In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done. Messy source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs.

Release v0.133.0

This is a big one! At long last, Manyfold can now create static image previews of your 3D models thanks to our new friends at F3D, so you can see exactly what you’ve got without having to load the whole model - but of course, you can still click to load the real thing.

I'm no prophet, but I'm gonna guess that it *will* happen again, and that the fancy autocomplete isn't sorry and won't remember shit.

AI Slopageddon and the OSS Maintainers

AI slop is ripping up the social contract between maintainers and contributors essential to open source development. Practitioners have been repeatedly assured that AI would supercharge their communities, but so far that hasn’t been the case. Just look at what happened last month.

Regarding the government's consultation into banning under-16s from social media, Liz Kendall went on to say, "Let me be clear, I am against infinite scrolling. I have always said that products like React have no place in modern society. Today I am standing up for the British workers who manufacture the pagination links and full-page refreshes that hard-working families rely on."

Looking for a new UK weather app now that the met office have broken their UI in the latest update. Ideally looking for an app that uses UK / European forecast data for better accuracy. Any suggestions?
