Everyone said: YES YES PLEASE MAKE BAD THING ILLEGAL, THAT WILL FIX EVERYTHING. The few who said it was maybe a bad idea were labeled [Hitler](hitler.md) -- bro, do you literally support hate? Don't you want to remove hate from the world? So shut up. And so this is how they can ban anything that has any negative connotation, i.e. in the [future](future.md) they will also ban all other negative emotions, such as sadness, anger, boredom and so on. If you're depressed you'll be committing the sadness crime, and this is how we solve depression. The whole world will be happy because it will be illegal to feel bad. Isn't it brilliant? Why haven't anyone invented this simple methods before? You just write on a piece of paper: "BAD THING = ILLEGAL" and it's solved, so you can literally remove cancer and wars like this too probably, you just say "bad thing disappear" and everything is solved. So people now think of the future in terms of banning everything, imposing more and more restrictions, surveillance, [censorship](censorship.md) and punishments in hopes of achieving more freedom, peace and happiness.

 People are already **punished for crimes they haven't committed yet** as was aptly predicted by dystopian sci-fi movies such as Minority Report. Despite trying to make it look like our society wants to wipe all [stereotypes](stereotype.md) off the Earth, crime predicting stereotypes are now built right into [law](law.md) itself: for example if you watch [child pornography](child_porn.md), you are automatically labeled a "future child rapist" and punished, even if you NEVER came close to hurting anyone and if you never would (for some reason though it is not assumed that any other kind of porn makes you a future rapist of whatever is the subject of the porn, it kind of doesn't make sense but people don't care anyway). Similarly there is now an extra tax on USB drives because it's assumed the drive will be used to [pirate](piracy.md) digital works, so when you're buying a hard drive, you are literally automatically committing the future crime of piracy and get a fine right away :D

 A bit of [history](history.md): overcomplicated and obfuscated technology has always been known to suck, however it seems like only with the arrival of personal computers it started to become a world wide [cancer](cancer.md) and absolutely serious threat to society. Some dictionaries date the first use of the word *bloatware* to the beginning of [1990s](90s.md), around the time when mainstreamization of computers began ([web](web.md), [Doom](doom.md), [Windows](windows.md), ...), specifically 1991 by *Business Week*. [Goolag](google.md) trends for terms *bloatware* and *software bloat* show an increased search frequency since the year 2010 (which [we](lrs.md) see more or less as the year when the downfall of society started) and peak around 2015. As for the term *bloat* itself it's hard to find the exact moment at which it started to be used in today's sense, the word *bloat* is a normal word and has likely been used in computer speech since the dawn of computer era, though originally (judging by some 1989 [usenet](usenet.md) posts) more for "files getting big", "email box getting clogged" etc., however by 2007 the suckless website already talks about *bloated* software as in "overly complex source code with bullshit features".

 Despite this there isn't any completely objective measure that would say "this software has exactly X % of bloat", bloat is something judged based on what we need/want, what tradeoffs we prefer etc. The answer to "how much bloat" there is depends on the answer to **"what really is bloat?"**. To answer this question most accurately we can't limit ourselves to simplifications such as [lines of code](loc.md) or number of package dependencies -- though these are very good estimates for most practical purposes, a more accurate insight is obtained by carefully asking what *burdens* and *difficulties* of ANY kind come with given technology, and also whether and how much of a necessary evil they are. Realize for example that if your software doesn't technically require package X to run or be compiled, package X may be [de facto](de_facto.md) required for your software to exist and work (e.g. a pure multiplayer game client won't have the server as a dependency, but it will be useless without a server, so de facto all bloat present in the server is now in a wider sense also the client's burden). So if you've found a program that's short and uses no libraries, you still have to check whether the language it is written in isn't bloated itself, whether the program relies on running on a complex platform that cannot be implemented without bloat, whether some highly complex piece of hardware (e.g. [GPU](gpu.md) or 8GB of [RAM](ram.md)) is required, whether it relies on some complex Internet service etc. You can probably best judge the amount of bloat most objectively by asking the following: if our current technology instantly disappeared, how hard would it be to make this piece of technology work again? This will inevitably lead you to investigating how hard it would be to implement all the dependencies etc.

