It’s unclear if this comment missed the fact that the previous user was using mimicry as a rhetorical device to critique the original poster, or if it was an attempt at 'yes and'-ing by doubling down on the brevity. In either case, the question would have been more effective if directed at the grandparent comment, since that is the actual source of the unsupported assertion.
itzg's docker image for Minecraft makes life quite a bit easier - switching mod loader, versions etc. with environment variables is simpler than continuously downloading versions and juggling directories.
Why not? Docker is effectively free on Linux. You only get the performance hit on macOS and Windows (since it runs the containers in a hidden Linux VM).
Sprite sheets are png with ztxt blocks with meta/frame info and a list of drawing operations to be done to construct vsprites based on any runtime server side operations done on the sprites.
There is limited client coding via popup Web view windows and a few js apis back to the client but nothing you can build too much off of.
(SS14 brings this model to an open source c# framework called The Robust Engine but has some limitations related to maintainer power tripping over who should be allowed to use their open source project.)
This was one of my first forays into modifying c code, trying to figure out why 350mb seemed to be the biggest brain size (32 bit memory limits and requiring a contiguous block for the entire brain).
I miss the innocence of those days. Just being a teen, tinkering with things i didn't understand.
I remember reading the source of the original MegaHAL program when I was younger - one of the tricks that made it stand out (particularly in the Loebner competitions [1]) was that it used both a backwards and forwards Markov chain to generate responses.
The nice thing about LLMs is that they can explain stuff so you can learn to understand. And they are very patient.
For example I'm currently relearning various ImageMagick details and thanks to their explanations now understand things that I cut/copy/pasted a long time ago without always understanding why things worked the way they did.
More seriously I picked php because it lets me get away without having to strictly define anything and just get away with fuzzy logic. I want to jump on the bed god damn it!

I made a very popular open source multiplayer video game faster (ss13) and then got kicked out of the community because I spoke out against sexual harassment and transphobic gender essentialism.
Been doing code and system/server administration for 15 years.
Once handled a 80gbps DDoS against a game server by making a tcp cloudflare out of micro vm haproxy relays (with first packet inspection to detect spoofed connections) and a cron script to sync nftable blocklists. This system is still in use.
Made a coqui-ai/TTS->RVS Machine Learning pipeline run on $200/m entry level GPU instances that could handle 100k requests an hour with less than a 250ms RTT in 99% of calls. This provided text to speech for a chat heavy video game with 90 player servers. This was my first python project and first time working with machine learning/AI. (<https://github.com/tgstation-operations/tgtts>) It was abandoned for a bloated mess that costs 10 times as much to run around the time I came out as trans (I'm sure it has no relation :3).
Have 0 years of professional employment in tech (it was all video game or open source stuff as a hobby.)
Please help me break into tech. I'm a bitching trans woman who clearly has skill :3
