What does AAA-budget-quality mean? Minecraft was made by one person and is still a very simple game, utterly unlike the ‘genuinely AAA’ shooters parent was talking about. Same with Stardew Valley and probably several of the others you’re talking about.

Fallout might not be ‘focused on shooting’, but it still has the look of a typical FPS game. It’s as if game developers have mostly converged on a standard game design. There are exceptions, but there’s still so much untapped room to be more creative.

I think it is true that most money in the games industry goes into making games that heavily feature guns. Films are the same; even the seemingly non-violent premises apparently have to involve constant peril and frequent (gun) violence. Maybe it’s a particularly American thing.
Only half joking: "web apps" include ElectronJS stuff like Slack, that are not exactly lightweight.
If AI training company needs to train only on materials that they paid for the copyright of and never on materials that are just publicly available on the Internet then a person should have the same obligation. What you read influences what you create. If AI company trained on publicly available texts that it didn't pay for can't publish AI creations then a person who trained themselves on information they haven't paid for a license to shouldn't be allowed to publish anything either.

Everybody loses right to patent it. Which is fair.

In US someone else can still patent your invention if you didn't. That's where the extortion is to patent it.

ANS encoding was invented and published by it's inventory without patent explicitly for everybody to be able to use it.

And yet Microsoft just patented a subset of it. It was granted a patent on a thing they didn't invent and was already published for the explicit goal of leaving it patent free.

ASO.dev – ASO Tool Built by an Indie for Indies
As an indie dev, I’ve always been frustrated by the high cost of ASO tools, most of which are built for big companies with massive budgets. Paying $100 to $500 a month just isn’t practical when you’re bootstrapping a project solo.

That’s why I created ASO.dev—a powerful and affordable ASO tool made specifically for indie developers. It offers everything you need, like keyword research, competitor tracking, and more, but at a price that works for us indie devs.

If you’re fed up with overpriced ASO solutions and want something built with indies in mind, give ASO.dev a try. I’d love to hear your feedback!

What makes me really sad is that you've identified a problem with capitalism but decide to push it onto your customers. It's true that most users won't rate unless asked, but that just means they don't want to and it's not your place to “make them”.

Last year, I went for an explicitly useless project of this kind, which would probably qualify as an "elaborate ASCII art generator": ray tracing into ASCII graphics, in Emacs Lisp [1].

Afterwards, after (or during?) AoC 2023, inspired by both that project and AoC, I wanted to work on something similarly fun and useless, and composed a RISC-V emulator in Emacs Lisp [2] (RV64GC, but with unfinished floating-point operations; emulates a few Linux syscalls, so can run some programs, like dash).

Other exploratory and educational projects tend to be pretty useless as well, but not always so explicitly, and then questioning their usefulness may spoil the fun.

The US state where I was born and raised has 3x the population now as compared to when I was born. Wild, isolated places I enjoyed have been replaced by row upon row of houses. Roads that were empty and fast are now white-knuckled congestion.

I would love to give that gift of wilderness to someone else. You are proposing a world where everything is dedicated towards human habitation. Your view only makes sense from the POV of someone who doesn't care about natural places, or being the lucky chosen one who can afford their own reserve.

> We've solved harder problems.

You are mistaken. We've delayed harder problems. As Norman Borlaug ("father of the Green Revolution") said in his Nobel Prize speech in 1970: "The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise, the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only"

He was an optimist. "Since man is potentially a rational being, however, I am confident that within the next two decades he will recognize the self-destructive course he steers along the road of irresponsible population growth and will adjust the growth rate to levels which will permit a decent standard of living for all mankind."

Really good software has automation built in, in the form of macros/scripting.

One of the reasons my bash terminal is more effective than point and click is the easy of automation of routine tasks: from history and aliases to scripting.

Software interop is trickier as it doesn't so much depend on being able to send messages from one piece of software to another, it's you need an agreed format of those messages ( whether they be expressed in the payload of an API, or a UI specific stream of point and clicks ).

Fiduciary and CoC Violations by the Executive Director of PSF – David Q Mertz
Dr. David Mertz was the other individual banned from the Python Discourse forum, alongside myself, on Jul 19. In this open letter (published Oct 1), Dr. Mertz argues that Ms. Deb Nicholson (PSF executive directory, secretary, and board of directors member [1]; also a member of the PSF Code of Conduct Work Group [2]) acted improperly in removing him from his remaining volunteer role with the PSF (on the Trademark Work Group); and that her decision has foreseeable negative financial consequences for the Foundation.

A short follow-up (from Oct 15) [3] criticizes a motion by the board apparently intended to give Ms. Nicholson such power retroactively, claiming that this is legally improper.

Things I've learned maintaining OpenStreetMap
I'm not the person you're asking, but I may be able to satisfy your curiosity a little. I have given birth without anesthesia -- in fact, I did so twice. I found it arduous and difficult, and there certainly were moments of pain, but I would not describe the experience overall as exactly painful.

You know how when you've been running for a long time and you really want to stop? That was the primary unpleasant sensation for me. Something between a muscle cramp and a side ache, though quite intense. Really uncomfortable, really hard work. Very distressing if you freak out about it and get frightened, but actually a pretty cool experience if you lean into it. Toward the end of labor there was some significant pain, enough to make me yell, but there was also so much going on that I was very distracted from it. You can experience some pretty significant pain and not be very badly distressed by it if you're super focused on some goal and working hard for it, and boy does childbirth have that effect. ;)

Now, you shouldn't overly generalize from my personal experiences. Every pregnancy is different, and every delivery is different. But I have always thought the characterization of childbirth as the greatest possible pain was overblown. In my experience, it was more like a major athletic event which involved some significant injury - a marathon or a boxing match or something in that neighborhood. You do really injure yourself enough that it takes some weeks to heal, but I honestly think that part of the equation is comparable to a bad sprain. Maybe a bit worse, but much more like an athletic injury than some of the horrible diseases people get.

At any rate, it is not the most significant pain I've personally experienced. That prize goes to an infected gall bladder / passed gall stone. I've also had leg cramps which I thought were more painful than childbirth, though they didn't last as long. To relate it to the original claim, I definitely think it's plausible that dysentary is worse. Internal organs dying is high on the pain scale.

(If you're curious about why I chose to avoid anaesthesia, I hadn't liked it during my first delivery. I had a long and painful labor during which anesthesia was delayed, and when I finally got it, I found it didn't much lift my distress -- I later understood that was because my pain wasn't pain exactly, it was me doing a poor job of working with my body. Aaand I was at a dumb hospital that had put me on my back, which is painful, and I didn't know any better. Anyway. I didn't see it as really relieving my discomfort, but it did confine me to bed for a couple days and robbed me of being my most alert and best self during a very important moment in my life. My second two deliveries were better experiences than my first.)
