@tsturm @fitheach also, all the grown ups I talk to about Brexit just shake their heads and have nothing to offer except they think when do they finally leave the EU and get it all over with. Nobody is considering the possibility of real hardship in the UK. Everybody just thinks: they really really really wanted it. We have them so much time to think and they still wanted it. Please, go now. Leave. It will be hard to make an emotional appeal. Realpolitik it is.

@jynx Hah, sounds like good times! 😀 Sadly I Never got into HyperCard. But when I read about it later, it seemed all that is good about Twine games, wikis, programming, web apps, multimedia – what you wanted. And a tool, not an app. Oh well…

@jynx this is what i used a very long time ago.

@jynx all i can think of when it comes to an environment that allows you to write and code on the terminal is Emacs… surely some combo of modes and lisp can do what you want but it will never be HyperCard.

(I think I saw a Youtube thing where he talked about it. Also the suspicion he did this to confuse search engines about the NHS bus.)

@fitheach truly, mural of the three idiots of our times – surely we could always have named three individuals that represented human idiocy, and it’s never these people alone that are responsible for the mess we are in – and perhaps painting them on a mural is a way of externalizing the guilt of those that supported them, I don’t know. But at other times all we want to do is point our fingers and have a laugh, at them, and the people that still support them. Gaaaaaah!

@Miredly I remember running into situations where I generate maps and sometimes the result would be close but eventually deviate for the same seed and I kept finding places where I was looping through the keys of a hash without sorting them – basically adding a separate source of randomness to the process. And I had to keep looking for those rare subroutines that did it until I finally had them all. At least I think I do. 😆

@Miredly the moment my gazillion web apps get “seed” parameter is when I know that I am close to release.

@xosem I know, I know. Today we’re going back and straight into autumn!

@sir I'm going to give them a try!

@alfio_1979 Actually, now that I'm looking at your timeline I see that all the other posts you wrote are from 2018! Uh… that doesn't look too promising and I fear this is not what newbies are hoping to find. How about you resume posting some more and get back to me in two weeks and remind me of the request? Right now, considering that you haven't really posted in a very long time, I think that would be the best.

@alfio_1979 Done! 🐘 Let's hope you write more than the 14 toots I've seen so far. 😃

Today it was not too hot – just 34°C. 😅
