Back before ChatGPT was publicly available, there was AI Dungeon. It was such a yes-man though. You could be in a scene with a king and a princess, then write "I eat the demon", and it would just invent a demon in the scene, and t

My friend got his pilot's license somewhat recently and I went on a $100 hamburger run with him. It was a lot of fun! I studied gliders when I was in air cadets as a teen, so I knew a little bit about what was going on, and he let me t

Usually you would do it in your main function, or a code path starting from there. Executing code with non-local side effects during import is generally frowned upon. Maybe it's fine for a project-local module that won't be shared

Reminds me of the late 90s when people would add effects to their websites, like snow or trails of sparks that follow the mouse.

Heh, I started working on a board game with a couple friends and then got caught up reading card descriptions from a shared Google Spreadsheet and generating images to work with Tabletop Simulator. It's a different kind of work from my

Oh hey, I got in trouble at my university for trying to make a tool for students too. This was ~15 years ago now... In my case, they accused me of copyright infringement and trying to destroy the co-op program. I made the case that while I

There are lots of practical and privacy issues with actually enforcing age restrictions. Many governments are currently thinking of trying to do this with porn, and no one has provided a reasonable way to do so yet. Simply adding a disclaim
