I have never heard of TBPN and I suspect I’m better off for it.

John MoltzJohn Moltz Enterprises is pleased to announce that it has acquired Apple for the low price of $20. As the new CEO I would like to assure customers that most operations will remain the same. With the big exception of government relations. And a bunch of App Store shit.
iPhone Air is the best iPhone since iPhone X which was the best since the original.
Your mileage may vary and if you’re into photography the calculus is probably different. But this thing is svelte, powerful, and sexy.
I’ve named mine Sulu.
Seeing a lot of talk about people going "back" to the Moon. Guess no one read this fact-filled piece I wrote a number of years ago. Sad. https://johnmoltz.com/post/146407206/10-reasons-i-know-the-apollo-11-moon-landing-was-faked/John_Moltz/Return.html
Jonathan WightFor those wondering…
What's cool about this is that it uses true vector glyphs. A lot of text in 3D (and in your GPU accelerated Terminals etc) render the glyphs to textures at fixed (usually high) resolution. Or uses Signed Distance Fields trickery to render them well.
This code is using the slug algorithm that @warrenm ported recently after the paper went public domain.
Much more info here:
Ok I guess I wasn't left any choice in the matter.
So I took @warrenm'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)
SpockoToday we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.
But I know that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Also, Jemison became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemison as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.

The Power Mac G3 was a thing of beauty. It was a fashionable and ground breaking design while being unapologetically a computer. It went so far beyond the aesthetics of PC cases of the time to address the functional requirement to be able to open it up and add things to it. This aspect was shared with earlier Power Mac towers but never so beautifully realized as in the Power Mac G3. A truly innovative design and product and a self assured early first step on Apple’s decades long run.
Glenda AdamsFor Transgender Day of Visibility, here’s a throwback photo of me from circa 2006, when Apple featured Mac developers in an online ad campaign for WWDC.
Yes, we were around even then. There’s a pretty good chance if you played Mac games in the 90’s, one was written by me or @burgerbecky
