• The problem we encountered in my last writing was that gnome-clocks was taking about 300 milliseconds to complete a basic search query. I guess the idea is that if you type “paris” into GNOME Shell you’ll get the time in either Paris, France or one of the Paris’ in the United States. I guess 300 milliseconds wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t also consume 100% of the CPU during that time.

• Thankfully in my career I’ve had plenty of opportunity to work with database search indexes. So I have some practical experience in making that stuff fast(er).

• So this morning I put together a small search index which can be generated from the Locations.bin using the libgweather API. That search index contains the serialized document form and a series of trigrams for the GWeatherLocation textual representation. That search index is meant to be static and installed along side Locations.bin.

=> ↺ Adrian Gaudebert: Dawnmaker’s endless conundrum of infinite replayability

• Over the last few months we’ve had the opportunity to show Dawnmaker to a lot of people, and notably a few publishers. We had the good fortune of receiving very valuable feedback on the game, which allowed us to identify two important problems with it, or at least, with its demo. The first problem is that our artistic direction isn’t compelling enough, but that will not be today’s topic — though we are, of course, working on it.

• The problem we’re going to discuss today it that of replayability. Some of our players, and most of the publishers we talked to, have expressed that they do not feel inclined to restart a game after they lose. Once you’ve understood the patterns of the game, restarting a new game feels like doing the same thing again, and it is boring. That feeling was especially pronounced for players losing in the 2nd or 3rd region of the demo: you have to restart at level one, a level that you have already mastered and don’t feel like going through again.

Python

=> ↺ Louis-Philippe Véronneau: pymonitair: Air Quality Monitoring Display with MicroPython

• I’ve never been a fan of IoT devices for obvious reasons: not only do they tend to be excellent at being expensive vendor locked-in machines, but far too often, they also end up turning into e-waste after a short amount of time.
