I don't think "flirt" should be used as an acronym for anything that doesn't necessarily involve actual flirting. Parties, novels, even chimpanzees - fine. Trains, COVID variants, paragliders? Just stop.

Let's popularise a bit 😋

Because I like to create stories, I'm starting a for you:

Episode 1: "Jew or Israelite?"

(The definition of is easy: "in the State of Israel". So it doesn't apply before 1948).

" may have one of two meanings: ethnic and religious/secular. Neither is linked to citizenship in Israel-Palestine.

  1. The Israelites (referred to in the Bible and the Koran) were an ancient people.

Wikipedia: "Archaeology tends to place their origin in the last centuries of the 2nd millennium BC, after the collapse of the great Egyptian and Hittite empires which dominated the Near East. Societies settled in the highlands between the Palestinian coastal plain and the Jordan River".

The State of Judah had Jerusalem as its capital. It was "defeated and annexed by the Babylonian Empire in 587 BC, and part of its population was deported to Babylonia."

Who wants to read a 468-page report examining the technical feasibility of flipping the NE corridor over to 60-cycle power commissioned by the FRA/Amtrak? And why don't we have cool program names like Electrak anymore? -- https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24238240-1970s-60-cycle-report

Every Unity GameObject has an associated transform, which comprises three vectors: position, rotation, and scale.

If you want to change the rotation, you use the Rotate method.

If you want to know what the rotation is, you'd think you'd access the rotation field. There is such a field, but it's not the one you want. You need to use eulerAngles.

🤦‍♂️

Behind the scenes, rotation is actually a Quaternion. I understand there are reasons for this, but displaying it in the Inspector as Rotation (with three components), and setting it using Rotate (with a Vector3 and an angle) made me expect that rotation would be a Vector3.

A game where you fly through an infinite tunnel at an increasingly fast speed and see how long you can avoid crashing into the walls.

Gimme name suggestions... Tunnelshot is a bit generic. Menu screen is a bit bland.

Gimme some ideas!

A screenshot of a first-person view of flying through a tunnel. The tunnel is syled using randomized, dark colors with white wireframe edge highlights.

mansauce, to memes in Firefox is the only way.

actually the name of Blink engine is quite interesting, it was named after the non-standard html blink tag and ironically it never supported it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine))
