I think that’s up to device vendors giving parents decent controls and parents monitoring their kids devices. Which is admittedly not great, but still better than the honor system and more reasonable than submitting your license.

The idea isn’t to let sites restrict adults, just let them restrict kids. So there wouldn’t be a child internet.

The… what?

The Internet Archive would be the usual place.

On a superficial level it’s a lot nicer than Ada for people who didn’t learn to program on Pascal. Rust’s real flaws don’t show up until you need to do large refractors and change your application’s memory model.

By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don’t plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?

If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?

We consider people’s private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.

I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.

How do you litigate ‘intention’ in this way?

Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at ‘simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years’ remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what’s feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

I’m so hype for typed dictionaries

I guess what I’m trying to say is that his contrarian personal views and his contrarian technical views are both expressions of some underlying contrarian-ness. Not that we shouldn’t be asking if he’s a decent person, just that I’m not super surprised to find out he’s gone mask off weirdo.

I lost all respect for his technical taste when he confessed that his daily driver is FreeDOS. I know linux folks skew at least a little contrarian but at that point I don’t think we’re speaking the same language of computing and there’s not much I can learn from ya. Not super surprised to hear he went way overboard contrarian in other ways I guess.

Similar situation here. I held on to mine until it couldn’t run Godot 4 then finally moved up to a newer Thinkpad. I still miss that keyboard…

Now you see why Romulans ended up a recurring villain… very strong start. Compare that to how long they took to bring back the Gorn!

It’s not specific to Godot 4, but I found this couple of videos really useful for understanding how to build interpolated multiplayer in Godot:

Warzone 2100 was my jam! They hadn’t actually got cutscenes working in the Linux port I was using so I was.very confused about the story.

Huh, TIL about the Pliche: https://lowendmac.com/musings/pliche.shtml

Termux used to rock but nowdays installing stuff is very hit or miss.

x86 apps? Awesome.

In Excession it felt more like
