So I took @npub100w…y59u's MetalSlug (https://github.com/metal-by-example/MetalSlug) - itself an implementation of the https://sluglibrary.com paper…
Ported it to https://metalsprockets.com…
Optimised it so it renders all text in a single draw call (from an original 40,000 draw calls…)
And then entered the matrix?
Every glyph is vector. Whoa.
(Code needs a cleanup - it got messy but will put it online soon)

If you’re thinking of flying internationally to attend WWDC if you get a golden ticket (or any other US conference):
Please reconsider. Don’t come.
You can protest this administration by not coming and not spending your tourist dollars here
And don’t forget it’s just not safe to travel here.

My wife - a former elementary teacher - and her friend - an art historian - just launched their Kickstarter and I'm genuinely proud of them.
They made a children's art book where a single line runs through twelve real masterpieces - kids follow it and actually look at the art. A lovely way to build art appreciation without it feeling like a lesson.

my MRI is going to be billed at $1500 of which I pay approx $1000.
And I have pretty good health insurance.
But my dog has better health insurance than I do. We’d only be paying $300 if this was her.
I honestly cannot understand why this nation is fine with this crap.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” an audience member asked. Kirk responded, “Too many.”
The questioner followed up: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk asked.
Then a single shot rang out.
PERFECT.

you’re not wrong. AI will be used like this. But people have been trying to blame computers for years and years. See insurance companies :-)

good luck with that
The last and final time we lived in an apartment the “computer told them to raise the rent by 25%” and there was “nothing” the apartment management could do about it.
And this was a decade or more before this new AI fad.
People have been successfully blaming computers for their shitty decisions for years.

This is rather encouraging. A fork of Homebrew in rust where they actually encourage feedback and pull requests. Instead of treating their users like vermin like the homebrew maintainers do.

So far two apologists for this act of terror. Was expecting more tbh.
The argument seems to be “it was targeted because Hezbollah” or something.
Apparently it is well known hezbollah always keep their pagers with them, their children never pick them up, they never leave them on the kitchen counter charging and they’re never around other people ever.
And that were 100% sure all 3000 or so injured are hezbollah.

I built a thing: https://github.com/schwa/multigit-rs
It's a (rust) CLI tool for managing _lots_ of git repositories at once.
(It's a rewrite of a Python tool i've been using personally for years)
Register git repos (or folders of repos):
multigit register ~/Projects
Get the status of all your repos at once
multigit status
Pull changes for all repos
multigit pull
Run commands on all dirty repos:
multigit exec git stash --filter dirty
There's a lot more in the project README.

Indiscriminately detonating 2000-3000 bombs more or less at random in a civilian population sure sounds like the very definition of terrorism to me.
