looks like taking the square root of the radial distance does it mathworld.wolfram.com/DiskPointPic...
a cool way in n dimensions involves normal sampling but that's not readily accessible to js alas

Disk Point Picking -- from Wolfram MathWorld
To generate random points over the unit disk, it is incorrect to use two uniformly distributed variables r in [0,1] and theta in [0,2pi) and then take x = rcostheta (1) y = rsintheta. (2) Because t...

truly has done untold damage to language design. we can't even have bit ops with the right precedence because we keep inheriting what C did before it had && and ||, in 1969

i've written (the start of) a game in asm before and i have no idea how, say, coroutines work. i could take a rough guess but i kind of don't want to know; feels like it would spoil the magic. it's nice to work with different sets of primitives sometimes i think

one of the coolest things about python is that you can compute a big thing and just get an answer. it just works. it's somewhat less cool now that everything is 64-bit but still cool. i cannot wrap my head around preferring /not/ getting an answer, preferring the computation be impossible

i don't at all get where you're coming from here. languages shouldn't have features unless a C programmer could explain them to a total beginner in an hour?? we better get rid of malloc then

what? why? who cares? do you really think a beginner is going to get a big number from python and think "oh no... i have no idea what the underlying bits look like"? or get a crash from zig and be delighted about it because the computer didn't dare exceed its constraints?

granted, sometimes the semantics are completely incoherent. but i think that happens most often when a language is designed by someone who themselves saw it as basically a layer atop something else, not a whole world unto itself

i think the best chance you have at getting along with any language is to accept its semantics at face value and try to understand it on those terms. otherwise everything is just asm macros and that feels miserable to me. it's like reading a book and going "well these are all just letters really"

lua decided counting from 1 is the most obvious thing to do. likewise python decided int overflow is insane and bad so the language simply doesn't have it, even though that's how computers "work". languages exist beyond the instruction set used to implement them

i never understand this attitude honestly. it runs on a real computer but that fact isn't like, binding. languages have to do a bunch of backflips under the hood to make stuff like closures Just Work, and there's no direct analogue in asm or C, but they're great so we do it

but also a regular object containing undefined is detectably different from having nothing there, so maybe there are four? or maybe that's the same as the sparse array thing

i think my issue is that you're describing this as pedantry while glossing over crucial details to make it work, which makes it not very good pedantry. pokémon snap is more of a first person shooter than portal because at least you aim at creatures, not surfaces

that would kind of fuck things up if you tried to use # for iterating in order, which is the main thing you use it for
the number of entries in a non-ordered table is a much less common thing to care about

it's very funny when programmers lose their minds over the 1-indexing though. i 100% also used to feel that way but found out (a) it comes up less than you'd think and (b) for every place it seems more awkward, there's another place you don't have to subtract 1 from a length, so it balances out

i don't know if i'd say that i "like" lua, exactly. but i respect the hell out of it and we have a truce that's held for some years now