@@ -79,8 +79,8 @@ The following is a list of just SOME attributes of capitalism -- note that not a
 - **[fear culture](fear_culture.md)**: To keep people consuming and constantly engaged a tension has to be kept, comfortable people are undesirable in capitalism. So there is constantly a propaganda of some threat, be it viruses, terrorism, pedophiles on the internet, computer viruses, killing bees etc.
 - **[consumerism](consumerism.md)**: To keep businesses running people need to consume everything, even things that shouldn't be consumed and that could last for very long such as computers and cars. This leads to creation of hasted low quality products (even art such as TV series) that are meant to be used and thrown away, repairing is no longer considered.
 - **commerce and conflict infect absolutely everything**: In advanced capitalism there is no such thing as a commerce free zone, everything is privatized eventually and serves selfish interests. There is **nowhere to hide**, capitalism has to work towards eliminating escape places as abused people will want to naturally retreat from a place of abuse somewhere safe. Nowadays even such areas as health care, welfare or [education](education.md) of children is permeated by money, ads and corporate propaganda. Even [nonprofits](nonprofit.md) have to make money. Educational videos in schools are preceded with [ads](marketing.md) (as they are played on [YouTube](youtube.md)), propagandists even legally go to school and brainwash little children (they call it "education in financial literacy" and teach children that they should e.g. create bank accounts in the propagandist's specific bank). **Everything becomes a form of capital** -- not just money, machines and private property, but also such things as *being a woman*, *living in some place*, *being disabled*, *having children* and so on. For example capitalism encourages girls to become anorexic as one can make good money on it: a girl that struggles with anorexia (and potentially recovers from it to create a "powerful motivating story") will be a hit on social media, securing an influencer job plus it's also easy to get money by uploading a few skeleton photos and setting up a fundraiser to get money for eating disorder treatment, basically going "give me money or I'll starve myself to death" -- yes, girls do this and it is a very successful way of making money and gaining popularity. These issues wouldn't have to exist but they're simply good for business. That's why fascist movements like [feminism](feminism.md) and [LGBT](lgbt.md) appear, prosper and bring conflict and destruction to basic interhuman relationships -- it is no longer possible to just get a girlfriend and marry her out of love; love is another form of business now and a woman won't give up her "woman" capital for nothing just like an entrepreneur won't give you his factory for free, just to make you happy.
-- **destruction of life environment**: This is nowadays already pretty clear, [global heating](global_warming.md) is attributed mainly to capitalism and is seen as maybe the most likely doom that's probably already unavoidable. Lack of long term planning and any concern for anything but money, along with consumerism and extreme waste (of energy, physical waste such as plastic, toxic chemicals etc.) lead to building bullshit factories and performing unnecessary activity for economic reasons (e.g. transporting materials over the globe for assembly, then transporting it back), leading to extreme pollution of air (visible air smog already makes it hard to breathe in many cities), water (it is no longer safe to drink rain water as it used to be) and food (microplastic particles are already basically EVERYWHERE, eating them can't be avoided). Forests that are necessary for cleaning air, host many precious life forms and are overall a key part of ecosystem are being destroyed rapidly, entire species are disappearing very quickly. To save the environment it's absolutely key to stop [consumerism](consumerism.md), something in direct conflict with capitalism -- how do you want people to stop having the urges to overly consume if every single minute of their lives they are bombarded with ads pressuring them to consume? And that's just a quick sum up.
-- **rule of idiots**: Under capitalism the incompetent become successful as success isn't a matter of competence at art but rather willingness to win for any cost, matter of persevering despite being untalented, succumbing to unethical behavior, investing into "promoting" oneself through marketing, social media etc. The truly skilled and intelligent often see the system is bullshit, they want to do their art rather than engage in fights, so they get depressed and disgusted and leave to live in the underground, they live only for their art but become McDonald's slaves, opening the way for the unskilled, stupid and at best average thirsty for success. That's why there are so many "professional" wedding photographers who know absolutely nothing about photography, so many elementary school drop outs who become celebrities on TikTok and YouTube who go on to advise the masses on who to vote for in the elections, so many shitty movies, music and games, so many "programmers" and "security experts" who can't do elementary school math etc.

 - **anti-people design**: By definition in capitalism technology is not to serve people, it is to serve companies to make profit and abuse people, so technology spies on its users, refuses to work ([DRM](drm.md), ...) shows [ads](ad.md), forces children into purchases (predatory [games](game.md)), breaks on purpose so as to enforce a paid repair etc.
 - **[censorship](censorship.md)**: One kind of capitalist censorship is so called [intellectual property](intellectual_property.md) (allowing "ownership" of ideas, art etc.), but there are many more, e.g. so called [moderation](moderation.md) of social media which censors specific political views (deemed "politically incorrect" and hence "dangerous" for the advertising potential or brand of the platform) or sharing of certain facts (e.g. those revealing unethical practice of the platform itself, negative reviews of its products etc.). Privately owned media lawfully censor and manipulate information so as to manipulate people in whichever way they see will bring them most profit. While "intellectual property" is marketed as "protecting intellectual workers", in practice it serves corporations and states to do whatever they want, from political censorship, deception and implementing surveillance (justified by "anti[piracy](piracy.md)") to legal bullying and implementing artificial scarcity ("no, you can't grow this type of food on your field as the plant is patented; only we can grow it and you have to buy it from us in order to live").

Why, when we would hardly accept for example a court judge or sports referee having even a slight conflict of interests, do we accept the fact that our whole society is almost 100% controlled by entities with such an enormous [conflict of interests](antivirus_paradox.md) with having a society that's good for the people to live in? Why do riots start when it's found a football referee might have made a biased judgment during a game of kicking an inflated ball, but we see practically no opposition to the fact that an entity responsible for our health and literal lives of our families has DIRECT interest in people being sick, that those making software our lives depend on have direct interest in programming it so that it [intentionally breaks](artificial_obsolescence.md), that those ensuring people be fed have direct interest in food being expensive and people NOT being able to make their own food?

For example when programming a [monte carlo](monte_carlo.md) [chess](chess.md) engine -- the code may be perfect, it's doing exactly what you want it to do, but the engine is making wrong moves because you actually want the wrong thing; debuggers won't help you, you cannot point a finger at a specific line in the code, you have to think deeply about statistics, sampling, probabilities and things that many times betray intuition, your brain starts to emit smoke and only then you realize you actually chose a wrong mathematical model and have to rewrite the whole thing.

+A common issue connected to ideologies/philosophies/religions/etc., or perhaps a sort of challenge for their followers, has shown to be striking the right balance between moderacy and extremism. The two stances might be summarized as such:
 
-- **extremism**: Being extreme in applying the ideas and principles, holding to one's ideals extremely strongly, many times resulting in blind orthodoxy, [shortcut thinking](shortcut_thinking.md), blindly following rules and commandments such as "I must never do X", "X implies Y" etc. Extremism is not bad per se, in fact it is many times preferred, advised and necessary, however one has to be aware of the dangers. It may lead to becoming a brainwashed religion follower whose pursuit of perfectionism and purism result in more bad than good.
-- **moderacy**: Being moderate, holding to ideals only loosely, sometimes leading to pragmatism, "ends justify the means", hypocrisy, conveniently modifying rules on the go etc. Moderacy is also not bad as such, but also comes with many dangers. It may lead to becoming an immoral self-centered sheep conformist and even practically abandoning one's ideals, giving up ([everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md), "Yeah I don't really like capitalism, but that's how it is so I'll just play along for now."), lying to oneself ("I do so much good by setting an Ukrainian flag as my facebook profile picture!").

