Got a moment to play Point Galaxy—the newest entry in Flatout Games’ Point games (Point Salad, Point City, and now Point Galaxy)—a couple of nights ago. Quite fun. A bit more complex than Point Salad, but we picked it up fine after a few turns. Can recommend. Cc: @dhinojosa.bsky.social

Turns out that LLM code generation has produced a statistical proof for the technical practices of eXtreme Programming. If we treat "A.I." code generation and meat-based code generation as inference functions, these practices serve the same purpose - minimising entropy.

What if your Quarkus app could update user permissions instantly, no redeploys, no downtime?

We’ve got armored personnel carriers roaming the streets of DC, “investigations” of political enemies, masked secret police brutalizing immigrants and U.S. citizens, SCOTUS rubber-stamping unconstitutional orders, GOP reps gerrymandering at the president’s order. America is an authoritarian state.

Emus communicate with each other using a low rumbling sound. When they hear thunder, they talk back to it, thinking it's a big emu in the sky
