Geometry Dash - Update 2.2 is out now!
  • Scope creep. The developer keep adding features to the game, including a whole new game type. The game is twice as big as it was before the update.

    He's also developing the game solo, with little help from a couple volunteers. I'm not sure why he refuses to hire people.

  • browser rule
  • I haven't played modded Minecraft in a while but i wanna get back on it. Do you have any recommendations for recent mod packs?

    (i ask you because you have the Prism launcher open)

  • Fusion 360 increasing annual price to $680 USD
  • Fusion360 is for CAD, people use it for designing mechanical parts. It has features like simulation, generative design, shape optimization, additive manufacturing design, etc. It is a really complete software for what it does, and that's why it is a shame that the price increased so much.

    For art, you should try Blender. It's widely used and libre software!

  • (Spoilers) Recommendations for near future "All Powerful AI" Stories?
  • Since you mentioned the Frankenstein Complex, i guess you're familiar with the worka of Isaac Asimov. If not, I suggest you read the short stories in the MULTIVAC series, as they describe a future where a supercomputer with predictive capabilites 'rules' the world.

    My personal recommendation is 'The Evitable Conflict', which doesn't mention the MULTIVAC but describes similar machines. It also portrays a future that, depending on your poiny of view can be utopic or dystopic.

  • You hurd me.
  • My knowledge on the subject is limited but from what i understand, HURD is a project that seeks to bulld a microkernel based replacement for the UNIX kernel. Contrasting with the Linux kernel, which serves the same purpose but is monolithic.

    The difference between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel is that the first runs all the kernel services that compose the operating system. Whereas in the later, the kernel runs only the most essential services and rest are implemented by servers. At least theory, this makes the system more adaptable, modular, and robust.

    I think it's pretty similar to the Systemd vs minimalistic init systems debate. Systemd does it all, but by doing so, it could limit your choices on the software you wanna use for each task. Also, since it has a lot of features, there are some that you'll never use, which is why some people consider it bloated.

    Init systems like Runit seek to solve this by just being init systems, nothing else. Other tasks are handled by other programs that are similarly designed for just that one task.

    Personally, I'm in the "systemd and the monolithic Linux kernel are great" team, but it's just a matter of preference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
