Someone just sent me a very clearly vibecoded PR with a hardcoded 'true' variable which would ensure that an entire branch of the code could just never execute? And they didn't seem to notice?

I've been looking forward to this for a while - a new tool for making grid-based puzzle games! I haven't used it yet but the design goal seems like it might be "what if PuzzleScript was both more powerful and more approachable", which is very exciting to me.

I went to a (mostly very good) tech conference today, but then the keynote speaker pulled a "why are you still hand-rolling code? Give yourself to the machine god" at the end. I spent years of my life on this and I'm still only halfway good at it.I don't want to give up my basic understanding of it

Bring me enough money to hire Brian Blessed and whatever cast is currently on rotation at Llandudno theatre, a warehouse outside of Manchester, and the cryogenically preserved head of Iain M Banks, and I'll make the greatest Dr Who episode you've ever seen

Dr Who is definitionally the opposite of a Hollywood studio output. Real heads know all the good stuff was filmed in an abandoned quarry somewhere with a bunch of classically trained theatre actors hamming it up

I really like the Iain Banks principle that an AI with a sufficiently wide bandwidth of human knowledge couldn't help but be vastly empathetic and kind because it lives with the constant awareness of how much we've already suffered

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

thought this comment was actually quite perceptive – maybe the realisation is not quite "it's going to imminently kill us all" but rather "there's *literally* no way to control what it does on the way to a goal"

Bill Bryson on the RNLI in "The Road to Little Dribbling : more notes from a small island" (2015)
I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy
who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

The FBIs list of the hijackers wasn't released until the 14th of September, so what she's implying here is that there was a global conspiracy of brown people (including children) who were all somehow in on it... archives.fbi.gov/archives/new...

Picking on the RNLI and thinking you are the good guys is such a great example of what is presumably an irreversible brain rot, like if you opened up the bonnet on those heads it would be like when a peach has gone too mushy to be saved

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.
