We might see a fracture open slowly. For me, even AGPL is not enough

And it offers me THREE different chess games I could install!

I believe that is a "canton": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_(flag)

> In vexillography, the canton is a rectangular emblem usually placed in the upper hoist of a flag, usually occupying up to a quarter of a flag's area. The canton of a flag may be a flag in its own right. For instance, British ensigns have the Union Jack as their canton, as do their derivatives such as the national flags of Australia and New Zealand.

They say it's in the "upper hoist" because it's not per se the top left - If the flag is flying and you're seeing it from behind, it may be the top right. Either way it is the side closer to the flag pole, or whatever it's flying from. When shown on a computer screen or in print, usually it is the top left. Some flag codes require flags to be mirrored on the right side of vehicles or uniforms so that it always appears to be flying from the vehicle or person as they move forward.

1. In general, do whatever Wikipedia does. e.g., start with a one-sentence definition, then a couple paragraphs of summary, then go into short specified sections, and keep links to the "Citations" at the end. It's been refined for 25 years, it's older than most of your engineers, it's 50+% correct by default.

2. Keep every section to one screenful. If your reader can't see a headline, they get lost.

3. Put a funny picture at the top of the page. Or at least something off Wikimedia Commons.

4. Don't spend a lot of time writing anything. And don't use AI. The AI doesn't know what's inside your head. You yourself have an inkling. The longer you write, the further you'll get. Just write one short thing at a time and refactor aggressively later. Never throw shit over a fence blind. Nobody reads shit that's been flung over a fence.

Steven King said writing is telepathy. All mediated communication sits on a Pareto trade-off with face-to-face communication. Media is always less interactive with slower iterations. You need to figure out exactly what your audience needs, right when they're reading, and write just that, knock 'em dead, and leave. Don't add detail. They'll ask if they need detail.

Like, do you have $1,000 in an emergency fund? No? Start there.

It's a lot easier to get bug reports and fixes when everyone is on the same auth system.

That's why there is also a call for federated forges

The houses got expensive because homeowners wanted housing to be an investment, so they voted for laws that make it harder to build or densify housing.

Cars are expensive because the government puts tariffs on perfectly good imports to protect the American car companies. The American car companies produce garbage, and even the electric car companies like Tesla and Rivian are producing super-high-tech luxury land yachts. The government incentives are also captured to produce huge trucks, and many states don't have regular inspections, so lifted trucks are common. The companies don't want to build and sell small cars because the perception is that a small car is going to get pancaked in a crash with a bigger, heavier car. Gas prices don't matter because the government artificially suppresses them, sometimes with war.

Corn and dairy are cheap because the government subsidizes them at the behest of the corn and dairy lobbies, which use small good ol' boy farmers who don't even exist as their marketing. A lot of the corn goes to ethanol for fuel, even though it's a crappy fuel and an acre of solar panels results in many more miles of EV driving than the same acre of corn ethanol. So you can also get a cheap soda and a cheap cheese pizza, but a lot of the food pipeline is captured by seed monopolies and middle-men. Somehow milk became a bit of a right-wing meme, and it's basically a naturally-occurring dessert, so people love milk even though it's not good for you and not a good way to get nutrients.

> Even food where normally you could walk in a shop

You aren't supposed to walk in America. You're supposed to drive. Don't get me started lol

Electric motors are sort of like hermit crab shells - Hard and long-lasting, but they only exist because they piggyback off of a living species.

I didn't see a picture of Zocchi's d100, Wikipedia has one

Also face normals (flat shading) are generally considered older tech than per-vertex lighting (Gouraud shading). Newer stuff since 2008-ish is generally per-pixel using normal maps for detail.

:P
