The score is by Chris Christodoulou - who also made the music for Risk of Rain which is amazing. Highly recommend this piece of art.

You think you’re tough and 15min audio can break you

I cried
I clenched my fists
I closed my eyes to get more immersed, only to open them cause it was too much

I highly recommend listening to first two episodes in one go

@wookash_podcast Listening... noticed the score is by CHRIS!!! As in Risk of Rain Chris. Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.

designing loops is so outdated. if you’re not astral projecting to become one with claude, you’re ngmi

[Anthony Reddan @AnthonyReddan]

This was such a great time. Learned a lot, met some awesome people, saw some amazing projects. Hyped for the future of handmade software.

[Ben Visness @its_bvisness]

The Handmade Network Expo was a huge success. Enormous thanks to everyone who attended!

I love being in a room full of people who love programming so much that they are willing to fly halfway across the world to geek out for a single day. The Handmade community is amazing and I am so happy to be a part of it.

Huge thanks to @abjmakes for organizing this ill-specified event, and a particular thanks to Global Relay for the use of their beautiful downtown event space. I also would like to thank all our presenters: @frogtoss, @gdechichi, @leddoo_dev, @starfreakclone, @struc_ture, @antovsky, @nicbarkeragain, and all the other community members who brought their laptops and showed off their passion projects.

And of course I want to extend a special thanks to @cmuratori, without whom none of this would have ever happened. 12 years on from the start of Handmade Hero, it’s clear how much of an impact he’s had on all of us. I’m glad to be able to keep building community around this way of programming.

Also Casey is pretty good at DDR.

That is all.

[Friendly Neighborhood Butlerian @TheOneButlerian]

Yup. Outsourcing your control and decision making to a Slop Slot Machine is why AI doesn’t make sense in the Arts. Whatever it spits out, you can’t explain why you “chose” that detail, because you didn’t choose anything.

@indianloonie Also they're at the end of their lives, they don't give a fuck about the future or have concerns about their children or grand children and how they will make a living

[Michael Labbé @frogtoss]

It is going to be an inspiring week for programmers in Vancouver. I'll live code with Grain DDL in front of an audience at Handmade Network Expo hosted by @handmade_net at 10 sharp, with video published for everyone later.

Live coding on a language you implemented is a type of performance art only a programmer can pull off.

Going first means I get to hang back and watch demos from @antovsky, @nicbarker, @gdechichi, Leddoo, @starfreakclone and @struc_ture afterwards. Let's go.

[Michael Labbé @frogtoss]

Announcing Grain DDL: code generation by and for demanding engine developers.

Define your structs and data once. Write custom generators for protocols, save files, language interop, shaders, databases, more.

No macros, no metaprogramming. Generate reviewable code on every keystroke. 300kB compiler exe. Windows, Mac, Linux.

Closed beta applications are now open - link in replies.

#BREAKING: Psaki: The people who spent months saying you were going to bankrupt NYC are the same people now supporting the ridiculous $1.776 billion fund. What say you?

NYC Mayor: “…there is a politics across this country that is completely at peace with the idea of spending billions of dollars to enrich those who already have more money than they know what to do with, and what they are offended by is 
the idea of spending that money to help those who have been left behind by our politics. It just shows that it’s all a question of priorities, it’s not a question of what’s possible.”🤔

[Some Random Profile @SomeRandough]

@BladeoftheS Everyone keeps saying cloud PC, but there's no way that would be interesting. Businesses need their hardware, normies don't need powerful machines, and gamers have rejected every cloud gaming project to date.
Maybe a PCI-e AI chip or something.

[bashbunni @sudobunni]

a big part of the coding process is the refactors along the way. Scaling your solution to handle more edge cases, understanding why things need to be organized a certain way.

You can't learn those lessons by outsourcing that journey. That makes you a user not a developer

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

Yes, the physics is very basic. Everyone who paid attention in school knows what will happen. But putting yourself in the line to demonstrate it is still pretty badass.

[Panos Karabelas @panoskarabelas]

I can finally share some of the cool things we’ve been working on for this BeamNG update, Direct3D 12 renderer, improved shadows, screen-space shadows, subsurface scattering, and a lot more. Super excited for everyone to experience all the visual upgrades!

[Kevin Parry @kevinbparry]

My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down).

What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

[Irushi @Im_IrushiK]

Opus 4.8 is insane, nothing will be the same after this model 💀

[Wassim Alhajomar @Wassimulator]

TWO weeks is all it took to implement an insane amount of updates, ONE PERSON.

[Guillermo del Toro @RealGDT]

[2/2] Since I don't ever make this kind of video, I'm sure it could be done a lot better, but hopefully it gets the point across. I'd love it if people who specialize in this kind of video started looking at the broader issue.

I have difficulty arguing that most of the writing changes suggested in gmail now aren’t improvements, but it does tend to wipe out my particular authorial voice.

Open source will be greatly diminished due to mass obfuscated license infringement. Your licenses may as well be letters to Santa. The path forward will be paywalls and codesharing within curated communities.
