Here's how Ivan created ZERO VOID, his hacker alias slash virtual halloween costume. I've since stolen it from him, since he's dead, and now refer to ZV as a "witch-hat hacker" cuz that's cute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMaP...

Sept FoC Virtual Meetup • www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps7a... Three heater demos: • An RPG that lets you walk (literally) through the execution of code. • A content-addressable query-driven workspace. • A canvas full of micro editors and visualizers you can fully live inside.

I've always hated that mainstream languages don't have macros as powerful as lisp macros. So I'm doing my small part to fix that. First an argument why we need them. jimmyhmiller.com/change-our-l... Second a library to add them to typescript sweetener-ts.github.io

We Should be Able to Change our Languages — Jimmy Miller

It's time we stopped treating languages as sacred fixed objects. We need now, more than ever, languages we can change.

ux friends, does anyone have any resources (papers, studies, blog posts, talks, ...) exploring canvas interfaces, node base uis, that kind of thing... there's a wealth for visual programming but im struggling to find the same interest in other kinds of canvas apps/interfaces.

Nearly every general-purpose programming language is Turing complete. So ask not what you can do with a language, but what a language makes worth the effort. A short note on "effective expressiveness": www.inkandswitch.com/malleable-so...

Effective expressiveness

Everything is possible. What’s actually worth the effort?

Congrats to the winners of the AF voting! LESBIAN SLED DEATH was only a runner-up. However, it’s not RIP! The support I‘m seeing for this game tells me there’s an audience. So I’ll be working on it in a moonlighting capacity while I figure out what’s next! But first, Amnesia Fortnight continues!

okay i wasn't going to quote this and i'm sorry for doing so, but this has been irking me for hours: i think what gets me about it is that this point has become prevalent to the extent that it essentially makes those of us that refuse to use AI for coding unemployable, which makes me **furious**.
