Your journey through Part 1 was really fun to read along. Do you plan on playing Part 2?

It’s blazing fast, too, when compared with LaTeX. And another WIP feature I’m particularly excited about: HTML export.

Love Typst, and I hope it takes off.
- Comment on I 🖤 LaTeX 4 days ago:
As a long-time LaTeX user, I can confirm that there’s quite a bit of overlap between that and masochism.

Fun fact: For a group of 13 skeletons attacking the same target, the probability that at least one of them crits is about 49%.

And only 30 years after that, we’re surfing the interwebz, sailing down the data highway at the speed of light. I’m running out of metaphors to chain together…

Dude, for real. Half of what people call “efficiency” is just routine and winging stuff you know you don’t really need to prepare.

- Comment on Happy Birthday John Turkey 4 weeks ago:
From Wikipedia:
John Wilder Tukey (/ˈtuːki/; June 16, 1915 – July 26, 2000) was an American mathematician and statistician, best known for the development of the fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm and the box plot.
The comic strip was published on June 18. The last sentence combines a precise but wrong statement (Turkey would be 110,000 years old today) with an imprecise but correct statement (his birthday is some time that week).

Probably Python and R for statistical analysis, which is common nowadays in most empirical sciences.

Yes, I simply don’t think this one is particularly good.
- Comment on I'm talking to the fucking Garfield 5 weeks ago:
I get that, but the parody essentially just replicates the original humor in my opinion.
- Comment on I'm talking to the fucking Garfield 5 weeks ago:
Fine line between mirroring and holding up the mirror. This feels more like the former.

Teams: No, fuck you. Click “Add file”.

I think the concern initially was that cold brew may be more prone to bacterial contamination than normal coffee, because it has lower acidity and the water used to make it is not boiled. But like the study you linked found, it seems to be safe at least when refrigerated.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 month ago:
God of War has two big strengths that make it a great game in my opinion. The first is the story with its great characters, presentation, and voice acting. The second is the overall “feel” of the game, which can be a bit “game-y” at times but is really tight overall with only a handful of core mechanics that are exceptionally well implemented.

Eh, IMO it’s more like four methods stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat.

Using the power of AI, you too could send your boss emails that read like the following, completely hassle-free:
“Certainly, here is a version of your email without slurs or aggressive phrasing.
Dear Fred,

- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 month ago:
Assuming that “masterpiece” refers to how the games worked in their time (not how well they aged) some of my picks would be:
- Baldur’s Gate 2 + ToB
- Morrowind
- Read Dead Redemption 2
- The Witcher 3
- The Last of Us 1+2
- God of War
- The Legend of Zelda: BOTW
- Mass Effect 1+2
- Half Life 2
- BioShock 1
- Diablo 2

Actually, this is Stannis Baratheon from The Witcher.

- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success caused the dev team to reconsider how it should approach future DLC 2 months ago:
Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s success caused the dev team to reconsider how it should approach future DLC 2 months ago:
It’s pretty good, although I think the hype is a bit over the top. The game is well done, enjoyable, and plays a lot like a modern JRPG (think Persona 5 and others).
