When imagining things, particularly when imagining scenarios, do you see things from a first-person perspective or do you imagine things as if you were a camera viewing the area?

If I consider how I remember my dreams, probably both. When I imagine something and I don't see myself in it maybe that's in first-person, but a lot of the time I'll tend to also picture myself, but not myself. I don't know if it's myself because I never really clearly see myself in my imagination, at least never the self I see in the mirror. I don't know why that is. I can imagine and walk through a detailed layout of all the homes I've been into often and picture family members well, but not myself.

I can do both. Depends on what I'm doing at the time.

This takes a lot of practice. I think it's hard because you have to imagine the same object from both 1st and 3rd person at the same time. It took me months before I could do it without instantly waking up.

I'd say it's almost exclusively the "camera" thing since the object/person/environment's properties are what I'm imagining and not my view of them. I guess it's more likely that I imagine my view if it actually directly involves me, but I don't do that very often. I think that's usually for sexual stuff, heh.

I tend to flick back and forth. Your first person perspective, a single point of view. It seems like a waste to not look at things from other views and angles. I do think it's funny that some people think that imagining themselves with their waifu from any other POV than 1st is cutieoldry.

So I was trying to write an IRC bot and while I started off in python I realized at some point maybe I might need to do stuff in javascript as well. It got me wondering if you can just have a bot that's in python that just connects and calls upon javascript programs to do stuff. My first assumption is no since most programs I've seen online seem to be entirely written in one language or another. Since if this was the case then you'd have people mixing and matching languages to do individual tasks ideally because I see a bunch of discussion around languages with people praising something for how well it can do a specific task. If this doesn't exist already, how come?

Interesting history. Apparently you can make it both compiled and interpreted.

I tried giving Lisp a chance, but it just doesn't appeal. Haskell apparently has something to it hearing Rust people talk about it a lot as the only good other language. If I wanted to go back in time I'd go there.

>Apparently you can make it both compiled and interpreted.
Being compiled or interpreted is an implementation detail rather than a language characteristic; you could, in theory, implement either a compiler or an interpreter for any language (though an argument could be made certain language features might make it harder to implement good compilers and whatnot), so it doesn't make much sense to say a language is either (and it isn't as clear-cut in any case since you have things like JITs, bytecode interpreters and whatnot). Implementing a small language (something like a Scheme or a Forth) as a side-project might help clearing up some of the confusion; it is also a ton of fun.

Lisp had the original metacircular interpreter (i.e. the Lisp interpreter was written *in Lisp*), which was hand-translated to IBM 704 assembly; but we've also had great compilers for some of it's descendants for decades (see SBCL or Chez Scheme for examples of two pretty good, currently-maintained compilers for Common Lisp and Scheme, respectively). Some implementations only have a compiler, some have both a compiler and an interpreter, some have more than one compiler.

>only good other language.
Haskell has a lot in it for modelling the assumptions of your program at the type level, and letting the compiler prove the correctness of the value level for you, at compile-time; so it'd make sense for Rust people to talk about Haskell like that.

Lisp (now talking about Common Lisp in specific, although the overall philosophy runs, with a varying degree, through the whole family), in the other hand, goes in the opposite direction by giving the programmer as much freedom as possible to do what he feels like doing, including extending the language itself. This, of course, includes the freedom to build yourself into a verifiable, well-typed subset a-la-Haskell (see Coalton; or ACL2 for a theorem prover based on a subset of CL), or to shoot yourself in the foot (note the language doesn't try to make it *easy* to unintentionally do so, in the way that C pointers might, but it certainly won't stop you if you feel like it), or whatever.

A lot of it comes down to opinion, and different people value different things in a language, and so on; certainly you've heard this before.

Scheme, but someone else's project.
I found that the language itself was preventing me from understanding the project.
Otherwise, I'm just doing normal things picking up ideas and languages from whatever is my focus at the time.
So I'm not really thinking about those concepts when I say I like something or not, it's more about if the syntax/style looks nice( not a fan of the syntax ), accomplishes a goal( webservers are possible but others do it better ) and if I can pick it up quickly ( functional heavy as apposed to procedural/declaritive with no-inheretence OOP ).

At my j_b there are C++ <-> C# interactions done via SWIG, C++ <-> JS interactions done via V8, and C# <-> Ruby interactions done by leaving big JSON files at known locations in the filesystem and running a Ruby interpreter as a new process (which is the sort of thing that could be any language <-> any language). Python is used as well. SWIG and V8 are things the whole dev team dreads to touch because it's mostly the b_ssman who knows the intricacies of that stuff.
I joke about using Rust instead of writing any new C++ code but the development philosophy is very much "use boring languages"

By "content related stuff" I mean user submitted content. If an advertiser was paying out for ad clicks that weren't leading to sales they'd come snoop the forum the ad was ran on. If they found posts they didn't like for whatever reason they use it as justification to pull the ads and seek reimbursement from Google. Google would refund them money then kick the forum out of the adsense program with no warning.

