RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

@gamemaker.io I noticed the announcement where you saved #LDJam57 was the day before the event ( ludumdare.com/news/ludum-d... ) ... can you comment on the likelihood of your company sponsoring #LDJam58 in October?

Hang in there...here's hoping some good R&R comes your way at least, but also some work that you like!

Less Glue, More Product: Why Elixir Shrinks Architectural Complexity If you’re building a backend mostly alone, Elixir lets you avoid service sprawl and ship features faster.

I can't wait to work with #Elixir in production...it just gets better and better! iamkonstantin.eu/blog/less-gl...

Oh dang...it says "Post blocked" above this now. OK, I didn't expect that in response to my attempt at humour, however poorly executed it may have been.

And now I see there are some out there using a fuller #LDJam tag, so...any #LDJam58 sponsors out there? =]

I'm tempted to have AI write me a witty retort but that would just feed right into the worldview you're promoting

So I'll go with...uh...this ^^

Mike has world-class skill and drive, and gaming owes him so much even for just running ludum dare. Not just indie gaming, we all now AAA benefits from our labor.

That he's without a project is criminal. Hire Mike yesterday please. #gamedev #indiedev

Any #LD58 sponsors out there? =]

@ludumdare.com I'm wondering if there's a sponsor or other workaround in place for the October #LDJam to happen this year? Or it's not known yet but still a 'maybe'?

If not, I totally understand (please do take care of you and yours!) 🙏

Yet another #Dell #BIOS update with a mystery #security advisory.

www.dell.com/support/home... references DSA-2025-048, which doesn't seem to exist. Oh well (I guess) — at least it's not in the future, like that other time.

I finally found the 2025 way of interacting with cookies from a LiveView. Much thanks to @steffend.me!

Pretty elegant, hope it gets merged into LiveView soon.

A large red warning saying: "Your developer profile and all apps will be removed from Google Play on February 26, 2025," unless the account is verified with all the personal information Google is requiring.

A form confirming that the mailing address and email I provide will be public, and shown on the Play Store for every app I publish, along with a required checkbox verifying I consent to Google showing this info, and that my apps may be taken down if the info cannot be verified.

Google is now *requiring* you to make your address & email public to publish an app.

I've looked into PO Boxes, etc., but they start at hundreds of dollars per year, which is way more than it's worth just to keep a couple of games listed.

They really don't care about small publishers. At all.

If Not React, Then What? - Infrequently Noted Frameworkism is now the dominant creed of today's frontend discourse, and it's bullshit. We owe it to ourselves and to our users to reject dogma and embrace engineering as a discipline that strives to...

@infrequently.org thanks for sharing your wisdom in infrequently.org/2024/11/if-n... . Regarding footnote 10, what do you think of "The Hydration Parasite Test"? ;)

I've found a pattern from adventure games that applies to programming. When you pick up an item, it has exactly one use in a future task. After that point, it's spent. Same is true for values in a data structure.

Anybody else use this heuristic? Does it have a name?

The Hype Around Signals — Smashing Magazine From KnockoutJS to modern UI libraries like SolidJS, Vue.js, and Svelte, signals revolutionized how we think about reactivity in UIs. Here’s a deep dive into their history and impact by Atila Fassina.

Nice article from @atila.io www.smashingmagazine.com/2024/11/the-... — any timeline for the sequel?

Doesn't seem it was a typo for DSA-2024-005 either... www.dell.com/support/kbdo...

Anyone else find it weird that a) Dell has a security advisory starting with DSA-2025 while it's still 2024 and b) that it is the main reason for a critical BIOS update but not be listed in their security advisory database? www.dell.com/support/home...

Sus much, or am I missing something? 🤔

If you're using svelte-headless-table, how are you handling its lack of Svelte 5 support (and general lack of updates)?

1️⃣ Reinventing the wheel
2️⃣ Sticking with Svelte 4
3️⃣ Using another project (do tell! :) )
4️⃣ Deprioritizing your own project for the moment

Sad to see really cool projects like github.com/bryanmylee/s... go unmaintained. I wish FOSS funding, especially for projects like this, were more universally available.

A tooltip "Apply changes from above message" above a button "apply above" in the lower-right corner of the Cursor chat input.

Let's try the upload again after a cold boot...

Stock Android alarm app showing 35 appearing between 29 and 31 for the minute.

Yep, leave it to me to experience things like this on stock Android with the standard Clock app. LOL

(Anyone looking for a QA engineer?)

Maybe I'm the only one who can't see my own image? It kept the aspect ratio somehow...just not...ya know...the pixels

Weird, bluesky showed the image fine while I was uploading it... *sigh* Firefox and HDMI somehow make issues like this on my laptop. But only sometimes. As a user, I'm a bug magnet

An "apply above" button with a tooltip "Apply changes from above message."

3) There's this cool new button in 0.43.5, but...it doesn't seem to do anything.

2) Having to use "Fix with AI" in the first place.

Why not send any new compilation warnings and errors immediately back before offering the final suggestion, so the AI can suggest from the outset code that's at least compilation-ready?
