Maple cream cookies on the far side of the moon
Less than 1 hour until the Artemis II launch.
For the record I think it probably won't explode upon launch or burn up on re-entry.
https://nock.is is a wonderful site full of great info on Nock. I tried designing my own basic combinator calculus, and now I'm really beginning to see why Nock is designed the way that it is. Thank you USTJ people!
We need a drug that makes breasts produce breast ice cream instead of breast milk.
Is anyone building this?
Luau
Compatibility with Lua
Possibly my favourite page of the Luau documentation, lists differences between Luau and Lua. Recently updated as of the addition of `const` to Luau. The page is just so insightful and really gives a view into the minds of the language designers.

...does one have to learn/use/make before they can truly say that they have reached Peak Geek?
There are 2 types of problems โ each starts with one trying something they think will give the outcome they want, then either:
- trying progressively more crazy and insane attempts until something works
- trying progressively more normal and boring attempts until something works

2026 is better than I ever could have anticipated. This is the greatest human-agent interaction in a long time, and I salute the maintainer, the agent, and the agent's operator for their earnest participation. We need more chaos like this on the internet.

Well-designed currency shouldn't need a central authority to print it, manage it, or equally distribute it. With smart enough money, those which currently do work as/for such a central authority will have their jobs freed to work on solutions to more pressing problems which will better benefit society.
(replace "central authority" with banks/governments/companies/NGOs/deep state/divine intervention/whatever fits with your worldview)
Which do you think is more likely: that governments eventually collectively realise that copyright is harmful to humanity and repeal/cease enforcing it, or that generative AI gains enough power to force said governments' hands into doing so?
I stop checking crypto prices for 1 week. 1 week, and I come back to see that Monero has flippened Bitcoin Cash and left Hyperliquid in the dust.
Happy birthday to the greatest collaborative knowledge project of all time. Wikipedia turns 25 today!
Playing Uno actually by the standard rules seems to make it a way simpler, more easily understandable game, whilst actually making it more strategic. The many popular variations tend to end up causing more chaos and pain for the players, especially if they can't be agreed on.
Not saying that chaos is bad or anything, though I do recommend looking through the gameplay leaflet before starting your next play session.
Things that are both good and free are usually good because of, not despite, being free.

1 block at a time, never missing a beat, for 17 years.
Happy birthday Bitcoin!
