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...

I am *struggling* to enjoy this. The AI of it all feels like a thorn in the side of what would otherwise be… something I could imagine Orange Milk Records putting out. Also makes me wish I could hear real musicians performing these arrangements. There's some *wild* psychoacoustic stuff going on.

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.

You don’t really realize the breadth and depth of work that the Ink team has done until you see it blowing minds in one go. Ivy @spiralganglion.com did an amazing job presentating and of course huge work from the entire team over the years @wolkenmachine.bsky.social

here's a peak at what i've been doing for the past few years: building a calm, playful little space for thinking, doodling, journalling, and programming with materials like ink, paper, and… flux that spreads through your notes like a fluid wait what? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GurW...

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!

really not a fan of being called "delusional" for wanting to write the code myself. was this supposed to make me more interested in using AI in my work?

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**.
