    Analyzing stuff (especially code) down to the last detail on that layer of abstraction. I can tell you one fact about how bad MCreator generated code is, and a lot more about random code bugs (often minecraft related).

    The local train line i use nearly daily during the semester.

    A bit less reading manga and watching anime.

    I also play a bit of osu.

    But generally nearly everything that is some kind of intrinsic relation (not names or model numbers but how something works etc.) is interesting for me.

      Ooo, I didn’t know what MCreator is but I looked it up. Oh yeah, for sure - autogen code is pretty awful. I think it’s getting better with ML, but I think in general a part of the reason why they generate “spaghetti code” is so that people can’t just a) copy their idea and create a cloned generator and b) people who use services (I mean MCreator I think is free?) can’t start to analyze code and figure out how things work and then actually just branch of and create simple websites they self-host instead of paying a monthly or annual fee.

      Toss me a cool manga? The last one I read was askfhafkhasfkh…let me have a think…Ichi the Killer. Not my typical bag, but I was on this Takashi Miike kick and I wanted to see the manga behind his infamous movie.

      I’ve met people who have beautiful minds like yours that take apart electronics and build new things from old items. I really dig people like that. It’s helped me branch out into trying more on my own. It’s also expanded the lifespan of most of my day-to-day devices which I dig. So keep being you, and pass on the inspiration to others =)

        Mcreator is so bad, if you do a raycast you do it three times. Once for each coordinate axis.

        To recommend you a manga i would like to know what kind of manga you like to read. So for now i just tell you the general recommendation of Dungeon Meshi (aka Delicious in Dungeon). Its about a group of adventurers exploring a Dungeon to rescue the sister of one of them. But since they had no time to prepare for that they eat stuff from the dungeon (monster meat, fungi, plants that grow in there). You can probably read it at your local library.

          Yeah, that is kind of sketch. I wonder if it’s done that way because when they compile it each function is written as a single line as to not confuse the compiler? (As in there was some kind of bug found that they found that they chose the simplest route to fix even if it’s the most convoluted/memory intensive manner of fixing it.)

          I just asked for whatever you dug and figured I would check it out and if I liked it I would read it and if it wasn’t my cup of tea no harm, no foul =)! Thanks for passing it on. I used to read a lot more manga, but I had the itch for something and I am more apt as a person on the whole to read something suggested than tracked down. So thanks again =)! Esp the cute little summary. I feel like this could be a cute game, or a mod. Which by the by, you should make =P!

            I assume it is that way so they don’t let the users deal with the Position type directly. But that is speculation on my side.

            I could try making a mod out of part of the mechanics described and shown in the manga, but that would take a long time. If i remember it when i’m back at my pc i’m gonna put it into my list of ideas for programming projects (but it will probably take years until i actually start creating the mod)
