i published a first version of my browser puzzle/platform game (+ level editor). you can play it for free (w/a keyboard) at boxtype.app. levels are encoded in the url; if you make something you like you can share it with anyone
i'd love to hear what you think!

its not new that you should consider whether you trust a service before giving them your data. but doubly so now that almost anyone can make a service-shaped artefact on the web in days. complete with every imaginable security hole and rookie mistake

at least we can agree that more meetings should have been emails

you can stack or layer LLMs any way you like; you are not going to create conciousness. no matter how much you want it to be true

computers talk to each other all the time, and have done for decades. having them use natural language is just a step back in terms of efficiency and security

i liked it better when people didn't care that much about computers in general. or at least i preferred it over everyone being enthusiastically wrong about computers everywhere and all the time

i think this agument (dev. speed) can be applied to software dev in general. and possibly also to explain why some are so eager to use coding agents: they have bad tooling
I think most game dev teams underestimate how damaging slow workflows are to the ultimate quality of their game.
If it takes 5 minutes to launch the game and see your changes, I think your game is going to be MUCH worse than the alternate timeline where it took 1 minute

qmv is good for renaming multiple files in the terminal. it opens the files in two columns in an editor, and you can edit the file names in the second column

The Virgo, my concept for a crewed Venus exploration vessel in the 2100s, based on the astrological glyph for the planet. The whole structure is spun, and the tether increases the overall radius for the inhabited sections while saving mass.

Recommending this account labeler from Cornell that makes it easy to spot suspicious accounts and ones that are follow-farming.

This very well articulates a rough idea I’ve had for a while which is that intellectual property theft is the wrong framing to understand what’s happening (and courts will legitimize it for pennies on the dollar anyways, as we’ve seen), but mass dispossession / enclosure is much more apt
