I do behave pretty differently in video games where failure doesn’t mean I lose my house or my child goes without medicine

It’s the same with things like mental health and burnout prevention. You can either have a good work life balance through the year and good management and all that or you can have some consultant come throw a PowerPoint at your peons and a $5 voucher to some BS “health” app and call it a day. One is hard and effective and the other cheap and useless

I feel like government borrowing sometimes and government borrowing more and more every year and never paying it down until the end of time or more likely bankruptcy are two different things

As long as you keep new borrowing below growth then you can do that indefinitely. The problem is when the next pandemic (or war) comes along you don't have much room to deal with it.

You can do the same with printing money, as long as you do it below growth you can do it indefinitely.

The problem always is that you can't stop and get off the tiger. No country can withstand the shock of a major cut in spending, because the population can't absorb the hit.


There were quite a few mind blowing upgrades back in the day. The first sound card instead of PC beeper was one of my most memorable moments.

Electron I bet

This is an absurd state they are at! Weekly outages in 2025 and 2026. From developer beloved and very solid to Microslop went faster than I expected

They may have been Beloved before MS bought them. It takes awhile for technical debt to catch up.

I tried prototyping a detective game also but like you said it ends up being a wrapper for a LLM and it’s a bit chaotic, not much more fun than just talking to the LLM in a web interface or whatever
