Wow, I just came here to comment that I've always wondered if a game where you have to program an elevator scheduler would be any fun. I thought surely no-one's thought to make tha…

Ah, I suppose I did word that poorly—I more mean that a significant breaking change (Casks that previously were documented as being excluded from auto-updating suddenly being auto-…

You need to set HOMEBREW_NO_UPGRADE_AUTO_UPDATES_CASKS to 1, as alluded to by a hint when it (first?) occurs. This means if you have hints off (via HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS) then I su…

The first image which annotates the controls has a "Push-to-Talk button" which is used for "Voice communication" and "AI assistant activation".

You could, but that doesn't make /either/ an acceptable to market towards kids.

Tangentially related is NASA's open source GMAT[0] software which is more focused for calculating orbital transfers and the like. It's pretty fun to play around in. [0] https://sof…

It's really not that simple. See this for a good explanation of why: https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horri...

Funny, I just started playing The Wise-Woman’s Dog yesterday—it really is excellent! I’d also secondly endorse Dialog. It’s a really intuitive way to think about the game world as …

Even if the changes aren't "meaningful" (which it seems like they are), they still have an impact in how it makes the contributor more comfortable with working on the project. No n…

I think it's probably less frequent nowadays, but it very much does happen. This still-active lawsuit[0] was made in response to LLMs generating verbatim chunks of code that they w…

The issue is that you need an account to view the replies, not that there's a moral opposition to visiting the website (though it could be that too).

For what it’s worth, I’m definitely leaning “Apple fanboy” and have been amenable to their past UI redesigns. This is the first that I truly think is a regression, and I immediatel…

NoRedInk[0] also uses some Haskell in their backend, as well as Elm for most of their frontend. They've also worked some with Roc according to a blog post from a few years back; no…

As someone who regularly flits between Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, and Numbers regularly (with my most time in Google Sheets and Numbers), and as someone who's made some extre…

Considering the quotes have an unknown, and almost certainly not public domain or CC BY-SA license[1], they wouldn't be appropriate for any Wikimedia project. [1] And even if submi…

Speaking as a chronic procrastinator, I think GP is more referring to the difficulty that comes with actually /adding/ items that need to be done. At least, that's always been one …

The content reel was uploaded to their PeerTube[1]; I don't see the other two videos on there yet, though. Edit: The node tool introduction is now also live[2]! [1] https://video.b…

The release page is now live at https://www.blender.org/download/releases/4-0/ .

Wow, I'd never seen those before. As far as ads go, those seem really stand-out—seriously creative, and even self-deprecating for the sake of promoting XP.

What’s the benefit of waiting a random amount of time between requests?

If you want a replacement you can use `telnet telehack.com` and then run `starwars`. If you want it in a single command you can do something like `zsh -c '{ sleep 1; echo starwars;…