+- **moderacy**: Being moderate, considering one's ideology just a set of "recommendations" to which one sticks only loosely, sometimes leading to pragmatism, "ends justify the means", hypocrisy, convenient modification of rules on the go etc. Moderacy is not an evil in itself either, but also poses dangers to be aware of. It may lead to becoming an immoral self-centered sheep conformist and even practically abandoning one's ideals, giving in to moral resignation ([everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md), "Yeah I don't really like capitalism, but that's how it is so I'll just play along for now."), lying to oneself ("I do so much good by setting an Ukrainian flag as my facebook profile picture!").
 
-**Where does the balance lie?** TBH this is a very hard question and we don't know the correct answer so far, perhaps there is no simple answer. Figuring this out may be one of the most difficult parts of our philosophy. The first good step is definitely to realize the issue, become aware of it, and start considering it in making one's important decisions. Choosing one or another should, as always, be done by ultimately aiming for our ideals, not for one's own benefit, though of course as any mere living being one will never be able to be completely objective and free himself from things such as fear and self-preservation instincts. If you make a bad decision, don't bash yourself, you are just mere mortal, acknowledge your mistake, forgive yourself and move on, there is no use in torturing yourself. One should perhaps not try to stick to either extremism and moderacy as a rule, but rather try to apply a differently balanced mix of both to any important decision that appears before him -- when unsure about the balance, a middle way between is probably safest, but when you strongly feel one way is morally more right, go for it.

It's an immensely important discipline for [programming](programming.md) and [computer science](compsci.md). Mathematics is possibly intellectually the most difficult field to study in depth, meant only for the smartest; the difficulty, as some mathematicians point out, comes especially from the exceptionally deep [abstraction](abstraction.md) (pure mathematics often examines subjects with no obvious connection to reality and only exist as a quirk of logic itself). It is said that mathematics is the only **universal [language](language.md)** in our [universe](universe.md) -- if we were ever to establish contact with an intelligent alien civilization, we'd likely use mathematics for communication. While most people only ever learn basic algebra and some other mechanical operations that are necessary for mathematics, true mathematics is not about blind calculation, it is a creative discipline and [art](art.md) of constructing [proofs](proof.md) from basic [axioms](axiom.md), sometimes so difficult that a solution demands many lifetimes of the brightest minds.

 In [programming](programming.md) *memory management* is (unsurprisingly) the act and various techniques of managing the working [memory](memory.md) ([RAM](ram.md)) of a computer, i.e. for example dividing the total physically available memory among multiple memory users such as operating system processes and assuring they don't illegally access each other's part of memory. The scope of the term may differ depending on context, but tasks falling under memory management may include e.g. memory [allocation](allocation.md) (finding and assigning blocks of free memory) and deallocation (freeing such blocks), ensuring [memory safety](memory_safety.md), organizing blocks of memory and [optimizing](optimization.md) memory access (e.g. with [caches](cache.md) or data reorganization), [memory virtualization](virtual_memory.md) and related tasks such as address translation, handling out-of-memory [exceptions](exception.md) etc.
 
-Memory management can be handled at different levels: hardware units such as the [MMU](mmu.md) and CPU [caches](cache.md) exist to perform certain time-critical memory-related tasks (such as address translation) quickly, [operating system](os.md) may help with memory management (e.g. implement virtual memory and offer [syscalls](syscall.md) for dynamic allocation and deallocation of memory), a [programming language](programming_language.md) may do some automatic memory management (e.g. [garbage collection](garbage_collection.md) or handling call stack) and programmer himself may do his own memory management (e.g. deciding between static and dynamic allocation or choosing the size of dynamic allocation chunk).

 **Why all this fuss?** As a newbie programmer who only works with simple variables and high level languages like [Python](python.md) that do everything for you you don't need to do much memory management yourself, but when working with data whose size may wildly differ and is not known in advance (e.g. files), someone has to handle e.g. the possibility of the data on disk not being able to fit to RAM currently allocated for your program, or -- if the data fits -- there may not be a big enough continuous chunk of memory for it. If we don't know how much memory a process will need, how much memory do we give it (too little and it may not be enough, too much and there will not be enough memory for others)? Someone has to prevent [memory leaks](memory_leak.md) so that your computer doesn't run out of memory due to [bugs](bug.md) in programs. With many [processes](process.md) running [simultaneously](multitasking.md) on a computer someone has to keep track of which process uses which part of memory and ensure [collisions](collision.md) (one process overwriting another processe's memory) don't happen, and someone needs to make sure that if bad things happen (such as process trying to write to a memory that doesn't belong to it), they don't have catastrophic consequences like [crashing](crash.md) or exploding the system.

There is no automatic [garbage collection](garbage_collection.md), i.e. if you allocate memory dynamically, YOU need to keep track of it and manually free it once you're done using it, or you'll end up with [memory leak](memory_leak.md).

 For start let's see which kinds of allocation (and their associated parts of memory) there are in C:
 
-- **static allocation (code/data memory)**: Simplest kind of allocation happening at compile time: if the compiler can do so (i.e. if it knows enough things such as the size of the data in advance), it allocates space of concrete size at some specific address in the part of memory reserved for code or static data (code and data may be in the same or separate parts depending on platform, see e.g. [Harvard architecture](harvard.md)) -- this is straightforward, simple, automatic and poses no real dangers, bloat or burden of dependencies.

