All the AI hype aside, I wonder if there is a way to avoid becoming one of these faceless corporations where customers are just numbers. For years Amazon has been fantastically cus…

Mind that nuclear power relies on favorable weather as well. It's not uncommon in Europe that nuclear power plants have to shut down, because the rivers they use for cooling become…

That's not correct. "Arbeitnehmererfindungen" only apply to inventions you make as part of your paid work. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeitnehmererfindung Whatever you do i…

The even more concerning news to me is that chardet 7.0 is now vibe coded AI slop, as documented in the PR for the rewrite [1]: > I put this together using Claude Code with Opus 4.…

When was the last time you played 0ad? Each release brings new changes to balancing and especially a27 contained a lot of them.

> My understanding is that the simulation will be bottlenecked by the slowest PC. That's correct. While 0ad is an RTS, behind the scenes it's still turn-based and in multiplayer ga…

There is also some exciting work going on to improve the path finding of formations to make them behave more naturally: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8608

Fun fact: 0ad still doesn't support kerning. While I would've loved to see proper kerning support in r28, there is only so much a team of volunteers can do. If you're interested in…

The best players are incredible at microing (although horse rushs are just one of multiple strategies). It's also equally important to manage resources and units in a way that you …

It crashed for you? You must be running Arch Linux. ;-) Arch Linux used system-provided SpiderMonkey which lacked a crucial bug fix. This issue should be solved by now, by Arch Lin…

Making a high quality campaign is quite some effort and the engine still lacks some features, which would be helpful for this. A dialogue system is one of them, which already has a…

I believe the main reason that Flattr failed was just bad execution. After a successful start and Flattr being used more and more, they just stopped iterating on it, leaving it dor…

Good point. Seems like I enabled it in ~/.ssh/config ages ago and did forget about it. Nonetheless, it's good to check whether it's enabled when using rsync to transfer large, alre…

I wonder if the at least partially the reason for the speed up isn't the multi-threading, but instead that rclone maybe doesn't compress transferred data by default. That's what rs…

Not sure how you got to that conclusion, as the pre-commit framework does indeed abstract them away. Maybe you're confusing it with something else? > hooks shouldn’t be run during …

The pre-commit framework [1] abstracts all these issues away and offers a bunch of other advantages as well. [1]: https://pre-commit.com/

The measures were related to the specific cause of the unintended charges, not to never incur any unintended charges again. I agree AWS needs to provide better tooling to enable it…
