Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80 (Frank DaCosta, 1982) (Source.)

The cover for a book, "Writing BASIC Adventure Programs for the TRS-80", by Frank DaCosta. The call text reads, "Create exciting computer games while you learn valuable new programming techniques!" A dragon curls around a TRS-80, taking a swipe at a knight who is standing on the keyboard, his sword raised to take a swing at the fearsome beastie perched on the monitor and disk drives.

what's that skip? it's a paradox? where! take us to the paradox skip. not sorry :) (maybe a bit about the alt text)

A meme six levels deep. a bot resistant task to identify a trash dumpster, and if there are none click skip. But there's a cybertruck which is a trash dumpster. Also there's a real trash dumpster. But to an Australian that's a skip. So we don't know what to click. So it's a paradox. But also there's a pair of doc martens which is also a pair o' docs. And there's Skippy the kangaroo. Help skippy, tell the docs about the paradox about the skip about the trash dumpster. Aieeee it makes no more sense to look at honestly.

WHAT IF Cory Doctorow is neither good, nor evil, nor shill? What if he's just an attention whore, repackaging other people's ideas as his own, trying desperately to fall on the published side of history? What if that's all he's EVER been?

For folks who had said "But AI is going to help with accessibility/#a117 so much" - apparently it is making things worse. And that's not too surprising, because it is a program that chains words together based on heuristics. That's all it is. There isn't much it's actually useful for.

This is madness! 😂 As I told a candidate in an interview today: we have enough non-determinism in our systems; I don’t need to add to it! Use it for the bits it’s good at, not for everything just because it exists.

The Hugging Face incident was “both notable and alarming,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @sfexaminer.bsky.social, “not because ‘ooh, the model’s so powerful,’ but because it demonstrates a colossal failure on the part of OpenAI to secure the sandbox in which it was testing its model.”

Okay one more odyssey post. Really loved the movie. But I for one am willing to stop rescuing Matt Damon. At some point we’re just going to have to collectively agree that if Matt Damon gets lost again we just have to let him go.

My father worked for an amusement park in the 70s, directing people toward parking lots so they filled evenly. He started sorting VW Beetles (v popular at the time) by color out of boredom. End of the day, people couldn't find their Beetle in the sea of same-colored Beetles. A giant mess.

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.

Look, I completely understand the reluctance to move from a massively popular, widely deployed programming language. I am myself a recovering Perl programmer. But if you think Rust's clippy is just lints in the same vein as `-Wall -pedantic`, you've been gaslit by your own language far too long.