 Firstly a foreword of warning: stuff about how to plan projects, lead them, get people "motivated" and so on is a huge, huge milking cow of "[productivity](productivity_cult.md)" writers and capitalists, to a large degree this is a bullshit topic growing alongside gigantic capitalist [bullshit](bullshit.md) projects and entrepreneurship religions. Never fall into this trap, never let concerns about how to make art take too much of the time that should actually be spent on making the art itself. With this said, we may offer some useful word of advice.
 
-Also let it be said that everyone has to find his own way of doing projects, it's just like with learning for example: everyone has his own ways, what works for one may not work for another. The advice here will come firstly from the author's ([drummyfish](drummyfish.md)) personal experience and secondly from general [LRS](lrs.md) principles.

 - **As always, keep everything [free](free_software.md), [LRS](lrs.md), well designed, non-commercial etcetc.** Minimize [dependencies](dependency.md); dependencies of your project are for example the [programming language](programming_language.md) you use, libraries for formats that you use, assets of third parties you use, minimum hardware demands of a computer that can handle the project etc. Make it tool-agnostic -- your programming project mustn't be a project for your programming IDE, your book shouldn't be directly written in LaTeX (rather write it Markdown which will enable you to compile to LaTeX as one of many target formats), your song mustn't be a project for your DAW etc. Just a reminder. Also think with your brain.
 - **Prefer one man projects to many men projects**: Firstly LRS projects should be simple enough to be manageable by a single man, which has many advantages, for example ensuring a coherent artistic vision without any compromise, legal simplicity (e.g. with relicensing), ensuring that the project can REALLY be controlled by a single man (true [freedom](free_software.md)), and also very importantly the cost of collaboration. Multiple people on a project -- even just two -- introduce many inconveniences, issues and [friction](friction.md), e.g. that of communication (every thought has to be explained, put into words for others and they still may not completely get it, communication tools will have to be set up and maintained, ...), resolving editing conflicts (multiple people working on the same thing at once), making decisions (voting? discussions?), disagreements, arguments, "codes of conducts" and similar bullcrap. LRS does value collaboration, but mainly loose collaboration, i.e. making bigger things out of smaller things that are made by single people. But more people projects are cool, e.g. wikis or maybe projects by very close people who are already used to working together efficiently.

 - **Do everything yourself and keep switching tasks**. This is similar to the other point about having multiple projects, just within a single project. Be your own programmer, graphic designer, musician, tester, writer and so on -- at least as much as possible. This not only helps you become a cool generalist, an independent, non-capitalist living being, but also prevents burn out from doing the same activity over and over.
 - **Publish everything immediately**, don't wait until the project is "polished", this NEVER, never ends well. Really just have everything public at all times, keep no secrets, make it public even if it's buggy, shit, cringe, dangerous or whatever. This doesn't mean "go promote your buggy unfinished game", but simply "have your work-in-progress git repo public". This is not capitalism in which you work in secrecy and then "ship" a "product". Just make art and let anyone watch you, give you "feedback", advice and so on, get rid of shame, don't let others waste time on making what you're already making, don't let perfectionism paralyze you so that you'd never release your art. On the other hand, however, **leave the "official release" part for the very end** -- i.e. have the project public, but don't go actively showing it to people, don't waste time on adding it to repositories, making websites and similar stuff. Firstly this leaves you a kind of "reward" at the end, something you get for FINISHING the project. If you show a 50% finished game to the Internet and get a praise, you've gotten your treat ahead of time, you will no longer want to pursue finishing the thing. Secondly you may very likely abandon the project (and more so due to what's just been stated), leaving just a spam of unfinished half-baked ideas behind. Take a look a libregamewiki, vast majority of games are "50% finished" prototypes of no value to anyone.
 - **If you ARE ambitious, separate it into multiple less ambitious projects**. Firstly this is just a [good design](unix_philosophy.md), you shouldn't be making a magnificent monolithic program but rather multiple smaller ones out of which it is easy to make the big thing. This achieves multiple positives: you'll have several parallel projects as advised above and also if you don't finish the grandiose piece, you'll still probably finish at least the smaller independent parts that will likely be useful on their own. The best thing is you're not making any compromise, you're not giving up on your dream of the big project, just not putting all eggs in one basket. So if you truly desire making that [GTA](gta.md) clone (and have at least 20 years of experience so that you can even think about it), rather make several projects such as a [3D renderer](3d_rendering.md), [physics engine](physics_engine.md), a pack of car [3D models](3d_model.md) etc. When all of the projects are ready, you may try to merge them into the magnum opus.
-- **Before going ambitious, prepare to get sick to your bones**. No matter how much you love and enjoy your craft, pushing it to limits will make you sick of it near the finish line, just like a marathon runner always does in pushing his personal record. Take this into account and plan for it, leave pleasant things for latest stages, don't take additional burdens, plan to take a long break after.

