"export PATH=$DIR:$PATH -
That particular pattern is way too common, and is very dangerous if
you consider the case when [$DIR or] $PATH (or whatever your variable is, like
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH) isn’t set. Then, the value will be :/path/to/dir,
which usually means both /path/to/dir and the current directory,
which is usually both unexpected behaviour and a security concern."
No, patrolling your streets like you would a warzone is bad for everyone. It’s not a war. Any allusion to it being a war is bad. It is policing.

Precisely, and it's quite ironic given Steve Jobs' original envisioning iOS as chiefly relying on web apps. The App Store mandate of banning non-WebKit browsers is entirely technical in nature and self-serving; to prevent apps from including third-party JIT compilers[0], and maybe (like Flash was) other browser engines are viewed as unoptimized and insecure for the platform. It's doubtful that Apple actually cares about preventing Chrome's takeover of the web. This is not the guardian you are looking for.

I think so yes. There's very few engineers that can pull out this type of work IME. In a pool of ~30M SEs around the globe I'd say there's no more than ~30K of such engineers. This is 0.001% and it's a very optimistic number I'd say.

Why do you think this would be controversial? This isn't an every day work.
Leaving aside the corruption thing there could be a lot to be said for satellite coms for aircraft and air traffic control as air traffic is global and the only way to have a system that will work anywhere including over oceans is satellite really.

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance is mostly bogus. This research is usually invoked as an alternative to the much more straight-forward, easily verifiable influences of normie genetics. Since these are not deemed socially desirable, this epigenetic pseudoscience gets millions in funding.

It does seem a shame that it can't be recovered and donated to museums or preserved in some way. I assume that it would be prohibitively expensive/complicated to try to do so, but it's a huge part of the history of space research, and it's a bit of a bummer to just throw it away.

If low level find someone find apprentice under and or Find a job in the industry.

If on with higher level stuff (using an engine) use youtube.

I am doing the self teaching thing for low level with a web and CS background and it is brutal. I am currently on a one month break because one of the challenges I faced was too much.

There are discord channels I join to discuss, ask questions and learn.

I rely heavily on youtube but yeah sometimes it’s a lot. Gamdev is insane.

If you’re just using an engine just focus on shipping small games and start from there.

Even if it means copying a tutorial and changing one little bit.

No.

Firefox is still my primary work browser because all the anti-tracking stuff Orion does actually breaks some sites I depend on (well, makes them harder to use anyway), but Orion has become my main and I have lost confidence in Mozilla.

If you want to continue using Firefox as a kind of service to the world or weird self-imposed civic duty, that’s on you. I can pay for Orion and know that there is a company with an actual business model behind it and also not worry about misaligned incentives, or fixing all the tracking and telemetry defaults (only to watch my hard work crumble like when a random Firefox update hosed my settings on my personal machine a couple years ago) because there is no telemetry.
ARIA: A framework for managing AI participation in software projects
I built ARIA to address an emerging challenge in software development: defining clear boundaries for how AI assistants interact with our codebases.

As AI coding tools become more common, teams need a standardized way to specify which files AI can modify, which it can only analyze, and which require human review.

ARIA provides:
- YAML-based policies with inheritance support
- Pre-defined models (Guardian, Observer, Assistant)
- IDE integration for Windsurf and Cursor
- Conversion to IDE rules and ignore files

The project is early (alpha) but functional. Documentation is available at https://antenore.github.io/ARIA/

I'm curious if others are encountering similar governance challenges with AI in their workflows, and what approaches you've tried.

I would ask anyone making these kinds of deflationary arguments to explain if the same argument can be applied to the best of human creative work. Humans also use the raw materials of others, whether that’s words, musical scales, genres, idioms, or anecdotes.

Where is the line between recapitulation and innovation? Is it a line that we think current LLMs are definitely not crossing, and definitely will not cross in the near future? If so, make that argument.
Nice! Love to hear the war stories.

Do you have insight into what may have allowed some of the anecdotes others are describing, of bootleg versions being the versions used by Google Music/Youtube Music?
Your assumed scenario was a magic button to recompile it.
Look into where the term "open source" came from (the "Open Source Initiative").

Here's a quote from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source):

> Open source as a term emerged in the late 1990s by a group of people in the free software movement who were critical of the political agenda and moral philosophy implied in the term "free software" and sought to reframe the discourse to reflect a more commercially minded position.

The GPL and Free Software were always political from the very moment Richard Stallman conceived of the GPL.

A couple of thoughts:

1) The story of stone soup is the story of how some grifters got a free meal. I don't think it's moral instruction, or an example to be learned from, unless you are a grifter.

2) In the stone soup example and in cases like Wikipedia, the soup is freely shared with everyone, regardless of their contributions. Is AI like that, or in the AI stone soup story, are the travelers charging everyone for a bowl of soup? Doesn't that change the story quite a bit?

