike 2D, Crimson Steam Pirates, Dota 2, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup, Dungeons, Dungeons II, Dungeons III, Elven Legacy, Empire: Total War, Escape from Monkey Island, Eufloria, Exodus from the Earth, Angry Birds.
>This is the second game I've found out recently that is written in Lua. The first one one being - Beyond All Reason.
Lua is traditionally the scripting language of choice for game development. It was absolutely ubiquitous in the industry before the days of Unreal/Unity. Famously, all of the WoW UI was Lua.
I am surprised that he did not include all of the Souls games, as they are hugely popular.
Oddly enough, I learned that they used Lua by reading the license information which came with the game. I don't remember if it was on the back of the box or in an paper insert, but it surprised me to see it included for some reason.
YOYOZO, my game that received a "Best Games of 2023" accolade, was also written in Lua. It is only 39KB despite containing two music tracks, physics and particle systems, online high score board, dynamic sounds, two fonts, a tutorial and more. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38372936
I had both the original Kinect (xbox 360) and then Xbox One Kinect. I found that I was able to find a lot more libraries and projects around the original Kinect. Sadly, I misplaced the original 360 Kinect when I moved to a new house and have never been able to find it. I still have the xbox one Kinect. But it seems that there isn't lot of of development done around it. Even though it had more sensors and had better imaging.
I had the same frustration, I converted my Xbox One model into a webcam during Covid when high-end cameras were at a premium, but other than a head tracker for video games, never got anything else interesting going with it.
We built number of projects with the Xbox 360 one back in the day, fun toy.
Yet his approval rating is higher than its ever. There is a segment of the population that seems love the bull in the china shop approach to governance.
What is anyone going to do about it?
MAGA house reps have already fulminated impeachment proceedings for a judge who tried to rein in a lawless Trump admin. The US Marshalls are part of the DOJ that Trump has already pwned, so forget about any consequences for the executive branch completely ignoring the judicial branch selectively.
With MAGA congressional majorities, we have literally no possibility of checking an overreaching Trump administration.
All mechanisms have been subverted already.
There will doubtless not be any midterms, and meanwhile HN doesn't want to be political, yet standing up for our republic is now a partisan effort, and it's being cast as disloyalty to a supreme leader, who apparently now embodies the law and government. Research scientists are denied US entry for having Trump-critical conversations on their phone.
The frog is boiling. Dang will say to pipe down and stop screaming, while the frog cries out for its life, because some foolish boss types still persist in the delusion our house speaker persists in: thst they can ride this bucking bronco to work.
They cannot. The bronco owns them.
Lights out and noting this is considered partisan.
What is more radical than harassing our friends and allies and uniting the world against us?
But if you let out a peep, it's political. We are supposed to enjoy bowing and scraping to obey our overlords, and insufficient display of joy at being suffocated is now partisan.
It didn't need to be this way.
TRUMP has already dismantled much of our republic and yet the articles posted here do not reflect this.
What part of "we are becoming the new nazi state entity" does ycombinator not understand?
Didn't realize Hoarder now supports SingleFile extension. amazing.
Regarding Hoarder - by selfhosting Hoarder , I was able to cancel my $40/year subscription to Pocket. With the money saved - I added $10 of OpenAI's API credits and use gpt-4o-mini for tagging. I don't have a powerful enough GPU to selfhost Ollama on my NAS where I'm hosting Hoarder. But gpt-4o-mini is dirt cheap for these type of use cases.
These people are typically the true believers in the Republic. They also believe they are taking down existential threats to the republic. Finally, they believe in defense in layers.
You know what they don't believe in? Playing fair.
No. I wouldn't count on new homeland security leadership appointees having a "free hand" in practice. All of them will discover that their phone, internet and location activity is known to the security agencies. All of that information is also known for their associates. Couple that with the fact that you're dealing with new appointees whose ideology is essentially based more in superiority rather than patriotism, and it points to a lot in that data trove that would be of interest to the kind of people who keep the FBI running from the shadows.
In fact, my bet is that this series of appointees will be far more easily controlled than ones appointed by some red, white and blue boy scout with a martyr complex like McCain would have been for instance. I'd wager there are probably some people in our homeland security infrastructure who actually prefer our appointed leadership be comprised of people who are more malleable.
Nope! All the processing is done on the spinning wheel. The microcontroller is on one of the arms and it's using wifi for streaming data. The battery is taped to the inner hub.
