Aren't there stable astral radio signal sources detectable with ng quantum sensors; such as Rydberg antenna arrays?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine the time of day on earth (~theta) given lat/long?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine lat/long/altitude given the current time?
How many astral signals does a receiver need to fix to determine to infer the current time, given geometrically-impossible triangulation and trilateration solutions given the known geometry of the cosmos and the spherical shape of the earth?
There is a regular monotonic tick in quantum waves; but not a broadcast planetary time offset/reference?

We had a monochrome green aerodynamic simulation app literally on floppy disks in middle school in approximately 1999 that was still cool then. IIRC various keyboard keys adjusted various parameters of the 2d hull that was tested to eventually - after floppy disc noises - yield a drag coefficient.
TIL that the teardrop shape maximizes volume and minimizes drag coefficient, but some spoiler wings do generate downward lift to maintain traction at speed.
A competitive game with scores and a leaderboard might be effective.

Navier-Stokes for compressible and incompressible fluids, but it's a field of vortices with curl so SQG/SQR Superfluid Quantum Gravity / Relativity has Gross-Pitaevskii for modeling emergent dynamics like fluidic attractor systems in exotic states like superfluids and superconductors and supervacuum.
TIL the mpemba effect says that the phase diagram for water is incomplete because one needs the initial water temperature to predict the time to freeze or boil; those have to be manifold charts like HVAC.
There's a Gross-Pitaevskii model of the solar system; gravity results in n-body fluidic vortices which result in and from the motions of the planets and other local masses.

Also, recently I learned that longitudinal waves in superfluids (and plasmas) are typically faster than transverse standing waves that we observe in fluid at Earth pressures.
UML class diagrams in mermaid syntax require less code than just defining actual classes with stubbed attrs and methods in some programming languages.
Years ago I tried ArgoUML for generating plone classes/models, but there was a limit to how much custom code could be round-tripped and/or stuffed into UML XML IIRC.
Similarly, no-code tools are all leaky abstractions: they model with UI metaphors only a subset of patterns possible in the target programming language, and so round-trip isn't possible after adding code to the initial or periodic code-generation from the synced abstract class diagram.
Instead, it's possible to generate [UML class] diagrams from minimal actual code. For example, the graph_models management command in Django-extensions generates GraphViz diagrams from subclasses of django.models.Model. With code to diagram workflow (instead of the reverse), you don't need to try and stuff code in the extra_code attr of a modeling syntax so that the generated code can be patched and/or transformed after every code generation from a diagram.
I wrote something similar to generate (IDEF1X) diagrams from models for the specified waterfall process for an MIS degree capstone course.
It may be easier to prototype object-oriented code with UML class diagrams in mermaid syntax, but actual code shouldn't be that tough to generate diagrams from.
IIRC certain journals like ACM have their own preferred algorithmic pseudocode and LaTeX macros.
> The magic of QuickBasic was that it was an editor, interpreter, and help system all rolled up into a single EXE file. Punch F5 and watch your BAS file execute line-by-line.
I tried QB64 a couple years ago, but IIRC it's still compiled as opposed to interpretative, e.g. you can't Ctrl-Break and drop into the current executing line of BASIC code unless they've radically changed how it works.
Rather, QB was the pico8 of the 1990s. Convenient, self-contained, mysterious, quasi-powerful, in-app help menu for the entire language and API, and a few built-in demo games.
Pretty cool! I honestly hadn’t seen display3d before, not when I was researching similar projects, nor while working on my own and debugging issues. Just checked it out now, and as someone currently learning Rust, I really liked it and definitely starred the repo. Love the Unicode rendering idea.
Textual looks fun too, feels very much like a Python equivalent of ratatui from Rust, I also has a project with this library. Definitely something I might explore for building overlays or adding interactive controls around the core renderer, though curses also can render basic buttons and menus.
As for FSV, yeah, that’s more in the OpenGL/GPU territory. My goal was to stay purely terminal-based. By the way, I wasn’t sure if you brought up FSV just for the retro-3D vibe comparison, or if you had something more specific in mind? Curious what you meant there
Maybe it was an ascii CLI video of a 3d scene that I remember seeing.
Maybe molecule visualizations? Is it possible to discern handedness from an objcurses render of a molecule like sugar or an amino protein?
Could a 3D CLI file browsing interface useful enough for a computer green scren in a movie like Jurassic Park or Hackers be built with objcurses? wgpu compiles to WASM and WebGL
> A versatile “Paint & Scribe” methodology is introduced, enabling to integrate LIG tracks onto any wettable surface, and in particular onto printed and flexible electronics. A process for obtaining freestanding and transferrable LIG is demonstrated by dissolving acrylic paint in acetone and floating LIG in water. This advancement offers novel avenues for diverse applications that necessitate a transfer process of LIG.
I still don't understand why that's only possible with commercial inks and dyes but not with also aromatic fruit peels?
Is there a good way to add __del__() methods or to wrap Context Manager __enter__()/__exit__() methods around objects that never needed them because of the gc?
Also, there's a recent proposal to add explicit resource management to JS: "JavaScript's New Superpower: Explicit Resource Management"
