Any time I see graphs or statistics which cut of at 2020 to 2021 I get the feeling that the trend is being misrepresented, maybe deliberately.

But that would still put Earth on track to heat up roughly 2.5 to 2.9 degrees Celsius over preindustrial levels by the century’s end, the report found

Doesn't that still mean extinction of nearly all life on earth? What's with the headline saying "safe levels"?

I think we have underestimated how much progress has been made on killing the planet.

I doubt TCP/UDP or basic HTTP requests will change much, but I guess it depends on how high-level the API is.

I've recently come to appreciate the "refactor the code while you write it" and "keep possible future changes in mind" ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn't really say it's "hard to understand". More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.

Das ist Doppelsprech für "enorme Auswirkungen auf die Stabilität meiner Machtposition".

Man I'd love for that to catch on, mostly so it's easier to learn. Kids get confused by the order all the time. It's even shorter in some cases.

Also, the reverse order makes dictating phone numbers such a pain.

Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren't at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:

  1. Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
  2. Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
  3. When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)

Possible unfree licenses for artwork

I'd still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.

Dwarf Fortress

Is there an open source version? It's a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.

osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it's the new client: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download

I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.

This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.

There is also Mindustry, but I haven't played it.

I'm bored (but not in a bad way). I wish I could hang out with people, but I have nobody around right now. I feel happier than ever, just can't share it with anyone. I guess I'm just going to call someone and satisfy this extroverted phase that way.
