   > That's great, but it's always just one agency, or one very local bit of government. All change starts small. If these small agencies or very local bits of government successfully pull it off, larger ones may well follow.

   I really want this to be true, but the founder launching AGI 9 months ago doesn't help their credibility a lot. And drip-marketing test results seems like a super weird thing to do, whether it's real or it's not. Don't f

   that said, this being 2023 and them being properly shamed might be why their site now says it's all local and TÜV certified (which i doubt means much, but still)? like outrage actually forced them to get their act together?

   My Eufy claims to do all processing locally. I admit I never verified this (eg turn off the wifi while it's running - I should actually). But they were the only Chinese manufacturer that at least bothered to write anything about data l

    It's standard practice and it freaks managers the fuck out, esp if they're not familiar with hacker culture. Maybe the standard practice needs some work? I'm not sure, I understand the perspective of security researchers wh

    Web Components are amazing for distributing frontend libraries. But they're awful as building blocks to replace a framework like React, Vue, Svelte or Lit with. I blame the Chrome people for the misleading naming. The entire term &quot

    I know, but not everybody knows or agrees with this. The idea that when someone doesn't put their code online it must be because they want money seems way off the mark to me, and that's the only point I was making.

    I'm not sure it's about money. This maybe be increasingly hard to imagine in this age of AI-slop, but some devs actually don't want to publish code that is a terribly embarrassing mess, and prefer to clean it up first.

    Just sharing that I bought Valuable Humans in Transit some years ago and I concur that it's very nice. It's a tiny booklet full of short stories like Lena that are way out there. Maximum cool per gram of paper.

    Come on, eg "it is what it is" is basically stoic philosophy in a nutshell. That's not a cope, it's a useful way of separating what you can control from what you can't. If the still-closeted overthinkers in this thr

    As a terrible ponderer, I depend heavily on about half the examples listed in this article to stop worrying about anything and everything. I don't think they're as obviously bad as their context in this article suggests.

    I don't think you appreciate how un-bribeable this particular author is, and I don't just mean in a moral sense.

    I agree that it smells racist, but if I try to steelman the author: You can't name a single country that happens to end in -stan that isn't a mostly dysfunctional dictatorship. The opening paragraph of this article happens to fit

    Nah, like you said, SDL is just window creation and a bit of audio etc. If that counts as a "game engine" then so does every web browser. EDIT: Sorry if I seem grumpy, I'm not actually grumpy at you, I'm grumpy at PyGame
