Wow. Seems like I will never stop learning new things about Lua.

This isn’t Lua code, Lua requires commas as separators for table items.

EDIT: Retracted, it seems like Lua allows this madness

I hope it’s going to be used instead of machine learning. Seems much more correct, secure and efficient to me.

I doubt TCP/UDP or basic HTTP requests will change much, but I guess it depends on how high-level the API is.

Interesting, that definitely makes sense!

Actually, I like encapsulating global state in a structured and documented construct. But I guess I could see Java developers going overboard with abstraction in an imperative language.

I’ve recently come to appreciate the “refactor the code while you write it” and “keep possible future changes in mind” ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn’t really say it’s “hard to understand”. More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.

Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren’t at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:

1. Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
2. Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
3. When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)

Possible unfree licenses for artwork

I’d still consider the game open source, even if the art is copyrighted.

Dwarf Fortress

Is there an open source version? It’s a great game (also try the steam edition if you check it out), but I thought it was closed-source.

osu! is an amazing rhythm game. Try osu!lazer, it’s the new client: https://osu.ppy.sh/home/download

I also like Pioneers and Endless Sky, both space sims.

This might not count, but both Lichess, a chess website, and OGS, a Go website are open source.

There is also Mindustry, but I haven’t played it.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

If you know it will break, try to see how to reduce the damages.

Props for actually answering the question, and with a reasonable language too. Although Forth hasn’t clicked for me personally, and I doubt it’s a better choice for OP, it’s still a unique language design and worth studying.

I can recommend Sourcehut, it’s still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn’t a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.

For anyone wanting to put their art under a free license, take a look at CC0

I just noticed…

I think it’s a little backwards that telemetry is so frowned upon in FOSS programs, because in my eyes they can benefit the most from usage data, as they don’t have the resources for large testing teams. But it needs to be implemented very carefully not to violate GDPR, the GPL license where applicable, etc, so I see why it’s a hard problem to solve.
