Why Do We Tolerate Elon Musk’s Racist Commentary? “Musk’s virulent racism and vicious, disturbing views are no secret. He does not hide them. They sit in plain view, easily accessible on the social media website he owns…” [nytimes.com]

Why does the owner of X get a pass for what he says and does there?

One of the most obnoxious errors in modern macOS. Dude, you're a fucking computer. JUST TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO UNPLUG THIS DRIVE (Oh, and status remains unchanged after several days. Yes, I'm sure it's doing something *super* important…)

Check out what we found in the BART media archives the other day ⬇️ 🎥 🎞️ This animated short is from the 1960s. BART’s Automatic Train Control system was heralded as something that had never been attempted before, a new paradigm in the history of mass transit.

3D gaussian splat tour of San Francisco's Grace Cathedral: many nice touches from the the cutaway view to the cars and ambient audio, try WASD movement inside with Shift to sprint https://vincentwoo.com/3d/grac...

This is, quite possibly, the best piece of game writing not supposed to be read in the whole of existance. #CavesOfQud

Whoa: when playing CS2 with wired AirPods Max 2s, the audio is positioned *perfectly* in space around my head. I feel like I have some sort of superpower, knowing exactly where enemies are just from their footsteps. Valve's audio engineers are magicians. (Other headphones get ~80% of the way there.)

hi! i don't really do video content a lot, but i was invited by 3024 to do a deep dive on my career, composition process, and dynamic implementation. because it's usually a private chat, i requested that the archive be posted for free for anyone to check out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn5U...

It's such a bizarre experience having kids and regularly watching kids content and recognizing how many behaviors are displayed as villainous that are currently being lifted up as virtue in real life

Say what you will about Disney but long before Male Influencers were ever part of the public imagination they warned us about what a danger insecure aura farmers are to the community.

Fun to think back: 9games.pages.dev

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

Guys… uh… the chuds are using this analogy as a *positive* thing. We're completely cooked.

Made a sour cherry pie! Parbaked the lower crust this time. Pie sides did not retain their fluting, but the bottom was much closer to my crispy ideal. Might use less butter in the dough next time.

I’m discovering that sfplanninggis.org/pim/ contains an insane treasure trove of San Francisco architectural history: historic building value surveys & context statements, property photos from the 70’s, even low-flying aircraft shots of most streets from ~2000 onward — from all 4 compass directions!

Can fully instrumental EDM be funny? Yes!

Notes indexing is so borked on my Mac that I've resorted to using my iPhone to find notes and then open them on my Mac through Handoff. 😵‍💫

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

Had a fantastic meal at Telefèric Barcelona the other day, but found myself facing a new (to me) tipping riddle. The check included a 20% service charge for our party. Is it a tip? The FAQ says…

Don’t think I’ve ever had an HN comment downvoted as much as this one, advocating for rent control from the perspective of housing stability: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4862... Class warfare is the rancid core of SV tech culture. Barf.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

IMO the stories about the SpaceX ipo, even the ones expressing mild skepticism about the trillion-plus valuation and space data centers and such, should maybe mention how its owner/world's richest man spends every day spreading nazi-adjacent lies on his social media site. Alas.

One horrible aspect of living through turbulent times is the ceaseless fight over what gets committed to history. Was Russiagate a hoax? Was COVID overblown? Was 1/6 a peaceful protest? It feels like the "median knowledge" of these things is constantly shifting even when the facts are 100% clear.

@adafruit.com Hi! I'm loving the NeoKey Trinkey. However, it sits a bit loose in the USB port, making it pretty easy to disconnect/glitch out by pressing too hard from the non-key side. Is there a good way to seat it better in the port to prevent this problem?

About 90% of the WWDC keynote was features I'd rush to disable as quickly as possible. All the jokey stuff felt like it was from a different time. And I have no interest in seeing Cook speak at all. Never have I felt so estranged from the Apple tech community (or the tech community in general).

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

I need to figure out a way to triage my media consumption. Hundreds of books I want to read, movies and shows I want to see, games I want to play, albums I want to listen to. Not enough lifetimes to enjoy it all. And the releases only keep accelerating!

People are now debating what the proper earring placement is.
