   This is, of course, at the costs of the artists, who make close to nothing on streaming, if they're not in the very top. The last year has pretty much killed the viability of independent musicians being able to survive off their passi

   A "Let's Play" video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW1rIV5t74o This style of hyper-specialized homebrew software is so fascinating. I wonder if the developer "works in the industry&q

   I had to check if it would fall under Trump's Right to Try Act [0], but sadly it doesn't seem like it would meet the requirements. Perhaps this is something we can continue pushing for more freedom enabling legislation though. [0

   It's a Lisp, in the Scheme subset. It's original design was primarily around Programming Language Theory education - formerly it was PLT Scheme. Much of it was designed for educational uses, but it's a really well-rounded s

   It's a self-feeding culture. Launches were expensive, so you designed your spacecraft very thoroughly for many years before sending it up. If launches have become cheap, in part due to iterative design processes and letting oneself f

   >This idea that "Let's give people the ability to be anonymous, and somehow, that's gonna make us all bond together and be better" is pretty hilarious in hindsight. I get irritated by this logic. I don't think m

   It is, and it's not the first language to use it as such. But for many programmers it always triggers the 'escape' alarm in the mind, and it will always cause slight discomfort seeing it used in the raw.

    I'm new to Lisp, having started SICP last month, but I can answer some. The space probes are probably just a standard serial port (RS-232 style UART), with some radio protocol that has good error correction/stability. In amateur

    I'm also working on an educational game engine 'from scratch', though for me this includes my own rendering engine. The linked article was just to an introdution, which made me think think this was a fluff submission with no

    I've been compiling some libraries and projects on my raspberry pi, and I've been having to invoke meson and ninja quite a bit. If nothing else, they've been getting it right on the first try more often than the cmake &&a

    I came back to Godot this week, after tying an earlier 2.x build. I've had a 3D game I've wanted to develop for years, and gave it a shot awhile back. Unfortunately, the tools capable of building what I wanted had too steep of a

    Uber was testing there because the local city government was easy to work with initially. After their fatal incident, the city became more restrictive, but Google/Waymo had already also moved in and started testing there, and because

    I think human children have likely been chasing birds, much the way puppies would, since long before the dawn of civilization. As long as you teach your children to respect nature when they're older, letting a 3 y.o. chase ducks is as

    I don't see how the phone format is so much worse? To be honest, most of my recent investments have been limit orders submitted from the can. Of course by that point I've already done a lot of research on a desktop computer, but

    I have no evidence, but I am willing to bet there is a large China based disinformation campaign regarding players and their opinions. Right now nothing should be taken at face value, nobody should be taking their feelings from someone else

    Dropbox recently had some backlash, mostly due to them updating their OSX software that installed a new file manager without the user's explicit permission. Not sure if it's related, but they've had some issues with their tec
