WHY2025 is the next big Dutch Hackercamp, also IFCAT event in 2025. The name WHY2025 stands for What Hackers Yearn 2025. The event is organized for and by volunteers from and around all facets of the worldwide hacker community.
When: 8th to 12th of August 2025 Where: Geestmerambacht is 52km North of Amsterdam
Knowledge sharing, technological advancement, experimentation, connecting with your hacker peers and hacking are some of the core values of this event.
WHY2025 is the successor of a string of similar events happening every four years since 1989. These are GHP, HEU, HIP, HAL, WTH, HAR, OHM, SHA and MCH.
Similar events are 🇬🇧Electromagnetic Field, 🇩🇰Bornhack,🇧🇪Fri3d Camp and 🇩🇪Chaos Communication Camp.
John Carmack has basically hacked the universe through his mistake. Given enough time his wrong value will be picked up by so much code that eventually we will have no choice but to keep using it .
Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.
Unless your hardware is stuck in the 90's, why not just make pi not a constant, and use functions that calculate the values in real time instead of using the lookup tables? testing would be much easier that way.
The badge for HIP97 was not digital but it was pretty cool for the time, it had a printer photo of yourself in b/w on the front so they where all live printed at check in. I still have mine 🙂
Cool! Could you share the story behind that and some pictures for a future episode in a DM somewhere? I'd love to see/hear more as HIP97 was before I knew about those camps
It makes so much sense because the value of pi effectively defines the tangents that hold gsme entities to their source locstions. Because the scale hasnt been impacted, the entities fail to meet their full space and thus bounce between them whenever the player moves because the one entity is trying to occupy two spaces at once. Really awesome game and awesome POC.
