How to Write Your Own Space Invaders Clone
Week 28
now the fun part. first we provide the framework with the delegate which sets up the callbacks we need to provide, in order to recursively query the projectile server, so that in a few weeks we're going to be able to begin the infrastructure code that will allow us start work on the test suite which we can write the movement engine against. this will be very useful around Week 50-55 when we might be able to get some aliens on the screen

Life is short.

Just send them a message.

I can't think of a better illustration of the fundamentally selfish, libertarian foundation of the free software movement than a GNU maintainer loudly affirming that contributions known to be produced by slave labor are welcome without reservation https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-11/msg00128.html

what's your plan for when AI collapses and you have to explain the years you spent forgetting how to program on purpose

video games were invented in 1975 by video kojima when he tried to make a movie and accidentally added buttons

@jk Well, there's the "locate" command... But it has to have been installed, and it's indexer "updatedb" has to have run after being configured correctly, but make sure you are using the right docs, because there's also mlocate and slocate and plocate that do the same things but differently, and by the way if you're using cron then the config is in a different place than if you are using systemd timers and...

...and hell yes there are reasons people don't use Linux.

on my windows install i hit "ctrl-alt-E" and it opens the program Everything. i type filename and the result appears instantly

on linux i type "find . --type f filename" and the syntax is wrong. so i try "-type" and thats wrong. so i type "man find" and theres a wall of text about symbolic links and shit. so i go into google and type "linux find command syntax" and twelve pages of slop results come up. i click one and it slowly loads. theres a wall of text which is even worse than the manpage

i can remember places i've been to (or only seen in photos) decades ago, and navigate them successfully. i can describe images i saw once when i was a kid. but i have literally no 'verbal memory', i can't remember movie lines, or lyrics to any of my favorite songs, and when it comes to programming, and terminal commands? well. i've been using linux distros for almost 20 years and still, daily, look up things like "linux how to find files with extension". it is NOT a good operating system for me

I found the picture I've been looking for!

There is no such thing as "ethically using AI". AI is trained on stolen data. AI is destroying the environment and communities. AI is making us stupid. Use AI if you want, just don't pretend you're doing it in ethical way.
