Bobby Prince has died.
He was the musical face of the DOS era, with iconic compositions for games such as the Commander Keen series, the Doom series, and Duke Nukem 3D. While he hadn't been very active in the past 25 years, many people remember his music, and some levels of Doom I and II still instantly evoke the distinctive AdLib sound of his tunes. A great loss!

Here’s a new, super-interactive essay I wrote about making interactions really great for repeated use, motor memory, and so on.
I wanted to share things I learned as a designer throughout the years, and highlight some of the nuances and great anonymous work but others, but do it in a hopefully interesting way.
Also, I just… love this kind of stuff? I don’t know. My hope is that you’ll fall in love with this, too.

New on #blog: pkgbump: from a dumb tool to an irreplaceable helper
https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2026/06/21/pkgbump-from-a-dumb-tool-to-an-irreplaceable-helper/
"""
Bumping packages is one of the most common tasks of a #Gentoo developer. It shouldn’t then be surprising that it is the one most asking for some kind of automation, and that the #pkgbump script would be one of the first scripts to become a part of the mgorny-dev-scripts package.
Today’s pkgbump have come a long way from the trivial script of its first iteration. The most recent versions finally feature the feature I desired for a long time: version manipulation. This also made it possible for the script to become a complete version bumping tool rather than just a part of a larger workflow. In this post, I’d like to shortly tell the story behind the changes, and demonstrate the new options.

Just one more LLM, bro. Just one more LLM and this code will surely work fine!

Because I mentioned it to a friend yesterday who hadn't heard the good news: the perennial "tabs vs spaces" debate ended in 2020, pep8 is wrong and the answer is tabs:
