I really like the terminal, most of my use is a web browser or terminal with tmux.

I use hot keys like cray, but I haven’t found a timing window manager I like yet (I don’t like when things shift automaticallly, it breaks my mental model), and I haven’t found a Linux desktop with the keyboard ergonomics of macOS.

But 95% of my time is with full screen terminals, so I’m actually pretty okay. I have customized vim and tmux to the hilt, and I like that.

Ghost of Tsushima has an optional samurai movie mode you can turn on in settings.

They apply deliberate filters to feel like an old style noir samurai movie and set the dialogue to Japanese. It’s pretty cool, and a fun celebration of that film genre.

The whole game has an incredible art direction, you can feel the soul and passion that went into it.

I would recommend Ghost of Tsushima, it’s a top 10 video game experience in my life.

Legally, they can’t shut this down via DMCA/copyright/etc. This is a clean room implementation of the APIs via decompilation. They’ve lost this lawsuit before, they can’t file fake DMCA, so they’re kinda stuck.

Plus, the PS5 rom encryption keys leaked this year, so no matter what Sony does users can extract and decrypt games from memory using any PS5 made before January 2026. Any software update they push can be dumped from memory (I have no idea how easy or difficult this is though, or what Denuvo style encryption they use).

I’m 100% sure Sony has some fuckery saved up for the GTA6 release though. Maybe that will be adding new required API calls and forcing updates to all games, or a Nintendo Switch style firmware fuse + attestation, or force online validation to open the game (like how many single games are online only). I think the most likely is just requiring online account validation, which will probably get stripped out of a pirated game binary anyways.

What did you see it in HFR? I would like to experience that again

There are exceptions to the rules

Same thing just happened with Anthropics numbers. Billions short of their stated numbers.

🤞

This is too stupid to be their grift.

This carries risk, squatting isn’t cheap, and there’s zero momentum.

They prefer dumbass shit that involves tricking his base.

LOL

Genuinely laughing out loud.

What a fucking loser, his new word isn’t catching on so now he’s throwing a hissy fit

The whole threatening careers thing happened with navier stokes too.

These people are completely rotten to the core.

That sounds by definition not random.

Pushover licensing?

CRAM is an excellent name

I’ve always hated AI comments. They’re the bastard fusion medium blog spam and data labelling from underpaid and exploited people seeping into the slop.

Comments are for why, edge cases, and caveats. They should help explain unintuitive behaviours that usually must be learned the hard way, they help expose a larger structures, they explain an optimization, a shim, or a complex regex, or they explain where a temporary measure exists. Things of that nature.

Self documenting code is about thinking of the reader. I’ve worked in places that uphold self documenting code as gold and banned code comments at all and I’m convinced that’s wrong. It’s a burden on readers to have to go through history to find the addition, but the file has changed names or moved without a proper git mv and it’s a waste of time.

On that note, learning objective C and Swift did a lot for how I think about what naming could be. I try to focus on clear verbs and nouns so the action and target are always clear, avoid side effects, include examples in my docs, and embrace typing structures like nanedtuples in untyped languages.

I don’t know if it’s wroth a top level post, but today’s 22 Minutes was amazing, my parter was actually crying from laughing so hard at the Quebec English debate

I might have to try cosmic again, last time I used it it was too buggy, but looks much improved since a year ago.

They have Claude Docs now, which ironically is an utterly ungoogleable product.

It’s also actually better than Google Docs, because you can insert diagrams without using the hell that is Google’s diagram tool, and tables aren’t ass to work with.

I have two types of coworkers: emails that are 1-2 sentences followed by optional “cheers”, and emails that are 12 pages long of indecipherable AI bullshit.

I only read one of these.

There are a lot of these bubbles that have no good reason to exist, but rich people who own most of the worlds wealth are dedicated to floating them, so I can’t ever know.

The Oracle data center that can’t get electricity but must be paid for might be the start of debt obligations collapsing. But it might also get dragged out long enough by Oracle’s legal team that it doesn’t, and they have unfathomable cash to keep that ball rolling.

I really like some of the direction Canonical is going, but very much do not like how they’re getting there.

Rust core utils sounds great, this sounds great, but practically I feel both need a lot of time in the oven to come out right and that’s okay.

I also i feel like snaps have lost and can be considered a mistake. I don’t use snaps, so I can’t explain why, but everyone is saying it.
