Pretty much this. No one was interested in playing corporate games, and Steam/GoG isn't that important anyway.

What levels? TTD, Open or no has no levels, only a map generator, and you seriously don't want to try the reimplementation of the original one.

Open internet is dead only to those that don't take the effort to discover. Otherwise it's still as open as it always was. Since there was an internet to speak of, there always were and still are vast amounts of people unaware of

You don't need 4gbps pf queues or even fiber on every single machine in a datacenter. So be surprised, it is used widely for its simplicity and reliability not to mention security compared to those proprietary implementations you speak

At least accepting that one lacks virtue is intellectually honest and saves resources otherwise wasted on deceitful proclamations of nonexistent and imaginary virtues. It's not like anything was meant to be done either way.

I'm still on a contract from 2016 or so with my mobile (cell) operator. 10 years of inflation, I pay basically nothing for some occassional data use and more voice than I could ever use. Of course it irks them much to not be able to se

I generally agree, only that XP was okay in my opinion after one disabled all fluff so that it looked like 98SE. It's no wonder XFCE and to lesser extent Mate are popular, XFCE4 does a nice job of being a handy tool and not in-your-fac

Very good. I you could get rid of https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=JetBrains+Mono:wght... dependency and cut down apple-touch-icon.png it would be perfect.

For some meaning of cope. I tried that just for the lulz. LLMs do fell like Monty Python's "Tis just a flesh wound". Lulz delivered, I give that.

Only the coding agent will only give you plausible answers, not necessarily correct ones. So read the code. Oh, but you now can't because all you know is how to ask coding agents.

> it feels irresponsible And it is. You are going to end up with a wreck of a product and not a single person you can call upon to fix it. It is your choice and you will pay for it.

yup. no effort - no bliss. and for rare bouts of wanting to shepherd cats I just got meself some actual cats. At least they don't pretend to be engineers.

N1's upper stages were designed to function standalone as lower-capability carriers, just like Saturn IVB / Saturn IB. A few more test flights and most probably USSR would have had N1-base lineup to replace R-7 and Proton and have

I read it last some years ago too but I think it was in relation to many early moonshot failures - first half of Luna program and also early attempts at Mars and Venus. Have to reread it too. Still, while R-7 was initially funded as ballist

So you don't allocate left and right, be it stack or heap. It's all useless though unless you control the hardware. If you don't, you might as well prlimit --stack=unlimited and have at it.

It becames super slow when you bump that pointer into a page that's missing from the TLB.

I read that as "Allocating on the Slack" and immediately came up with three ways how to do that.

Boris Chertok's memoir[0] on early Soviet space program is essential reading. inexact quote: "You know, we're throwing towns into the sky" related to the early mishaps of R-7 program development, but they kept doing it.

With prefabs you first dig up both road and sidewalk, set up pre-cut granite curbs (kerbs?) on a mild concrete foundation (negates sinking completely), then repour and repave sidewalk and road. Lasts many years in -20C winters +35C summers

I would expect WiFi to be either usb or pci attached, so VM passthrough would work. It also doesn't matter if AI is involved - you save yourself trouble either way.

I estimate two weeks from having never seen kernel source to something reasonably stable based on experience with block devices/raid controllers. But I knew a bit of C (had patches merged into SVN, Exim4, etc).
