multiple dependencies,

Also requires two other packages to run its 3 lines of code.

"dependencies": { "@scure/base": "^1.1.7", "uuidv7": "^1.0.1" }

I really dont see the benefit of these. its just guids with extra steps. its not any easier to read than guids.

its an alphanumeric random string in both systems.

yes theres is kinda symetrical. but im not going to find it easier to communicate/remember say:

38QARV0-1ET0G6Z-2CJD9VA-2ZZAR0X

any easier than i am

d1756360-5da0-40df-9926-a76abff5601d

both are long random strings. both are awkward to have to read over say a phone call.

what am I missing here?

ok but what about desktops and non oem silicon

I funded life over the pandemic selling bots for MMO's. Made way more than I expected. Enough it became a full time job for a while. Died down a little after people started returning to work after Covid.

But still makes a decent passive income.

Nice. What MMO did you target and what languages / frameworks did you use?

Wow. This is something I'd love to hear/read more about. I always assumed the bar would be high in that area given the anti-cheat software in play.

Not OP but I used to make bots for MMOs for personal use (never sold them). I used Sikuli to write Python scripts to repeat automated tasks for me to basically grind 24/7. Sikuli was pretty great because it makes it easy to do image recognition on the screen and click on specific buttons.

I could have my bots play minigames as long as I could write a basic AI to do it based on the the objects on screen. It also won't flag any anti-cheat software because it doesn't hook into the game at all, just watches the screen and emulates a mouse+keyboard.

ran it on windows with what should be overkill hardware.

5900x, 3090, 64gb ram

Performance was terrible. Lod Steaming barely worked at all. Nothing moves like in the demo videos. Its all static geometry.

I get this is running a webbrowser (I presume just c++ compiled to wasm) but its barely even worth showing if this is what they have managed after all this time.

You have some weird threading/locking bugs. Its possible to reset the counter by spamming refresh a few times.

Someone did open a issue about this and I think I fixed it.

Lol Hey Ferib, Sad to see you go :( you had some promising work out there

I love this series.

Implimented my own interpreter of the back of the original series. Managed to get a type system and all sorts added.

The author was even responsive via email giving me hints on where to investigate extending it further. (belive I was trying to add lists at the time).

Having followed a ton of 'how to write a programming language / compiler / ect tutorials'.

Its the first one to really make me grok what's going on and move beyond just copy pasting examples.

So thanks Bob. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you! This means the world to me. :)

No thank you!

I have some spare change kicking in a bitcoin wallet gathering dust and would like to buy you a coffee got an address I can send it to?

Couldn't see one on the site or your blog.

Give it to someone more needy than me. When the book is done and I have the print edition out, the easiest way to say thanks is to buy a copy and/or write a nice review.

Until then, just enjoy it. :)

Define Survey application. Your website litterally tells me nothing :/

If its anything like some of the other survey sites asking you to complete X surveys to get payed a few dollars. Actually paying out would be the best start. 90% wont ever actually payout and are total scams.

Those that do are mostly broken. Surveys wont ever complete ect ect.

I spent a few hours in a throw away vm trying a few out one day just to see if it was actually possible to make any cash on those sort of things. Its not.

It's not traditional to say the least. The focus is to be more like a youtube partners program.

So the users of the application aren't trusting a random source to deliver, but people they are already familiar with.
