We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks 💸

90% legacy spaghetti code, an underfunded documentation team and all releases have weird bespoke hardware. I give you the human body.

This basically. Labour has relentlessly increased the salience of the issues Reform prioritises, whilst winning over basically no Reform voters, and simultaneously alienating their own base. It's just terrible politics.

Cairo Smith:
There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

My big question for this is the extent to which it’s demand vs supply driven. My hunch is that people’s preference for keeping up with their friends is undiminished, but we’ve seen a boom-bust cycle in people’s desire to see the more easily-monetised churn of influencer content and now pure slop

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

One of the most annoying things about AI hype is that it makes software companies re-label existing features AI, and then people get mad at you for using those features because they've confused them for generative AI.

Tell the non-programmer: 50 year old code will have seen every weird edge case at some point, everything someone forgot could happen, and someone will have tried to fix it. It ends up becoming *mostly* these fixes, as weird edge cases and bad assumptions are encountered and fixed.

This is a beautiful tribute.
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards. They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments vimeo.com/293437684
