A destiny woven in cloth and in the stars, where the swans dwell.

The PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 CD version of LOOM is a curious bird, mixing elements of the 16-colour EGA and the 256-colour VGA versions into a hybrid creature.

An implementation of @redblobgames.com hex grid guide (THE major reference for hex maps - www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexago... ) in Common Lisp.

The actual display example uses Sketch (github.com/vydd/sketch/...), all great fun. Using CLOS for the shapes works quite well.

it is very telling that “BIOS”, in addition to being an acronym, is also the Greek word for “life”. meanwhile, “UEFI” is, of course, ancient Greek for “unified extensible firmware interface”

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

Second, ATACMS strikes on Russia had no significant consequence for anyone except Russia. Their blustering about red lines was geared only towards fools, and only fools fell for it. People like Joe Rogan, who have inadequate understanding of reality.

I've been writing a lot about the terminal recently, and I've realized that there are two kinds of rules in the terminal:

- "Laws of Terminal Physics"(that are ~always true)
- Social Rules (that only work because people mostly agree on them)

here are some of the social rules!

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Bluesky is proof that cryptocurrency isn't a core tenant of decentralization. The team demonstrated extreme levels of pragmatism by leveraging new and existing technologies to produce something people actually use.

About your proof 1/4

I just found a bunch of AI generated "richard stallman acid trip in a forest" images in my Twitter export. These are very old AI generated stuff, back when it looked surreal as hell.

I think the first one is my favorite.

just discovered litecli (github.com/dbcli/litecli), it feels like a big improvement over the default SQLite REPL (autocompletion! support for multiline queries! syntax highlighting!)
