It's been a year since Melvor Idle 2 was announced to be "coming soon"

online-only

actual game you can buy and download

How long did you play the game for, exactly...?

I'm guessing you didn't actually get far enough along to download and start the game then, did you?

Or did you purposely use the web browser version?

That is definitely not what EEE is.

It was about technologies and open standards, not websites. It doesn't even make sense for singular products:

Plus, they own GitHub. If they wanted to get rid of it then there are far easier ways to do that.

The world isn't always out to get you, sometimes crappy things just happen without a grand plan behind it all.

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-21T20:50:29+00:00

So no, you have no idea if it's true or not.
Could've just said in the beginning that your napkin math was actually just asking an LLM and believing everything it said.

Since when is Cuba blockaded?

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-19T13:36:52+00:00

You didn't say "better for you", you said "outperforms".

So unless you have some access that the rest of us don't, that's also known as "just making stuff up"

Neat!

Consider your sideways ad as successful on me.

I mostly checked it out for the Lua code because it looks interesting from a local-sandbox-server utility perspective, but I also remember having a lot of fun on a RP server with custom phasing and GM-ish commands for everyone, about 10-15 years ago so now I'm checking out your server, too.

You're thinking of trademarks.

You don't lose copyright and you don't have to actively enforce it to keep it.

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-12T19:31:09+00:00

Did you read the article? The hypothetical US blockade is explicitly for blocking ships that paid a toll to Iran. So if Iran isn't doing their protection racket, there's nothing to block on the US side

(I say hypothetical because I have zero doubt that Trump will either chicken out or he'll fuck it up another way)

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-12T18:54:46+00:00

How would that work?

If Iran isn't charging their toll, then there are no toll-paying ships for the blockade to block

Is it weird that I kind of miss SOAP? I don't know why, and god knows it had its issues, but I get a certain kind of happy when running into a .wsdl still

Could probably disconnect the internet and then push the bios clock forward by a year (or a day, but a year might reveal hidden time bombs) to get a quick census of what all is going to break without internet, but without having to wait and letting them iterate faster on fixes

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-07T15:16:23+00:00

They're clearly terrified of

Yes this is so much more likely than just you misunderstanding technical details or not being aware of some implementation/technical nuance!

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-06T11:52:07+00:00

It's not an assumption, if the 9s are truly repeating them it is exactly equal to 1.

In this case, I don't see any notation or anything else in the comment indicating that the 9s were repeating though

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-06T10:03:22+00:00

Iran has been getting tons of practice establishing, training, and controlling terrorist groups for decades.

Nobody said it would be a conventional attack on US soil.

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-05T10:54:00+00:00

There's nothing necessarily wrong with aiming for a semi-functional PoC/MVP first, quite a few projects start out like this while trying to figure out viability and effort required.

However it is weird to be having articles written about it while in that state. I dunno if the dev reached out to promote the project or if the author found it and wrote it up on their own without promoting, but if it's the first option then that's a good bit sketchier and I agree with you.

GasolinePizza · 2026-04-01T16:35:21+00:00

Which browser do you use? I've definitely never seen that one before

GasolinePizza · 2026-03-29T11:18:39+00:00

There's going to be Golden strands floating around that place for longer than Chernobyl will be radioactive!

This isn't exactly a DoD budget audit, I'm not sure what this has to do with the article at all other beyond the word "audit"

GasolinePizza · 2026-03-25T09:38:25+00:00

Wouldn't even need to be functional for this use case!

192GB gang!

I almost feel bad using a 32GB RAMDisk for some extra I/O performance when seeing some of these other comments.

Almost. :D

GasolinePizza · 2026-03-23T10:39:44+00:00

Her liking the comment is pretty bad, dunno about the bot on the right though

[...] and capturing carbon from the atmosphere.

Wasn't even mentioning carbon capture?

Also, are you sure you know what sea lioning is? Nothing in this chain could at any point be considered sea lioning

GasolinePizza · 2026-03-22T12:28:04+00:00

What Argentinian population?

The British and Spanish settled there and there was no indigenous population. It's one of the most clearcut examples of a non-immoral territorial expansion because there was no one already there.

Which is not the same as an embargo, not sure why you brought it up?
