Wow, I just came here to comment that I've always wondered if a game where you have to program an elevator scheduler would be any fun. I thought surely no-one's thought to make that before, too! Glad to be proven wrong.

Ah, I suppose I did word that poorly—I more mean that a significant breaking change (Casks that previously were documented as being excluded from auto-updating suddenly being auto-updated) which can occur silently is a rough end-user experi

You need to set HOMEBREW_NO_UPGRADE_AUTO_UPDATES_CASKS to 1, as alluded to by a hint when it (first?) occurs. This means if you have hints off (via HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS) then I suspect you can start getting this behavior without warning wh

Tangentially related is NASA's open source GMAT[0] software which is more focused for calculating orbital transfers and the like. It's pretty fun to play around in. [0] https://software.nasa.gov/software/GSC-1

Funny, I just started playing The Wise-Woman’s Dog yesterday—it really is excellent! I’d also secondly endorse Dialog. It’s a really intuitive way to think about the game world as a whole without having to worry about Inform 7’s AppleScript

Even if the changes aren't "meaningful" (which it seems like they are), they still have an impact in how it makes the contributor more comfortable with working on the project. No new contributor is going to start with making

I think it's probably less frequent nowadays, but it very much does happen. This still-active lawsuit[0] was made in response to LLMs generating verbatim chunks of code that they were trained on.[1] [0] https://githubcopilot

For what it’s worth, I’m definitely leaning “Apple fanboy” and have been amenable to their past UI redesigns. This is the first that I truly think is a regression, and I immediately turned on Reduce Transparency after updating.

NoRedInk[0] also uses some Haskell in their backend, as well as Elm for most of their frontend. They've also worked some with Roc according to a blog post from a few years back; not sure if using it. [0] https://blog.noredin

Speaking as a chronic procrastinator, I think GP is more referring to the difficulty that comes with actually /adding/ items that need to be done. At least, that's always been one of the difficulties for me.

The content reel was uploaded to their PeerTube[1]; I don't see the other two videos on there yet, though. Edit: The node tool introduction is now also live[2]! [1] https://video.blender.org/w/ni4S8WYzVG9kqQ6mDjnY1

Wow, I'd never seen those before. As far as ads go, those seem really stand-out—seriously creative, and even self-deprecating for the sake of promoting XP.

If you want a replacement you can use `telnet telehack.com` and then run `starwars`. If you want it in a single command you can do something like `zsh -c '{ sleep 1; echo starwars; sleep 10000; } | nc -c telehack.com 23'`.

There’s also chessx[1], which is what I’ve found myself to prefer (I’ve also never gotten SCID vs PC to run on macOS, unfortunately). It has some oddities, but once you get past that there’s a lot of great functionality to enjoy. [1]: http

Not only that, but it's extraordinarily capable as a graphing app (and comes with examples demonstrating its features), too! It also has a pretty crazy history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1584501
