Booster separation confirmed

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

#FreeCAD 1.1 is out! Transparent Part Design previews and draggers, Assembly and FEM animations, Sketcher Projection & Intersection, 3-point lighting and more! Notes: wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_1.1 Get it: freecad.org/downloads Support the project: wiki.freecad.org/Donate youtu.be/a9biWv_M8p8

Went from knowing nothing about NixOS to contributing to it in 20 days! I don't know of many other Linux distros that'd allow that. Feels really reminiscent of Bevy's approach to FOSS: make the average user capable of contributing on onboarding, then provide a shallow on-ramp.

Over the last three weekends, my father and I built what I call the ultimate board game shelf. I designed it in #FreeCAD and tried out the new assembly workbench in 1.0 (it's sadly not quite there yet, let's see if 1.1 fixes the issues) Now my collection has space to grow :)

Golang: we have MISU at home. MISU at home: Make Invalid States Unavoidable

This argument never made sense to me. If someone is willing to wait several years for a PC version of a Sony game, they would never buy a PS5 in the first place. I certainly won't, but got several Sony games on Steam Most will just wait until emulation is good and pirate the game or not play at all

My mom just dropped by to give me the possibly best birthday cake @haskell.org 😅

GitHub continues to be broken. Now they apparently removed the button to edit the PR title?

Again, more vibecoding on Github, my future projects are all going to codeberg.org

Just found out that a website written in Haskell that I deployed and forgot about over *7 years ago* went down this week, not because it crashed, but because the logs were so long that the server ran out of disk space 🙈 Another tally in the column of "Haskell just works"

Bevy 0.18 is out now! It features Atmosphere Occlusion and PBR Shading, Generalized Atmospheric Scattering Media, Solari features, PBR Fixes, Font Variations, Automatic Directional Navigation, Fullscreen Materials, Cargo Feature Collections, Camera Controllers, and more! bevy.org/news/bevy-0-...

Pilgrims and Wanderers. #hollowknight #silksong #BRart

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

I absolutely loved the old Kotor games, let's see if they can make a decent new one

I have to give my university-issued Laptop back soon, so I am reviving my old personal Laptop that did not see any use in the last three years. The whole process was: 1. Log into Wi-Fi 2. cd nix-config 3. git pull 4. nixos-rebuild switch --flake . God I love #NixOS

Don't you love seeing vibe coding out in the wild?

Probably the stupidest way to approach advent of code day 1 in #Haskell, but I just love knot-tying too much

@fasterthanli.me planted the ghostty bug, so today I did finally switch. Yeah, it's nice 😅

spotify is guilttripping me over cancelling my subscription, are you kidding me stay classy corpo

Calling for the separation of Church numerals and application State.

#Haskell language server was just released and it includes my changes to the notes plugin. You can now use "find references" to see all the places that reference a given note

OH: if vaccines caused autism, we’d have way more trains in the United States

i saw someone point out that the selector for time on iphone alarms is actually just a really long list and not truly circular. everything i’ve known is a lie

Today is Bevy's fifth birthday! As always, I've used this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the next year of #bevy: bevy.org/news/bevys-f...

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Solving "UK Passport Application" with Haskell: jameshaydon.github.io/passport/

Prompted by Hécate (last year 😅) I finally wrote up a blog post on why you should use the `Generically` newtype instead of DefaultSignatures in @haskell.org jvanbruegge.github.io/blog/2025/pl...

A friend of mine upgraded his wireless Xbox 360 controllers with custom LiPo batter packs: chrz.de/2025/04/22/n...

GodDAMN this ruling against Apple in the Epic lawsuit is brutal. This is a judge who is outright furious at a company and it is not going well for them. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I... think I did it? Live fracture in Geometry Nodes. All existing solutions I could find were permanent one-way operations or slow/lossy voxel-based approaches. I won't share this because it's very specific to my needs, but I'll give a simple breakdown in the thread below. 👇🧵 #b3d

some more congestion pricing Ws: Broadway attendance: up 21% Restaurant reservations: up 7% Pedestrian traffic: up 4% Retail sales: up $900M Commercial leasing: up 61% Subway crime: down 37% Car crashes: down 50% Honking complaints: down 69%

Python is hard for all the wrong reasons. Want to run someone's code with deps? Well hopefully they setup an environment. Oh it's a notebook? Wtf, why? You want to deploy it? Like in production? With real users? Good luck... But writing it is super easy...

The Jetsons, an influential cartoon television series of the 1960s “Sputnik” era, imagined we’d all have flying cars and therefore live on the tops of towers. It was the perfect sprawl futurism, in which technology finally triumphs in its long struggle to make walking impossible.

Congestion Pricing is creating tremendous benefits. Subway Ridership: ⬆️ 13% Bus Ridership: ⬆️ 6% (⬆️ 21% weekends) Transit Crime: 🔻36% Fatal Car Crashes: 🔻44% Trip Times: 🔻10-30%

Currently listening to a concert of the fantastic Anna Lapwood in Dortmund. Absolutely love it

Been working on `no_std` support for the #bevy game engine. It might not look like much, but here's a Bevy game compiled for the GameBoy Advance running in an emulator on an Android phone! The next release (0.16) will include this support for everyone! #gamedev

Really happy to see that people like the hls-notes-plugin for #haskell language server. Notes are just such a nice way to document code.

As if millions of NIMBYs cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

So, today I finished the most difficult #factorio build I've ever done. It's an automated crafting system where you can set what items you want in your storage and the system will craft them including intermediate products (!!). More details and the blueprint are here: old.reddit.com/r/factorio/c...

Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power! #haskell

@staltz.com finally convinced me to sign up for bluesky 😅
