Also you can write a perfect specification get into implementation and have to step back and redesign. Software is fast to iterate and test that a lot assumptions can be proven by …

Games and other specific applications call for such unidirectional data flow with such massive amounts of "independent" entities. It isn't that it'll catch on or not outside the ga…

Not omniscient but I do let them update the system information from one station just because it caused me issues with goal weighing since their information was so limited they almo…

I did! I am more familiar with Godot but just ran into performance issues and then switched off their node scene straight to their rendering API, which made me feel like I abandone…

Yup, lots of stuff I'd love to dive into that having an assistance coder makes way more approachable on nights or weekends to get things done. And yah, ideally there should be tons…

I built this with Claude cause I always wanted to tinker with a simulation economoy and I love space themes. A space-economy sim where nothing is scripted. A few hundred autonomous…

Meh, we should just ignore that kind of propaganda. We copy things too, we use a system to protect IP because copying is such a normal and strong human thing to do. In fact, when w…

It's a personal assistant I've been working on for myself and my house. So it's very much designed around my wants but I think it's pretty cool. A not cool thing is it's using most…

There seems to be a team sport mentality with AI topic in HN these days. Almost feels like people are picking sides, and thus not being very thoughtful or rational. Sigh, there def…

I liked the Lua filters for solving issues on DOCX stuff for Markdown to Docx. For PDF stuff I haven't needed much Lua filters since switching to WeasyPrint for the PDF engine.

I'm confused, why are you arguing about this? Stick with YouTube. This isn't for you. It's even in the name. PeerTube. Peer. Your talking about 'consumers' of a product you produce…

Thank you. It is a bit bizarre reading this thread.

It's true, but I see it happening. I’ve watched seniors with 30+ years of experience adopt them successfully without losing their classic rigor. Personally, I get huge mileage out …

I think a better analogy is cartoon or animated films. The artist, creator, engineer lays the key frames, the plot points, characters, etc. The team builds it. Fills in gaps, espec…

I thought bringing this article up during the AI era might spark some good discussion. My thoughts to start: I read this a while ago, and it shaped how I think about iterating on s…

Well I've enjoyed making little "flash" like games with AI. I have a SKILL.md for how to build out a pico8 game that it updates when it finishes a game. I give it an rough idea, or…

I thought modern science doesn't reject anthropomorphism anymore? That's it's more nuanced and that it caused more problems than it helped by rejecting it out right? I think we wer…

That's a good point. For me it's getting people to realize they need to take up practice that help minimize these things. It's kinda us and them problem. We need to ensure we don't…

It's the exact same logic people used for Apple computers back in the day. The idea that Macs didn't get viruses because they were inherently more secure. But that wasn't true. It …

People make this joke often. It's package managers and how loose we are with installing them, not NPM. Cargo,PyPi,Nuget,PHP has had these recent too. It's not just only NPM. It's f…

That being entirely unfair. It is still a skill. They still learning stuff. It does not help them to be trapped in a bubble. But nothing is not transferrable. Things we learn, even…

Vagrant I used a lot early on in my career to learn Ruby on Rails in Windows. Thanks a lot for your work!
