Want to do some web service. Want a typed, compiled language. Looked at Vapor again. Ugh. Pulled down SwiftNIO resigned to roll my own framework. Docs explicitly say I shouldn’t and suggest looking at Vapor (ugh) or Hummingbird. Wait… Hummingbird?
People, it’s REALLY nice!

My favorite Pop Tart is the kind where you make it, then forget about it, and discover it the next day when going to toast a bagel. Cold, toasted Pop Tarts are the best.

In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire — Elon Musk — stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. This is that story.
-
Trump sounds like brain weasels. Like, they’ve always been there, but now they’ve taken control and are speaking directly through him.

🎮 Chants Of Sennaar (2023) - ★★★★☆
Beautiful visuals, distinctive art style, and gameplay I would describe as “Heaven’s Vault lite”, there a bunch to love about Chants. It’s a small, well made game, and currently 30% off on Steam.
-
There are no old software developers. Just people with woodshops in their garage.

-
Does anyone remember a 2016ish game called Tharsis? And know if Citizen Sleeper is an homage? Spiritual successor? Has shared devs/roots?
-
Cannot wait to see how Vision Pro eye tracking works after my 2nd old fashioned. Or how the Apple Store associates will politely suggest that maybe it’s time for me to leave and they’re closing soon.

Thoughts on the God Goggles: Pretty much an engineering marvel. They weren’t blowing smoke when they said the most sophisticated consumer device ever. And Apple figured out a ton beautiful solutions to big and subtle problems. 3D movies might (ironically?) be the killer app. But not a $3k use case.
-
Why name it “Generative Fill” when “Doctor Fill” is just sitting there!
-
Man. I hate Live and am still enthralled by the engineering and posibilities of a Push 3 platform.
-
📺 Mrs. Davis (2023) - ★★★★★
This entire show starts out as an impossibly ambitious absurdist exercise and doubled-down every episode. So I had to wait to see if it stuck the landing before raving about it. And it nailed it. 100% satisfied customer.
-
C++ having both pointers and references is such a belt-and-suspenders kind of solution.
-
Those happy that Tucker and Fox have parted ways… hold that applause until it’s clear he’s not announcing for the 2024 race.
-
I’ve been looking everywhere for a “C++ for C++ Developers” style book or post or something. This comes pretty close: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp…

-
Yup, yup, yup!

My Bandcamp Friday picks:
-
Not gonna to lie; Johnny Mnemonic in black and white is shockingly good.
-
Let’s look at the bull case for AI-generated content. It is excellent and everybody loves it. The internet is flooded with it. In fact, because its so much cheaper and quicker to produce than human content (and can be automated) we should expect AI-generated content to dwarf human made content on the internet. And everyone is happy because, again, they can’t get enough of it.
But the internet is where AI are trained…
-
We know the first one was a balloon, but the rest are probably improperly stored classified documents.

Happy #BandcampFriday! My picks this month:

It turns out everything beyond EGA is a waste.
