"Why programmers like cooking: You peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3" -- Randall Koutnik

"The outside world must walk Israel back from the abyss. It cannot be part of the choir of incitement"
Sorry to give air to the transphobic Irish Times but this article by Daniel Levy and Zaha Hassan eloquently and humanely describes the situation.
Link via @psilocervine on Cohost: Some investigative journalism inside Unity's road to briefly introducing a company-destroying "install fees" policy last month.
The most interesting takeaway here is the whole disaster really was just IronSource, who merged with Unity last year, puppeting the company into destroying IronSource's competitor AppLovin at all costs. An entire art form is a pawn to be sacrificed in a fight between two adtech companies you've never heard of

Our inability to prevent all harm does not free us of our obligation to prevent what harm we can. -- Ari Marmell, @Mouseferatu
I'm currently working on a software synthetiser, aimed at making 8bit sounds. Here is a small demo of what I have so far !
The final goal is to have a library that can play custom songs in realtime and that can be embeded in games. Sequenced music take way less space than recorded music, and makes it easy to add runtime effects, swap tracks and more.
if I had to summarise the last decade of software (web, desktop, and mobile) design using a line from a song, it'd be this one from System of a Down's "Boom!":

A poem by Joseph Fasano. Prepare your heart before reading.
„Všechna náboženství, umění a vědy jsou větvemi téhož stromu. Všechny tyto snahy směřují ke zušlechtění lidského života, k jeho pozvednutí ze sféry pouhé fyzické existence a k vedení jedince ke svobodě. Není pouhou náhodou, že se naše starší univerzity vyvinuly z duchovních škol. Jak církve, tak univerzity - pokud odpovídají své skutečné funkci - slouží zušlechťování jednotlivce...“
-- A. Einstein, as mentioned in Out of My Later Years (1950)
