There was a long write-up in this note, but then I removed it. Read the bookmarked article with an open heart.

Isometric games are extremely popular. Let's learn the theory behind isometric projection and how it is used by gamedevs to write isometric-looking games.

In a city, you can find harvestable plants if you look hard enough. This is true. In Ufa, I've seen apple trees, for example. The author invites readers to learn more about it. Maybe I will.

Solderpunk came up with a different way of portraying the future of humanity in sci-fi. Slowly move everybody to one continent. Most people live in 50 megacities. We live and degrowth as long as we can. A fun concept. I myself like space conquering more, to be honest. Maybe combine the two?

A classic rant on uxn and programming. Uxn is done for.

Uxn says it's about permacomputing and vintage computing, the author of the article says it's not and proves it.

The author insists on a relation to permacomputing. Their page on permacomputing describes frugal computing and salvage computing as principles of permacomputing, defining them as "utilizing computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible", and "utilizing only already available computational resources, to be limited by that which is already produced." The author is part of a collective that wanted to replace all the "bloated" software they used, due to having little energy storage on their sailboat. Using software design techniques to reduce power usage, and to allow continued use of old computers is a good idea, but the uxn machine has quite the opposite effect, due to inefficient implementations and a poorly designed virtual machine, which does not lend itself to writing an efficient implementation easily.

Devine then mentioned it, and a discussion followed.
