Same. If anyone wants to buy mine off me and learn this lesson for themselves, drop me a message.
Thought it was going to be a utopian "intentional community", and build all the things I'd been dreaming of from watching YouTube vids. Turns out that the infrastructure you need to even get started with that is in the way. Wish I'd just gone suburban with a nice garage workshop instead. That way I wouldn't have to worry about paving a road or pumping water up to the ridge.

That looks amazing! What's the tech stack? Code available?

Togetherness Table https://www.1kfa.com/table
Open source SVG/HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no frameworks) project for playing Tabletop RPGs (D&D et al) online.
It started out as just a dice-roller, but since it's so easy to nest whatever SVG thingamagic you like into it, it's been expanded to do card decks, tokens, and a thing I'm calling "Dynamic Trays".
Dynamic Trays do the gruntwork of RPG calculations. Sums, tabulations, even "exploding dice".
There's still a lot to do, every time I add a feature I think of two possible new ones. I've got to say, SVG is *really* nice. I think many developers would have the first instinct to do this in an HTML Canvas tag, but SVG does so much heavy lifting for you.
Ask HN: What's a Good Replacement for TogetherJS?
TogetherJS (https://togetherjs.com/) provides a way for an open source project to connect users, peer-to-peer, and provides: usernames, user colors, avatars, and a chat log. It operates like a JS library, just something you add to a page, rather than a framework that dictates the tech stack.Glossing over some nuance, it's now abandonware.What's an alternative? Socket.io doesn't seem to come...

I love this. I'm too often guessing and doing trial-and-error when trying to get SVG paths juuuust right for my SVG-based virtual tabletop project.

I invite you to have a look at Togetherness Table
https://github.com/sjbrown/togetherness
It's all HTML, SVG, and JS. No JS framework, either, just straight-up JS. Super easy to get started

Very cool! Any chance of Save-As-SVG?
Even if not, there could be some cool potential for integration with my project, Togetherness Table: https://www.1kfa.com/table https://github.com/sjbrown/togetherness
Re:Google to buy 6.6% stake in ADT in home security push

"Home" security? ADT has cameras, door sensors, medical alerting "pendandts" etc. installed in many more places than private homes. This deal seems more about sensors and new streams of incoming data for Google.

If you want critical feedback for your design and suggestions of other games that share some of your goals, you should peek into the /r/RPGDesign subreddit and The Gauntlet Forums.

Re:Problems I Have with Python

In the last 15 years, I haven't encountered many coders or organizations that produce code that think machine code or bytecode is significantly "secret".
The sentiment I mostly encounter is:
Secrets are things that are encrypted.
Compiling (to bytecode or machine code) is just a way to let different kinds of "machines" read the code.
(Paranoia seems to amplify that attitude)
