So, how did Red Planet Labs' Rama turn out?

Scanning the names, I have registered one Steve Wozniak there, but no, it wasn't meant to be...

Now these morons are suggesting that @nomorerobots.io *forced* me to put represention in the game. Bitch I came up with the characters myself! And Noor is a treasure!

A section of a Steam review that reads: "A Game Marred by External Decisions

This adventure is also, and most importantly, spoiled by the publisher, No More Robots. Their forced DEI, seemingly to collect more money, comes at the expense of narrative coherence and the original developer's vision. The inexplicable presence of a character wearing an Islamic headscarf in a universe where it doesn't fit is a glaring example that shatters immersion."

The developer response to the review that reads: Hello! It's me, the dev! Like the actual person that wrote the code, almost all 97,000 lines of it, as well as all the characters, dialog, cutscenes, and storyline. The publisher did in fact make a singular character suggestion to me. You know which character it was?

The dog.

The rest? All me! You are making up completely unfounded conspiracy theories.

Oh, and that "surveillance"? It's called a log file. Unity makes them by default. Scary stuff, I know.

Take a hike man.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

Slowly getting from the "dump everything on the slide" format to something usable

I think the world is ready for a SQL / DBT linter of quality similar to elm-review. Like, tell me which columns/CTEs are unused, prevent some bad patterns, let me know when I'm missing an exhaustive case somewhere, etc.

This one dethroned Iosevka and Sudo for me, keep coming back to it. Martian Mono is getting close, but I need my JetBrains Mono fix ...

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

This is a master class not just Clay specifically, but just how most layouting in UIs work in general.

It also helps that @nicbarker.com is incredibly good at explaining, in both text, orally, and visually.

If you’re working in UI, look at this. Ingest it. Understand it.

Absolute gold!

It was originally 40min but I agreed to some schedule changes the organizers needed.

No plans for other conferences yet, but not for lack of trying :)

Martin Janiczek @janiczek.cz · 9d

Yeah, preparing for my talk. If I just wrote it from scratch on stage, it would take me 1h30m. I will probably have to show snapshots without writing them, to fit in 20min. Trying to figure out the best way to make it stick for the audience

Before: USB-C 1080p output and overheating after ~30min
After: HDMI 4k@30 via Elgato CamLink and seems stable as rock

I am resizing it down to 1080p when streaming on Twitch, but the quality increase _does_ seem to be there!

Also, put a bit of a sharpness filter in there. Juuuust a little.

Before: screenshot from a stream, blurry image

After: screenshot from a stream, sharper image

I took all Elm queue libraries and thoroughly PBT-tested and benchmarked them. Found a bug too!

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

@kilroy.bluecanary.dev Do you by any chance know how to import the bookmarked_posts.json from bookmarks.bluecanary.dev/export to the new official Bluesky "Saved Posts"?

I'm currently stuck on having a list of at:// URLs and not knowing where to put them.
