I have been working on Puzzmo, in secret, for almost two years now with @orta.

Puzzmo is *the* place to play daily newspaper puzzle games online.

TODAY we are launching a brand new daily crossword (designed to be approachable like all of my games) alongside with 2 other new games from me (and 3 older ones reimagined)

During prelaunch we only let in 500 people a day, so get at em!

I hope you enjoy Puzzmo!

• Holding up a large white mug with black print. On the outside, on black background, lots of white doodles of Halloween inspired things are shown in a wild mix. Sugar skulls, bats, herbs, crows, spiderwebs and the like. Around the rim on the inside the word "spooky" is written multiple times, spaced by stars. In the background you can see a black shelf with some small cute Lego tanks and three framed art prints by Jennie Gyllblad. (remote)

It's nice that Raspberry Pi and Android blazed the trail for ARM software compatibility. This made developing for and on Apple Silicon so much easier.

Tip for iPhone 15—you can limit charging the battery to 80%, to prolong its life: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512#limit

Important caveat (that stumped me initially): “With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.”

Last week Oxide and Friends found itself in an unusual spot: as a clip, being… critiqued by another podcast! On Monday we invited Conor Hoekstra, one of the hosts of that podcast, to join me and @bcantrill to settle the podcast beef.

It was a great discussion about podcasting, unearthing the great stories of our industry, tribalism… and yes, some C++ and Rust comparisons.

Today is a huge day for Apple II software preservation. With the help of Antoine Vignau and @txgx42, we have managed to recover, make playable, and archive renowned game designer Dani Bunten's first game, Wheeler Dealers. Released in 1978/79 and published by Speakeasy Software, a small Canadian developer, Wheeler Dealers is a multi-player stock market simulation that only sold ~50 copies. It is the first (known) computer game to have been sold in a box. The game was considered lost until now.

when someone asks you a straightforward technical question and you start to answer it before realizing your explanation is about to appeal to a concept that itself needs to be elaborated on so you start explaining that and you repeat this process four or five times until you find yourself saying "okay, so there's this branch of philosophy called ontology" to someone who looks increasingly baffled and alarmed that this is your response to being asked "why are computers like that?"

Every once in a while, I get this wave of exhaustion and depression from US politics.

Right now, we have a man who reportedly ignored sexual assault while wrestling coach of Ohio State college, who is heavily involved in an insurrection against our government, and who literally has never worked to pass any bill in in the almost 2 decades he’s been a House representative THIS CLOSE to being speaker.

It’s fucking embarrassing, infuriating and exhausting all at once.

In 2021, clang added this warning:

It's so sad that this has to exist, and people still need to bend over for 30-year-old compilers, or recent Microsoft compilers.

The one thing which really surprised me about alt text is how many people without any visual impairment also read them.

People who don't "need" it still look for it.

It makes some sense, too. Often I include why I added the image, along with an explanation of what it means.

I'm sure that does help everyone understand faster and easier.

Apple's whole App Store model, which defines a huge chunk of the modern world, relies on a chain of trust and safety based on individuals internal to Apple, with no external oversight. What happens when a future Apple CEO, or head of App Store, decides to act inappropriately, anticompetitively, or maliciously, or to put in place structures that disadvantage some developers in favor of others (or Apple)? This is why regulation and external accountability is essential

Check out this weird "alpha angle code" that the Bureau of Land Management uses to "freezemark" wild horses and burros. They will pay you $1,000 to adopt a wild horse or burro, but the program has been criticized by animal rights advocates and subject to scrutiny by Congress.

sadly, everyone is in reactive mode & the actual data will probably not matter: fm NYTimes -

“American officials say they have multiple strands of intelligence — including infrared satellite data — indicating that the deadly blast at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday was caused by Palestinian fighters.

The intelligence includes satellite and other infrared data showing a launch of a rocket or missile from Palestinian fighter positions within Gaza. American intelligence agencies have also analyzed open-source video of the launch showing that it did not come from the direction of Israeli military positions, the officials said. Israeli officials have also provided the United States with intercepts of Hamas officials saying the strike came from forces aligned with Palestinian militant groups.”
