I had a quite literally hottest character I ever came up with: A wizard that liked fire a bit too much for his own good. He was a master of flames, the best from the Monastery he spent decades on. But the more power he gained through the fire, the more and more he lost his own mind. At the time of the campaign, he was in a sort of Limbo. He couldn’t remember most of his life, and he couldn’t shake off the insatiable desire to spread the flames he encountered. If he spent too long besides a fire, he would start to hear It louder and louder, to the point where he would lose control and be possessed by his flaming desire, which had full memory and access to the spells he no longer remembered, which often resulted in the complete destruction of everything around.

I actually got to play this character, and was a ton of fun with the party I had, but unfortunately the campaign was put on hold indefinitely due to personal matters of the DM.

It’s way worse on C and it’s family. I still have nightmares with undocumented embedded dependencies that are so intertwined with the codebase that make JS look like a godsend.

Easy: murder everyone. Which will probably be the course of action this Skynet will take.

I think the Butlerian Jihad can’t do shit against Judgment Day.

The name of my current party is Pyromaniac Diplomats. It perfectly describes how the party works.

Cleric: Summons food from thin air with Create Food And Water.

Funnily enough, the only time I used that spell, it was to use the food for ammunition and to turn the water into napalm.

Yes, I also realised that a while after posting my comment. Corporativism is a plague that turns everything into a shittier version of itself.

I’ve seen a lot of native applications run way worse compared to their electron alternatives. The problem is most devs don’t give a shit about code optimization.

but a few JS-blocking users have complained about having a barebones experience.

Well no shit, have they ever wondered why the language was created in the first place?

No need to be sorry, I am well aware I can be wrong, and I prefer to learn something new than being bashed for being wrong.

Maybe I phrased it in a way different than I thought about it. I didn’t mean to claim that Shannon-Fano or Huffman are THE most efficient ways of doing it, but rather that comparing it to the massive overhead of running a LLM to compress a file, the current methods are way more resource efficient, even one as obsolete as Shannon-Fano codes.

I should probably have mentioned an algorithm like LZMA, or gzip, like you did.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t algorithms like Huffman or even Shannon-Fano code with blocks already pack the files as efficiently as possible? It’s impossible to compress a file beyond it’s entropy, and those algorithms get pretty damn close to it.

Would you prefer Javascript?
