From my understanding they received code with contracts that forbid you from distribution.


bash nerds vs sql nerds I guess, these people are bash nerds


There's historical reasons regarding per-host connection limitations of browsers. You would put your images, scripts, etc each on their own subdomain for the sake of increased parallelization of content retrieval. Then came CDNs after that. I feel like I was taught in my support role at a webhost that this was _the_ reasoning for subdomains initially, but that may have been someone's opinion.


Magnasanti is like _the_ SimCity map people who played know of. This video made it pretty famous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTJQTc-TqpU


I love to hear the reception went so well. Awesome to see this game used as a tool.


LTT just made a video about a modern display that is like this tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0TcGjzKbag


Interesting! Although going for no backlight seem to make it about as impractical indoors as regular displays are outdoors?


They seem to reference a paper at "19)"[0] which goes into much further detail. It's odd though reading where they reference it, they talk about nothing below 0 C at all.

Is that because that's the limit of the sensor or an actual reading. It's something that happened with dosimeters at Chernobyl where people didn't realize the levels were so bad until someone pointed out that the sensors were maxed out because the levels were higher than the range the units were designed to display. I would hope that's not the reason, but it has happened in the past


I Agree, the tree is simply amazing. I had never tried sortable but felt immediately impressed there.


I understand some their complaints, others seem like typical support questions. It's inevitable and regardless of making money, it's going to happen. People suck at reading.

But, I can't look past the AI art used to generate the YouTube thumbnail on the main page. I'm sure some artist wishes they could work on an art full time, and still be able to pay their bills just as you say you wish about your software.

No one wants to pay for anything, including you.


Do you feel they would have paid someone to make the thumbnail if they didn't AI generate it or would we just have had a thumbnail that's less interesting?


Weird take... AI art is cheap or free, but that doesn't mean anything at all in relation to how you treat the person providing the service.

You have failed to understand that the value of the service is fundamentally different, providing open source software costs a human effort.

Providing art no longer requires the same amount of human effort, if AI is acceptable, so it's not at all comparable.


What would you say to someone who responds that AI art only exists because of training data stolen from unpaid artists?


That it's an emotional reaction to someone using easily available material to train a program rather than themselves.

I always saw it as a technological consequence of allowing people to view their work; training a model is no different to an individual looking at it.
