One of the sequels "Maelstrom" has some incredibly prescient descriptions of the Internet as this overwhelming useless medium that was taken over by bots and ai...back when llms st…

Always thought Riak was a really cool database, distributed by default kinda blew my mind at the time! Would love to hear more about basho

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Fantasy_Live_Online this is probably the one I still think about the most. I was huge into Phantasy Star Online and a true console MMO was so a…

Is there anyway to ensure these logs are output in a current project folder? Would like to store a copy in git for reference

Loved the node up podcast, especially the episode on databases. He was always a great presence on there. Played a big roll in getting me back into hobby programming after I finishe…

Hahaha I thought of this immediately when I saw the article title. I fell asleep on the train a few times and ended up in Ome or Okutama when I was living in Tokyo after a long nig…

I thought this was an incredible well executed/engineered art/commentary on using an incredible amount of technology to create a similar....likely sub par experience to getting a d…

Godot is an amazing project and when learning it from an excellent Udemy course (below if interested) I was shocked at how often I was impressed with the design/consistency and ver…

I remember this being an incredible book when I read it back on my moto droid phone in 2009ish on Kindle app...time to listen to it on audible. The biggest thing I remember is it i…

Hahaha funny seeing you @fzakaria here, knew I recognized that name! We worked on a hypemachine scraper a long time ago 12 or 13 years ago, glad to see you are still around writing…

I don't think there has been a ton of iteration on it, but did you run into any specific problems or bugs or is this lack of recommendation based off caution against adopting somet…

Thank you this looks like a great place to start!

I have been wanting to play around with drone swarm simulated behavior, does anyone know of a sim that would let me do something like this with 10 or so drones?

Came here to post almost this exact sentiment. I am not sure why but in college I checked out the Peace War and I largely credit that book and a few others for getting me back into…

I came here hoping someone would mention this, it's really strange and for a while I had just attributed it to the Air Force base traffic or Tampa International nearby, but it keep…

I just dove into this the last few months working through a Udemy course on building a vampire survivors clone in Godot 4....highly recommend (here is the author talking about it h…

Does anyone have a consolidated timeline of the counters by Apple and patches by beeper with technical details? It would be fascinating to read

Just signed up this seems like it will replace some docker containers I have running on a free tier of fly.io dumping into a supabase free tier. Very cool thank you for sharing!

This book is great...I am a big fan of the rifters trilogy also by Watts. They have some great fictional speculation on the Internet and how it's chaotic mix of automated agents te…

Do you have any good resources on how to make consistent characters or art styles? I have been meaning to dig into it for a while. I'm sure it's a combination of prompts and image2…

This is great...How hard would it be to port a model to Godot....just getting started with hobby game development and this might solve one of my issues

Is there any more information you can share about this, curious to know more

I feel you...this describes a lot of my github. I find I burn out after I get the fun technical part done and it's a viable proof of concept. The polishing going to release it to o…

The one where they altered a gif to invoke legacy pdf compatibility libraries that was somehow turing complete and used it to bootstrap a VM that performed memory analysis to escap…

I have been using refine for ~3 months. It has been a great experience and has finally let me (as primarily a low level C or server side deno/node JavaScript dev) crack into making…
