New formulation: "There are three types of complexity: inherent, engineered and social". Hint: nr 1 is the easiest.

I've got a pure Swift Metal renderer and bindings for libghostty-vt. This will enable libghostty users to basically drop a package into their Swift/Xcode projects and get a full blown terminal (emulation, rendering, or both). Coming soon... Note that Ghostty itself has always been Metal-rendered on macOS, but Ghostty has a really complicated generic renderer and font subsystem meant to work across any combination of graphics API or font API. This, on the other hand, is a pure Swift Apple-ecosystem (macOS and iOS) only package for libghostty embedders.

Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. goo.gle/4fBYnWO We've recently added many our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun... Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

I had Claude Fable 5 build Minecraft from scratch. 45k lines of Swift + Metal. Hand-written renderer, every sound synthesized, fully deterministic, zero dependencies, no game engine. Open source 👇 github.com/thebriangao/pebbl…

I'm late to the party, it's an amazing party though. Loved the ambiance and graphics of this game. The sound track to foreshadow the robots is fantastic. Glad to see games from my hometown too!

I never thought I'd be passionate about IdM -- Identity Management -- but here I am. Continued 0 days since I just couldn't do the things that I needed with the accounts I have. "Our system has been upgraded - to login you have to reset your password".

I was going to play, but now I'm debugging email servers instead. How did we get here? I'd rather blow on my cartridges instead.

Computer languages that tend to gravitate their text to the left as opposed to deeply nest things to the right are more pleasing to the eye and easier to understand in my opinion. Or maybe this is just style? What's your take?

I don't mind paying every year for a new version of a software, i.e. voting with my wallet actively. I am allergic to automatic software subscriptions. Sad to see that paying for software is all going subscription model. Now I have to find alternatives to some of my staples.

Time to sponsor and buy a couple of more copies of Sublime Text (sublimetext.com) and CodeRunner (coderunnerapp.com) etc to make sure they don't go out of business :)

In hindsight we should have fixed the hash mismatch problem more robustly. So much time wasted watching these blue screens after loading!
