Anna Mazzola @Anna_Mazz It's 45 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime. From the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978. While they were waiting at a bus stop in Clermiston, Mr and Mrs Daniel Thirsty were threatened by Mr Robert Clear. 'He demanded that I give him my wifes purse, said Mr Thirsty. 'Telling him that the purse was in her basket, I bent down, put my hands up her skirt, detached her artificial leg and hit him over the head with it. It was not my intention to do anything more than frighten him oft, but unhappily for us all, he died? 3:41 AM • 8/18/23 from Earth • 1.7M Views

That took a turn or two

Guess his wife had killer legs...

I saw them in Manchester and fuck they were amazing. So happy to see them live again

The person who invented the video game joystick has disappeared, they down right up and left.

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

Somebody asking Google Gemini to give them a random 32-character string and it responding with “aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ0123456789”

Lmao this rules so hard

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

An image for episode 4 of The Goth Boss Podcast with the title: Burnout - What it is, what causes it, and how to recover.

This week's podcast ep is a vulnerable one. I get honest about my experiences with burnout and offer insights on what causes it and how to recover.

I really hope you're not suffering from burnout, but if you are, hopefully this episode helps.

"manually edit a generated shader" is a new nightmare scenario I've never considered...

Reading about the latest fun AI programming trends like "prompt injection attacks" and rogue agents deleting repos brings to mind this wonderful tome on writing unmaintainable code and I wonder what this would be like if an AI trained on these principles alone

It is absolutely wild that it is not a commonly discussed part of the AI industry that the "leader" in generative AI repeatedly puts out broken dogshit like this?

Fab couple! Congratulations 🎉

One for my Unity buddies out there - I've made a single file script that detects inappropriate use of UnityEditor in your projects - it will flag these in the console after compile so you can amend your script and never block a build again...

I remember making animations in two colours because you could have a few hundred frames to animate with. Can't remember how many frames you got with the *full* colour palette - maybe 16? Tried to make a version of the helicopter scene from Mission Impossible 😂

Um Lammy Sabbath

That reminds me! I finally completed Castlevania SOTN yesterday and even after almost 30 years, it's a damn fine game still! #PS1

Had to take a step back and remind myself:
- I crushed my original goals
- Everything else was bonus
- Progress isn't always linear - and that's *OK*
Funny how the mind plays tricks even on a solid day. Psychology is half the battle.

But by 10:30am, all four were done and dusted. 🥳
Great start, right?
Then I spent the rest of the day wrestling with a new task I hadn't even planned to touch. Made barely any visible progress, and ended the day feeling... unproductive and deflated 😅

So I turned up on Monday with four bugs that needed fixing. I figured they’d take all day - maybe I’d solve one or two, since one of them had already kicked my butt most of Thursday...

I know nothing about this game but that was ace!

i think of this whenever someone has some shit to say about abstract art

Some choice is great, as my approach may change depending on the time of day. Really like short overview videos to get some bearings. Really like examples I can pick apart and break. And our old friend, documentation (including examples if we're talking code/framework). Then it's tutorials! :)
