Estaria mentindo se dissesse que sou muito antenado na área política. Gostaria de ser mais. Seja como for, tenho o dever de escolher o que acredito ser a melhor opção. Para mim é Lula.

Você acha q está por cima pq trabalha por conta própria ou tem seu próprio negócio e não depende desses programas? Fico feliz pelo seu sucesso, de coração, mas por favor, se pergunte: vou ter o mesmo volume de serviço/vendas se esse dinheiro todo for tirado de circulação?

Explico: certamente há problemas com as políticas públicas governamentais de assistência, mas reduzir ou eliminar recursos destinados a elas sem um plano concreto para amparar o impacto da retirada desses recursos da economia é o mesmo que criar uma recessão econômica ainda mais severa.

🔥 (to be released) New usability feature for Nodezator With the new "ziplining" feature, users can shift-click a connection in order to be transported to the next node instantly. This can be used to traverse the graph back and forth. #python #pygame-ce #open-source #node-editing #foss

Since we know we want to visit the next connected node regardless of its location, why spend time scrolling the screen? That's why ziplining exists. Reason it is not released yet is because I'm waiting to release it along with the next batch of additions/changes I've been working on.

As a former chemistry student, I realized that from day one: from the notion of rate-limiting step we can infer that all tasks for which AI relies on people to correct it's course the speed with which the task advances depends on the slowest phase, which is the rate at which a person can revise.

Faster garbage is still garbage and even when it works, this turns code into the equivalent of magic rather than a scientific/technical pursuit, not to mention the human and artistic aspects/decisions. Does code that you don't even understand counts as professional output?

My honest feelings about the fact I don't use genAI/LLMs. I mean no disrespect to anyone or their personal choices. Thank God I remembered this cartoon. The underlying premise fits so perfectly. Original art by Caio "Furfles" Slitka, retext/edit by me.

For those who need things spelled out for them (because we live in such times): When people say they don't use genAI/LLMs, they are - not - worried about the underlying invisible chain of tools that support their work, over which they know they don't have total control.

🧵 This is how I tried to make the action of teleporting in and out of a mission area (level) more cohesive. As seen below, the first thing that happens is Blue teleporting into the mission's area. Notice the satellite dish near the spot where he lands. #indiedev #Python #pygame #pygame-ce

What about the writing behind dying and restarting a mission? Is the character immortal? Does he goes back in time? Should the character ever acknowledge his own death? Is he even aware of it?

In conclusion, the existence and placement of satellite dishes as teleportation equipment serves not only game design purposes, but also the writing, helping make the world a tad more cohesive/believable.

After defeating the boss, the character doesn't teleport away immediately either. Since teleportation is dependent on satellite dishes, Blue walks back just a little ways in order to access the satellite dish that lies just outside the boss area:

Also, only the first satellite dish is turned on when Blue enters the mission's area, which explains why the character couldn't teleport right away to the boss area.

This detail seems trivial, but think about it like this: if game characters could teleport in and out of a mission's area whenever and wherever they wanted, why wouldn't they do it to escape threats or to tactically teleport right next to an unsuspecting enemy?

Throughout the mission area, Blue finds other satellite dishes and this is what happens when he touches them:
