Write access to public repos is not optional?? As well as full read and write user data?? Flee, far.

You can use PAT

What is PAT?

Personal Access Token

Unfortunately will not make it to the frontpage but very cool

This deserves the frontpage so much. This game looks better in some ways than GoldenEye 007 on the N64, which was on a 12 MB cartridge. And the video is such a great and fun explanation of how it was done.

The article grossly underestimates the energy needed to be stored. You cannot fly an aircraft planning to use 100% of its ‘fuel’. You need alternate(s) and final reserve.

Whoch likely mean doubling the required size of the battery pack, making it infeasible.


> Fuel consumption in flight reduces landing weight. Battery weighs the same landing and take off. Harder landing costs

It’s not that much in terms of bodyweight on a regional jet compared to a long haul.


I wonder why it’s an issue for readers. Has anyone of you read all past great sci-fi books?


I assume they plan/hope to sell much more than 500 units, and/or the profit margin is much higher with China manufacturing.


not more terrifying than sitting in any turboprop airplane.


It’s a static page, there is no backend. That’s why a static list, for example computed every day via an action is the way to go.


Author here! Thanks this is the thought I was having too.

Got Quite a lot of feedback which is what I am greatful for having. Firstly gonna fix the name-casing issue & then this is my second priority!


Update: Done! [Most likely, If I find the time to do so,I will keep an eye on it for a few days to see if its computed daily or not but I am most likely sure that it might be the case]


It would not make much sense to compute it, if you do not subtract the karma earned through submissions.


> It just seems like these kind of design choices needlessly add a barrier to entry for people who want to climb aboard.

Any experienced programmer knows syntax is a detail, and would not be deterred by that.


By that logic, there was no value added in updating the syntax from ANSI C to C99: no reason to add double-slash comments, no reason to allow function-local variables to be declared and initialized where you use them instead of the top of the function, and no reason to omit a return statement for the main() function.

From your reasoning, it also follows that using infix notation instead of Polish notation for arithmetic does absolutely nothing to lower the learning curve.