If you had a network of forums tied to the same account (remember Google accounts were invite only back then) you lost adsense program on your entire network.

Hence admins started going really heavy handed on censorship of certain hot-button topics. Which led to users fleeing for places like 4chan and reddit where rules were more lax.

Basically, the adsense program caused massive censorship of forums. Since advertisers didn't like the users shit talking their products. Which happened fairly often on topical forums (cars, technology, anime etc).

Around the same time a lot of people were doing things to game the system to push their sites up the Google rankings ("SEO"). Google never communicated to admins what was and wasn't okay. So there were mass banning waves of forums that had done things like employ so-called "clean" urls or embedded keywords into their HTML. This changed fairly often and became a cat and mouse game. Google would change something then forum admins would do something in response to it. There was an entire industry around gaming google's search results and some admins were paying $200+ a month to buy add-ons to improve their SEO.

In time Google just re-ranked forums as a whole and the gravy train reached the last station. Everyone went broke and a lot of forums went offline because suddenly people were being forced to pay for their hosting out of pocket again. Lots of people lost everything. Check out webhostingtalk there are massive threads full of people crying about it.

What else did they expect? It has been the rule of the internet since day 1 that you pay for your hosted contents out of pocket. The fate of websites are determined by how that payment is acquired. Those who don't want to pay for that shouldn't expect any free lunch.

How would you describe cyberpunk without the "punk"? Since the "punk" portion of the term implies some sort of rebellion against the system or disdain for norms. This question came upon my mind while thinking about the future and how for many the kind of cybernetic corporate controlled society we'd be in actually may be desirable and maybe even the natural evolution of things.

Even for I, I find myself dwelling on some sort of charm or intrigue about the more moral-less late stage capitalist society many works in the genre take place in. Things are quite often terrible in these worlds, yes. However, the unmitigated freedom from regulation or ethics related to cybernetic augmentations normally rampant within has appeal in how often it leads to independent shops having business all over the place that contribute to a thriving home modification scene. Although at the same time often there's a control on who can be augmented and I don't really care for those worlds in terms of likability. Another thing that often seems to be prominent is the lax care for normative religious creed which is the root cause for boundless discrimination and social barries towards avenues cybernetics would open up. On the whole though, despite some parts that appear better than current society, there's still plenty of legitimate corruption that'd make the tradeoff not worth it.

>>>/jp/65426 is an interesting idea, but I think it would be better to go in reverse.
In this thread, continue the previous tegaki drawing by adding another line/object/whatever. You can go into as much depth and quality as you like or just make a scribble (like I will). If someone does imparts crazy detail, you don't need to repeat it as long as it's still somewhat recognizable. I think it would be cool to alter the scene, too, or zoom out or change angle and maybe it can become a story of sorts.

You may want to say that you're working on a drawing so there aren't splits, but that probably won't be an issue.

That wouldn't make sense. A phrase for a specific thing would generally make things more concise, not less.

I suspect most of it came from Francization. A lot of English started as Romance (specifically French) vocabulary welded onto a Germanic grammar that it wasn't really 'meant' for, so you lose out on a lot of the subtleties of both.

There is one word coined by a Scot that comes to mind and that's haecceity, also known as thisness. It's what distinguishes a specific thing as a distinct, particular entity. There are other fairly specific loans like eudaimonia or defenestrate, and of those that are trivia-tier I've come across qualtagh, that one's pretty unique. I don't think English lost these per se, it's that a lot of what you see touted around as these mega-specific abstract things are often a product of writing, either popularized by it or simply not used in regular speech anyways, and the English language spent a very long time being marginalized in favor of Latin and French, whose impact will be felt for even longer. And really, English speakers mostly prefer to borrow words over calquing them, that too contributes to the whole shebang.

The specificity of commonplace vocabulary is generally very underrated and you won't see it appear on any funny lists, but English's phrasal verbs in particular are a stupidly productive way to narrow down or diversify meanings. Get, get in, get out, get up, get down, get by, get on, get off, get along, get at, get away, get back, get over, get across, get around, get through, not to mention get as an auxiliary, at this point I'm sure you get the idea. It's important to highlight the fact that multi-word expressions are lexical items too and just as valid as individual ones, which is what most of these would be in a different language.

As for verbosity itself, it comes and goes, Aristophanes was making fun of it all the way back in 391 BC with his Lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon.

