in truth it is non-binary erasure. have you ever seen a compiler that did not output binary code? transpilers on the other hand are not straight-jacketed into this "binary output" requirement, they are more flexible and nuanced.

my favorite is when a project is cancelled. its like an old house that needs so much work being torn down. all the tech debt pushed into a future that never came.

i feel like moderation has some sort of theorem like the arrow impossibility theorem for voting. basically with some small set of reasonable assumptions it is actually impossible.

my indie sw company

i've had random ideas for sw products, but all half-baked and not actually released.

"sound control" involved controlling time, so games could slow/stop time in music. i got it working in godot but godot has no marketplace (does it?) so shelved it.