Take this into account and plan for it, leave pleasant tasks for latest stages, don't take additional burdens, plan to take a long break after.
 - **"It would be cool" is not a good enough motivation for a bigger project.** You can't start a big thing just out of boredom. Finishing a greater thing will be painful, you'll be through sleepless nights, periods of desperation, headaches and burn outs, you'll sacrifice social life to hunting down bugs and rewriting shitty code. To keep yourself going through this it's not enough to know that "the result will be nice I guess". It needs more -- you must absolutely feel it is necessary to make the thing, you have to think the world NEEDs you to make it, only then you will keep torturing yourself to make it to the finish. So choose very wisely.
 - **Before making a big thing of type X make a small thing of type X** or as it's been said "plan to throw one away". This is to say that you can't make a good game if it's the first game you're making, so you better make your first game small knowing that it ill suck rather than making a big game that would suck. The first thing is just for the experience. You can't prepare yourself for making an operating system just by reading a book, you have to make one to REALLY comprehend what it will be about, to see the whole picture and to properly plan it.
 - **Don't spontaneously start projects, don't rush, only start well thought through things.** As a creative being you'll be getting hundreds and hundreds of amazing ideas -- don't think you're a genius, this is common for many people, even normies get many ideas for great games and "apps" and whatever, so don't get too excited, it is important you judge carefully what to do and what to leave for later: planning and actually MAKING the thing is the actual part that will distinguish you from the normie. Write your amazing ideas down if you need, but don't jump in on any new great idea that appears, always let any idea sit for at least half a year, maybe even several years. It is very tempting to start new things but you must have self control, or else you'll end up like the [dog](dog.md) that starts chasing any new smell it catches and will be just chaotically running around without any goal, making unplanned projects that will fail every time. If an idea should deserve your valuable time, it has to pass the great filter of time -- if it survives in your head after a few months, in all the avalanche of new and new ideas, you know it may truly be worth trying. Furthermore you also have to have a good plan for any project you start and this planning requires a lot of thinking ahead -- you should only start writing code once you have the whole project in your head. This planning CANNOT be rushed, you can't plan it over a weekend, this is not [capitalism](capitalism.md) where things are made on schedule, this is [art](art.md) that needs its time, it must wait for inspiration, small improvements and rethinks over the time that it's sitting in your head. In this meantime stay with your already work in progress projects.
-- A simple psychological trick is this: **you can get a lot done on project *A* by "procrastinating" on project *B*.** It's the same cleaning your house in order to avoid doing homework. Having multiple projects helps in this, you're lazily avoiding one project by doing another. { This wiki is mostly the result of "procrastination" on my programming projects. ~drummyfish }

 - **Leave your session with something pleasant to be done next**: this will make you look forwards to come back to "work" on the project next time. If you're doing something painful, like being in a middle of [debugging](debugging.md) horror, try to finish it, and once there is something enjoyable next on the TODO, such as making game levels or playtesting, leave it for next time. In general **make it easy and pleasant for your future self to come back to the project**, i.e. don't leave in the middle of solving some complicated task -- rather finish it and leave with a choice of what to do next.
 - On very rare occasion inspiration comes and a masterpiece is born within an hour, but moments like these are as common as finding a gold nugget in mounds of dirt -- rare sparks of genius are a small reward to diligent artists, but cannot be relied on. Most of the time **great art is simply made by sitting on it for hours without end and pouring TONS of time, sweat and blood in**, trying and failing over and over, rewriting and refining, testing and rebuilding from scratch. Do not wait for the muses, they won't come, you are wasting time. You must rely only on your patience to make something worthy of appreciation -- go do it right now. Miraculous accidental discoveries do happen, but they always happen to those who keep exploring tirelessly, never to those who just wait for something to fall from the sky.
 - **Start small and humble (if it's meant to be big, it will become big naturally), focus on the thing you're making (not its promotion or "management").** Some nubs just see [Steve Jewbs](steve_jobs.md) or [Che Guevara](che_guevara.md) and think "I'LL BE A BIG PROJECT LEADER", they pick some shitty idea they don't even care too much about and then just start capitalisting, they buy a suit, coffee machine, web domains, set up a kickstarter, make a Jewtube video, Twitter account, logos, set up [promotional](marketing.md) websites, write manifestos and other shite. Yes, manifestos are cool, but only promise yourself to write it once the project is fucking done and worth something ;) Sometimes they hype a million people to jump on board, promising to make a HUGE, gigantically successful and revolutionary thing, while having 3 lines of code written so far. Congratulations, you now have nothing and the pressure of the whole world to make something big. This is the best way to hell. At BEST you will become a slave to the project, will hate it and somehow manage to make an ugly, rushed version of it because you didn't foresee what obstacles there would appear but which you would still have to solve fucking quickly because everything is falling on your head and people are shitting on you, angry that you're already two years late and you're already burned out and depressed and out of budget. Just don't be such a capitalist pussy, make a nice small thing in your basement and let its value show itself.
 - **Make it a habit/routine to do your project**. As with everything requiring a lot of time investment and dedication (exercise, language learning, ...), it's important to make it a routine (unless of course you're taking a break) to really do something significant. A small, spontaneous, irregular polish of your project is great too, but to really do the biggest part you just need a habit. People often say they're lazy and can't get into it -- everyone is lazy and everyone can get into it. Here is the trick: start with trivial things, just to get into the habit, i.e. at first it's literally enough to write 1 line of code every day. At the beginning you're not really doing much of any significant "work", you are just setting up your habit. Anyone can write 1 line of code per day: just tell yourself to do this -- write 1 line and then, if you want, you're done. You will find that second or third day you'll be writing 10 lines and in a week you will quite likely be looking forward to it, soon you'll have the other problem -- getting yourself to stop.
-- **Milestones and psychological mini rewards are nice to keep you going**. It's nice to split the project into some milestones so that you see your "progress", it's very good if each milestone adds something visible, something you can "touch" -- for example with a game just the moment when you become able to physically move through the level always feels very rewarding, even if you've done it many times before, it's always a bit surprising what joy a simple feature can bring. Exploit this to increase joy of making your art.
-- **Don't expect or aim for any reward other than the finished project**, don't expect/chase [money](money.md), fame, gratitude, don't expect that anyone will notice or thank you for the project. You are making it only because you want something that doesn't yet exist to exist and that's the only reward you can and should ever expect. Firstly this makes your project [selfless](selflessness.md), secondly it makes it pure, non-corruptable, only dedicated to its goal and nothing else, thirdly it spares you suffering from failed expectations.

