tiledjinn··on The state of open-source in 3D printing in 2023
Open source doesn't protect the commercial interests of the producer. It protects the rights of the consumer.

It sounds like Prusa doesn't understand that central premise, or is coming to terms with how hostile open source is to traditional business models.

tiledjinn··on I use cheap notebooks
i've been using an x230 for _years_ for light work and side projects. you can mod an x220 keyboard in it if that's your thing. pretty sure it uses the same dock as the t530

haven't really found a need or desire to upgrade beyond maxing the ram and shoving an ssd in it.

looks like the key feel will be very bad
tiledjinn··on Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language
Corruption of internal state is generally what leads to crashes.

But yes, having worked in service games for over a decade now, clients are treated as untrusted agents regardless. CVEs that result in control over local execution are mostly not interesting. At least for the purpose of maintaining the game; platform holders _do_ care, mostly on fears of piracy.

Galoob didn't cause revenue issues with Game Genie in the 90's. And revenue is the thing what matters.

tiledjinn··on Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language
I've never seen a need to use rust, and regularly work on small projects in C. As far as I can tell, there isn't really a compelling reason to switch.
tiledjinn··on Why to start a startup in a bad economy (2008)
Scale and speed of scale. Planning for fast growth.

Most small businesses do not plan to grow very quickly.

tiledjinn··on Ask HN: Will Apple sell any of new MacBook Pro's outside the US?
Yes
tiledjinn··on What the eff Is Gemini?
That would be pretty difficult, as this is my first comment chain on HN in around ten years.
tiledjinn··on What the eff Is Gemini?
Gemini is problematic for me because i love the idea of a simpler web, but it doesn't solve any of its core goals around avoiding effects of advertisement while also being less accessible. There's nothing stopping someone from doing any of the dark pattern stuff in gemini the creator is upset about with the modern web. And there's nothing stopping someone from avoiding all of it with http. It doesn't really serve a good purpose as an application layer protocol.
