I’ve put together a 100-page artbook full of pieces from 2015-2020, showcasing all the pencil & ink process steps and details all together, all in one place. It’s free for any viewing, study, practice, and inspiration! Enjoy! https://allisonchinart.gumroad.com/l/freesketchbook #sketchbook #artistsonmastodon #ink

“To fully and exactly understand TURKEY BOMB one must first grok the ancient art of computer programming while under the influence of recreational consumables. If you are already under the influence (and why else would you be reading a document about a language named TURKEY BOMB,) congratulations, you've already taken your first steps on the road of becoming an expert TURKEY BOMB programmer/jockey.”

“No standard mathematical functionality is supplied in Sartre. Instead, nihilists are created, which may damage the properties inherent to the data, and nihilators are executed to reclaim storage dynamically.

Sartre programmers, perhaps somewhat predictably, tend to be boring and depressed, and are no fun at parties. No comments will be made on the level of contrast between the Sartre programmer and any other programmer.”

@owa For more than a week, web developers have held their fire, assuming Apple might have a new (extremely belated) solution in the works, and Cupertino never talks about anything, so why would this be different?

That silence has gone from "disappointingly ineffective" to "epic self-own". This is a brazen attempt by Apple to sink the competition and claim they were forced to by those DMA meanies.

Time's up. We have to understand silence as an attempt to normalise the indefensible.

Max 22 days left until release, installed Web Apps (PWAs) are still broken in 17.4 beta 3, nothing in the release notes, no response to bug ticket, a deafening silence from Apple.

Now is the time to fight back, fill the survey

iOS 17.4 Beta 3 is out and PWAs are still broken in the EU. It's looking like Apple is going to break web apps and try to blame regulators. We can't let that happen, so now's a great time to join @owa and help push back.

This timely post has all the background:

Complexity has been rebooted

The #SantaFeInstitute's #Complexity #Podcast has earned a reboot after a hiatus of nearly a year.

This has long been amongst my favourite podcasts, covering complexity science, information, systems, and a vast panoply of other topics. This is very welcome news.

that said, I think it's hard for people to learn from that kind of information. I suspect responses would be:
- I never shared that actually
- I don't believe the new info
- the fact that I fell for the original story really says something about society

i know this would never happen but I think it would be interesting if e.g. instagram sent users updates when things they shared on their story later turned out to be untrue propaganda

oh yay, we likes it when things "just work"... esp in a #Rust program ;^}

so far, I am hating building & integrating GUIs with #Rust using the @TauriApps libraries less than anything else I have tried. I can save/restore window state, separate the presentation layer into HTML & CSS, use ECMAScript to manage interaction, separate the application logic into #Rust, and check for the existence of a file & persist stuff (like an API key) into it without too much gnashing of teeth.

life is good.

Yesterday we released the first numbered version of Surfer, an extensible waveform viewer that runs everywhere 🎉

The big new thing for 0.1.0 is a brand new waveform library written by @ekiwi which supports FSTs, and is much more efficient at handling VCDs than the previous lib. Startup time on a 7GB vcd went from 2 minutes to 6 seconds on my machine 🔥

In the future we'll do releases every 6 weeks. Read more about 0.1 at https://blog.surfer-project.org/v0-1-0/

Try it: https://app.surfer-project.org/

Interestingly, the .af NIC just suspended inet.af, too. It used to host Go modules. This suggests queer.af maybe wasn't specifically targeted for being LGBTQ+ friendly, but for being unrelated to Afghanistan.
