Easy fix: Allow donations, merge updates once donation pool is enough to pay for the maintainers' time.

PC games are physical. I have my games right here on this thumb drive in my hand. If I sell it to you, and you plug it in, you can play my games.

It can change, if we get to net negative emissions. Not probable but possible.

Undergraduate degrees are not vocational in any of the leading universities in any field. They are sometimes a prerequisite to vocational training, but aren't one in and of themselves.

There's a pretty good reason for that - the base assumption is that training in fundamentals, methods and ways of thinking is something you won't get anywhere else.

Nit - it is not completely free.

You are paying for the extra power draw.

My point is that it's easily vibeable for you, because you do game stuff.

I don't - I did large scale web, embedded, data, and security, but no graphics or games. I wouldn't know where to begin.

I don't think I could have vibe coded that.

At the very least, he photographed and built models of logs and his own yard.

This is a remarkably open-source friendly business model. I hope it works out similarly remarkably well for you!

Eh, I don't use Lime Scooters or Waymo for the dopamine, I use them to get to where I need to go.

These are dudes, likely some of them teenagers, playing Street Fighter and Tekken.

Who signed up for what?

Nearly impossible in some contexts, where the trade-off makes sense.

There are many scenarios, especially in embedded systems, where it can happen and you want to handle it robustly, e.g. by evicting a cache or flushing a buffer to disk.

There is a tradeoff between the freedom users have on their devices on one side, and the likelihood less sophisticated users will get their information stolen or their devices pwned and used to DoS innocent websites on the other side.

If you don't address this tradeoff you're not really engaging the issue.

What I think we need is a professional, well-informed advocate of freedom who is willing to seriously discuss the tradeoff and concede that neither extreme is ideal.

When I was in grad school I graded homework for first year math classes, and the thing about math homework is that the perfect homework takes almost no time to grade.

It's the bad, semi-coherent submissions that eat up your time, because you do want to award some points and tell students where they went wrong. It's the Anna Karenina principle applied to math.

Code review is the same thing. If you're sure Claude wrote your endpoint right, why not review it anyway? It's going to take you two minutes, and you're not going to wonder whether this time it missed a nuance.
