Actually crazy how sexually repressed the world is getting.

Elsevier forces academics to sign over the rights to their intellectual property in order to profit from them indefinitely, while providing no services of value. They are, sincerely, one of the reasons I hate copyright in all its forms

it seems like the new equilibrium with dependencies is: * automated security scanners analyze new versions of deps within minutes * everyone else uses cooldowns the automated scanner folks get marketing when they find compromised deps, and everyone else benefits from their work is this right?

This is a very common point of confusion. The vast majority of the way corporations harm the environment is by responding to consumer demand. People have built this fantasy world where the American middle class isn't at all responsible for the gas they buy or the water they use on their lawns.

Almost identical dynamics for non-profits!

Charting is astrology for business majors

Migration to #bevyengine 0.18 done! 🐿️ 🐬 ..luckily less work than expected #rustlang #gamedev

I hate this so much. Alberta is working on provincial legislation to ban and/or remove bike lanes. Like Doug Ford in Ontario.

Oh also "the tragedy of the commons" also comes from this paper. So y'know 🙃

Next time you say the inanity "there are no technical solutions to social problems", look up who popularized that saying and in what context

this demo from flipbook.page is pretty impressive! if you could get this immersive while researching a topic, I think the experience would be really good. Imagine if you could browse wikipedia like this?

A limerick. Based on a true story.

Like many of you, I'm itching to get my hands on Bevy 0.19, "the one with bsn!". Because I merged 20 PRs yesterday in preparation for that, this week's #bevymergetrain is a little different: 0.19 milestone review! Follow along at gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...

rant that seemed to belong here

Give a person a game engine and they'll eventually deliver a game. Teach them to make a game engine and they'll never deliver anything ever again

Malthusian economics was correct right up until the decade it was written down.

"the singularity is real and it happened two hundred years ago" is really a key thing to understanding how i think about the world

one of the key issues with open source software is that so much of it is only accessible to software developers

There's a lot of nuance here: - conventional agriculture is wasteful and harmful, often for no good reason - regenerative agriculture and permaculture have good ideas to steal, and are great fun as a hobby - yields for organic ag, especially new plots at tiny scales are "mass starvation" level bad

The Haber Process works anywhere in the world, and is much cheaper than using organic fertilizer, even taking into account the cost of a hypothetical where we have to make it here. Also, whether fertillizer is organic or not does not change whether it produces nitrate runoff--b/c IT IS NITRATES.

there is only one correct way to redesign GitHub and this is it

Chinese researchers have created a bamboo-based plastic as strong as petroleum-based plastics, which can fully biodegrade in soil in just 2 months phys.org/news/2025-10...

Giving @tangled.org a serious try this weekend. Threading my impressions as I go 🧵.

Convex shapes (specifically polyhedra) come up constantly in games and graphics. A few useful properties: - A convex polyhedron is the convex hull of its vertices. - One can also be defined as the intersection of half-spaces defined by a set of planes (one per face). 1/

The buyer's incentive is to purchase a solution, not to verify that the solution works, because the purchase itself is the deliverable that satisfies their principal. The sellers incentive is to Deliver A Product. The students are externalities

Being a professional “no” and “not like that” person is one of the hardest aspects of the job for me. A completely necessary one, but it is hard to not feel like a curmudgeon.

we’ve all been to this talk

Literally half of @cart.work's job.

I finally started writing my Palia article today and holy shit it makes me so angry because they obviously a) recognized the potential of the equestrian audience b) added traits and breeding specifically for that audience and c) paid lip service to what that audience wants in their marketing BUT

Copy Fail? Also looks like memory safety, but is actually complexity. xint.io/blog/copy-fa... I am going to link to this while rejecting changes to Go crypto for years. Anyway, feeling pretty validated in my "ssh in as root, only gVisor or Firecracker are an actual security boundary" approach.

Uh oh

If you're leaving GitHub, we'd be very happy to chat! We work remotely, pay top-end of European salaries and are hell bent on building the best code forge ever. We're hiring for one intermediate/senior role right now: jobs.tangled.org/software-eng.... Go, Firecracker, distributed systems.

I spent the last 2 months trying to prevent this. If OpenAI offered a fig leaf, Google said "imagine we offered a fig leaf." Google affirms it can't veto usage, commits to modify safety filters at government request, & aspirational language with no legal restrictions. Shameful.

PEOPLE DO THIS TOO This is why as a manager you don't want to micromanage or bully your reports because it will put them into a similar helpless basin. People work backwards from how you treat them to justify the way they are being treated

the closer we get to being able to essentially provide someone an IRL character creator, the better, imo

Every week, I go through Bevy's PRs, looking for PRs that are approved by at least two people: *any* two people. Overwhelmingly, we've found that the community does a great job with it! This weekly #bevymergetrain closes the loop, as I sign-off on and merge them! gist.github.com/alice-i-ceci...

📌 starting a perma-pinned AI critique thread where I stash real critiques 9GW of gas power is *insanely bad* On-grid DCs benefit from solar/wind. Unfortunately, grid interconnect fees are based on *max* instant power. So this complex goes behind the grid. And needs baseload.

touching grass is too easy and non-specific… you need to be digging holes in the earth, planting shit, letting moths crawl over your body at night, accidentally smashing fresh eggs u collected and getting yolk all over your clothes and having to strip half naked in the yard