 - **When you're hard stuck, go away from it for a (possibly long) while.** As they say before making decisions: "sleep on it" (maybe even many times) -- there's something about letting your mind rest for a while that makes your subconsciousness solve things, or at least make you comprehend the issue better, see it from a different angle. Therefore when stuck, go do something else -- this is also why it's preferable to have several projects, but generally it's good to just take a break and do something meditative like going for a walk, making something out of wood, doing some sport, sleeping, listening to music and so on. Stop trying to solve the issue you had and just relax for a few days, maybe weeks. It is quite possible inspiration will come from somewhere, fresh air will help you think and maybe a solution will occur to you during this time [spontaneously](zen.md), but even if it doesn't, when you come back to the project you'll be very fresh, rested, your thoughts will be sorted, unimportant stuff filtered out, it's like you've got a different man on the task who will help the desperate past self. Sometimes you get back and immediately spot a simple and elegant solution. Really, this works like [magic](magic.md).
 - **Stop talking to everyone.** If you want to do something, you have to quit all social media, destroy your cellphone, uninstall all chatting programs etc. During breaks you may turn them on again, but if you want to focus while there are people around, you won't do anything, it's too much of a distraction, even just their presence. Basically put yourself in a situation when you're stranded on a desert island and there is nothing else to do save for your project, otherwise you'll keep constantly talking to people or at least checking what they're talking about and that's going to constantly interrupt your thinking.
 - **Masturbate before doing something**, it not think as much about sex and concentrate better.
-- **How to plan something big? Where to start?** This is a hard question, answering it requires experience. In general you have to have the overall thing already finished in your head, even knowing it will likely turn out different. Then start with smaller parts that can exist on their own, such as [libraries](library.md), 3D models etc. As you go, connect the parts together and KEEP REVISING them. Take notes, always carry a notepad. Every once in a while go over the whole thing and [refactor](refactoring.md), rethink stuff, see if it still holds up. As soon as you spot a shortcoming, fix it immediately, as it will be much harder to fix a cog wheel that's already a part of a big machine. Leave [optimization](optimization.md) for the latest part. Don't be afraid to throw away bad parts, make them again from scratch. When stuck or unsure, ask others for advice, even if they don't understand much -- they may spark an idea that didn't even occur to you. Etcetc.

-**But isn't releasing a work into public domain dangerous?** Doesn't that just invite someone to take the work and claim it as his own? This is a pretty common question so let's take a look at it. Firstly know that **releasing a work into public domain DOES NOT give others the right to claim it as their work** -- it gives them the right to use that work in any way, even to make money (although it will be hard to make money solely by selling something that's already available for free), but someone claiming to have created a work he did not in fact create is simply [plagiarism](plagiarism.md), lying and false claim of copyright, which is not only unethical and will hurt the reputation of the individual if it's proven (which can easily be done, e.g. by showing you released the work earlier through Internet Archive etc.), but may even be punishable by law (even though plagiarism is usually not a crime in itself, it may be deemed for example a fraud). Yes, some people may still attempt to do it (just like people practice [piracy](piracy.md) despite it being illegal), but please note they can just as easily do this even if the work isn't public domain -- they can simply (though illegally) take it and claim it as their own even if you keep your copyright on it. The only "protection" against this is to simply never release the work publicly at all, i.e. the fact that you make your work public domain doesn't make it more easy to be plagiarized. From this point of view it' actually probably much more "dangerous" to for example publish the work anonymously (even if you keep "all rights reserved"), i.e. concealing your real identity when publishing the work (to which you may be pushed by the [privacy](privacy.md) hysteria of today's culture), as this will make it impossible for you to later on prove it was you who made it; if someone takes the work and starts milking it, you cannot sue him as you can't prove you hold copyright on it and he may claim it was him who originally published it anonymously (well, it actually further depends on each country how anonymously published works are treated, but in general it will be more messy and the fact you can't prove your authorship stays).

 { I remember myself how anxious I was about making the decision to release all my work into public domain, despite knowing it was the right thing to do and that I wanted to do it. I felt emotional about giving away rights to art I put so much love and energy into, fearing the evil vultures of the Internet would immediately "steal" it all as soon as I release it. I overcame the fear and now, many years later, I can say that not once have I regretted it, literally not a single case of abuse of my work happened (that I know of anyway), despite some of it becoming kind of popular. I only received love of many people who found my work useful, and even received donations from people. I've seen others put my work to use, improve it, I get mail from people thanking me for I've done.

 If you want to create a PD work, then generally in that work **you must not reuse any non-public domain work**. So, for example, you can NOT create a public domain fan fiction story about [Harry Potter](harry_potter.md) because Harry Potter and his universe is copyrighted (your fan fiction here would be so called [derivative work](derivative_work.md) or a copyrighted work). Similarly you can't just use randomly googled images in a game you created because the images are most likely copyrighted. Small and obscure exceptions (trivial bitmap fonts, freedom of panorama, ...) to this may exist in laws but it's never good to rely on such quirky laws (they may differ between countries etc.), it's best to keep it safe and simply avoid utilizing anything non-PD within your works. If you can, create everything yourself, that's the safest bet.

