Absolute banger of a game. About once every five years I get the urge to try and spin it up again.

I demand to know what that construction of aluminium extrusions is. They're my pet material.

Please move the "Help grow the community!" banner below the search results. I thought all my searches were coming up blank. On mobile, that banner takes up an enormous amount of space.

I would also be motivated to write better documentation if I had a junior dev sitting right next to me, utterly incapable of doing any work unless I document how; but also instantly acting on documentation I produce, and giving me rapid fee

Various studies have shown that trying to explain the reasons for a decision can often cause people to make worse decisions. I remember there was one where lay people were able to taste and rate jams with a high degree of correlation to the

No idea how you got that from Atomic Habits. Shockingly unscientific book.

Tweaking Linux to make it work just the way I like isn't something I do towards some greater purpose, I enjoy it for its own sake.

The old article series Synth Secrets by Sound On Sound is extremely worth reading. Teaches you not only synthesis but also how musical instruments work, acoustically speaking.

You cannot tell me fgs are "too complex" and then mention DOTA in the same breath. I personally prefer watching a game that doesn't have downtime. Watching teams buy items and walk around is not interesting. So, so much downt

Strudel is neat! A friend sent me a video recently of someone using it to make breakbeat music, which got me looking into it. I've known about live coding music for a long time but never actually investigated how it works. I find the f

That's going to make it a bit more annoying for me to contribute further… Oh well.

Yet another reason why fighting games are the superior competitive scene. The only "cheat" you could realistically see at an offline event is macros, and the chances of a macro increasing your win rate are slim to none. And there

The article claims T2Linux has "largely solved" the problem of Linux on T2 Macs. Is that true? I have a 2020 MBP with touch bar & 2 Thunderbolt ports. My reading of the T2Linux project sounded a lot more negative than that, bu

I'm spending more time than I'd like to admit thinking about how to achieve various ends using AsciiDoc(tor). I could just carry on with Jekyll, but why?

Absolute banger. I am convinced it will be held up as a true classic.

I think it's our duty to use Firefox as much as possible, and only launch Chromium for the odd task where Firefox fails. This is the only way to fight the browser monopoly. We have to generate as much Firefox activity as possible, so t

Yes and somewhat infamously in the fighting game context, high level players can sometimes psych themselves out completely in the heat of the moment, trying to recursively parse the infinite stack of reads and just completely bluescreening

Is there a term for the "I know that you know that I know…" thing? It's a fundamental part of fighting game strategy, particularly the aspect called "yomi", i.e. reading the opponent's intentions so as to preem

Man I really want to learn a good code-driven CAD app sometime. Last time I tried to look at ImplicitCAD the website was down so I just gave up lol CADQuery/build123d is the other big one I'm interested in.

The open source gamepad firmware you mention is GP2040-CE. I can guarantee you users will be happy if force feedback gets merged in. Stuff moves fast; by now, opinions on this might have changed. I'd encourage interested parties to joi

An eye-opening idea for me was the concept that it is not women that are fragile, but men. The slightest indication of a threat to masculinity sends men into a fit of rage.
