I was trying DeepSeek V4 Flash Free for the first time. I had it scan my repo and update AGENTS.md.

The last section was "Notable Implementation Details". It listed a bunch of features that existed in my repo already, and then as the last bullet point it added:

  • Astroturf bollards — (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

This did in fact make me laugh, but ... well, it's not what I asked for?

For reference, my exact prompt was pretty simple:

Please update AGENTS.md. Read through notes in docs/ and .agents/rules. Also scan the code in api/ and app/ to understand the current state of the app.

I'm not actually complaining. It was kind of funny and it was harmless to put it there. And knowing it can happen m

QMK bug. :(

NO_ACTION_TAPPING disables layers. Ugh!

See https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/5735


This may be a stupid question, but I'm having trouble getting what seems like it should be a simple MO(1) key to work. I've searched for similar problems, but every post I've found was for more advanced usage of layers; I'm using an absolute basic "hold the FN key" layer application, and it just refuses to work.

I based my split keyboard loosely on handwired/split89, though I've made several modifications. Link: https://github.com/jurassic73/split89

All the keys (except for the FN key) on both halves of the keyboard work; the serial link works; I only have on

I've been working on a game, off and on, for quite a few years now, and I want to see it finished more than I want to finish it myself.

It's a multi-player digital board game, and I'm mostly using 2d rendering (except for a bit of [3d dice rolling](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB2q1G0pK7E)). It has some excellent art, but needs a lot of UI polish, and for some aspects of the game to be modified. The current state is that the game works but needs a lot more effort to complete.

Given its unique code structure, I'm *not* looking for someone with only completely indie dev experience, nor someone who has only ever used Unity. I'd like to

tl;dr: Call for board game or video game reviewers who you trust and enjoy watching, and who already review digital tabletop games. Who do you like to watch?


I'm working on a digital tabletop game that's getting close to being ready to show to a Kickstarter audience, and I'm going to need to contact reviewers who are friendly to digital board games.

I'm aware of lists of reviewers of board games, and lists of reviewers of video games, but the very reason this sub exists is that a lot of people who like board games aren't always that interested in digital versions (/r/boardgames wouldn't let me post a questi

As I write this, we're only five users from 7000 (!). You guys are great. Loving to see all of the discussion that takes place here.

Something (not sure what) also seems to have inspired a very odd series of harassing posts to the sub. These posts included threats of creating duplicate accounts to circumvent bans.

I really have no idea what inspired this, but I'm pretty much the active mod in this sub, and I am only on Reddit a couple times of day at most, so if something like this actually happens, I'm not equipped to handle it on my own.

If anyone else would like to volunteer to help out with moderation, I'd appreciate it.

In general I try to keep the moderation simple: If the post fi

I've been working on an indie game project for a few years off and on, but I'm trying to make a push to bring it to Kickstarter by February. I lost my original artist to a full time job a while back, and I'm hoping to find someone who can match his style.

I'm not enough of an artist to be able to describe the style. (Anyone who can tell me what this style might be called would earn my thanks and gratitude, along with an upvote.) Here are a couple of images that demonstrate the style:

Rifle Woman

Samurai

I would be commissioning portraits of several more

3RD UPDATE: A fourth call was also tried on Friday, and it ended up at a seeming dead-end, but eventually (today, Saturday) a specialist emailed me to tell me the warranty had been fixed. Which may have been moved along by a Redditor, though it's unclear. SO my tablet is now officially under warranty again, so I should be able to get it replaced.

2ND UPDATE: A third call to Microsoft may have resolved the issue. They're claiming that there was a "miscommunication" to their management staff. Twice. And that now things are "fixed" and that I should expect a return label by tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE: Amazon emailed Microsoft and says that if Microsoft doesn't reply, they'll r

r/lua•

Lua, for years, was my undisputed favorite language. I've been part of the r/lua community for quite a long time, and I've even submitted a patch to LuaJIT that was accepted (I found "the last bug in the 1.x branch," according to Mike Pall). I've written about automated Lua binding generation, and I've participated on Lua-L for years.

But I've found that the drawbacks of Lua (libraries fragmented across LuaJIT/5.1/5.2/5.3 in particular) and the lack of a strong ecosystem (luarocks is supports nearly 1500 modules but npm has 250,000+ packages; that's two orders of magnitude) which itself is now being fragmented acros

There's an answer on Quora right now that claims, using theoretical computer science terminology that I'm only roughly versed in, that JavaScript is not Turing Complete. In short, he makes the claim that JavaScript is only a Pushdown Automaton, which seems on its face to be ludicrous. He also claims that JavaScript lacks the equivalent of a HALT instruction, which seems to my inexpert eyes to be even more of a stretch, and he makes a few side claims as well.

It almost feels like he's just trolling, but I fear that people will actually be convinced by this academic-sounding argument that JavaScript is somehow objectively limited compared to other languages. There are
