anacrolix

Tolkien-flavoured MMORPG in the style of Tibia. Deep mechanics and lore.

Quests, sprites, spells, multiple races. Written entirely by AI. Playable in the browser.

I worked on their DHT and it was broken from the start, and they didn't want to hear how to fix it. What would I know.

BitTorrent mainline DHT does it just fine.

And also https://github.com/anacrolix/btlink :)

That's what you get for using Go mux

But why

I know I'm getting old, but who let juniors vibe code a company. And why can you not use AI to refactor it to sanity. Rewriting when you get it that bad the first time around will not work.

libp2p overhead isn't acceptable on any system.

Nobody has heard of persistent data structures?!

I'm not even American, but wtf is Europe doing. They were once a moral bar now they're dropping the ball everywhere.

if you can't run it locally, it's shit

YES. SOMETHING.

I can't understand the love for Jellyfin. Kodi lets you pick multiple sources of data, but Jellyfin flips it on its head and requires you pick a single server, choose the sources there, then add Kodi or something else all over again. It's just more steps for no gain.

No vision.

Windows is utter ass.

They don't even use their own browser, languages, or OS half the time because they're so bad.

I don't use it but stuff like VS Code is a point of light but they run it like an internal project, and will drive it into the ground, just like GitHub.

I'm not even going to read the article and just respond to the headline. Linux is not good now. Windows and macOS are worse than they've ever been.

I got a cheque for some fuck up for $8. In this day and age, sending a cheque for a small amount like that is a dick move. You know heaps of people will not even bother. Many people have never seen a cheque these days.

because it's shit

In mainstream/SV coding, I would say the scales just barely tipped toward composition in the late 10s... There are plenty of programmers still completely oblivious, the inertia is huge. Plus the swing back is too strong, inheritance is very powerful, just not as generic as originally thought.

Open source is sick. Everyone wants it (both to maintain a successful project, and to use them) until you maintain a popular project for a reasonable time then your realise you're getting used for fuck all value.

We need a healthy way to support open source developers. This isn't working. Companies are taking advantage, and individuals are overwhelmed with choice and have delusional expectations.

When you're at the bottom the only direction is up: marriage rates

I've reported a trivially reproducible mmap issue that causes Darwin to spiral into locking up with no apparent reason. "Not a vulnerability".

I also reported a bug in Safari HTTP proxy handling that prevents encryption. No reply.

I provided source code, and reproduction steps for both.

Fuck Apple

It never was, it's VC news

Jeremiah Johnson and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Epic films

you don't say

maybe it's Ballmer's salesmanship, but the interview really really enlightened me and increased my opinion of Ballmer.

I'm not a short guy, but I think it's unfair. Short guys are stereotyped with a particular personality, but the same buckets exist for women with other unpopular traits.

I think men are being increasingly disenfranchised of the qualities that made them attractive. I think it's sad that people are reaching for surgery but I don't judge them.

It's a great concept but the ecosystem, tooling, and stewardship are really crap.

When you have multiple sqlite connections, any write will flush the caches of other connections. So more connections is not always better.
