Because I am nosey and curious, what do you mean &quot;no IDE&quot;.<br />Are you using notepad, KWrite or a CLI thingy like Vim?<br />And if you will indulge me further, why?</p><p>I am a non-coder who is fascinated by the process and hopes to one day learn python beyond basic if statements. 🤣</p>
<p>Saw some blog post talking about &quot;lessons from AI programming&quot;, and there was a whole section about treating agentic AI like an &quot;intern&quot;. The whole point of internships is it&#39;s for the *intern&#39;s benefit*! It&#39;s so the intern gets work experience! An internship shouldn&#39;t be synonymous with mindless gruntwork!</p><p>...obviously I get that internships are widely abused, and a lot of people treat junior devs poorly. But it’s depressing seeing people just be open about it.</p>

It didn&#39;t even cross my mind, but really amazing stuff.</p><p>All I have to say is great work everyone. Super interesting seeing or at least reading about so much stuff being reimplemented from the basics 😌</p>

However the native Linuxversion is crashing on startup if i run the game on my desktop.</p><p>This is caused by the KDE Plasma Wayland session. The games 7days to die has the same problem since it is based on Unity3D as well.</p><p>As a workaround i have to run the game with OpenGL instead of Vulkan.</p>
<p>Getting awfully fed up with all the stupid comparisons between SpaceX and NASA.</p><p>NASA pulled one silly political stunt in the 1960s then has done nearly nothing useful, in comparison, since as far as developing launch methods are concerned.</p><p>SpaceX has at least got re-usable orbital boosters working reasonably safely and cheaply - something nobody else has done. (No, the Shuttle was neither safe nor cheap. An approximately 1 in 70 chance a launch is going to kill the crew is less than acceptable. Maybe a 1 in 70 chance of a launch failure with, say, a 1 in 30 chance that the launch escape system fails is closer.)</p><p>Now SpaceX are having lots of troubles with Starship. Maybe the whole concept is fundamentally flawed or maybe they&#39;re just pushing a bit too hard and quality control has gone out the nozzle. I suspect quite a few people within the company have a good idea of which (or both) of these applies but maybe they&#39;re not up for telling the shithead in chief. From the outside it&#39;s hard to tell.</p><p>These are both problems NASA has had. E.g., quality control before the AS 204 fire or the under-trained &amp; overworked trajectory team for the Mars Climate Orbiter which failed to pick up on the famous SI/US customary units problem or the fundamental mess which was the Shuttle program which should have been canned well before its first launch.</p><p>(The lack of a credible crew escape system on both the Shuttle and on Starship is one commonality that bothers me. At the very least SpaceX needs to get rid of the hot-staging requirement, but I suspect they know that.)</p><p>SpaceX failed to make a controlled re-entry of one second stage resulting in a uncontrolled re-entry over Poland. Oops, shouldn&#39;t have happened but the outrage is interesting to compare with that of China leaving some 300 second stages (IIRC) in orbit which will eventually make uncontrolled re-entries.</p><p>Generally, I think SpaceX has been pushing too hard with Starship but that&#39;s fairly easy to say in retrospect. It&#39;s at least worth a try compared with the almost complete lack of progress though out the rest of the space industry.</p>
