It's just me or no one has a clue what "life" is.

Reading bad code is harder than writing bad code. Reading good code is easier than writing good code.

Do you develop and manage the server alone? It's a quite a different reality when you have a big team.

I also have seem the opposite somewhat frenquently: some team screws up the server and unrelated stable services that are running since forever (on the same server) are now affected due messing up the environment.

Don't forget the cost of managing your one big server and the risk of having such single point of failure.

talles — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 04:15:10 +0000

OK, not GitHub "because Microsoft". But is there any particular reason why Forgejo and not GitLab, Gitea, or Gogs?

I'm not throwing shade at Forgejo or anything like that, I'm genuinely curious if there's anything about Forgejo that made it a better alternative than the other options.

"Literally stop existing"? Having broken links and notifying everyone when a migration happens is for sure a hassle, but migrating a git repo is the easiest thing in the world.

That's kinda the whole point of a distributed VCS.

There are considerable privacy concerns regarding pix, some Brazilian government officials are able to obtain transaction information without a court order, which is needed when it comes to traditional methods that came before pix.

When talking about AI, intelligence is meaningless if you don't defined it beforehand. The common sense meaning of intelligence fails on this kind of discussion.

talles — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 16:27:49 +0000

I'm imagining that for most of the examples you have to own a printer/scanner with better than average resolution and that the paper would only work if in pristine condition, considering how small the visual details are.

talles — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 15:44:18 +0000

Underground 2 already did open world back in 2004 and it's pretty much the norm today for AAA titles. Maybe it's the Nintendo effect here, since they have history of innovation, but MK being open world it doesn't seem that impressive at all.

KLOC is as objective as your other examples and as meaningless as well IMO.

It amazes me how immature our field can be. Anyone that worked for big corporations and in humongous codebases know how 'generating new code' is a small part of the job.

AI blew up and suddenly I'm seeing seasoned people talking about KLOC like in the 90s.
