What I'm listening to today: "Slub", STU

The Atari home computers probably deserve more cred in music production; they had a working MIDI/DAW ecosystem back before Windows was viable or Macs were affordable.

Anyway here's a 2017 Atari ST tracker song I just really like. Chiptune you can just *almost* believe could have been a synth pop song in the 80s. The hook in the second half slays me, there was seriously a day last week I listened to this song like five times.

Après des mois de lobbying de la part des copaines (coucou @stephaniewalter), j’ai enfin commencé Dungeon Crawler Carl à mon réveil à 8h30 ce matin.

Étant donné que je viens seulement de m’arrêter de lire, uniquement parce qu’un impératif biologique m’a tirée du lit, je pense qu’on peut dire que j’accroche bien 👀

C’est exactement le genre de lecture légère dont j’avais besoin en ce moment 👌

Why not have a Majority Leader debate?

Here is a thought. How about Schumer and Van Hollen agree to a public televised debate to discuss the issues, their respective agendas, plans and priorities?

Just because it has never been done before, doesn't make it a bad idea. Why not inject some democracy into the Democratic Party?

Jag skulle verkligen föredra regeringsförhandlingar helt utan kommunikation med omvärlden. En konklav, som i Vatikanen. "Ni blir inte utsläppta förrän valet är avgjort."

the more a piece of software turns from "program with a purpose" to "platform with a prospectus" the more the code gets overgeneralized and slow, hard-coded behaviors are replaced with dynamic adaptive configurable options, extra abstraction layers appear so that design decisions can be deferred forever and mutually-contradictory concepts can coexist, and then you've got yourself a nice, fertile landscape for ambitious product managers to really make a mark by adding a new button feature suite

@gnomon do they even make grammar checkers anymore or just LLMs

@JMMaok The article gets into that a little further down. (Nvidia has Side A, but not B or C.)

AppIntents: new ToolIntent 👀

‘A _tool_ is an AppIntent that Siri can create, configure, and invoke to better respond to a person’s request. Siri can call a tool from a specific app when one or more situations apply to that app’

@hyc @ireneista @bytex64 I would simply write a portable assembly language

things work a lot better when you're emulating the correct processor.