 Also **you must NOT use anything under [fair use](fair_use.md)**! Even though you could lawfully use someone else's copyrighted work under fair use, inclusion of such material would, by the fair use rules, limit what others would be able to do with your work, making it restricted and therefore not public domain. Example: you can probably write a noncommercial Harry Potter fan fiction and share it with friends on the internet because that's fair use, however this fan fiction can never be public domain because it can't e.g. be used commercially, that would no longer fall under fair use, i.e. there is a non-commercial-use-only restriction burdening your work. It doesn't even help if you get an explicit permission to use a copyrighted work in your work unless such permission grants all the right to everyone (not just your work). { I got a mascot removed from [SuperTuxKart](supertuxkart.md) by this argument, mere author's permission to use his work isn't enough to make it free as in freedom. ~drummyfish }

To name a few potential issues: AI may create a derivative work of something it has seen in its training dataset (which even if "open"-licensed still may contain material of non-free things that may be legal in the context of the dataset but not in the context of the generated result, e.g. "freedom of panorama"), the copyright status of AI works themselves is not as of yet clear and even once it's established, it may differ by country AND there is a danger of retroactive changes (once it becomes too easy to create PD works with AI capitalists can just push a law that will say AI can't be used for this because "[economy](crime_against_economy.md)" and yes, it may even be used retroactively, [yes, they can do it](yes_they_can.md), it already happened).

To name a few potential issues: AI may create a derivative work of something it has seen in its training dataset (which even if "open"-licensed still may contain material of non-free things that may be legal in the context of the dataset but not in the context of the generated result, e.g. "freedom of panorama"), the copyright status of AI works themselves is not as of yet clear and even once it's established, it may differ by country AND there is a danger of retroactive changes (once it becomes too easy to create PD works with AI capitalists can just push a law that will say AI can't be used for this because "[economy](crime_against_economy.md)" and yes, it may even be used retroactively, [yes, they can do it](yes_they_can.md), it already happened). Furthermore even if AI works are made legit, terms and condition of most usable AI software will still negate this (they already do, EVEN if you pay for it), it's not even clear if they can do this (or it may depend on territory and time) but it's a threat. Also AI is a soulless low quality crap, [bloat](bloat.md) and serves mostly [capitalists](capitalism.md) to shit out massive quantities of cheap shit for consumerist games, we just don't need this. You may think "haha I'll create one trillion PD textures and post them to Opengameart and save the world" -- that's literally what everyone is doing right now, it's the worst kind of spam that is now just killing the site, please don't even think of this. Create something small but nice, something whose legitimacy as your own work that you give away can not be questioned.
 
 So you can only use your own original creations and other public domain works within your PD work. Here you should highly prefer your own creations because that is legally the safest, no one can ever challenge your right to reuse your own creation, but there is a low but considerable chance that someone else's PD work isn't actually PD or will seize to be PD by some retroactive law change. So when it only takes a small effort to e.g. photograph your own textures for a game instead of using someone else's PD textures, choose to use your own.

 In the book *Free As In Freedom* it is also mentioned that **Stallman had aversion to passwords and secrecy in general** -- at MIT he used the username RMS with the same password so that other people could easily log in through his account and access [ARPANET](arpanet.md) (the predecessor of [Internet](internet.md)). Indeed, we applaud this, the "[security](security.md)" hysteria is killing the computing world.

Most other old time hackers, such as [Eric S. Ramyond](esr.md) and [Rob Pike](rob_pike.md), immediately abandoned all ideals of ethics and jumped the capitalist train with the first smell of [money](money.md), Stallman stayed opposed to it, and for this he holds our uttermost admiration. Even though in [our days](21st_century.md) his name is overshadowed by rich [businessman](entrepreneurs.md) and creators of commercially successful technology and even though we ourselves disagree with Stallman on some points, in the future [history](history.md) may well see Stallman as perhaps the greatest man of the software era, and rightfully so. Stallman isn't a mere creator of a commercially successful software product or a successful politician, he is an extremely morally strong philosopher, a great example to others, a prophet, someone who sees the truth and hands it to the people -- he brilliantly foresaw the course of events and quickly defined ethics needed for the new era of cheap programmable computers at the right time, before the hammer hit. And not only that, he also managed to coordinate efforts so as to establish this ethics as a standard IN SPITE of all the world's [corporations](corporation.md) [fighting](fight_culture.md) back, in a field that back then was relatively obscure, unpopular in the mainstream and hence not much supported by any mass media. He is also extremely unique in not pursuing personal self interest, in not succumbing to luxury, in TRULY living his own philosophy, dedicating his whole life to his cause and refusing to give in even partially. All of this is at much higher level than simply becoming successful and famous within the contemporary capitalist system, his life effort is pure, true and timeless, unlike things achieved by pieces of shit such as [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md).

 **Is Richard Stallman a celebrity?** To [us](lrs.md) the question is of importance because we oppose the existence of celebrity status in itself. The answer is likely this: to a certain degree he indeed is a small celebrity (though not nearly a Hollywood scale one, 99% of normal people never heard of him), but at least to a similar level he is just a well known expert in a very important, though obscure area of software ethics. So yes, we ought to dislike the celebrity part -- any worship of a man as god is acceptable only as subject of a [meme](meme.md), we must never see him as a [hero](hero_culture.md) or "leader". He seems to be a very rare case of a mini celebrity that managed to keep a sense of morality despite his fame, perhaps because he never aimed to become famous and his celebrity status, quite uncommonly, came to him rather accidentally, more because he wasn't careful enough to avoid it rather than because he would actively pursue it (which even in his time was rare, and [nowadays](21st_century.md) is probably impossible). This is not an excuse -- if someone resists hard enough, he can never become a celebrity -- but it may be an extenuating circumstance. This is to say: yes, it sucks he's partially a celebrity, but at least one of the least harmful ones.

See also [FPGA](fpga.md). There are cases where it may on occasion become difficult to drawn the line and distinguish hardware from software -- the issue was encountered for example by the [FSF](fsf.md) which certifies some hardware powered solely by free software as *Respects Your Freedom* ([RYF](ryf.md)): as part of the certification requirements they define what exactly they mean by "software".

