Lukewarm take: Apple should call their new device "iPhone (13th gen, late 2021)."
iPhone. iPhone Pro. iPhone SE. That's the entire product line.
Less Duke Nukem, more Samus.

There once was a singer of old
Who then broke away from the fold
He won't give you up
He won't let you down
In a word, you have been Limerick-rolled

This 💯 And I’d even say you’re going to be a *better* engineer if you’re kind. Why? Because others will want to learn from you, so your knowledge and skill will spread, and other will be eager to help you when you find an area to grow.

Good morning 🌞 You can be a great engineer and be kind. The two are not mutually exclusive.

i was wondering how "pico racer" does engine noises, given there are no built-in functions to modify sound effects... turns out it literally modifies the memory containing sound effects #pico8

"Why are hyperlinks blue?" by Elise Blanchard https://blog.mozilla.org/en/internet-culture/deep-dives/why-are-hyperlinks-blue/
Incredibly thorough history. I love stuff like this.
I just picked up "Sayonara Wild Hearts," and it's as incredible as everyone says it is.
Between that game and the comic "Goddess Mode," I'm starting to notice a distinct "hopeful cyberpunk witch" aesthetic. Tarot cards made of lasers. Mythical beasts that are also computer viruses and also metaphors for overcoming adversity.
Is there a name for this genre? Any recommendations for more stuff like this?
Streetwear is so weird sometimes.
Birdsite thread from the guy who built the engine for Sonic Mania: https://mobile.twitter.com/CFWhitehead/status/1229643740412694528
"I've been iterating on engine tech for over 10+ years, and the biggest accelerator to quality is having team members who use your tools daily and hold you accountable to it!"
Carpenter Brut's cover of "Maniac" is my jam. If you've ever wondered, "What if synthwave, but also heavy metal?", here's your answer.

"Accessibility to me means hard-core usability. You make it work for extreme cases and thus make it better for everybody. And by thinking like that, accessibility work isn’t a chore or something we need to do to be legally compliant, but it is a quality feature of our products."

Fun fact: web accessibility overlays just make accessibility problems worse.

My Palm Pre is now 12 years old, and it's still the one mobile and platform I wish I could resurrect.
Such a promising and lovely device.
