Well you have to keep it at operating temperature

Great, how did you build it? Also I have to read the books

vanilla JS and canvas plus a hefty bit of technical help from Claude.

It seems you draw everything every frame onto the canvas? The result is quite GPU heavy, for your next game I would recommend looking into a graphic libary like pixijs, to make use of the webgl/webgpu .. then it would run smooth even on old mobile phones.

check out raylib, it should be amazing for this :)

Thank you for your service

Did any of the taxes came to fruition? Weren't they cancelled by the US high courts?

And since AI knows every Tailwind page, you probably do not need the paid offer for a decent looking page.

Well you always could just read the docs instead of using the paid offer. Took longer. Not anymore.

How close is Odoo to the Django Stack? In my mind, since both are python, I always thought it was some kind of Django fork,l. I bet I am wrong. So how came Odoo into being?

It's not a fork of Django, even thought the stack has similarities: Python, ORM on top of Postgresql, Modules. We use werkzeug (it's been a long time I checked Django, not sure they are on it too), but the rest of the stack is Odoo's own framework: ORM, Templating (QWeb), API, etc.

But it's not comparable to Django:

- Odoo is built for management application: think CRM, Accounting, Project Management, ... a strong backend

- Django is often used as a framework, Odoo for end-users apps (even though our framework is super advanced)

- Odoo has a CMS (website builder) too but with a focus on being end-user friendly, like Wix, or Squarespace but for businesses (eCommerce, Jobs, Events, ...)

- the javascript client of Odoo is huge whereas Django is minimal

- Odoo has it's own ORM optimized for speed and complexity of an ERP

- templating engine based on XML rather than inline python instructions

Here is a 2 minutes overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbso3NVz3p8

If you were building Odoo for the first time today would you still choose python? Would you use it the same way?

On good days you could use a solar collector to boil water and generate electricity with it

Also he will looke reasonable by just invading Ukraine instead of the whole of Europe

Accelerando is one of my favourite too! Thanks for sharing the reply, always love book recommendations

In a thematically similar but very different vein, Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time series was an enjoyable read.

I also recommend Eric Nylund's work, specifically Signal to Noise and A Signal Shattered.

Edit: Well, there you go, Children of Time had 23 mentions now that I've read down further. Disappointed to see Eric Nylund's work fade into obscurity, I rate him up with Neal Stephenson.

I thought I recognized that name: Nylund also wrote some books for the Halo series which I enjoyed, although I was already a fan of the games.

I believe he was a staff writer for the Halo series in house as well, something like Marc Laidlaw at Valve, and the books emerged from internal storytelling written for the series. Very interesting stuff.

I also highly recommend his older books Pawn's Dream, Dry Water, and especially A Game Of Universe. They're available on Kindle and part of the Unlimited program so easy to check out.

I haven't been able to find Eric Nylund's "Signal to Noise" and sequel "A Signsl Shattered" in ebook format.

But they are strange and great.

Those two novels of Nylund's really captured the "dark forest" concept well, though I won't say more so as to avoid spoilers.

I haven't read the source material so I can't speak to the books, but the adaptations of 3 Body (Problem) that I've watched, both the Tencent and Netflix ones, also explore similar themes to Nylund's works. Heck, I just discovered that Liu Cixin coined the "dark forest" term, though he isn't the first to explore it.

I must finished my last book and grabbed Accelerando blind based on ya all's recommendation and damn it's great. Thank you!
