We need more release-quality open source games! With this project, I hope to show some real-world use cases of Godot 4 features. I've worked hard to make the docs and code understandable and well organized.

Interesting - you're describing my experience with Unity, and I ultimately switched to Godot because of my frustration with Unity.

I've been following lemmy [0] for a while, a federated reddit alternative in the same spirit as mastodon. It's still very small, but I think as monetization pressure on reddit increases, people will look for other places to post and this might be one of them :)

edit: add the link [0] https://join-lemmy.org/

Most recently, he's actually rewriting all his tools in a forth-inspired language he's designed himself: https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxn.html

One of their stated goals is to show people how to write a compiler in Elm, and another is to allow programmers familiar with Elm to hack on the Elm compiler without needing to learn Haskell.

To me, this looks like one of the few real ways out of the madness that is modern frontend development. Excited to see the approach gaining adoption!

You make it sound like a big audience is the only thing that matters. The linked post talks about a personal website as a digital identity. Giving people a link so they can find you online is a good reason to have a website, even today.

Besides that, making your own website is rewarding in many other ways - Being creative, getting thoughts out of your head, pinning down certain arguments you tend to repeat, etc.

Calibre is a complex beast that has a bad track record regarding security and will keep using python 2 even after its deprecation.

For anyone interested in more alternatives, https://switching.social is a well-written and maintained directory.

For one thing, you might not want to risk being in jail.

If you include this code in firefox itself, you can review the code and verify that the official firefox binaries use that code.

I find it interesting that this is financed by the EU.

My first reaction to this was a lot of skepticism - the article makes a lot of bold claims without backing any of them up. I was ready to write this off as another sleazy mud-throwing operation when I found the official EU site [0] describing the team and their goals - including "Effective communication and promotion of EU policies towards the Eastern Neighbourhood". The biased writing and this "promotion of policies" really make me think this is no better than the "fake news" everyone complains about.

I can't believe how rude the comments in this thread were. I generally agree that we have too much complexity in software, but I also feel that often people take the "minimal" software notion to an extreme level of elitism, excluding and attacking people for reasons not related to the original goal to make better software.

I agree, this is definitely a problem, especially for more ambitious use cases. I've done quite well without e.g. typeclasses, though.

I'm using elm so I don't have to learn any of these things. I enjoy knowing almost all parts of the language. Also, in 95% of the cases, it provides enough flexibility to solve the task at hand.

This would be quite the workaround though, completely evading the root of the problem (slack).

Nice! I'm currently reading 'A guide to the good life' and am always looking for ways to incorporate stoicism into my daily life.

I'd love a 'distraction free' mode concentrating on only the timer (maybe even removing the 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds' texts) :)

I'm hopeful that a Patreon-like donation model will prove successful for apps/products with a passionate userbase. Ulysses, as described in the article, does seem to have a pretty active community with a lot of people willing to pay.

Has anyone read up on the proof-of-stakes algorithms mentioned in this article? I didn't hear of those before.

according to the article, the balances of the bitcoin addresses collecting the ransoms are

15.13562354 BTC = $26410 13.78022431 BTC = $24045 5.98851225 BTC = $17361

Assuming $300 per ransom, this works out to a total of 226 victims who paid. this seems a little low compared to the huge amount of infected devices.

I love this! Just digging through the documentation, excited to play around with it :)

second this. devdocs is awesome.

What happened to yeoman? Wasn't it supposed to do exactly this and even more?

I especially agree with 3). I was expecting more people to mention this. Compared with other build systems like wepback or gulp, meteor rebuild times are insane.

edit: Just checked out the Meteor Roadmap, and build times are not even mentioned there.

I remember that I found the documentation quite hard to read at the time I was checking it out.

IIRC, torrent clients do heavy checksumming by default. You should be mostly safe from malicious content.

That's a good point. And running node.js on an IoT device still makes sense to me, but emulating a browser just seems unnecessary.

I never understood why people want to use browser technologies for the internet of things.

This behavior is one of the reasons not to call JS a 'functional' language, IMHO.

The Google Drive link to linux seems to be the same as the one for the mac version. The OneDrive link works, though :)