I'm not a game dev, but I watch Tim Cain's[1] YouTube channel, and I think it's a treasure trove of experience-based stories and advice.

https://www.youtube.com/@CainOnGames

[1]: Tim Cain created the original Fallout (pretty much designed the whole universe), and a number of other successful games after. He's an engineer through and through, but wore a lot of different hats, and has an interesting perspective on all aspects of game dev.
It would be nice if Radicale could serve a FREEBUSY URL which takes contents from a your calendars. Some applications support this format and can help with scheduling meetings. I never got to use it in practice though.
Can't give real answers without data on Starlink reliability (or non-consumer features), but personally as someone who depended on ATC both as small time pilot and more regularly as passenger, I'd be wary of sat radio as main backhaul.

Of course Verizon can fsck it up as well, but multiple leased fiber lines, possibly direct MPLS with guarantees on latency and bandwidth, or maybe even DWDM between major locations sounds more reliable to my instincts.

Most importantly I don't trust the hatchet job way this is done, not just on Starlink use, but the whole hatchet job with FAA.

With density of flights in USA, intra-ATC Comms are non trivial part of safety - passing flight information on structured messages rather than by hand between areas is... More than important.
The high price is there to ensure nobody thinks of distilling their own cheap model using 4.5. OpenAI will undoubtedly distill a mini version themselves and they want to be out front for that benefit.

Perhaps no fear, but definitely uncertainty and doubt, thus in the ballpark.
At a company I worked at someone saved some important data in Teams and left the company and I was tasked with trying to export it but it turns out it would have taken significant time scripting the API to extract all the data. They said forget it and just left it in the Teams and made sure not to delete her account.
The thing is, that FOSS cannot have an EULA. Free, open source software is accompanied by licenses which pertain only to the redistribution of the source code, not stipulating any restrictions on the use of the program.

One notable deviation from this is the GNU Affero license ("AGPL") which requires someone operating the AGPLed service program, if the program is accessible to network visitors and uses modified code, to offer the modified source code to the visitors. This is quite controversial; not everyone (myself included) agrees that the AGPL is a free software license like the GPL.

I'm on AWS and use their WAF service to do some rudimentary bot blocking, but CDNs (their Cloudflare equivalent, Cloudfront) have been too expensive in the past and the bot control mechanisms they offer have too many false positives. Perhaps I should check it out again.

Part of the problem is the economics of it -- I've chosen to self-fund a high traffic site without ads, and that's on me. But it was possible to do this just a few years ago.
It would be more accurate to imagine a version of the tale where the stone soup chef rifles through people's houses to collect ingredients without permission (if they were against it surely they would've opted out of his services and obtained guard dogs?), and then opened a stand to sell the soup in the town square at premium prices while tainting the wares of his fellow vendors with his leftover slop.

Resources which helped me get started:

"Challenges for Games Designers" by Brathwaite & Schreiber. This was by far the most helpful, as it laid out a process of finding & refining fun game ideas.

"Game Feel" by Swink. Examines why jumping feels better in Super Mario than Donkey Kong, why Street Fighter feels the way it does, etc. This way of breaking down & examining mechanics was eye opening and can be applied to other kinds of games.

lostgarden.com, especially https://lostgarden.com/2008/12/06/post-it-note-design-docs/, which describes a process for rapidly iterating on ideas, and https://lostgarden.com/2006/10/24/what-are-game-mechanics/, which introduced me to some of the fundamental building blocks of game mechanics.

Resources which helped me later:

I found "Art of Game Design" to be helpful later, when working on making a good game into a great game. The different lenses were great for finding areas where I could improve a game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg really drove home how important polish is. This was useful after I had a game which was already a bit fun.

Finally, an observation & a suggestion, if you're open to them: You admit that you don't know game design, yet you're attempting to innovate by removing limits. This seems like an enormous challenge for a beginner, like someone who doesn't know how to play an instrument attempting to make a new style of jazz.

I think you'd have more success if you learned to play the instrument first: Practice by making a lot of small games. Spend 2-4 days on each, no more. Learn to use prototypes to explore the design space, searching for ideas with a glimmer of fun. When you find one, iterate on it to see if you can refine it into something more fun. As your game design skills improve, your ability to innovate will improve too.

It's amazing to think that there was a time when Skype was literally synonymous with web-based calls and text chat. It was a verb, like googling. First eBay (was always a terrible fit), then Microsoft (which could have made it the defacto standard), lost the plot.
Writing about writing is in the air! I just published a post with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the A-Team [1] :D

The OP led me to `kupjao`'s series of posts on writing, and I can't help but nod my head in agreement. I'm in the choir they are preaching to!

Little writing habits compound over time to help people (and teams) escape the gravity well of their "default" setting. It isn't rocket science. Just simple bullet-point-ing can be good enough to help a bunch of people...

- conserve personal and collective attention

- power creativity

- grow intellectual capital

- maintain clear situational awareness

- run high-trust workplaces, and

- make high-quality decisions.

etc. etc. etc. because, like I said, I'm sold on the author's premise!

I stopped using Brave a couple of years ago when I switched to Arc and I have since switched from Arc to Orion. I didn’t have any issues with at the time even though it was not my default; it made a nice enough fallback Chromium-based browser for the very few times that mattered. I just turned off all the crypto-crap, and regular reviews of the settings didn’t reveal them to be turning on anything I already disabled.

If Brave works for you, go for it.
