"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

"Cushion" This image appears to bulge out, though it consists of squares and rectangles aligned vertically or horizontally.

The crates.​io team was notified of two malicious crates (with similar names as legitimate crates) which were actively searching file contents for Etherum private keys, Solana private keys, and arbitrary byte arrays for exfiltration. See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/24/c...

when people bring up left-pad as a reason that the JavaScript ecosystem is awful, I feel obligated to explain to them the size of the ecosystem. JavaScript should be looked at as a canary in the coal mine for other package ecosystems. Our package ecosystem problems *will* become yours.

Nothing hits quite like the texture and blinding juxtaposition of the real lighting used in cel animation for highlights, shimmers, and holographic effects. I deeply miss this about older anime, and I haven't seen any newer shows do a good job at replicating other than Mob Psycho.

it's "funny" how a macbook is the only laptop that works correctly for things like "you can pull it out of the bag after a couple days and it has about the same amount of battery charge left"

We spent a great deal of effort physically calibrating every diagetic light in the movie (including the sun and sky). The image of the stretching cat that went viral when previews landed looked so good because we'd figured out that the OG SDR Pixar Sun was an order of magnitude too dim

I worked on getting Toy Story 4 working with HDR. After an hour or so of our first HDR review on the image mastering dept's high contrast laser projector, we switched it back to SDR "wait, is this the right footage? it looks broken"

I mostly avoided the physically based rendering stuff once it started growing in popularity, because I was always drawn to stylized art styles but now that I've done a freelance gig with some PBR/HDR stuff, I am both 1. intrigued 2. horrified/amazed that classic/LDR rendering even works

game idea: Factory of Doom a factorio/satisfactory style construction game where you start with redstone-esque logic, go up to constructing gates, then make gates into adders and memory and logic, and you beat the game when you combine all this to make a computer that runs Doom

reading about geometric algebra: you're telling me these vectors are bi?

Do any of the Rust folks out there know of any Rust issues for "async fns increase *code size* nonlinearly"? github.com/rust-lang/ru... is an example for *memory usage*, but I have some (embedded) customers that are seeing things like reducing a few await points can shave off *kilobytes* of code sz

The thing is that "ignore all previous instructions" is actually really good advice for a human

what's a bit of obscure rust/rustup/cargo/crates.io lore that you know?

We're keeping the sea monster theme going from Friday, with Charix, the Raging Isle. This Leviathan Crab is the EDHREC Commander of the Day, leading 2,938 decks, ranked 658. It holds the record for the biggest butt in the sea. #EDH #Commander #EDHREC #CMDR

Imposter syndrome implies the existence of crewmate syndrome, where you try to do your little tasks without being eaten

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

a simple wish

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

That's what graphics programming debugging looks like

Welcome to the UX nightmare of getting hydrated

first impressions on macos & ios 26: + the tinted icon & widget style is really cool, adds uniformity + it is especially great on macos as it follows the selected theme color - on ios, it's difficult to get it to match as the colors are sliders only - huge padding and rounding radius on everything

Bruh

Can't believe I missed this. Hell yeah. Correct behavior > jj undo is now sequential: invoking it multiple times in sequence repeatedly undoes actions in the operation log. Previously, jj undo would only undo the most recent operation in the operation log. github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re...

iptables? you should see a doctor about that

Can we have Bandcamp for books, please?

Game physics people: is it a thing that the various algorithms can give you either a distance (which may be petentration distance) or a boolean for separation, but not both? Is this some fundamental uncertainty?

why is it called AI generated and not slop-motion animation

you know, for people that are literally paid to think, programmers are kind of bad at it

The Awful Effects of Velocipeding ca. 1890s

Here's how you can speed up your game releases without using AI: - make task lists - learn to prioritise - descope - build discipline habits - remove distractions - take breaks - sleep better for more brainpower - improve your health - take medication (if applicable) - get a faster PC + more

Anyone here into keyboards?

I feel there can be no canon of games that doesn't *at the very least* include tiny Finnish demoscene games, Polystation and Gameboy hacks from the Middle East and LATAM, half-translated hacked ROMs from South Europe, mobile games from Africa, and the entire corpus of mini-iterative RPGs from Asia.

“c gets you close to the machine” is the kind of sentence that lands very differently after working in a factory you’re not supposed to be close to the machine! that’s where the finger munchers are!

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/science/phys... #optics #physics
