- GSGBen parentAh yep, I read about the TCP RST problem in one of the RFC docs, then promptly forgot about it and never implemented anything to avoid it. Thankyou for the detailed notes.
- Still seems to have an issue, but no output before the crash. Will have to do some more debugging. Thanks for the test HN!
Source is here btw: https://github.com/GSGBen/unsafehttp/blob/main/src/main.c

Other tips: I still had issues going too granular with GOAP actions at the start, so I recommend keeping your actions as coarse as possible. It's still a tool that you use with your AI designer hat on, it doesn't do everything on its own. But the power of being able to throw in a new goal, maybe one new action, and have the existing actions solve all the other prerequisites, is amazing. Defining world properties and states is a muuuuuuch lower mental load than using utilities for actions.
I wrote it all with performance in mind, and it seems to run fine. Basically lots of caching (each world property is only evaluated once per AI per tick then re-used, shared values are cached for all then re-used, etc); eliminating invalid paths early; and searching backwards from the goal instead of forwards from the current world state. I test with 4 AI players on an old i3 laptop processor from ~2016 without issue.

- Hey, thanks! I was thinking about game ideas while stepping into the shower one day (where all great ideas are born), and "throwing people in a first-person view might be fun?" came across my mind. I mentally fleshed it out a bit, and wrote it down. When the idea I was already working on turned out to not be fun, I shelved that and started working on this instead. When I prototyped the basic throw feel and it already felt fun, I decided to run with it.

- Damn, and I thought I loved powershell. This is awesome.
Another of the author's projects sits solidly between awesome and terrifying: https://github.com/ShaunLawrie/PwshRayTracer
> A very slow raytracer in PowerShell that has been optimised from ~100 camera rays traced per second to 4000 rays per second on a 4GHz 6 core CPU with a few tricks
> Because I've been learning a bit of serverless stuff I was curious as to how much faster I could run this using PowerShell in a webscale™ setup by distributing the processing over as many concurrently running lambdas as I could get in my AWS account:
> By using Lambda with large memory sizes to get more cores I had >250,000 camera rays per second (~62x my laptop speed) but I managed to rack up a $200 bill over a couple of bad runs
- I used to use Trello for my entire personal KB, but the description editor grows unwieldy with large cards and you only get a few levels of nesting. It's still great software.
It took a few times to stick, but I've now fallen in love with Obsidian and am migrating everything except a large project's task-tracking system to it. The WYSIWYG editor, fully nested hierarchy and fast full-text search is fantastic and makes it better for my personal documentation.
I'm extending my Trello backup project to make the migration easier. Take a look if you're considering the same move. https://github.com/GSGBen/t2md
