What're the issues you ran into with LFS?

I think something got mangled shopify's digital copies. I just bought it and the pdf has a bunch of weird encoding problems, like "Th" being replaced with "~", "fi" with "ÿ", and spacing/tabs getting inserted in the middle of words

My favorite part about Shadow dark is the players flatly don't get dark vision

Ah, yeah trying to wrap your head around idiomatic interior mutability while also learning rust is certainly a tall order

I think the easiest solution for the short term is to switch to `try_borrow_mut` and then safely handle the `Result` it hands back until you get a little more rusty

What's the usecase pushing you to use borrow_mut instead of marking things mut and letting the borrow checker solve the ownership?
September 1, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Strict, but not unreasonable. The easiest way to adapt is to internalize that the language is keeping you honest about virtualization, side effects, and ownership upfront. In exchange, you get to trust that if it compiles, it's nigh impossible to crash

Consider a contrived function IsEven(number). It is supposed to return false for odds and true for evens, but for whatever reason instead returns 0 for odds and number divided by 2 for evens. If you fix it, then any downstream code that expects "IsEven(6) != IsEven(8)" to be true will silently break

I believe it ceases to meet the strict definition of "open source" at that point, but I think that's fine. It's your labor, you should get to dictate who can and can't profit off of it

An alternative model/principal set I've seen floating around is Fair Code: faircode.io

Do they offer cashiers or certified checks?

Skip it, tbh. I've tried making it work repeatedly, and it just resolved to combat debuffs and annoying RP

Instead: if a player fails a madness check, add their result to a persistent madness score. At session start roll 1d100 per player. If under, gaslight them. If over, decrement the score by 10

If you're on android, I highly recommend the Minimalist Phone app. You can set app-specific timers that either ping you or just close the app when time is up. It's helped my adhd partner break a lot of their dopamine drip habits

Ime core hours are forever being dragged towards HQ hours just to facilitate communication with the rest of the team

I would also highly recommend a vertical ergonomic mouse. Mine alleviated a ton of wrist and shoulder pain the first month I got it, and it was only $30 or so

I've got my critical files on a RAID box in the spare bedroom. That being said, I haven't had any of my local NVMe drives die on me in the 5 or 6 years since I started using them

"people don’t want to have to ask for those changes, often they wish they could make the changes themself…"

You're talking about nondevs making commits w/o a dev intermediary, no?
March 24, 2025 at 4:38 AM
Then absent a POC, I'm not sure I understand your plan. Right now it reads as you asking the runway'd maintainers to build out a nocode shim from scratch, which is a non-starter
March 24, 2025 at 4:07 AM
I think what you don't have optics on is the amount of sustained work that goes into any software project, including the ones that grant non-devs agency. So it's less gatekeeping and more a lack of interest in your asks

Sadly it doesn't, since only some of the carcinogens have a scent. A little $100 AQI box from amazon's helped me find the leaks in my setup, and has kept me and my fluffball safe
