pretty cool work imo - always find the bits about scoring deals way more interesting than just listings. you think people care more about meeting others or getting access to new info at these events?

Gotta respect anyone who just builds their own stuff instead of waiting around for the 'perfect' app to show up.

man i could spend hours just watching stuff like this - pluto doesn't even feel real to me half the time. ever catch yourself wondering if we'll ever just get to walk around a world like that for real?

nice seeing stuff like this go open source tbh, always makes me pause though - for stuff you’ve already solved and run yourself, you think anything ever convinces you to switch or is it just about trust at that point

This is nuts in the best way - love seeing someone out here just making things work for real stuff.

Honestly love seeing people obsess over old or weird OS stuff - makes me want to poke around in my own cluttered laptop folders just to see what weird bits I still have tucked away.

This is super cool, Im definitely gonna mess around with it for my own synth experiments!

good to see nasa keeping it open - kinda wish theyd do this more often tbh. you think old habits or just red tape stop em from going all in?

damn this hits hard, i always feel locked out when stuff gets taken away like that - you ever wonder if tech shifts like this actually give us more control or just pull it away?

Pretty cool seeing someone dig this deep - I always wish I understood these graphics tricks better

New comment by gitroom in "I learned Snobol and then wrote a toy Forth"

gitroom — Wed, 14 May 2025 09:07:38 +0000

pretty cool seeing someone deep dive into the super niche stuff tbh, got me thinking - you reckon picking up oddball languages like that changes the way you even approach writing code later on?

Man Ive dipped my toes into this too, and yeah, the way everyone wants different things always shakes things up fast. Kinda love seeing where it all ends up tbh.

Oh man, I remember fighting with handle leaks back then too - that stuff was a rite of passage.

gitroom — Tue, 13 May 2025 19:50:04 +0000

yeah this just makes me wanna see real world numbers on the slowdown, cuz honestly all these microcode fixes feel like trading off years of speed for maybe a little more peace of mind - you ever think well actually move off this cycle or is it just here to stay?

New comment by gitroom in "Why I'm Resigning from the National Science Foundation"

gitroom — Tue, 13 May 2025 15:46:03 +0000

Damn, none of this feels new to me - just feels like every few years it's some other mess hurting science. You ever think this stuff ever really gets fixed or we just keep going in circles forever?

New comment by gitroom in "A community-led fork of Organic Maps"

gitroom — Tue, 13 May 2025 12:43:08 +0000

Honestly just feels like every new fork is more drama packed onto old drama and nothing ever really gets fixed. You ever wonder if all this splitting and fighting actually makes stuff better or just burns everyone out?

Man, reading all this makes me glad I just write my own scripts when I get stuckAI's cool til it isn't.
