Someone just shared an extension that inserts random jump scares onto social media sites that you want to avoid. Maybe adding jump scares to work applications can help people blink more often, too.

Yeah, I think GW is well aware that their 40K and Fantasy universes have incredible draw. Even given the enormous barrier to entry for the premier tabletop game, the IP is ubiquitous. Unlike WOTC, who seem so flippant about their MTG IP tha

Actually my complaint was about using IaaS as a hobbyist, but sure.

As far as I can tell, no cloud products outside of consumer-facing SaaS allow you to set hard limits or automatic stops. The best you can do is configure spending alerts (and hope you're awake to see them). I've found it pretty ne

A community of 100 players is totally achievable if you are willing to put some time and effort in on social media presence, like a YouTube channel. I worked on a small game and managed to host a Discord server with 40-50 members relatively

Agreed. The difference between a book and a film is that they are completely different things. You can't just graft a story from one directly onto another and expect results.

What kind of an anemic society do you want to live in, that everyone should only be an expert on capital-P Profitable subjects?

I'm curious to know why you think Godot's web exports are too poor to be useful even to a 9 year old? I've published multiple HTML5 games on itch.io using Godot, including some with P2P multiplayer functionality. Apart from c

A few decades ago we did as you suggest. We automated TTRPGs and called them CRPGs, and ARPGs, and MMORPGs. And yet - TTRPGs are as popular as ever, despite apparently being subordinate.

I vastly prefer comments as second class citizens anyway. Twitter felt like such a rat's nest sometimes.

That's a relief. I made some contributions to a free repo that I use, and got a bit suspicious - I wouldn't want to be a part of any club that would have me as a member.

Is there a list of confirmed dodgy repos?

Super cool. I would have liked to have seen a similar visualisation for how they solved it on the Sierpinski gasket.

You're not paranoid. ChatGPT has a really obvious format. If I could bold text on HN (not that I think I want that), I could do an even better impersonation: I am a 3-sentence paragraph giving a high level overview of the topic. This i

Even if you do it in private, they may take it as a sign of a subordinate who has designs on their job. Or on toppling them at any rate. Insecurity is everywhere.

I appreciate and fully agree with your perspective on this. A thing was treated as if it were some other thing, and acceptably failed to be that other thing.
