societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire

I do think it's fucked up and irresponsible that we're putting Microsoft Outlook in space though. What if we get a Contact (1997) situation where the aliens assume that as a culture we endorse and approve of the idea of email because it's what they saw us do first

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago. Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

Pythagoras invented triangles as an abstraction while writing his own 3D game engine

There's a Samsung phone ad where people take a photo of themselves at a night party, then add their dog and make the night into day. Why even take that photo? What is the point of recording your fake life?

The main reason Lisp had all this parenthesis is because at the time computers couldn’t support footnotes

New links: CSS CPU, software is political, calendar bug, Wasm restrospective, fullsource NixOS bootstrap, phantom obligation, time tracking, Git in Postgres, optimal Caverna gameplay, window positioning protocol for Wayland archiloque.net/weekly/26-03...

window positioning coming to Wayland, you love to see it this is a blocker for WINE being really usable on Wayland without using XWayland (and it's a hard blocker for loss32 because the taskbar needs to be at the bottom of the screen!) gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayl...

I wonder if the LLM prompts used by Pete Hegseth to decide to start the war today will ever be published

Thinking of all the time spent to give various tools the ability to snapshot webpages, then thanks to LLMs more and more of these snapshots are an anime girl trying to be sure you're not a bot

FOSS Nerds: We are announcing today an exciting project, the Hurtsume Nexus, an AGPL fork of the closed source Torment Nexus

Thinking back about how Factorio fried some software people brain because they want teams to work like the game. They should try one of the mods where every building has a % of random products and the game is about dealing with these, because managing a team is much more like this.

Someone should make a SourceForge logo mixed with the GitHub one, for the very old people like me that have a déjà-vu feeling
