The desire for Xbox exclusives is a bit elusive. Never would I have thought that “please eliminate choice and make me buy a specific box for this game rather than what’s cheapest/best at the time” would be a prevailing sentiment.

ImageSharp is your next 2D game engine!

Comic. [Person 1 talking to a person with shoulder-length hair and a person with a white hat.] PERSON 1: I would never get an electric vehicle. Sure, they sound great, but what do you do if the battery runs out of charge? [caption] I felt pretty silly when someone finally explained tome that EVs are rechargeable.

FWIW I started Silk .NET because I needed a bindings library for my game engine. As I released the bindings (and people used it) before I even wrote a line of code for the engine I made it for, needless to say that engine never got worked on.

A tale as old as time in the world of building in public

Sad, Redmond’s quite a way away from the ol’ rainy rock that is the UK.

VLANs are institutional discrimination

JetBrains GoLand IDE showing sqlite3 bindings written in Go.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.

It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Where can I cancel my two weeks free trial of 2026 before the deadline?

It’s always “when I read the script I was blown away I knew it was a project I had to be involved in” and never “my agent sent me this and said it would pay X dollars and that sounded pretty good”

Man it’s really a shame Sonic Mania didn’t have more original zones because they were all sooo goood.

Isn’t it open source?

Haha fair enough. My next pet project after I’m done with my current OSS work is to build a compiler, I’ve probably learnt enough to be dangerous in preparation but maaaaan does it get complex quickly!

Nice! I guess next up is the fun of register allocation? Looking pretty spilly there!

Excellent choice! Can’t say I’ve ever watched any programming streams, must try it at some point.

A user named Exanite writes “Seems to be something in ArrayParameterTransformer.TransformArrayP arameterRewriter Oh noes” in a Discord message, followed by a rofl emoji and a screenshot showing the result of C# code "glFeedbackBufferxOES".Singularize(false) evaluating to "glFeedbackBufferxO". In response, a user named Perksey writes “Haahahahahahahahahhaha Oh no I dropped my xOES”. An additional screenshot is shown with the code in context: class TransformAccaxParameterRewriter( string? countParam, string ptrParam, TypeSyntax ptrParamType, TypeSyntax prELementType, bool isoutput, bool isHr ) : CSharpSyntaxRewriter public override SyntaxNode VisitMethodDeclaration(MethodDeclarationSyntax node) => node. WithIdentifier(Identifier@node.Identifier.ToString(). Singularize( false))

Today’s episode in “naming things is one of the hardest problems in computer science”

Seeing a lot of similar things in my feed today.

I don’t mind this app, but I really miss the feel that tech twitter had before the acquisition.

75%, impeccable taste!

Current mood: fighting the urge to 3D print and recreate the radio from Portal after seeing one (1) reel on someone else doing the same.

Ugh, I’ve enjoyed the break from my base getting touched.

“For some, coming to work is more than just a job. It’s a lifeline.”

Those are Vodafone’s own words, shared in a LinkedIn post celebrating the company’s culture of care, belonging, and compassionate leadership for its employees.

At least this way the motivation wouldn’t be “tarnishing a brand image”, you can always trust any public institution to find a way to ruin its image all on its own!

Tbh it’s funny that the average person has never properly considered how dangerous two private companies having that much data on financial transactions most individuals make is… Your government having data on every transaction may be concerning, but in private hands that data could end up anywhere.

I'm a firm believer that this liminal period between the holidays and New Year's is how we're supposed to live. It's peak existence.

May the word "efficiency" die in 2026 and all its horrible relatives "innovating" to solve the perceived problems of rest, joy, creativity, and humanity.

With current RAM prices this might be the only option left

At the gpg.fail talk and omg #39c3

You can just put a \0 in the Hash: header and then newlines and inject text in a cleartext message.

Won’t even blame PGP here. C is unsafe at any speed.

gpg has not fixed it yet.

Sneak peek of new #fsharp side project...
