Developer pro tip: add a checkbox to your pull request templates `- [ ] this PR contains code either produced by generative AI or copy-pasted from a stranger on the Internet`.
Claude is not your co-worker. Claude is a stranger on the Internet that copied code from all the strangers on the Internet.
It feels surreal but I have a working build of Sonic Pi with a native *SuperSonic* audio server.
This is my port of SuperCollider’s audio engine reworked for the web then *back* to native - this time with a JUCE backend.
Sonic Pi can switch audio devices without crashing and needing to restart!!!
share your projects with me, I need to geek out about them
I’m starting to get a better idea of what bugs me about Golang, which I often have to use in my day job:
The guardrails are on the path I am not interested in taking, and the path I want to take is overgrown with weeds.
We are not well aligned.
Screenshot of an X post by Republicans Against Trump reporting claims that commanders at multiple U.S. bases told troops the Iran war is part of “God’s plan” and linked to Armageddon. Below is a photo of Trump standing with several evangelical leaders praying around him.
The religious right has infiltrated far into our military with disturbing consequences.
On Saturday I'll be delivering a talk at TEDxManchester where I hope to live code music on the phones of all the audience like an orchestra using my new tech.
I'm both terrified (so much can go wrong) and excited (if it works it will be amazing!).
Fingers crossed...
The general rule is: if you're controlling hardware, don't try to backtrack.
The marks are all over. The initial prototype was made in Prolog, but not doing any backtracking.
Erlang inherited this style, but it's usually considered bad form (or at least confusing) to have very different semantics. Normally just used for default args.
And no mention of the *insane* music by Tim Follin which in itself is worth twice the price of the game!
Don't forget #0: Manic Miner (Could it be the first ever toilet in a game?)
I note that the journalist did his best to avoid having to write the name.
That's a tragedy.
When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say "Live and let live"
But if this ever-changing world in which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry
Say "Live and let die"

I finally took the time to build something I had in mind since a while: erlang-dist
Pre-built Erlang/OTP for Linux and macOS. OTP 27/28, x86_64 and ARM64. Automated with GitHub Actions. Open source.

FromFB: Hahahaha!!!
After all those years of demanding the freedom to copy other peoples work. Karma's a bitch.
Just goes to show, the rich and powerful want one rule for them, one rule for everyone else.
Never forget, most public AI's are based on theft.

Don't go to the US while Trump is there, it's just not worth it. With ICE being paid for everyone they arrest, it's a cash cow for little Hitlers, and none of them will give a shit about you.

I always enjoyed this illustration style used on late Codemasters games. Do we know who the illustrator was?

Maybe see you there?

From a discussion in RISF based on the old IBM adage, an updated version for the modern era:
very strange to me when people complain about losing followers on social media, when by definition your audience are the ones who stayed
