I re-made Glider some years back for MacOS/iOS. It broke at some point (perhaps an Apple change for Retina displays?) so I pulled it from the App Store.
(Claude looked at the code—found some minor coordinate issues. Thanks!) Glider Classic for MacOS is back on.

hivemind,
do you know of any good definition/description of `Big AI'?
thx :)
Desde la ventanilla del avión pudieron ver cómo el cohete se elevaba rápidamente, dejando tras de sí una columna de humo que se perdía en el cielo.
Juego terminado y enviado a la redacción de #Microhobby. Me ha gustado como ha quedado: combates por turnos, ambiente de aventura de texto, y hasta un mini ordenador en la sala de control. Corto pero intenso, ideal para picar a la gente con sus jueguecillos y dar ideas.
Fascinating new research paper asks: why did Biden receive so little political credit for his enormous investments in manufacturing? Turns out people give all the credit to governors (ironically, in this case, mostly red-state governors who were hostile to the policy!).
Sad to see Paul Brainerd has passed. Amazing career in business and environmental advocacy. Without him, I’d have had no career! I met him a few times in the early Internet days. www.geekwire.com/2026/pagemak...
On a side note 136 billions would have made you the richest man on heart a couple years ago and now you almost don’t make the chart. It doesn’t make any sense. These growth numbers are a cancer diagnosis, without even considering the greediness
pretty stunning chart
The local federal court received almost as many habeas petitions – asking judges to order the release of those unlawfully detained – in January as in the entire period from 2016 to 2024. More important, the federal judges in Minnesota are granting the petitions and people are coming home (though not without ICE obstructing and demeaning them at every step). But then ICE started transferring people out of state as quickly as possible, often within eight hours, thwarting the local habeas efforts. Every day now, chartered deportation flights leave from the Twin Cities airport carrying people with their hands and feet in shackles. Observers report other adaptations. ICE have gone from wearing tactical army gear to Midwestern civilian garb; I have even seen photos of agents in keffiyehs. They have changed their cars and their licence plates: from out-of-state to in-state, to blotted plates or none at all. Meanwhile, Trump’s ‘border tsar’, Tom Homan, has replaced Greg Bovino as head of ICE operations in Minnesota, an attempt to dim the lights on what will be a violent march in either guise. ‘There’s no sanctuary from federal law enforcement,’ Homan has said.
To my knowledge, moving prisoners around the country in an attempt to avoid habeas corpus review has been banned since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. Habeas corpus is, of course, protected in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.
Tell them it will find your dog.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I showed Gas Town to my business partner Rich and he said “oh it's SOAP/WSDL for agents” and I am still processing that.

"Hi, everyone. I know things are hectic as heck right now, but please be sure to fill out your timesheets every Friday by 5 p.m. Central. I can’t pay you unless I know your hours. Please also try to be accurate."
It’s really amazing to see this exercise in self-destruction of the United States in real time…

"You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."
You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.
ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.
9 TOTAL.
ABOLISH ICE.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.
Mamdani's Executive Order Number 1, as described in the post.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Yes, it's good that The Times collates Trump's tangled grifts but, again, the #BrokenTimes fails to take the next step: Labeling it corruption to enable explanation of emoluments and illegality.
