this post gives me the same impression as what @bitofhope@awful.systems mentioned about netcode the other day: some just straight-up :bigthonk: applied with a handful of bits of actual clue, and threading the needle between platformer jump-pads A through Z hoping you get there with a safe landing all the way

holy (pun not intended) actual fucking shit...

ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit

hot take but okay

ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit. For instance, God could have encoded a monkey jpeg in the human DNA. This would be irrefutable evidence of his existence.

has to be a jpeg though. pngs not allowed.
