The moat is also external libraries, documentation, teacher materials and youtubers from India making incredibly specific videos on your exact niche subject.

In Octaves case many of these start to be covered, I did some courses back in Uni fully with Octave, but I couldn’t do all.

10 hours of feeling like an idiot for 1 minute of feeling like a genius.

You seem to be talking about computer games, so I will say this:

• The easiest way to do this is to forego the hardware altogether. Mouse movements and keyboard inputs are trivial to generate programmatically and grabbing the screen contents is easy too. Building a software that understands the objective of the game and can react accordingly is the hard part
• If you wanted to do this outside the computer where the game runs you could emulate a HID device on another computer and forego the keyboard and mouse, but it would be only useful to avoid some anti cheat systems
• It is certainly possible to also build a mechanical system too, but adide from being a fun challenge for an experienced mechatronics engineer, I don’t see the point, especially if you are a beginner

In all of the above, start with the first one these solutions can be expanded to be more complex.

What games are you looking for that would benefit from this, that don’t offer computer opponents?

Interesting thing is that they are restricting info available about the device, like number of supported fingers on display and cores on a processor, but this is liable to break some sites.

Hey, I had been searching for a reasonably priced NC hosting for a while. I even considered a VPS from Hetzner but somehow didn’t find this. Thanks for pointing it out.

A little while ago I met someone whose job is to worry about international affairs and they were worried about operating systems.

After that I started worrying about every end user device in Ukraine shutting down until peace was negotiated.

There’s also Rails and Hotwire, which works like this.

My imposter syndrome kicked in full swing. I was ready to learn a CSS best practice and feel uncomfortable about it for the rest off the day.

I don’t get it, isn’t this a pretty normal way of using media queries. Granted you’re more likely to see the widths defined in px.

Do you know if there were any other contributors to the project? I’ve always held the view that the tail of contributors should prevent relicensing under incompatible terms.

It’s a shame you are being downvoted, although I don’t (mostly) agree with you, I feel your opinion contributes positively to the discussion.

It used to be the case yea, but my experience last 5 years or so has been that especially for old hardware everything works out of the box.

Might be extremely hardware or distro dependent though.
