    I'm confused - it feels like orchestration tools or how to organise agents is one of the most frequently discussed topics? When I posted this comment there were 4 posts on the fron…

    I think this is an excellent start! I have a few questions/comments. - the site said it would be worked on collaboratively, but I couldn't find a way to do that? I interpreted that…

    It's nape-js https://newkrok.github.io/nape-js/index.html While the gummy geometry one is a little twitchy, but most all the other demos were very stable, much more than most other…

    I’m confused - is it the actual source code, or minified/bundled code? I don’t think those two are the same thing - unless of course you write your code minified. That would be rea…

    One of the things I miss most about the Amiga workbench is variable size icons. I love them, and miss them That giant battletech icon before you play that fantastic turn based hexa…

    Thank you for writing and sharing that. It's one of the simplest and sane explanations I've seen. How did discussions go with accountants separating the debits/credits into being a…

    Accounts (in the accounting sense) are unitless, and refer to whatever meaning we ascribe to them, so we can transfer value from $ to shares, or USD to GBP or whatever. Lalit descr…

    I guess it depends on the complexity of ones personal finances? The author had multiple currencies, investments, and who knows what else. I ran a small business for a while, and I …

    I must have read half a dozen intro-to-accounting books, and it never ever clicked for me. I understood the concepts, the benefits, but it just felt 'wrong'. It wasn't wrong of cou…

    I really enjoyed reading this, and it is inspirational as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. And as a software developer, it really appeals to me. How do you thin…
