writing code should not be the primary way of contributing to free open source software
free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

I was wondering what would happen if you played Newton Wars (aka Gravitational Combat), but had a full visualization showing you which target/planet you would hit when shooting in that direction with that force!

So I wrote a #glsl shader to figure that out, and it's really pretty! 

This is how it works: If you hover over a red pixel in the diagram, you can be sure you'll hit the red planet! The lightness is how soon you'll hit it.

I've had a theory for a few years that most software engineers don't actually like software engineering. Had there not been money in it they would have followed a different career path instead of getting a CS degree from a 4-year college (or boot camps).

LLMs align with this theory. The people who are excited that something else is doing their job for them are the same people who picked the job for the salary, not the joy.

TFW you are told to implement harfbuzz but instead implement fizzbuzz or, perhaps more dangerously, the reverse
every time I find an hour to resume working on a project, I burn all that time just updating dependencies and fixing breakages ;_;

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

Building a serverless, post-quantum Matrix homeserver

As a proof of concept, we built a Matrix homeserver to Cloudflare Workers — delivering encrypted messaging at the edge with automatic post-quantum cryptography.

#TIL that you can rip an audio CD in #KDE just by opening it in dolphin and copying out the folder named for the format you want it in.

These are a set of virtual folders that represent the formats supported by your system to rip them into.

How cool is that?
