I think the difference between copying 1:1 game and re-creating the game is what can be the discriminator. If you get a game, raw data, and copy bit per bit you're pirating, while if someone re-creates a whole game fro scratch it's a different story.

I would argue that re-creating from scratch is more legal than a straight copy of the original data.

Maybe it should be, but it isn't. From-scratch fan remakes get shut down on copyright grounds all the time.


I've used Todoist during my university period for writing my thesis. I've setup a project and laid down every section of the thesis as a task, then, night after night, I wrote some section and marked off the task. I didn't do anything particular that I remember of, but I had a great time, the interface was polished and it felt rewarding.

I abandoned ever since I got my degree and started exploring other apps when I got a job.


> Separating the style into a stylesheet gives you global control over presentation and makes you more aligned with how the user is perceiving things.

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean that the separation through external stylesheets creates a more cohesive UI for the user?

The HTML has its say on layout part, so the presentation is not exclusively on the CSS. Also, the core part of defining the whole UI is usually delegated to some global CSS rules, usually known as the theme in CSS-in-JS libraries. I don't think having external stylesheet helps that much.


You should understand why there’s a lot of demand for programmers and how they demand might be impacted by ChatGPT


Backbone.js has an annotated source code page https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html which I found very interesting at the time.


For how cool it sounds, it seems more like you have managed to overcome the struggle than learning to ride a bike, as in you jumped on the bike for the first time in your life, in your dream, and the day after you could ride a bike in real life.


That's what I basically meant - sometimes one dream is enough to move on. Not only rational problems are being solved inside the brain while asleep. I believe that dreaming of riding a bike like it was effortless made me believe that it's actually effortless and voila, it worked.


Is there a RSS generator for Facebook pages as well? Will this support Facebook pages later on?


Facebook used to have a RSS feed, but was shutdown: it's not interesting to Facebook that users spent less time on their plataform. AFAIK RSS feed are currently only supported by https://fetchrss.com/, but it's paid or ad-based.


You can create Facebook (and Instagram, Twitter) feeds with Feedity - https://feedity.com


If I'm not mistaken Volunia search engine had this very features, it lets you join community and start discussing with other users on the same URL you're at the moment.


It looks like a virus that may try to replicate later on. If it passed unnoticed it could have gathered so much npm tokens to actually attack a much larger portion of developers. But nonetheless, starting with eslint should already provide quite a lot of credentials.


Do you have any suggestions of where to start off?


Headspace is a nice app that does some timed guided meditation - you can start by aiming to do five minutes each night. It's free for some level of use, I don't remember the restrictions but the free version is definitely enough to begin a decent meditation habit.


A pragmatic guide, that's been mentioned on HN a few times, is 'The Mind Illuminated' [0]. The subreddit [1] is a great resource as well.

I'm not sure what I'm going to say will be helpful, but this is my experience: knowing myself, there is absolutely no way I could've done it alone. I went to some sort of camp for couple of days, where there is nothing to do but meditate. At the beginning not only I thought that it's too hard for me to do, but that it's simply impossible. After the first 2 days it went better. It's not magic, but it does have a very positive effect on my life. The way I see it it's like any other sport: it's very hard to get yourself to start, but it's amazing how fast you're getting better


I found this blog post (http://drewscanlon.com/meditation-for-beginners/) from Drew Scanlon to be helpful.

He used to be a member of the Giantbomb team and discussed his experience with meditation on their podcast. He wrote the post after they received an influx of email about the aforementioned discussion. It was nice to see meditation described by an amateur practitioner; I found the advice useful, and it spurred additional interest.


Insight timer is a good free app. I had some free time recently and need to get away so I did a 1 week mindfulness retreat which I found very helpful. I was finding it hard to stick with it since returning but the app gives me a little structure to work with and I'm enjoying it so far.


“The Mindful Geek” by Michael Taft is great for someone with a programming background. I think you can download it for free from his website.
