I’m not sure that it’s necessary, the issue here is that anyone can create an account and adopt an orphaned package.

I still feel like it should apply, this is the first term of the gpl:

This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language

“I rewrote it in another language as a library instead of an exe” is still covered under this term isn’t it?

I feel like rewriting a GPL thing based on the GPL version should require the GPL licence. After all, you’ve built something on top of GPL code which means it’s also GPL right?

If I go and build my own implimentation of GTK, how do I even prove that I made it entirely without looking at GTK because that’s what’s required to relicense right?

Solely from the fact that I’m telling you I made my own implementation of GTK, I’m admitting It’s not clean room right?

The part that pissed me off is that this same thing happened for DD2. But I thought, “it’s monster hunter, no way it’ll happen again!” And then it happened again!

I read that as:

6. Telstra
7. Quantas
8. Telstra

At first, it works either way

^ this is it.

It also takes time to increase production so when they spin down to reduce supply they cannot just immediately spin it up again.

This is why we’re looking at “shit sucks” until around 2028 and why we’re all hoping the Chinese companies role in and take their legs out from under them.

It’s already starting to happen, Corsair is using CMXT memory now.

What am I supposed to be looking at? They post a lot? They post American, Aus, NZ stuff? What are you on about?

Isn’t the EV tax effectively just a fuel excise tax for cars that don’t use fuel? I mean, regardless of what this article thinks the fuel excise is described as “a sales tax on fuel that is reinvested into roads”.

I wouldn’t say it’s a flop but it is kinda light on content. I finished they game on week 1 played a bit more on week 2 where nothing changed I then uninstalled it. I’m back right now because they’ve released new content though.

Most games do have huge concurrent player falloffs pretty quickly helldivers 2 currently has a 24hr peak of 63k and I wouldn’t call it a flop. Path of Exile 2 currently has a 24hr peak of 17k players, I wouldnt call it a flop. Somehow Dragon age veilguard was at the top of the steam charts in week 1 and we all know it was a flop. I’m not sure steam charts are a particularly useful metric. Fromsoft seems very happy with the amount of players in NightReign and that’s probably the most useful metric we have.

Another tui library I’ve seen lately is iocraft. Although it’s got the classic react/swiftui style.

A new JS framework! Time to reset the clock!

In all seriousness though, congrats, you’re already a lot further than most people ever get. I approve of this trend to reduce bundle size as much as possible that we’ve been moving towards.

My completely unqualified position is that manjaro is not more stable than arch, in fact, according to the news manjaro’s changes are just more instability. I’ve been running basic arch & KDE for 6 months now and it hasn’t been perfect. The biggest issue I’ve had so far is; “using the scroll wheel in the KDE start menu will crash the DE” and that was fixed in a day.

I had a fun one this week! I needed to make an SQL query that would aggregate rows by invoice and date, but only aggregate 5 then overflow to a new row. I also needed to access the individual row data because the invoice items weren’t summed, they were displayed on separate columns!

I ask my senior if there’s an easy way to do this, he comes back with “chatgpt says you can assign row numbers then get individual row data with % row number”

I go to Gemini and ask “how to aggregate rows by 5 and get individual row data out?” It says “you can’t” (since when has Ai’s been able to say you can’t do X) So I ask it about the modulo operator and it gives me an example that doesn’t really work. After screwing around for a while I give up and decide I’ll just run this query 3 times. 1 for rows 1-5 then for 6-10 and one more for 11-15 that’s so many rows surely no one will break this.

FYI Android is not about to become closed source. Google has their own internal dev branch and the publicly available main AOSP branch, this is already known. What they’re doing is simplifying their release process so that rather than having two “main” branches AOSP will be downstream from their dev branch.

IMO, it’s pretty good. I’ve really only got two criticisms. I don’t like the active component of combat in my turn based games, but that’s pretty minor. My bigger gripe is that I think the last act of the story sucks.

I was so strong at this point that boss mechanics were purely optional to me, I was capable of one shotting everything.

Also a lot of the human characters do things that made me dislike them in the final act.

Used to use vscode, then one day it stopped working for me. I’ve been using Helix full time for a few months now and I’m pretty happy with it.

I remember being taught phonics in primary school in the 2000’s, and I went to a public school so I don’t understand why we think this is revolutionary either. Maybe it’s just new in VIC? I’m from QLD

It’s funny, to me I’ve had an llm give me the wrong answer to questions every time.

The first time I couldn’t remember how to read a file as a string in python and it got me most of the way there. But I trusted the answer thinking “yeah, that looks right” but it was wrong, I just got the io class I didn’t call the read() function.

The other time it was an out of date answer. I asked it how to do a thing in bevy and it gave me an answer that was deprecated. I can sort of understand that though, bevy is new and not amazingly documented.

On a different note, my senior who is all PHP, no python, no bash, has used LLM’s to help him write python and bash. It’s not the best code, I’ve had to do optimisations on his bash code to make it run on CI without taking 25 minutes, but it’s definitely been useful to him with python and bash, he was hired as a PHP dev.

The steam page doesn’t say anything about PSN accounts right now. Maybe it’ll get updated, but right now it looks good.

In my local currency (Aussie Dollars) AAA games cost $120. Like, man, I’m not spending $120 on a game. I can’t remember the last time I bought a game at that price.
