Correct. Just ask the Silk Road guy…

Sometimes when you’re close to something it’s very hard to describe it because you’ve been looking at it from all angles for so long that when someone else approaches it from a different direction it’s hard to see what blind spots they might have. It’s not crazy to ask people for input and it’s not crazy to say “we’re open to patches if you just want to do it yourself”.

For me personally I was (and still am a bit) unclear on what being “based on git” means. Can I just rebase with abandon? Is there a concept of force push? Can I safely use lazy-git, tig, commit-patch, and other git utilities? Or is it more integrated and i have to use the rad cli to avoid corrupting the git repo? What about the issues? If I write some software and publish it with radicle, is there a way for plain git client to clone the repo without installing radicle (and without keeping a plain git mirror somewhere)?


Interesting, that kind of reminds me of Things In Rings [1]. I haven’t played it yet but it looks pretty good.

One of the other comments talked about pizza box where they throw big coin/disc and on landing site you draw rule circle.

Your link seems bit like mix of Mao and it.

And it does seem to have "the commercial" version of Mao.

I should look into it more.


Oh yeah, Unreal was so nice looking. For me, though, that moment was in the Quake prerelease demo (“q1test”). It was clearly polygonal and you could look up and down with the mouse at a very nice high frame rate, which was pretty amazing in its own right, but then I walked up to a hole in the floor and looked down into a completely different but equally well rendered room. Suddenly the possibilities of verticality hit me and I just sat there mesmerized…


Worse is that the notification for this “error” telling me I couldn’t back up without OneDrive was behind the little dot in the restart/logout menu in the start menu, which (until now) only showed me that updates were required. Now that they’ve infested that notification with ads there’s no reason for me to ever look at it again. Good job, Microsoft.


Perhaps, but I fear you’re veering way too much into “clever” territory. Remember, this code has to be understandable to the junior members of the team! If you’re not careful you’ll end up with arcane operators, strange magic numbers, and a general unreadable mess.


Perhaps my searching skills aren’t great but I don’t see any consumer ssds over 8TB. Can you share a link? It was my understanding that ssds have plateaued due to wattage restriction across SATA and M.2 connections. I’ve only seen large SSDs in U.3 and E[13].[SL] form factors which I would not call consumer.


I'm counting those non-M.2 drives as consumer. But even if you object to that classification, there are 8TB M.2 drives today.


But I bet you could really list some rubbish with it…


I love tcl. My absolute favorite thing about it is that `man tcl` [1] gives a dozen paragraphs that completely describe the language itself. Its simplicity always astounded me since it seems really simplistic but at some level it’s just as malleable as lisp. I wish it had caught on more (outside the hardware community which seems to have fully embraced it).

Tcl is magic.

Ashok's book is an excellent source of information too.


Another nit, while test and [ are indeed binaries, they are also bash built-ins (for performance, presumably) so bash won’t exec them normally.


True! And for those curious, you can enable disable this shadowing per command, like so:

  enable test
  enable -n test # disable
  enable -n [
You can also use

  command test -f file.txt
To override builtins once.
