I feel compelled to say that NOLF is awesome, and it's also source-available:

Please be careful using a release distributed on a site without TLS and links to other certain well-known file sharing sites.

I mean, NOLF was way ahead of its time. A parody that also was a really good game. Like, a parody that was not sarcastic or ironic. It is hard to describe.

Pastiche, perhaps?

Ye. Humourus pastiche.

This is my number one question - how to trust the executables from here :-/

You don't have to trust them to run them. Run them in a VM or sandbox.

Don't worry about the FUD imho https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt

Personally I would trust a fan-made work distributed through MediaFire and MEGA (and there is nothing wrong with these services!) more than some corporate re-release riddled with DRM and “““analytics””” (the word we've collectively agreed to pretend doesn't mean “spying” lol)

that site has been around for quite a while, it's legitimate

I found this one to be quite impartial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B67vadCC1gg

IGN gives Civilisation 7 a 7/10 7 days ago! The most IGN thing ever.

Somehow, I knew I'd run into an Office Space reference in this thread.

This is a seriously left-field suggestion, because, it's neither a streaming service nor a recommendation algorithm, but over the years I've never found anything better than last.fm for classification of music.

For as long as I can remember, last.fm has had the ability to show you similar artists when given any one particular artist. And it's remarkably good, in my opinion.

With it, I've discovered so much great music that I'd have never stumbled upon organically.

It's also totally free to browse and without signing up. For example, browse artists similar to Jean Knight: https://www.last.fm/music/Jean+Knight (scroll down to "Similar Artists", or just tack on /+similar to the URL)

Damn. Nice. Thank you.

This is remarkably polished for a hobby project. Kudos.

This paper isn't proposing that humans can be understood using a "computer model".

I love the idea.

I'm having difficulty using the map, though. It feels like it's leaking resources, because after panning and zooming around the world for just a few seconds it almost completely locks up and stops responding to user input.

Thanks for the helpful feedback, I appreciate it, I was lazily rendering all the markers because I was working with a much smaller dataset of only US resorts, but the map component was rendering and calculating the position of 4000+ markers on every map move, I added some optimizations (only renders when zoomed in a bit, only renders visible markers) and it's running a lot smoother now. Thanks!

I think a more charitable interpretation of the suggestion you're quoting would be the opposite: how some people love nature.

As for Mars, suggesting that it is merely a "dead rock" with "no environment" grossly oversimplifies its geology. It's a seismically active planet with an atmosphere.

A dead rock means no life.

> It's a seismically active planet with an atmosphere.

It's still a dead rock. There's nothing sacred about it.

I don't think I have the skill to learn a stenographer's keyboard, but I would love to have a small chorded keyboard just for macros.

I always liked the look of Doug Engelbart's one in the Mother of All Demos. It's very basic, but I'd be quite satisfied with something like that today. He demonstrates it at about 1:40:

There are a bunch of macropads with open source firmware so you just need to find one you like and program in the macro/chording you want.
