first well known work after 1970
The Martian Chronicles was published in 1950, Fahrenheit 453 in 1953
I had the same experience with Hedgewars, but I can’t really say why it doesn’t click like Worms for me.
Battle for Wesnoth - a turn based tactics game in a fantasy setting. It’s also available on Steam and itch.io. Coincidentally, version 1.18.0 was released yesterday.
“women” feels weird for a lot of English speakers
Why does it feel weird? (not a native speaker here)
Pro tip: you can actually get organized in a union and strike just to get more money, no need for AI or getting fired. CEOs hate this trick!
I agree that there are a lot of revolutions ending up way more totalitarian than planned.
I’m not sure there are hundreds of them that had communism or a stateless society as a goal though. Many military dictatorships had a military dictatorship as a goal after all. But of course there were also many who had that goal, and failed on a huge scale.
There were more revolutions than just the Zapatistas that seemed to be promising though, like the Spanish Revolution and the the Makhnovshchina.
As I said, it depends on a lot of definitions of rather complex concepts.
The point I was trying to make, was that you don’t have to end up with a state, especially not a soviet style state, after a revolution. And in my opinion a violent uprising or an having an organized militant group does not mean you have a state. If I understand it correctly, the Zapatistas don’t have a principle of using violence to force others into their system - which is something central to states.
It all depends on your definition of communism and state etc., but the Zapatistas seem to be quite successful with a grassroots approach.
People will have to be vigilant. But they have to be now as well - having a state does not provide safety against the rise of fascism or global corporations trashing our planet, as we can see.
That is of course something people must (re-)learn through practice. We can’t just “abolish the state” and expect people to suddenly have all the skills needed for self-organizing.
There are different ideas how (and if) this could work. E.g. worker’s councils that form at a factory level (or similar - people who are working closely together), and then you might have higher levels of cooperation where e.g. all roadworking collectives in a region send delegates to coordinate who builds which road, what roads are even necessary etc. You’d probably want cooperation in another dimension as well: delegates of road working collectives coordinating with teamsters, urban planners, manufactureres of building materials, … But it would be networks of networks, not a top-down structure responsible for everything from kindergartens to space exploration and equipped with military and police power.
You might want to check out The Disposessed by Ursula K. LeGuin or bolo’bolo by P.M. for some more ideas.
constantly rewrite both the code and tests as you better understand how you’re going to solve the task while trying
The tests should be decoupled from the “how” though. It’s obviously not possible to completely decouple them, but if you’re “constantly” rewriting, something is going wrong.
Brilliant talk on that topic (with slight audio problems): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM

The “missions” by GeoWizard where he attempts to cross countries in a straight line. I really like his narration, it’s very relaxing (even though his attempts to get away from farmers etc. of course deliver more suspense than the average Marvel movie).
For example The Mission across Wales
No, they’re not. Antisemites hiding behind “we’re just criticizing Israel” does not mean everyone criticizing Israel is an antisemite.
I also doubt that a statement made by a jew can’t be antisemitic just because it was made by a jew. That’s like saying a statement can’t be misogynistic because it was made by a woman.
What do you mean by “thousands of different sources”? Afaik the hotkeys for e.g. the desktop environment are managed by KDE (or whatever you’re using). When I wanted to stop Windows from inserting “µ” whenever I pressed “Ctrl+M” I had to do some serious AHK trickery.
The fact that Windows needs an external program (with administrator access?) to remap hotkeys is completely bizarre to me.
IMO the problem for developers is that they have to provide general solutions, so they have to cover each case all the time instead of just a singular case at a time.
