   It’s funny when you start a project and then find something so similar in the wild. I’m writing a C package manager in exactly the same vein. Git based, no binaries, rolling release. It’s probably not such a coincidence, since I was inspire

   Thanks, great article. It’s always good to understand the context of where libraries fit into the web ecosystem and why they exist. Much appreciated!

   It is genuinely ridiculous to say that the witness could “have been made in Unity with far less effort”. It’s easy to forget that people on this and ever forum love to just say stuff for the sake of having said something until you encounter

   Real vibe coding is fake, especially for something niche like what you asked it to do. Imagine a hyperactive eidetic fresh out of high school was literally sitting in the other room. What would you tell her? That’s a good rule of thumb for

   Isn’t it more likely that Pakistani folks in Britain are more likely to be first generation immigrants? You’d need to compare generationally to get apples to apples

   This crashed for me after my third question. Subsequent attempts to load the project immediately crash. I don’t think AI models are good enough for this level of hands off coding, unfortunatey

    There’s this layout library in C called clay which is basically a renderer agnostic flex box style layout engine. You might be interested in reading its source!

    Just use a lightweight, privacy focused VPN like Mullvad. You don’t have to keep it on when you need top network performance. Ultimately, a VPN of SOME kind is the only option.

    First, thanks for doing everything you do! I, and I’m sure countless others, genuinely benefit from you. How would you recommend someone with a strong background in undergraduate level traditional ML get into deep learning? I use that as a

    Yeah, reads more like a collection of fun apocrypha than a serious look at something that affected the great author so profoundly

    Try to spend fifteen minutes outside getting sunlight close to when you wake up. I’ve read that the day’s first sunlight helps trigger the body’s hormonal response resetting the internal circadian clock. Anecdotally, I like it! And even if

    What about capital gains? I hold mine for a year because I was under the impression that liquidating immediately would cause you to pay short term capital gains rather than long term.

    There’s a history of Lua somewhere on the website. It wasn’t created as an academic exercise, but as a configuration language for the Brazilian national petrol company. It grew into a full scripting language.

    Speaking of Houdini, https://github.com/setzer22/blackjack is an excellent open source alternative that loses a ton of cruft and is scriptable in Lua. I highly recommend checking it out if this is your kind of thing

    It's funny that you word it like that. "Something that's more VN than RPG, but more RPG than VN" is exactly the game I'm making (it's called Firmament). I didn't find anything that was exactly what I wante
