• The Server Chose Violence

  Very enjoyable read, and this single supervisor is similar to how I set up an application at a previous startup, where we unwrapped everything. This reminds me of one of my favorite posts https://medium.com/@mattklein123/crash-early-and-crash-often-for-more-reliable-software-597738dd21c5. - Source: Hacker News / about 20 hours ago

• The Vision Pro is a big flop

  So, when you follow the link under "Apple initially had a sales target of 3 million Vision Pro units in its first year", you'll see that this number came from Marc Gurman and is based on nothing. He then quotes Ming-Chi Kuo's similarly unsubstantiated "800,000 units" claim. Since the 72.5% accurate¹ Kuo can't possibly have guessed wrong, the explanation must be that Apple slashed production.

A small, unique, tractable webgame might help market the community, especially if it's built around a good story. A weird, interesting little game like paperclip maximizer or dark room could perform very well - those always seem to get substantial traction. Likewise, a short visual novel with solid...

• Looking for a MUD I used to play

  Save for the early oughts timeframe and the lack of an explicitly high fantasy setting, A Dark Room (2013), one of the earlier lo-fi idle games, seems to somewhat fit the bill: given the browser-based interface, a mostly gray scale UI, an on-screen world map (available in the later phases of the game), and the lack of leveling in favor of infinite progression.
