I suspect change will have to begin at the state level.

Does anyone know which state has taken the most steps toward universal health care?

Interesting update:

> We've received a preliminary explanation from the data center that suggests that a battery test went horribly wrong due to human error and wiped out at least the entire floor we're on. Possibly more. It's not clear yet.

Nice to see an accurate (offsite) status page!

I wonder if this post would get more traction if it was submitted as a Show HN. You’re (meaning the submitter) the author and the game is free, so I think it meets the requirements for Show HN.

Build is not FLOSS: http://eduke32.com/buildlic.txt

Edit: non-commercial-only, distribution only allowed via the Internet, etc.

I had never heard of navigator.storage.persist(). I will give it a try, thanks!

Thanks! Honestly, comments like this probably have a more positive impact on me than the small amount of money I could have made by selling the game :)

Wow, that link indicates that members likely won’t get anything, even their $5 share, back. So who is benefitting from the sale?

Good question. From context, maybe they meant "diverse"?

I published a not-super-popular (edit: but free) esoteric programming game on Steam and of the < 100 (Steam) hardware survey responses for people who have played my game, I'm seeing closer to 5% on Linux (edit to add: my game doesn't support Steam Deck).

I'm sure the hardware survey is biased towards Linux, but it's still a surprising result! Especially so, given that I originally only released the game on Windows (and later added Linux support after getting multiple requests to port the game).

One issue with publishing a browser-based game that this article glosses over is: managing save data.

The browser provides Local Storage, but that isn't reliable as a "source of truth" since browsers (mostly on iOS, I think) may delete the data periodically (thanks, iOS, for deleting my Wordle history!) or when clearing browser history. Aside: the worst situation is when publishing on itch.io and playing on an iPad--your data appears to get saved to Local Storage but is actually wiped immediately to prevent cross-site tracking (itch.io hosts HTML5 games in a frame with a different domain).

Publishing on Steam, on the other hand, gives you durable file system storage and you can add cross-device syncing via Steam Cloud very easily. I'm holding out hope that something like remoteStorage will eventually catch on for browsers, but for now I don't really see a convenient solution.

If anyone has ideas for managing save data in a browser game that don't involve hosting user data myself (and dealing with account recovery, GDPR, etc.), let me know!

Given the history of data breaches, my first thought is that this could have been a scam. For anyone else in this position (esp. if you’re fairly certain it’s not a scam), here is some info on what you can do: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/fake-abusive-debt-collecto...

Edit: namely, this part:

> your debt collection rights, including your right to get information about the original creditor if you ask for it within 30 days of getting validation information from the collector

Note: This was definitely not correct! JSON-RPC apparently started in 2005.

I would assume DAP predates (and possibly motivated) JSONRPC (edit: so it might have been working off of a draft spec). Hopefully someone knowledgeable can comment.

Are there specific Guile code bases that are motivating this work?

As an additional data point, my usual OOM experience on Linux is also a completely frozen system until I get frustrated enough to power cycle the machine.

Has anyone transitioned from this being their observed behavior to something more tolerable? What did you change to avoid this problem?

Erring on the side of privacy by removing EXIF metadata seems like the right default to me.

I assumed this would be unusable on my phone, but it actually works great!

And nice work on the load time. Every time a non-photorealistic game takes more than a few seconds to load on my desktop, I get unreasonably annoyed.

Note: I don’t think I’d ever want to really play a first person 3D game on my phone, but it’s fun to see that it would be possible.

That first frame is deep in the uncanny valley!

I was wondering if this was some tricky new scam, but after reading the notice it's probably nothing new for people on here--the infographic's first phase of the scam is: "Tech Support Imposter: Pretends to be technical support; Directs you to install software on your computer to allow them remote access". I sure hope no one on here would install software requested by unsolicited tech support!

Thanks! Yeah, it's subjective, but I thought the chances of someone making the same progression (LMMS to ???) on HN were pretty high. Of course, I left out tons of context that might have helped (e.g. some people want to make music live--I do not).

Really, it might make the most sense to just find music similar to what I've made (or want to make), and then ask/research what they're using. Edit: I think that's how I originally found FL Studio and Reaper, come to think of it!

Related question: any suggestions on what to try next after LMMS?

I was planning to try Reaper or FL Studio.

My biggest complaints with LMMS are: doesn’t support VST3, can’t see notes for multiple tracks at the same time (although I saw a “ghost notes” patch someone was working on for this scenario).

“CL” is probably “change list” — I think that term for a patch is from Perforce.

One more: the Epic store web site scales games’ images, leading to ugly scaling artifacts—something I haven’t seen on a major web site since the 90s.

I recall this being similar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36371168

Really wish it didn’t default to having sound…

Am I out of line for disliking the number/size of dependencies Spinneret pulls in?

My amateur theory is that Tether could have imploded for most of its existence, but now there’s a real chance that they have been (or will be) able to bluff their way to solvency.

But I’m probably wrong…

For the record, I love this project's minimalist goal. Having said that, I agree with the other commenter that escaping by default (with an opt-out mechanism) is probably the better choice.

I don't even think this violates your prioritization because it should result in less code when considering an app in its entirety (framework + logic).
