Closest is perhaps the web platform tests

I couldn't understand why someone would want to reimplement Pizza Tycoon, until I realized I played it's sequel as a child, which is much maligned compared to the original.

I tried the sequels and they never clicked for me either. Probably also due to the missing nostalgia factor :)

As to why I did this; when I had some time between university and starting a job many years ago I was looking for a hobby coding project and was inspired by TTDPatch and OpenTTD so I figured I'd do the same but for Pizza Tycoon. No specific reason other than that I played the game a lot as a teenager and there were some small things that I found annoying, so I saw some room for quality of life improvements. Fully aware that not many people care about this game (also didn't really expect to really get very far tbh), but still I had (and have) a lot of fun and learned a lot in the process of writing a modern engine for this.


Pizza Tycoon, while not the most famous game, is still very well regarded! I've only played Pizza Tycoon/Connection 2, and so I don't think nostalgia is why I didn't love it. That said, something about it stuck with me over all these years (I ended up purchasing it again as an adult on GOG, long having lost the disk).

Good luck! It's not always about the destination :P


The LLM prose are grating read. I promise, you'd do a better job yourself.

Given how dumb their workflow is (let Claude Code push directly to production without supervision) I'm not so sure.

Yah, this is what I do, however I think this is what GP is talking about when they say savvy (or maybe I'm flattering myself). Plenty of folks with their full details on their profile.

Home ownership is in the public record tho, right?

Right, this is true, so it is possible to associate a person to their photos.

My main concern was revealing my home address, however, and I don't believe my actions on iNaturalist allow folks to go from my name to my address.


> Do people even read these papers?

Overwhelmingly, no. You may have mistaken this for a lab's reading group, but most people here just skim the README, maybe read the abstract or figures. Expecting them to do more is uh... a bit strange?

But also you can forgive people for equating loss with performance, which are admittedly different but related ideas.


This is reminds me of the input gates of an LSTM.


You can replace Canada here with almost any other OECD country and this would be accurate.


I encourage anybody to go look at the magnitude of the largest housing bubbles in the past few decades. Canada's ranks near or at the top in any comparison from any source.


Housing affordability has been in the dumps for years now and Canada's happiness ranking was much higher in previous years.


Things are getting worse in a variety of areas, not only housing. But no, it must be that we never heard of social media until two years ago.


I agree that the social media explanation is weak, but the things dragging Canada down are the same amongst most of the western world in my opinion, is all.


They agreed to the no LLM policy.


Would pipx solve the problem?

Would need "(2018)" in the title.
