This reminds me of anyone who went from normal life with normal funds to extreme wealth at a young age, not surprising, this is just the nerd version of rappers / ball players / young actors etc going through their own rendition of this.
It’s a cult, or at least, the leadership is trying to turn it into one. Cults have done weirder stuff, up to and including actual suicide.
39 members of Heaven’s Gate drank phenobarbital and died, believing this would allow them to escape Earth on the Hale-Bopp comet.
900 members of the People’s Temple (Jim Jones) drank cyanide-laced koolaid (actually FlavorAid) and died. That’s where the phrase “drink the koolaid” came from.
I think it would be much less of a problem if there was an explicit, clear delineation between the legal text and the art. The HTML version is much worse in this regard as well: the license in question reads like part of the text of the document (though the meaning it has in that context is quite ambiguous).
OK, but there's a lot of artwork in here: the opening-page image has lines like WE ARE ALL ONE IN LOVE -- is anyone taking this text too for a legal commitment?
Added: oh, the seppuku is in the HTML version without art, though you have to click to make it visible. Retracted.
Wow, it's weird to think that people can be so proud of their terrible ideas. To go so far as to post it on their own website. Project 2025 was published this same way.
I thought the "seppuku" line was hyperbole, but there it is in black and white. You can jump directly to it with a Ctrl+F.
Everyone thinks their ideas are brilliant and that the ideas that run contrary to theirs are terrible. Your comment is tantamount to saying "I disagree with these ideas".
I agree with your sentiment, but something this big should have been run through a committee of not-yes-men before publishing. I feel like honest feedback would have stopped this.
I know there are people who believe there is no such thing as bad publicity and that it is better to be remembered as a monster than forgotten, but not me.
That is not true. Other people can have good ideas, bad ideas, kind of bad ideas, very bad ideas, terrible ideas and off the chart stupid ideas.
So, no the comment is not tantamount to saying "I disagree with these ideas". It is possible to disagree with an idea that is not horribly bad. It is possible to disagree with an idea that is quite smart, just with a trade off I dont prefer.
If you equate terrible with bad. Since most ideas at the far end of the scale are both emotional and the means to an outcome you feel very strongly about, yes,
I'm puzzled by the -- @import comment syntax used in these main files. Did they have to build custom Luau tooling for type-checking across files for this, and why not use require()?
Other than this, the example games had easily readable and clear code.
> Risk adjusted percentages and mortality odds ratios were adjusted for age at death, sex, race, ethnic group, and educational attainment using logistic regression.
Adjusting for educational attainment is an intriguing choice. If higher educational attainment were to decrease risk of Alzheimer's disease, wouldn't this adjustment optimise out the factor that they're looking for?
Otherwise very interesting results and conclusions. Also what's up with the outlying occupation on the left side of the 1st 2 charts on page 3: "Personal care and service workers, all other" with a mean age of death of 50.65?
Nice, I first saw this on Hack Club ;) Check your terminal to see if it supports certain colours, on mine the darker and lighter colours (eg. maroon/red, purple/magenta) look identical.
