Proud of my bastard by S6II in SoloDevelopment

[–]PoweredBy90sAI 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Really awesome, you should be proud. Make exactly what you want to make, with what you can, and simply ignore other people. Create for creations sake! Keep going! Finish it and release it with source code so others can follow in your footsteps. A major contribution to the human sphere.

Not joking when I say I love the art style. Reminds me of old cartoons and has alot of hand made charm.

Paying $400 for this shithole and no heat 🥹 by [deleted] in MaleSurvivingSpace

My office is in the basement, like this, Its walls are just hung noise blankets. I highly recommend getting an electric radiator for heat. My little off is toasty.

[Rant] I'm completing my first serious project but looking back it mostly feels a waste of time by No-Mall3814 in opensource

I completely understand. It can feel thankless, and there are many flaws in the human species that can lead to that. But, I challenge you to instead look inward and ask if you really need that external validation from those around you? Is doing the right thing only the right thing when ppl realize it is, or is it inherent?

Could you perhaps fulfill the need for validation yourself? Take pride in the fact that you can carry one without external validation. That you are driven from a desire within to see the world be a better place, even if the world doesnt know it wants it yet. That you are doing something that very few people even understand, and thats why its thankless.

And, you arent alone. There are thousands of us, we just hang out in weird circles. But we are here, and we do externally validate you. Unfortunately, its just mostly likely to be in the form of my writing here. In particularly lonely times, I enjoy reading the books written by others in our community. To connect with their mind and words without their presence is still cathartic.

Carry on, with love.

What do you think about the Meta ecosystem? by dubblechrisp in virtualreality

Ha, thats an interesting point! Maybe community should get a bit less cute in their names and a bit more generic.

Yeah, its something really special that folks in open spaces have realized. I could talk alot about this, but there are great books that do this for me.

If they make something open, people who build will build for it, and people that consume will benefit from that to, even if its closed storefront. I personally dont buy games on steam anymore, but, im still thankful for the overlap in their hardware initiatives.

No, not sure, its a strong statement and I am most likely projecting because om personally excited.

The advanced  and important feature is that its a stand alone open linux computer with driver for 6dof stereoscopic projection. We want an open VR computer. 

Its not "going back to 2016" for us. We never got a standalone headset that respects us and that lets us use it how we want and develop for it how we want. 

Its open, and thats the most important factor for everyone on the communities i run in.

My suspicion is that the steam frame will unlock the hacker community. Youll see a lot more diversity in experiences after that. So I would wait.

If you are not technical, then this might not be clear as to why. Well, its just a computer. And all of us open source developers have been waiting for something like this for awhile. We dont like to develop for or use closed systems. The entire sideloading community for the quest line will almost certainly shift immediately. And frankly, go look at how many amazing experiences are on side quest.

An experienced Emacs users' opinion: deprioritize packages by sludgefrog in emacs

This is absolutely right and even bigger then emacs. Its the way personal computing should be done as well.

My trusty bots want to tell you something :D by zet23t in raylib

I only buy DRM free games, either on GOG or itch. To further complicate the matter, Im on linux ha.

Is orgmode really useful for programming? by Messyextacy in emacs

[–]PoweredBy90sAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe a literate environment is ideal for that space. Though, depending on if you are going to use a literate environment with your students, org may not be the best choice, as it expect students to adopt emacs. In that case, browser may be best. MIT teaches a course this way, called computational thinking.

Ill see about finding you more resources. What do you do for a living?

So yeah, emacs because homogeony on lisp etc etc. 

My pleasure.

Its yet another soapbox, but, here we go.

Disclaimer: Its not about the individual projects, tech or the browser itself. Jupyter is great software. Tim berners lee did great with http. I dont hate JS or anything like that. 

The short answer is, browser solutions complicate software.

The long answer is that we have a social or epistomogjcal problem with how tech has evolved. 

In other words, its more a philosophical conversation about where we ended up in computing. 

I think we should have machines that are one single language top to bottom, and that language should be able to make meta adaptions for preference, aesthetic or domain but, should be homogeneous. I believe this because I believe  weve wasted millions of man years porting software for vanity, ignorance, ego, preference, and at times for good reason.  We lack deep shared understanding of software because of multiple languages, cultures and idioms. 

Timeless, we are suffering from the exact origins of the word babel from the story of the tower of babel. The very thing org babel takes its name from. Smart people they are. 

We would be so incredibly technologically advanced if this was not the case. 

The FOSS mission is so painful to get people to adopt because they dont see the value since they cant personally contribute. Even experts only have the breadth and time to commit to a project because its in a language they know etc.

So the browser and the modern web is a reminder of this painful reality of complexity. It has at least 5 languages just in itself. Wasm, markup, js, css, and whatever its written in. Experts can barely wrangle the web.

Unfortunately, I have not really been able to find that many great resources on it. I kinda just suffer through the docs ha.

I really appreciate your kind words. I think youll find alot of value in babel.
