@stathissideris: that looks really useful, thanks

wish I had a better way of producing X3D files in my project - current approach runs out of memory

@meow: should be easy to wrap that with a nice interface that's a bit more clojury, right?

I don't know but if so it would be great as blender is the swiss army knife of 3d graphics tools, especially for file import/export

I don't use Blender, but only because I want to do everything in clojure

I have it installed here, just keep myself from using it

why not mix and match tools? why are you so strict about sticking to clojure?

because my ultimate target is to create a virtual reality universe and I won't get there using blender

and the universe I am going to create is, um, complicated, to say the least

I'm too impatient to wait for the singularity so I figured I would create one myself

or more than one, but we'll start with one

reality is just a recursive, axiomatic, rules-based process

collect the whole set

available at fine retailers everywhere

oops, look at me, giving it all away again, when will I ever learn

Alchemy: All for Free, Free for All

Attempt 2.0

What's Your Quest?

so I'm guessing you're inspired by this? https://xkcd.com/224/

lol

and it shows

perl

ruled the world back in 1999

if you wrote perl you only wore black t-shirts

I did

I can't believe I once liked perl

with perl saying "code golf" is redundant

@meow: have you read Greg Egan’s Permutation City or Diaspora? They might be right up yr alley...

nope - will check them out

what are they

fiction books, right - think I saw them mentioned recently

Yep, hard sci fi

what's good about them

are they better than soft porn

Depends on the porn

But they both touch very interestingly on "reality is just a recursive, axiomatic, rules-based process."

Permutation City more directly, although Diaspora is ultimately the better book.

there is no good soft porn - lame & boring

I need a good book so will look for those, thanks
