@GreatDismal Hehe … the older you get, the easier it is to think of something you've done 8000 times. But once you start reminiscing about those moments … nigh-impossible to find anything you haven't fucked up multiple times.

I’ve done that. And then, that!

My publisher sent me 8000 pages to sign, a number that includes an extra 500 pages in case some of the other pages are 'unusable.' Which is hilarious because how could anybody mess up signing their own n—well, OK, actually you know what never mind

@Code_of_Kai @ID_AA_Carmack Pretty much any base would work. The word you're looking for is ‘digit’ ;)
Depends on which Pong you'd like to represent, though, and how accurately. It's complicated with the early versions, which didn't have software.

@ID_AA_Carmack What base would you this have to be in for a single number to represent Pong? 🤔

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. BRIAN ENO

@notedBonesHaver @qikipedia In the experiment they're talking about (without actually mentioning it, let alone linking to the paper, in typical QI fashion), the coin is caught in mid-air. So there's zero chance it lands at all.

Coin flips aren’t 50/50 - there is a 51% chance you will end up with whatever side you started with.

@PhilippSeifried @unity @UnityforGames The “now” is technically correct, but they've been like this for 8+ years. Choosing Unity was stupid all along. (And supporting them was unethical all along.) If this calamity is what it takes to make devs realise … well, better late than never.
