Let's also hear it for David Shire's fantastic theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXD_g0cSpw "I figured it out. They're gonna fly the train to Cuba."

Apologies for hijacking an advice thread, but I'm another dad who's had to deal with this incompatibility nightmare, and I really really want to know what the hell happened within Microsoft & Mojang to end up with this mess.

This is probably naive of me, but avoidance of a real sandbox sounds like a great idea so far: 1: Apply the Principle of Least Power/Privilege, especially where agents are involved. "With great power comes astonishing fuckupitude.

Yeah, it's a shame. I usually enjoy Raymond Chen's posts, but this doesn't tell me anything particularly interesting other than that the band didn't know. The main question I have is: why this video? What's the stor

Dan Davies wrote a whole book on this topic, The Unaccountability Machine [1]. In it, he creates the concept of "accountability sinks": organisational structures or systems which abstract the source of a decision away from indiv

Serious question: would it be worth the effort to treat XSLT as a compilation target for a friendlier language, either extant or new? There's clearly value in XSLT's near-universal support as a web-native system. It provides templ

I'm talking about network compatibility, so that a Bedrock client can join a Java server and vice versa. It's clearly somewhat possible because GeyserMC[1] exists. It's just ridiculous that it's a third-party addon. [1

Thanks so much for sharing your work. Your blog posts are _far_ more interesting and helpful than most of what I'm seeing about agentic coding. I'm particularly fascinated by those last two links, along with your latest post about

Hey, if we're already complaining about Microsoft products, can someone explain why the Bedrock and Java versions of Minecraft have not been made cross-compatible in the TEN YEARS since the Mojang acquisition? (... speaking as another

Take the spoiler warning seriously. The landing page is fun to play with (once you find the tools in the top right corner) and has at least one amazing/bizarre toy in it.

Yep. Enter The Gungeon is my personal favourite among roguelites but it's punishingly hard to get the hang of, and the huge number of weapons makes it quite likely that you'll only get semi-decent guns for an entire run – even whe

Dead Cells's "Custom Mode" lets you eliminate loads of objects from the set offered, making it much more likely for you to get weapons you want. It's somewhat unique among the roguelites I've seen in not only offeri

I LOVE that you let the player tweak those variables in the mechanics. Many of us want to be able to relax with a nice comfy game for half an hour, and "comfy" means setting the difficulty just right . My partner used to relax wi

Disagree. Some abstractions are still vital, and it's for the same reasons as always: communicate purpose and complexity concisely rather than hiding it. The best code is that which explains itself most efficiently and readably to

When I worked at Second Life we'd often have work meetings in-world. It was fun, often silly, but also productive. Ultimately, it was a voice conference with decent audio and tinker-toy visuals, and we could dogfood and demo our work.

Horizon Worlds continues to look like a product with leaders who don't actually want to use a virtual world, or understand the appeal. There is no amount of money which can fix that. Until that changes, it won't be anywhere near a

Thank you for reminding me of Frink. Alan Eliasen's work is a delightful rabbit hole, and I'm so glad he's still maintaining and improving[1] Frink. [1] https://frinklang.org/experimental.html#FrinkTNG
