Dual Fininte State Machine for a 2d Run'n Gun

Reply in thread

Kind of get it, But I would have a "Move", "MoveAndShoot" and so on, For each dual combination, and if I do have Sword, Shoot and Kick, that will scale quickly. But, I don't know if it's worth it in the end. Some ideas looks pretty awesome when you start, and quick becase bad when you implement.

Tips/tricks to handle Sound Effects in game?

In my humble experience what solved (considering the engine), I've a singleton for the audio, I call from this to request any SFX, it will make all the spawning of the objects that I need for the audio, clean up and such. Additionally, it allows me to add some variation on the sound (pitch, tempo, speed, volume...), so I can be as precise I need for some SFX, while leave randomness for others.

Open Source isn't enought, we need governance

Reply in thread

I'm not sure if I follow the question, let's me try to understand.

If you are talking about a self-hosting. This isn't the governance, this is the "deployment" of a software. I know that I talk heavily on this point on the essay, but the focus is regarding that self host is a act on the individual level, while governance is about who use the system and have a say on it.

I'll grab a example, (I'll avoid the Uber cliche, but maybe I need to take this one)


Imagine a N-unit building, cooperative software replaces the landlord with a transparent governance dashboard (I'm assuming that all residents own each of the units in this building). Residents propose maintenance tasks (e.g., roof leaks) and collectively vote on fund allocation using a one-unit-one-vote system. The software automatically tracks each unit's financial contributions, schedules shared laundry slots via a consensus calendar, and logs inspection reports viewable by all. When a major expense arises, the platform facilitates a binding poll, calculates each owner's share, and executes payment only when the quorum is met, ensuring every resident has equal say over their shared physical assets.


This is the example of governance that I was talking about. The people who use and own the building have a say on it. When something arives everyone have a way to discuss and talk, using the software as a tool to support then. Self-host is just the deployment for this system, but the focus is on the helping then to mitigate and ensure that everyone have a say in it.

I hope I got your point right.

I've done the change. Also, this change made me realize that has been more than 10 years since I last properly gave attention to the RSS feed. I think it's time to add on my homelab an instance of a rss feed so I can play some more on the topic.

Also, the last post is in full. Hopefully my transfer bill won't bite me :D

Self Host to Local Communities

Reply in thread

And I fully agree with you. ||And I'm the author of the text.||

On the essay I needed a simple way to explain a "baseline", something that can't go below that. And I tried to move the reader to get that this isn't a perfect solution, but a baseline. And I fully agree with you. Without a good definition of the kind of harm, measure of the harm (after all, harm is a simple term, but it does have weight), it's hard to properly go there.

But my point was, baseline, we can't go below this one. Even if a community considers "bad taste joke" as "no harm" while other community considers the other way around, it's still possible for both communities to "exist", wouldn't co-exist, but would exist.

And since both don't want to harm the other they would discuss up to some agreement on the kind and level of harm.

I understand you and to a certain degree I agree with you on the "no single person as ownership", but when we need to make decision, it's often a single person. On the federated it's better, but my dream still runs on the fully cooperative communities. Which is a far dream in the current world stage.

Also,

People within the community have to accept to a certain degree, that people don’t think exactly the same as them on everything.

This is pure poetry. I love it.

Ps.: Thanks for the reading and bringing the topic. And I think I should have done a better job on the definition of the harm too. A lesson learned.

I would love, if wasn't the web ai crawlers fcuking my limit, I added one and spiked to 120gb of data transfer in a few hours...

Edit,
I don't know the state of the RSS feed. But would a RSS feed for the last post be enough for the feed to have the text and the remaning be just a link? Because I can tank this on the data transfer.

I'll figure out how I generate the static file for the feed and see how the whole thing works. Maybe this could be a solution, not perfect, but a solution.

Just Pay the Subscription - by Dustin Bluck - Uncommon Apps

This is one of the worst articles I’ve ever read. The author’s level of stupidity makes me regret the time I spent reading it.

He’s so deeply entrenched in his own ignorance that he can’t see the signs of the broken system, the concentration of wealth, the erosion of privacy, and the loss of control over our data. Of course, he also overlooks piracy.

His errors are so numerous and profound that any attempt to engage in a meaningful discussion would require him to come out of his stupor.

I decided to look who is the author. He is a fucking “ex-Instagram” engineer, already a shitty thing, he loves subscription while holding a company that benefits from this type of source. Again shitty. While he centralizes in him (and probably fucking some federated options), instead of focusing on the federated approach. Like usual from an imperialist and bulshitter, he does have something to sell with this post. Shitty person.
