Rust, Kubernetes, Elixir, Git, jj-vcs, Wheel of Time books, The Expanse books & show, board and video games AI is a huge net negative and deserves as much scrutiny and skepticism as we can possibly muster

If it's good enough for beltalowda it's good enough for me!
My go-to example of something that is technologically very long in the tooth but basically immortal due to network effects is BoardGameGeek. I have debated often whether I could make a more modern and pleasant UX for that niche without having that user base or all the domain-specific content ready.
Pretty much every creative software under the sun most likely has a native MacOS version, but particularly for visual arts IME
You'd think WoD IP being under Paradox would mean it would be a marketing machine turned loose, right?
They're on the YouTube circuit pretty heavily atm, but maybe they don't want to answer questions like "why did the game I preordered in spring 2019 take until winter 2025 to release?"
If you have recommendations for space/astronomy documentaries, lay 'em on me. We watched The Farthest last night about Voyager and it cheered me up a lot to escape into that world of hope and discovery for a couple hours.
Should you care to read the other side of that purported story:

Ruby Central said some really concerning things today. I donβt think theyβre representing the situation accurately. andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/t...
Mackinac Island or Ypsilanti
presumably they mostly think "I paid X for ads and gained Y users in that time period, so clearly It's Working and There Are No Other Factors Involved"
Even using a proper ISO-ordered date π₯Ή
I was randomly looking up tabletop RPG stuff on YouTube this weekend and found a campaign where they were two of the player party without being advertised prominently. Backed out of that one right quick.
Ghost of Yotei is sooooo pretty. I only left the first region last night, and got some really beautiful story beats (that are not in the screenshots).
announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!
There's a part of my brain muttering "man this is so cool" every few minutes while playing Ghost of Yotei, and Tsushima before it. Very happy with my time spent with each.
I don't think it's entirely uncommon to write only "12a" or "12p" if the context is already understood to be a 12-hour time of day.
Every time I think I remember how hideous it is to read DHH's writing with my own eyes, I've still always underestimated how bad it is.
Saw a GitHub phishing attempt using an impersonation of a YCombinator account and a malicious GitHub app, be careful out there! (Already reported)
Guessing this was another comment thread that was approximately about "some arbitrarily selected Rust software should build as-is with the toolchain available via apt on Debian stable, and it's a moral failure if it can't"?
#TheExpanse A Little Death #1 is in stores today!
Co-written by Wes Chatham (who plays Amos in the TV show) and myself; art by Francesco Pisa; covers by Christian Ward, Justine Florentino and BjΓΆrn Barends.
Good hunting, beltalowdas! π
All six seasons of #TheExpanse are back on Amazon Prime, if you want to check it out sometime...
Ryan Reynolds 100%
Where can I preorder!?
I am sad to say it but I personally didn't like any follow-ups as much as the first Mistborn trilogy, and it wasn't even close. If you choose to continue, I wish you better luck!
Lace, in Deep Docks
I am so unbelievably bad at Silksong. One boss kept me stymied for at least an hour straight yesterday, and it's still quite early.
We're definitely on the timeline where we wind up with a real life Wayland-Yutani in ~100 years. Honestly, that's like... kind of a hopeful take, even. If you put various contemporary CEOs into the world of the Alien movie franchise I have no reason to believe they'd be any less cruel to employees.
Predator 2 with the narrow miss of "LA during a heatwave"
particularly the Monster Hunter one
No new pictures, where are you at mentally?
