<p>wild how easy it is to read random common lisp libraries from over 20 years ago. it varies to be sure but the cognitive difference between python from 20 years ago and today is probably more significant, not merely syntactically but in style and layout of application architecture as well.</p>

<p>Q for research friends: have you started planning what to do if the US gov&#39;t suddenly restricts access to GitHub? Could happen in several ways, e.g., Microsoft has to filter DEI content to stay eligible for federal contracts or a &quot;nothing Ukrainian&quot; rule, but the mechanism doesn&#39;t matter: what does it that it&#39;s no longer impossible. Yes, you have a clone of your repo, but not of your issues, and how will you reconnect with contributors? If you have a plan, please share a link - thx.</p>

@leon@peoplemaking.games @whitequark@mastodon.social @lunarood@mastodon.gamedev.place @mcc@mastodon.social Let me understand this clearly - your argument for why academics are fine to release their stuff, but other people aren't, is because academics are bad at making good software? Also, lol, lmao on ethics. There's a classic joke about that: in physics conference people are chatting about what are they focused on. One guy says that he's doing research on cylindrical objects in hypersonic flows. Another guy asks "oh, like missiles?", and the first guy revolts and responds "no, this is purely researching novel physics just for the sake of it, no military things here, I would never do anything like that".
