There's an article with an outrageous title (claiming one's getting towards the goal of simulating existence!) and the top comment is about "he doesn't use version control?!".
That's so HN.
That's so HN.
If I made a game that had a day and night, sleep and awake, food, drink, sex and death, I could claim that it simulates 100% of the interesting parts of existence. To cast that as actually simulating existence would be silly, though.
The entire article is about this.
It would be hard to find a paragraph where this isn't explicitly mentioned.
You didn't skim very well.
