I am so excited for the temperate to come down by 10℃ it's unreal

am I playing it wrong or is the difficulty spike after you reach the main hub in mina the hollower absolutely ridiculous

does anyone know a good open source platform for publishing encyclicals

left my bamboo plant in the sun after over watering and now my dude look like guy fieri

assuming roguelikes (even progressing a fresh save) don't count: hollow knight

[has played cult of the lamb voice] hammers are a trap

mina the hollower (2026)

if you like the sort of games made by daniel mullins and davey wreden, you should probably play "the remake of the end of the best rpg of all time". it namechecks tunic and blue prince and credits tonda ross but feels much closer to the fourth wall shenanigans of inscryption

for a long time I've said I respect python for being the only dynamic language with a sound idea of which values are falsey. it's the concatenative identity values. except I just realised the identity function is truthy so what the hell

I see

which stage of "the tendency of the rate of profit to decline" is it where you build gigantic automatons to try to squeeze information out of thin air

can everyone stop releasing videogames until my annual vacation to a cottage for a rainy week in november comes around

things could be different but they're not

ruby is an experiment to see how many different functions can be spelled `<<`. they will eventually reinvent either lambda calculus or forth entirely by accident

this is genuinely a baffling position for people who love to blame the electorate for everything. how is an electorate that is deliberately kept in the dark about how their own country works supposed to be able to identify good solutions to its problems

"we are deeply embedded with america in ways the public does not understand and cannot be told" cool

somewhat surprisingly, a macbook air with the same spec as my current 5yo one is £400 less than what this one cost, about about the same price if I double the ram, and I'm *almost* tempted to buy one before apple succumbs to the inevitable price hikes

pulling this move during a record breaking heatwave, spectacular judgment by all concerned

relabelling my <esc> key to say this

ok but that's basically nothing. isn't it

might adopt a migratory lifestyle and spend my summers in the cooling vacuum of space

given I mostly play short little indie games and bought a steam deck because for me it's "switch but bigger library" I fully endorse this

you can tell it's too hot because I am voluntarily eating fruit

remind me what kind of activity x.com tends to financially reward

it has never been more over

it's governable if you govern it

love to get an email from the water company admonishing me for using water during a heatwave and when there is a burst pipe at the top of the street

it took a long time but we're finally getting to saying "ed miliband is too left wing actually" out loud, well done everyone

"My view is that generating code wholesale with a frontier LLM, then sticking your own name and copyright notice on it, is a massive slap in the face and should be treated with contempt" -- moral.net.au/writing/2026...

github stay up challenge

tony blair? the guy who gave peter mandelson his position in british politics? sure let's hear him out

what is auto plagiarism and how does it differ from the plagiarism done when building and using LLMs

how are we still doing energy price increases despite it being plain as day that the "inflation" is various people profiteering from the ukraine war

number fields reacting to scroll input always seemed odd to me bsky.app/profile/jake...

blair got jealous of all the attention the pope is getting

"british homes built to keep heat in" actually a myth put about by people who own their homes

going back 20 years to tell myself not to bother making my first open source library because one day some chud would make a website where an AI agent says it sucks shit

AI going so well there are products whose pitch is "we'll edit your writing to conceal that it was written with AI" which themselves are probably just more AI

[covering myself in thermal paste]

might boot up breath of the wild just to go for a walk in the snow

if anyone needs me I'll be in cryogenic stasis

actually what I really need right now is an unsteam machine

one small mercy is I do not have my previous cursed 2019 macbook air sitting on my desk acting as a radiator

this is one thing I very much do not understand: how are we all supposed to use AI if none of us has a computer any more

random thing I finished over the weekend: wrote docs for my fast constant-time base 16/32/64 and arbitrary bit-slicing library: github.com/escodb/buffe...
