Your lack of ambition is disturbing...

If the Tesla is on fire, the price is much higher!


For the right price, you can buy a Presidential Pardon after a hit-and-run before arriving at your destination on time. Tesla will even call the police car chase off in real time.

> the tendency for wages in jobs that have experienced little or no increase in labor productivity to rise in response to rising wages in other jobs that did experience high productivity growth. In turn, these sectors of the economy become more expensive over time, because their input costs increase while productivity does not. Typically, this affects services more than manufactured goods, and in particular health, education, arts and culture.


This is a really roundabout way of referencing the scene in Silicon Valley where he figures out the new algorithm while everyone else is having a side conversation about how best to manage the conference attendees.


Isn't that the difference between God and Simon O'Rourke?

Or is this a Larry Ellison joke?

(The difference between God and LE is that God doesn't think he's LE)

Excerpts:

"My husband has never allowed me to write, as he doesn't want me touching mens pens."

"I bought it for all my female friends and relatives. It enabled them, finally, to write things (although they may not yet know to do so on paper; but you can only expect so much, really)."

No screenshots? ;p

Also - IMNSHO the obvious name for this project is Zoom - but that's been taken by a similar game where you slay your coworkers by talking too much.

The next obvious candidate therefore is Dork :)


No argument from me; your suggested names are spot on for the game comprised of the resultant melange. Albeit, I still maintain that Wadzilla is the exactly correct name for the tool that creates the mashup.

Also.. screenshots? Of text. Text describing a 2.5D world comprised of 2D graphics rendered in 3D for presentation on a 2D display in our 3D world? Yeah, you’ve got the spirit! :-)


A screenshot as in a graphical representation of a typical screen during a game would be nice. It could be a text block in monospaced font.


There are other fun "terminal capture tools" like https://asciinema.org/


Yeah guys, I was just joshing, and actually if it isn’t obvious, I was joshing in a positive way (hence the “spirit” comment; I think it’s a good idea.)

In the mean time, I tried to document the limitations and make it clear that I didn’t consider it plug-and-play, and that I will appreciate feedback, bug reports, and PRs.

I will prioritize addressing things from the comments here, as well as taking advantage of the documentation talk are graciously writing. ;-)


Please no dictionary words! Some of us search for things around here you know.

How about calling it "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" ?


Mitr in Hindi means friend.

Mazanav sounds like "majha naav", which means "my name" in Marathi, the language spoken in Mumbai (which is where the translator seems to live / have lived).

So, in summary - my name is the friend. Hello Mitr!


Translator here:

"Damitr" is literally the acronym for my name and Maza-nav माझा नाव in Marathi means my name.
