Private Eye is a National Treasure - possibly the last truly independent investigative journalism in the UK.

Highly recommended if you want to know what's *really* going on in UK politics.

Going over some hikes I've done in the past as I plan hikes for this year. Here's the view from Haystacks in the Lake District:

It was right here I found out I had developed Acrophobia after an ear infection and was the last high trail I did.

"I'm not racist but...." vibes :-/

Dammit! - I have the Bagpuss tune earworm now!

"We will find it, we will bind it,
We will stick it with glue, glue, glue
We will stickle it
Every little bit of it
We will fix it like new, new, new."

"Heave! Heave!"

Can't they just type "Claud, fix this please" ?

I mean that's how it's supposed to work right?

Because we don't need coders anymore.

Thanks for replying. I love seeing these 'simple' systems giving way to complex behaviours :-)

This brings me joy :-)

Can I suggest making the red circles that do damage look spikey - I assumed they were pickups :-(

^ love this

That's too dark and twisted for me!

I'm going to re-read In The Mountains Of Madness and calm down.

I've had two coding discussions this morning with people who turned out to be vibe coders.

One didn't know the crucial difference between repeat-until and a while loop.

The other wanted me to phrase his prompt for him because he lacked the technical skill.

I am getting SO tired of this

I'm just hearing that Rob Grant has passed away.

This is heartbreaking. He and Doug Naylor's work was absolutely formative for me.

Not felt like this since Terry Pratchett passed away.

So - wanna add mirrors to your Godot 3D game? Check out this tutorial! 🔥

Thanks for the info. :-)

I don't know why - but whenever I try to follow links from your website, I end up in a perpetual loop of this:

Pressing proceed to ignore it takes you right back this page.

It's to make you search the rest of the store to make sure they get more adverts / products in front of your eyes.

The whole supermarket shopping experience is designed by psychopaths. From carpets to slow you down, to expensive products at eye level, to baking smells wafting out the door.

Valheim is the only "recent" game that has given me that feeling.

The other drawback is you have to parse the whole line instead of:

if condition:
# the code I'm interested in

else:
# the code I'm not interested in and can be ignored.

I dislike ternaries in general other than for trivial applications (one line if-then-else).

That's a particularly egregious example you posted - it violates the established left to right parsing.

I much prefer PHP's format:

$result = $condition ? 'foo' : 'bar';

Ever want to scale collision shapes without making Godot freak out? I made a little addon which transfers the scale info into the shapes, leaving you with a normalized transform. Grab it here under "Collision Shape Normalizer":

I had this on my todo list for my own projects for quite a while. Thanks for sharing! <3

@misterabk.bsky.social Just listened to the latest Lore Men.

Hotblack! It was right there dude!

(Excellent episode as always <3)

Im 56 years young and I agree.

Fake Job Interviews Are Installing Backdoors on Developer Machines Microsoft found attackers weaponizing Next.js “technical assessments” that trigger C2 the moment you open the project in VS Code. Three execution paths, same backdoor.

Just a quick heads up for any devs looking for work:

(Never run unknown code on your main PC, always set up a virtual sandbox)

I spotted it immediately - good job!

That's pretty much how you do a one handed spin in bo-jitsu. It rolls across the back of your hand.

Why not both? :)

You can use nodes and resources just like components (adding collision shapes to rigidbodies for example)

I'm always happy to help out with code, unless it's obvious vibe coded slop (not saying yours is obviously).

Stick at it mate - I started in Unity from a systems dev background and switched to godot when they started with the licensing shenanigans.

Node based makes *much* more sense once you 'get it'.
