The Free Civ and Free Colonization games are good. Brogue, Nethack, DCSS are good if you like roguelikes. OpenMW is a totally open source reimplementation of Morrowind, so that might fit the bill.

I am very surprised if he can't find a job, as an American, in DC, with 12 years of C++ experience. Sure companies aren't great at assessing open source experience, but there is one area its easy to find a job as a dev: work that requires a clearance.

Not everyone will take a job that requires clearance because they are usually "defense" related.

St. John’s college is a great place that draws a special type of young person, but its graduates are not very STEM-legible. As far as I know they still offer no choice of major & no hands-on classes — just the great books.

Of course that makes this person’s skill all the more impressive.

The fact that software to show the bible needs a GPU is funny in some kind of dystopian way. That is the kind of software that should work in 50k of memory.

I find it entertaining that even as part of a Russian hacking gang, the real threat is the Russian tax authorities. Regardless of how you got the money, need to pay the taxes.

That's not specific to Russia, almost every country in the world requires you to report illegal income for tax purposes, including the US.

Pregnancy and birth is a miracle. And the death rate is extremely low in the developed world.

> There are immigrants that advocate for pulling up the ladder behind them and advocate for very racist policies.

If you listen to the immigrants supporting "pulling up the ladder", you wouldn't be making such bad faith attacks. Typically the arguments come from legal immigrants that took no benefits, attacking policies of mass immigration or illegal immigrants and giving social benefits to immigrants. This isn't pulling up the ladder, this is a fiscally conservative view that someone who pays taxes can hold and is a reasonable policy to have.

> There are many great ways to contribute to FLOSS projects and coding is only one of them - let me underline that.

I've seen this a lot and really disagree. Maybe writing books or evangelism is useful, but those are still technical. These foundation boards and groups get filled up with people padding their career resume and make detrimental choices to oss. They want to get "Board member of X foundation" so they can try to get a corpo board seat.

What an absurd claim. They are acting immorally. They are lying and stealing. Under your logic if you are richer than me I can rob you and aims its weakth redistribution. You have more money, youll get it back!

This is an old internet tradition. I am disappointed so few organizations are doing a good april fools day post nowadays.

The website is an entirely static website, and the frameworks main pitch is how good it is with reactive websites. This website could be entirely the same with html and css.

That's true... but there's also plenty of other examples with more reactive elements.
