Well I guess that's it for climate science, no weather stations before 1850. Tree rings? Ice cores? People writing down "wow there was no rain for 3 months our God must be pissed"? Sorry, doesn't count I'm afraid.

I'm sorry for being unprofessional but this comment really struck a nerve with me. The idea of trying to move climate science into the domain of the unprovable/undisprovable by claiming that there is simply no way to have data from before 1850. Do you have a specific problem with tree rings? Their statistical significance? A confounding variable that has not been taken into account?


Did you read the article? Since that is what the author refers to as his data sources' time periods, multiple times.


FYI, PARRY is a chatbot that is supposed to imitate someone with paranoid schizophrenia. "the Doctor" is ELIZA which is supposed to act like a therapist.


Honestly needed this explanation. I opened this expecting this was something that happened in a 70's Doctor Who episode



It's better than glGetError() for sure, but not supported everywhere (e.g. macOS is stuck at 4.1 Core Profile).


Using those debuggers is like doing CPU debugging.

If at least you had posted a link to RenderDoc.

Apparently Humptulips, Washington was Terry Pratchett's favourite place on earth. :)



Fun game! It would add more to the game imo if there was a fuel efficiency target as well as angle and speed.


Agreed. I tried to get a lot of flips prior to a successful landing, then I realized you can just accelerate upwards to an absurd height and do oodles of flips offscreen before stabilizing to land.

If there were a fuel limit, or if there were some scoring category that showed whether your rocket stayed under a reasonable height, that would make scoring more comparable for everyone.


YouTube video I found with more info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm95r05hui0


It only registers a binary input (e.g. mouse-click); their YouTube[0] shows a patient using it in conjunction with eye-tracking. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm95r05hui0
