kuwzeon Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam with graphics

Awesome! Also do you happen to know if it's coming to Linux too?

kuwzeon Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam with graphics

I wish they would release on gog too, but I guess that kind of loses the benefits of the steam workshop. Maybe an independent mod manager?

kuwzeon Open Distro for Elasticsearch

Uh... Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AGPL is more like it

kuwzeon DTrace on Windows

Didn’t know any of that. Thanks!

kuwzeon Run full Linux distros or specific applications on top of Android

I really hope that is somehow Microsoft’s gameplan. Otherwise how on earth did they justify abandoning mobile phones. I mean some of their stuff was amazing (zune), and usually I am not a fan.

kuwzeon A surprisingly arcane little Unix shell pipeline example

Disclaimer: I am an idiot on this subject

I recently found out that you can’t easily spawn a shell and then send commands to it. It’s doable with tmux commands, but you’d think it would be easier. I just wanted to write something that locates npm/virtualenv stuff in bash, nothing fancy.

kuwzeon Lambda Cube

Thank you, I never knew how ignorant I was about that.

kuwzeon Lambda Cube

"Each dimension of the cube corresponds to a new way of making objects depend on other objects"

Is it normal to refer to data structures as objects? Just to my knowledge most typed languages abhor the awesome potential of object-oriented programming, like the CLOS.

kuwzeon Holdout Jeff Bezos Confronted by Amazon Moms Demanding Day Care

Exactly!

The level of productivity we could have would enormous if we just focused on cutting out inessential tasks at the source instead of the periphery. I have been trying to promote the idea of neural ablation in company forever, but my boss just keeps moving me to darker parts of the building.

kuwzeon Ten Years of Using SPARK to Build CubeSat Nano Satellites with Students

Ada is a positevly amazing language. The only real complaint that can be made about it is the dearth of libraries/non-existent package management and the weird FSF vs. AdaCore compiler licensing issues.

kuwzeon Grave Concerns Over White House Efforts to Transfer Nuclear Tech to Saudi Arabia

This seems like a misunderstanding more than anything else. The cofounder of IP3 is a four star general in the US Army.

I can’t wait for some eDRAM to act as my L4 cache and finally start addressing the von Neumann bottleneck.

What is wrong with saying that McDonalds has baristas?

kuwzeon Talos – A modern Linux distribution for Kubernetes

Or the Talos Principle, which along with Soma and the Portal series are some of the worlds best games.

kuwzeon Reddit's user uprising against China because Tencent will invest in the platform

I will not accept them influencing our affairs with their dirty money that they earned from being used as our slave labor. When will they learn their place?

kuwzeon After GDPR, The New York Times cut off ad exchanges and kept growing ad revenue

The real issue imho is that there is no shared sales information. So you advertise BMWs to people who may have already purchased a car. I think that is a bigger issue.