What games, or types of games, do you think will survive the test of time and become staples into the far future? Like checkers, chess, or backgammon.

Although esports has been a fairly well-known thing for at least a couple decades, it hasn't been until the past few years where it was actually accepted by the Olympics and even schools and universities as something more than just goofing off. But I wonder: how many of these games are truly timeless? It's not exactly a competitive sport, but Tetris strikes me as being reduced to the most essential parts of a game -- not overly flashy, or constrained by sensibilities on what makes good graphics -- it is the prototypical timeless game.

That said, there are a lot of things we for granted as being timeless now. Modern sports like hockey, american football, table tennis, etc. were only invented within the last ~150 years. Even modern yoga, as we understand it, is only really an invention from within the last ~200 years.

Anything first person would be my guess. I'm not a huge fan of shooters or Minecraft, but they're kind of a big deal. It's a "natural" camera view with easily understandable implications. It's also something already ready for the transition into VR and AR.
Fighting games? Ehh maybe. They did manage to survive the death of arcades and online connections will hopefully improve over time.
RPGs? It... doesn't look good. Lots of companies have used RPG elements to "gamify" and create addictive gameplay feedback loops, but the happy JRPG or open-ended WRPG themselves seem like they're on borrowed time compared to the old days. (I don't consider RPGMaker eroge to be a substitute).
Gacha will probably be timeless if it counts as a genre since it exploits human weakness.

But, really, who knows? I wouldn't have guessed Minecraft would become as popular as it is.

Can /qa/ give me some fun anime and cartoons to watch? I've already added a bunch to my media server and I'm running out of things I've watched before. It automatically adds stuff that's airing so I already have everything released in the last year.

I'm mainly looking for 60s-2000s era content. I have five other people sharing the server with me. I'm tired of going through anidb looking for stuff I haven't seen before. Half of what I find isn't available anywhere anyway.

I have two shows from the 50s. The Kitten's Doodles and The Kitten's studio. I have about 6 shows from the 60s including Speed Racer.

I like old animation. It's cool to see how the styles developed over the years. I have a lot of stuff from the 30s-60s but most of it is American and admittedly not very good. Some of the 50s stuff from America is fun though. I watched a lot of animation in the 90s as a child that lampooned it. Ren and Stimpy did it all of the time.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but I recommend the cartoon OK K.O. It's from the 2010s, but it's very much stylistically in line with Cartoon Network shows from the late 2000s like Chowder and Flapjack

The new rurouni kenshin looks flippin GOOD (Although not on the level of Tsuioku good but that's impractical). Which is nice for me because depending on how much they adapt this is probably up in my top 3 greatest battle shounens of all time. Would be amazing if this goes beyond just re-adapting what the anime already covered and properly doing justice to the later manga arcs because that's the greatest fault of the original IMO. Although the new OP is definitely no sobakasu..... It's hard to top a 10/10 opening I wish the new one was at least comparable...

Anyways, with this I kinda wonder what /qa/ thinks about the uptick in higher budget remakes of older anime? I find it a bit worrying because of the precedent Hollywood set with it, but everything so far has been pretty quality (This, Urusei Yatsura, Mahoujin Guru Guru come to mind). Also as a positive it seems that these new remakes, if source material has updated since the original, are doing more the Brotherhood style of remake in which they adapt the source material more accurately and to its conclusion instead of just being an advertisement. In a way I think I'd actually prefer more of these since I hate the way so many older anime are just sitting in the "next season never" bin and if a full remake is what's needed to see them adapted to finish then so be it. I will happily eat up the Spice and Wolf remake if that's what'll be done as well.

A shame that the same can't be said about how it sounds. The OST in this new version is serviceable at best, but maybe that's just my bias coming into play from having watched the original and its soundtracks being one of my favorites of all time. I don't know how to express it as a musical smarty would, but the tension and impact are extremely lacking. Also it doesn't really feel like it has anything unique to it, it's just battle music. Really, they should've just repurposed the old OST and maybe done remasters at most.

Although, if there's one thing I'll give credit to the new one in terms of OST... It doesn't play this fucking song every single other minute whenever something slightly emotional happens. One of the worst parts of the original.

The worst part is that it's a really good OST on its own, and you'd never think that you'd get annoyed of it. But I remember them swapping from whatever was playing to it so many times that I got sick of it at one point. Maybe memory serves me wrong, but I feel that at one point they switched to it twice in the same scene.

I know its chiefly a comedy series, but how do you not lose motivation to engage with UY when the manga spoiled who would win very early

Because I adore the characters and don't really care too much about the end goal as I do the characters and the situations they get themselves into. Who cares that it's filler if you're having fun? Not like there's always some grand meaning to everything.