 # Whale
 
-In online [pay to win](pay_to_win.md) [games](game.md) a whale is a player who spends enormous sums of money, much more than most of other players combined. They buy the most expensive items in the game stores daily, they highly engage in [microtheft](microtheft.md) and may throw even thousands of dollars at the game every day (cases of players spending over 1 million dollars on a casual game are known). In the playerbase there may exist just a handful of whale players but those are normally the main source of income for the game so that the developers actually focus almost exclusively on those few players, they craft the game to "catch the whales". The income from the rest of the players is negligible -- nevertheless the non-whales also play an important role, they are an attraction for the whales, they are there so that they can be owned by the whale players.

 Existence of whale players is one of the demonstrations of the [pareto principle](pareto.md) (80/20 rule): 80% of the game's income comes from 20% of the players, out of which, by extension, 80% again comes from the 20% and so on.

 Compared with Doom, Wolfenstein's code shows considerable [shittiness](shitty.md), for example in that the engine **isn't [deterministic](determinism.md)** and literally **uses [floating point](float.md)** (although it looks like float is only used to precompute tables and that actual real time logic then uses [fixed point](fixed_point.md) arithmetic, but still the [dependency](dependency.md) is there). Apparently there are slips and fails such as the pseudorandom number table not containing certain values, item pickups being part of rendering code (so items can't be picked up moving backwards), or a hardcoded FPS for demos due to the fact that with variable FPS the game isn't deterministic.
 
-Wolfenstein's **rendering** is arguably the most commonly examined part of the engine. It uses 1 dimensional [raycasting](raycasting.md) (see also [raycastlib](raycastlib.md)). Textured walls, sliding door and movable walls were implemented; floors and ceilings were not textured. It goes without saying everything was rendered [purely in software](sw_rendering.md), [GPUs](gpu.md) as known today didn't exist yet. The levels were represented as a 2 dimensional [array](array.md) of cells against which rays were cast from the player's position -- every screen column would have one ray cast per rendered frame. The ray was then traced with the [DDA](dda.md) line drawing [algorithm](algorithm.md) to find intersection with the closest wall. The intersection then determined how tall the wall would appear in the corresponding screen column (based on the [distance](distance.md) and perspective), as well as which part of the texture should be used for the column etc. Each wall texture had two versions: lighter and darker, each of which was used for different wall angles to create a primitive but [effective](good_enough.md) illusion of lighting. Level geometry was naturally limited by the square grid: only 90 degree walls could be placed, there weren't any stairs, walls of different heights etc.

 It seems the game is written in [C++](cpp.md) and in 2009 had something like 5.5 million [lines of code](loc.md) (see also [bloat](bloat.md)).
 
 There is a [FOSS](foss.md) implementation of WoW server called [MaNGOS](mangos.md) (now having some [forks](fork.md)) that's used to make private servers. The client is of course proprietary and if you dare make a popular server Blizzard (or whatever it's called now, it's probably merged with [Micro$oft](microfost.md) or something now) will just rape you.
 
-The classic WoW (mostly the vanilla but we can possibly extend this to the end of WOTLK) lied somewhere in the middle between good old and shitty [modern](modern.md) games, it had many great things like the iconic awesome [low poly](low_poly.md) hand painted stylized graphics, big open world, amazing PvP and PvE, but the modern poison was already creeping in. The WoW of today is of course 100% pure [shit](shit.md), it's [bloated](blot.md) beyond any imagination, the graphics is absolutely ruined (semi realistic style, everything looks like a cheap plastic toy, with the retarded shit like character outlines, it looks much worse and is also 10000x heavier on the GPU), it's extremely [censored](censorship.md) and [politically correct](political_correctness.md) (you can literally change gender of your character at barbershop lol, they did this out of fear of [LGBT](lgbt.md), they also removed the *spit* emote because it was "offensive" -- yes, a game that's all about [war](war.md) and killing and literally has war in its name must restrain you from hurting someone's feelings by spitting on the ground). You can also make any weapon or armor make look like any other weapon or armor ("transmog"), that just kills the whole point of an RPG, some players also see a different world than others ("phasing") and so on. Also basically every race can now be any class, even if it doesn't make any sense, like Tauren rogue (in the past this used to be a [joke](joke.md) but today jokes are made into reality) -- otherwise it would be [racism](racism.md) or something. A rat in level 80-90 area is 1000 times stronger than a bear in level 1-10 area, that's just fucked up. The game has about 1 billion expansions while the lore writers had already ran out of any ideas after like 5 of them, so they now just started to mess around with time travel and alternative timelines (resorting to time rape is always that desperate last resort move which signifies the work has been dead for a long time by then). The game is so bad Blizzard even started running official vanilla, no expansion servers ("classic WoW"), which is the only thing holding it above the water now. Of course before this they nuked all the popular unofficial private vanilla servers with legal threats so they could force a [monopoly](monopoly.md) -- this destroyed great many communities but Blizzard is a corporation so they could do anything they want.

 { For me the peak of Warcraft was [Warcraft III:TFT](warcraft.md), it was perfect in every way (except for being proprietary and bloated of course). As a great fan of Warcraft III, seeing WoW in screenshots my fantasy made it the best game possible to be created. When I actually got to playing it it was really good -- some of my best memories come from that time -- nevertheless I also remember being disappointed in many ways. Especially with limitation of freedom (soulbound items, forced grinding, effective linearity of leveling, GMs preventing hacking the game in fun ways etc.) and here and there a lack of polish (there were literally visible unfinished parts of the map, also visual transitions between zones too fast and ugly and the overall world design felt kind of bad), laziness and repetitiveness of the design. I knew how the game could be fixed, however I also knew it would never be fixed as it was in hands of a corporation that had other plans with it. That was the time I slowly started to see things not being ideal and the possibility of a great thing going to shit. ~drummyfish }
