But you can make games that much more interesting if your algorithms are on point.

Otherwise it's all "well I don't know why it generated map that's insane". Or "well AI has this weird bug but I don't understand where it's coming from".

I could imagine there being a cause for FreeCAD if it ever gets accepted as the "we don't want to pay for AutoCAD" solution in some less developed nation education system.

On a more optimistic note, it does seem to be improving with time. Maybe one day it'll have the Blender transformation happen to it.

Well, one question is how it'd be paid for. You can't really have a federated payment provider, can you?

So would you have to pay for each separate server somehow, gathering them up like streaming service subscriptions?

Yeah, I was being a little tounge-in-cheek there.

Well, time to switch to watching Nebula?

I can't see how it will work for small-time creators though. Or for people who just want to show a video online.

Just use FreeCAD! \s

Although you can do things in it. There's also OpenSCAD but I have never done anything complex in it and I can't imagine it being used in a professional environment.

Math notation is just terrible in general because a lot of it is shorthand made up by someone who likes single-letter variables. A symbol you can't type, something above, something below.

A for loop is clear and descriptive.
Or if you're feeling fancy, you could go functional with reduce(add, range(0, 5), 0).

In my experience, the managers get confused when issues/PRs are closed without any comment.
Useless comments beat having them pop into your slack to ask "hey, did you review this?" with a link to an approved PR.

and then you have lua

local result = condition and a or b

I'm not complaining, although it gets a little confusing when one of the results is falsey. Which is a rarity since only false and nil are falsey in lua.

Imagine actually posting anything.

"Complicated names for simple features" seems to describe Haskell crowd pretty well.

Thank you for a straightforward explanation!
