I wonder if a nice source available license comes about, similar to how we have common ones for FOSS like MIT which are well understood and easy to apply. A source available license allowing for personal modifications, sharing with other li

Can I recommend dropping the use of royal we, with respect to how you describe your work on the project. This is usually a lot more common in software projects, and it doesn't come across well when most the effort is clearly (at least

It has its applications in a different way, tool assisted level design. Software suites like Houdini, which is something of an industry standard in VFX and gamedev can potentially leverage ML techniques. AFAIK the folks who make Houdini hav

The mundane of today is very insightful for tomorrow's historians. Its fascinating when you start looking into any historical time period (you wouldn't even need to go far back), before a lot of details are educated guesses. Since

That doesn't address the concern re: something needing critical mass to increase its chance of survival over a longer term. Really the way I see it outside a few large banking firms, its kind of hard to be sure any provider of digital

It looks to me like Terminus (the app) decided to re-name themselves of their own accord. Granted it could be seen as doing so per-emptively. > Terminus is too close to Termius - a commercial terminal app. This causes a number of users

The upsert strategy mentioned (using ON CONFLICT to update instead of insert) has a catch, if your PK is a sequence it will increment even though the insert has failed. It's not a huge deal in most cases, is a bigger issue if you are r

I initially got into Houdini as a hobbyist for the possibilities with terrain generation & foliage after seeing a very interesting GDC talk [1] from Ubisoft re: the process for tool assisted level design. Since then used it a decent bit

A bit off topic but notice you have a golang version of your JSON parser lib as well. Is there any specific strategy you follow WRT building JSON parsers that you found lacking in std lib implementations in order consider writing your own?

I usually ignore those and bundle a bunch in a single PR. The worst I found was another team which merges in depandabot PR's one by one. Their git history isn't pleasant to look through :(

Not sure how these particular scanners do it, but during security assessments you sometimes use tools that will find all strings in an application package with high entropy. Usually its junk, but occasionally you do get lucky and find token

Would IETF where the specs are publicly accessible but it's vendors and so on in the various working groups be a better model?

Definitely be careful with hosts off Lowendbox, as other commenters have mentioned providers go offline without warning all the time. Never pay more than a year in advance etc... Notorious for "Deadpooling", providers sell ultra c

For console apps I've been using .NET Foundation's System.CommandLine [1] recently. It looks like this Spectre.Console you are using is a bit more fancy albeit a lot newer. 1 - https://github.com/dotnet/comman

Some people get a bit weirded out about the multiple IDE situation (mostly folks whose current day to day is VS Code with extensions). Usually that goes away when you get them to try some of the IDEs, the experience is second to none (as fa

The mid 2000s era was a really magical time for me growing up. Just the sheer amount of interesting games and videos available on places like NewGrounds and Kongregate was something else. It was kind of crazy how easy it was at the time to

Yep, as far as I'm aware none of the larger engines UE4 or Unity mind if you release your source code under a non viral FOSS license. But almost all third party assets have restrictions, it's not like the assets can have DRM to pr

I get that things like proper kerning are probably doable with CSS. LaTeX still does a better job out of the box, which goes a long way for my understanding of its typical use cases (resumes or long form reports).

Ah interesting, I guess it makes sense considering its a different workflow from the two titles I mentioned which were compositing people into CG backdrops. Thanks for the correction.
