Hasnep··on Wk. 6 of Vibecoding an MMO
I believe the "massively" part of "massively multiplayer online game" means all the players are in the same world, unlike other multiplayer games where you might join a match with a group of players.
Hasnep··on Luanti removed from Google Play due to baseless AI copyright notice
That's not how you get copyright, the creator of a work automatically gets the copyright. You can sue someone for violating your copyright, but if you tried to claim copyright of the US flag your case would get thrown out immediately.
Hasnep··on How is the Bun rewrite in Rust going?
I think they missed a $ sign, i.e. they meant $100k of tokens
Hasnep··on Splash Is a Colour Format
Sorry who are you? Are you the author?
Hasnep··on Shantell Sans (2023)
I recently came across Annotation Mono which has less of the informality of Shantell Sans, but still has a handwritten feel.

Hasnep··on DAG Workflow Engine
The LLM generated the words "production ready" so it must be true!
Hasnep··on OpenWarp
I agree on the name, but to me the word community here is used to mean it's not run by a company.
Hasnep··on OpenWarp
You probably can't name a project OpenWarp for the same reason you can't name a search engine OpenGoogle, even though it's a different name to the original. In this case, it's particularly confusing because the original warp project _is_ now open source.
Hasnep··on Using coding assistance tools to revive projects you never were going to finish
It's how you'd talk about a dog that you know the sex of, but if you didn't know you'd probably use "it". An LLM doesn't have a sex or gender, so I think the natural way to refer to them is "it".
Hasnep··on Olive CSS: Lisp powered vanilla CSS utility-Class A la Tailwind
You're right, open source and free software are not the same thing, but software licenced under the MIT licence is still free software. Even the FSF describes the MIT licence as a free software licence (see my other reply in this thread).
Hasnep··on Olive CSS: Lisp powered vanilla CSS utility-Class A la Tailwind
This seems to be a misunderstanding by the author, a licence doesn't have to be copyleft to be free software. Even the FSF describes the MIT licence as a free software licence (they prefer calling it the Expat licence).

> Expat License (#Expat) > > This is a lax, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.

Hasnep··on Wit, unker, Git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy
The point isn't that we should all speak like Chaucer, it's that singular they isn't a new thing within our lifetimes.
Hasnep··on Help Keep Thunderbird Alive
1. $0. 2. Probably close to 100%.
Hasnep··on Help Keep Thunderbird Alive
I'm pretty sure they show it something like once a year, and it takes two seconds to close it, if you can't spare two seconds of your life every year for something you get for free then you were never going to donate anything.
Hasnep··on Help Keep Thunderbird Alive
You won't donate because they will try not to discriminate when hiring? It's illegal to discriminate on things like race, sex and gender when hiring, so pretty much every company avoids it.
Hasnep··on Lisette a little language inspired by Rust that compiles to Go
Spy (https://github.com/spylang/spy) is an early version of this kind of thing. I believe it compiles to C though, kinda like Nim. Actually speaking of Nim, that's probably the most mature language in this space, although it's less pythonic than Spy
Hasnep··on Judge blocks Pentagon effort to 'punish' Anthropic with supply chain risk label
I hate Trump as much as the next guy but this feels like nitpicking. You're obviously right, but if you choose not to vote then you're implicitly approving of whatever outcome you get.
Hasnep··on GitHub appears to be struggling with measly three nines availability
I'm trying out SelfCI [1] for one of my projects and it's similar to what you were describing. My whole CI pipeline is just a shell script that runs the actual build and test commands, I can write a script in another language like python if I need more complexity and I can run it all locally at any time to debug.

Hasnep··on Why I love NixOS
I see your point about there being different ways to install a package, but I think I can clarify a bit by explaining how I use NixOS.

If I'm running a package on a server that means I want to install it declaratively, so I find the name of the package in Nixpkgs and put it in my `configuration.nix` file. I'm using flakes, but the configuration is exactly the same, I just put the package in the output section of the flake. Any instructions you see to install a package just boils down to finding the name of the package. To me this is as simple as finding the name of a Debian package and running `apt` to install it.

If you want additional features there are other optional ways to install packages, but these are features other distros don't offer, so if you just ignore them then there's no extra complexity compared to Debian for example.

Hasnep··on A Japanese glossary of chopsticks faux pas (2022)
Except a bunch of those diagrams are showing the wrong thing, but yeah, other than that it's good.
Hasnep··on A Japanese glossary of chopsticks faux pas (2022)
Sure, and American table manners are the cause of rising fascism, there's a whole Wikipedia article on all their rules. [1] They're more worried about elbows on the table than the increase in authoritarianism.

See, I can make up dumb shit too.

Hasnep··on Temporal: The 9-year journey to fix time in JavaScript
There are no date, time or datetime types in JSON, so you'll have to serialise it to a string or an int anyway, and then when deserialising you'll need to identify explicitly which values should be parsed as dates.
Hasnep··on Malus: Clean room engineering of any open-source dependency
I've thought about doing this as a joke ever since LLMs started being used for generating code, I even made something [1] adjacent to it for April fools last year. It's weird to see someone taking the idea seriously.

Hasnep··on Addressing Antigravity Bans and Reinstating Access
If you can't access your account to upgrade it then I assume not
Hasnep··on Julia: Performance Tips
There is also a section of Modern Julia Workflows [1] about optimisation that gives helpful, practical advice.

Hasnep··on Minions: Stripe’s one-shot, end-to-end coding agents
If you put up a sign on your house saying "businesses, feel free to come use my driveway for whatever you want" and McDonald's sets up a restaurant there then you won't have much sympathy from me.

Welcome to the free software movement!
Hasnep··on MuMu Player (NetEase) silently runs 17 reconnaissance commands every 30 minutes
Taiwan is "not mainland China" in the same way that Greenland is "not mainland USA"
Hasnep··on MuMu Player (NetEase) silently runs 17 reconnaissance commands every 30 minutes
There are two countries that contain the substring "Republic of the Congo" and everyone seems to be okay with that
Hasnep··on Show HN: A small, simple music theory library in C99
I think you're looking at this the wrong way around. A human might know the notes of a D Dorian scale, but a computer doesn't. If you've ever selected the key of D major in any music creation software and it's shown you a stave with two sharps then the computer was using a library like this.
