This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

Data-driven Enterprise solutions

Daily reminder that GDscript supports the Sumerian clay table alphabet, Akkadian cuneiform of ancient Mesopotamia. This is perfectly valid code you can write in your game:

Potato Salad for lunch

Sometimes I like to dream about amazing and fantastical worlds like what if drivers knew what a crosswalk was

i don't know why everyone keeps calling them "data centers" instead of "medians"

i'm always thinking about how much I love the trains in vancouver and how there should be more of them

Oh no I'm getting around to playing ball x pit

nobuo uematsu is possibly the most famous and well acclaimed video game composer of all time. indisputably he's in the top 3. and i'm gonnna say it: he's probably still underrated

heres a helpful tip: stop buying cartridge razors, which are one of the greatest scams ever perpetuated on humanity. spend a bit on a nice metal handle and then just buy safety razors for basically nothing for the rest of your life. you're welcome

I’ve seen enough. Give the Falklands to Cabo Verde.

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan—IMAX had not yet been invented in the Mycenaean period, so this is not the aspect ratio that people saw in! Smh

I respect France's commitment to not working on a holiday.

Where on the World Wide Web can I find the original version of Oregon Trail? Elle Wood was playing it in Elle (somewhat anachronistically bc that’s set circa 1995 but whatever) and I want to show tween what it was actually like (amazing, perfect).

One of my favorite things about the Tour de France is the fact there is a “most aggressive” rider award. They literally give you something that says, “We don’t know if that was smart or even good but we like the way you did whatever that was.”

I think theres a @friends-table.bsky.social episode about this

older games often have a display centric approach to real-time rendering, like, painting lighting into object textures was very common, or straight up using photographs as textures this lets you take very direct control over the look! modern rendering is different (short thread)

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (2002) how the did they get the water to look like that, this is incredible I don't mean the reflections, look at the shape of the wave as it moves, the lighting, the glow.. This and the game loop are **amazing** and needs to be studied This is lost technology oh my god

this exploitation model--perks, rewards, and special services that entice the target to spend more time gambling--is precisely what casinos have been doing for decades (see Schull, Addiction by Design) and tech-gambling has been rapidly workshopping in the past few years (see Cassidy, Vicious Games)
