It's been great watching this game come together. Plants who keep humans in little pots.

I just created the Apple Game Dev discord. It's for discussion of game development on all Apple platforms and frameworks, as well as gamel engines that target Apple platforms.

If this is anything like the one I attended last spring, it is well worth watching.

I was thinking John Skull-y

Also explains that executive order forbidding the government from doing business with the ACME Corporation

Certainly explains one of the possible nominees for head of ICE

Anyone here remember Fluke (later Floops) the VRML animated series from SGI?

A sarcastic comment from a slack channel speaking in the voice of GPT-5, saying, "You're absolutely right! 52.8 is a smaller number than 69.1, let me change that graph for you right now. It was incredibly smart of you to catch that, thank you!"

A cropped screenshot from this morning's OpenAI live streamed GPT-5 announcement. A bar graph of SWE-bench results shows the bar for GPT-5's score "without thinking" of 52.8% as being about 30% higher than the bar for OpenAI o3's score of 69.1%. In an inset image in the lower left, a person is talking.

Everything you need to know about #GPT-5 in one simple graph.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Every day some senior game dev posts their "I've been in the industry for 20 years, here's how you do it" guide, and step 1 is "be in the industry 20 years ago"

The child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, driving his wagon with frightened children screaming behind a barred window in the wagon.

Also, the frog in slowly heating water thing turns out not to be true. At some point, the frog gets uncomfortable and hops out.

That is a fascinating result, given how many people die in hot tubs every year (couldn't find a statistic, but it's likely around 100 or more, based on the numbers I found

(Gave up and switched to Xcode, that is.)

I really wish that Apple and JetBrains could have reached a meeting of minds so that AppCode could have kept up with Xcode.
Do you remember the time we were trying to pair program in AppCode, and gave up after about half an hour?

This just means RFK Jr will try to ban dental floss.

It’s not the platforms. It’s the payment processors who have the power to bankrupt the platforms with the press of a key. Give Visa and Mastercard a call and let them know you don’t find that acceptable.

The most painful part of Xcode refactoring isn’t having to right-click. It’s that Xcode can’t do even the most simple refactorings that IntelliJ IDEA has been doing since January 2001.

“This is not a place of honor…”

No cheating, post the last pic of your pet.

Cooper laying on my desk next to a banana in such a way that it kinda looks like it’s stuck up her butt.

I think it’s time to start rating CEOs by their VORL — Value Over Replacement LLM.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Now granted, there was no "buy" button in the Music App that took me to the iTunes Store, so it took me a while to remember how to buy stuff.

Business. People. Numbers. Money.

I just bought some music in the iTunes Store last weekend. It plays fine on my iPhone, even though I don’t have an Apple Music subscription.

Because he became too woke.

The correct metric for posting is not "is it good" it's "does it expand the possibility for human joy by those willing to receive it"

I’ve been doing iOS development for so long that I know how to spell wenderlich 😂

What about you?

I think the thing that makes conspiracy theories so seductive is the belief that if you can somehow unmask the conspiracy, it will be magically destroyed, just like when the One Ring was dropped into the fires of Mount Doom.
