SSTOs are viable in KSP

They REALLY enjoyed that lower risk
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
Yeah, you get some offline capabilities when you have a PWA. Obviously app or not, nobody is going to be uploading video without an internet connection.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
Probably doesn’t need to run in the background unless I’m missing some feature?
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
What? No man, this is all standard mobile web stuff.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
I guarantee you that all this can be done in Mobile Safari. I have done it before.
You have to go through the “Share > Add to Home Screen” workflow instead of having the site simply install it for you, so it’s a bit more effort (and confusion) on the user’s part.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
Surely all of those things can be done in a browser. You can grant location and camera permissions to a website easy enough. And encrypted transfer can be done any number of ways. Offline recording is possible with localstorage. All of this seems very achievable and effectively uncensorable by Apple.
The only thing it can’t get is App Store search rank.
- Comment on Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible 1 week ago:
Sure, but let’s also not discount the idea that a significant percentage of businesses need no more than a single static HTML page for their website. I don’t find it a problem for a person to vibe code that up instead of hiring a real web developer.
- Comment on Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible 1 week ago:
Ehhh, I don’t think the comparison they’re making here is right. Leaning on open source software is not just for lazy developers - it’s often the best architectural choice.
I can’t think of a situation where vibe coding is the best choice except for when speed matters much more than quality, and even then only sometimes.
- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 2 weeks ago:
The world sorely needs this. Very nice work.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
Some code is boilerplate and can’t be distilled down more. It’s nice to point an AI to a database schema and say “write the Django models, admin, forms, and api for this schema, using these authentication permissions”. Yeah I’ll have to verify it’s done right, but that gets a lot of the boring typing out of the way.
- Comment on PuffPals: Island Skies, a cosy game that earned $2.5 million on Kickstarter, has been slammed with refund requests after its website and online store disappeared 3 weeks ago:
People greatly underestimate the chances of success of a video game, even with $2.5 million. It’s even easy to fail entirely for reasons unrelated to developing a game, such as corporate governance.
It’s not totally comparable, because we did a physical game, the Kickstarter I created ended up succeeding and shipping (over a year late!), we lost virtually all profits to early company investors and surprise tariffs. It was basically a wash financially.
- Comment on Spotify is finally taking steps to address its AI slop and clone problem 3 weeks ago:
Hatsune Miku sweating bullets all of a sudden.
Real talk though, there’s a whole genre of non-slop vocaloid music that these policies might affect, if I’m reading the rules strictly.
- Comment on Autism has been announced! 3 weeks ago:
Don’t hold your breath, it’s by the same devs as Kerbal Space Program 2.
- Comment on Notice is now open source 4 weeks ago:
AGPL, nice
- Comment on Hue hue hue 4 weeks ago:
Telegraph lines are longer therefore have a larger effect during a solar flare.
But yeah, at a certain level, a solar flare would fry everything.

Ablative heat shield. Someone call NASA
- Comment on [Episode] Clevatess • Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Kabane no Yuusha - Episode 12 discussion 4 weeks ago:
Agreed, this one looked like “generic edgy fantasy“ but I was regularly surprised at the depth of the worldbuilding. Definitely surpassed all my expectations.
- Comment on Machines might not be able to reproduce themselves 4 weeks ago:
Ain’t we all!
- Comment on Machines might not be able to reproduce themselves 4 weeks ago:
It’s a pointless debate anyway, because “free will” is a fuzzy concept anyway, and highly subject to personal opinion.

Nuclear winter because I can wear the bones of my enemies
- Comment on tool to make an stl from 2D image? 5 weeks ago:
Definitely agree, it probably was a non-manifold mesh. There are several ways to fix this, but one of the easiest is to load it up in Blender, apply a voxel remesh modifier to it, and then re-export.
- Comment on tall tails 5 weeks ago:
Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.
No doubt we are wrong on lots of counts, but I think we have good evidence for a lot of it as well.
- Comment on Senators demand ICE cease use of facial recognition app 5 weeks ago:
Congress can’t really pass laws, because the system inherently favors obstructionism.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 5 weeks ago:
This is my favorite type of democracy. Why even have representatives in a digital-first world?
- Comment on Civilization VII team at Firaxis Games faces layoffs 1 month ago:
Surely that’s normal for a game project? You need fewer people to maintain and make expansion content than you do to create the game.
Not saying it’s ethical but it sounds like that’s the expected timing.
- Comment on Good news. :) 1 month ago:
Oh no doubt. Any kind of secession would be resolved with a civil war, and the final borders might not be recognizable.
