I really wanted to like the Cairn demo - but they really decided that style was more important than legibility or communication of information to the player.

Good piece. Growing threat to Labour from Greens on the left flank has been evident for a number of years now - clear in local election results, in polling, and in last year's general election. Polanski has increased this by (a) boost membership - crucial reource (b) increasing attention to Greens

Levels of bad faith on the right must be really high for Fraser Nelson to break ranks.

Suspect this would be highly variable by type of business. For example, polling usually finds windfall taxes on energy companies popular. People think big business should pay costs of climate action.

Nvidia App vs Nvidia Control Panel is the *perfect* example of the sort of UI design failure I always complain about.
The Nvidia App is built around aEstHetIc considerations - the control panel is pure engineering functionality.

Oh wow, my functions are colour coded, but I can't cursor with the keyboard because someone decided that โžก๏ธ means I want to skip over my parentheses?!?

Bring back the era of ugly, functional UIs created by programmers.

Whoever is in charge of Excel's UI team needs to find another job. The obsession with aesthetics over functionality is really deteriorating the user experience.

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.

Badenoch's brain should be studied. Visibly believes that she has put the hours in working while all her policy suggestions are just obviously picked up on Twitter without any critical thought before they end up as policy. Visibly confused as to who was in office 2010 to 2024.

08.10.2025 10:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 194    ๐Ÿ” 25    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 6    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

Badenoch moved to the UK in 1996 - so is she talking about her experience under New Labour?

Every UI that works correctly is a little miracle, isn't it?

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

I just have no idea who the Tories think the audience is for full bore authoritarianism plus austerity. Very few who want the former want the latter.

I think it shows just how powerful the government of the dayโ€™s ability to agenda-set really is. โ€œHow do we winโ€ is the governmentโ€™s only real vision, and as a result British politics is uniquely obsessed with the next election too.

Spent a stupid amount of time trying to debug a loop over a set of arrays. Couldn't work out what the bug was.
Turns out that it was my custom draw() function that was to blame. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ #godot

I just released the first version of my little procedural generation visualizer! I have made the source code public as well, so feel free to look around. ๐Ÿ‘

I watched a lot of godot tutorials and I think I might just try to start some game project that I never finish lol

Funny way to check multiple conditions in #Godot: Check if "true in array_of_conditions". Probably slightly slower than chaining OR-statements together, but imo tidier.
