If the golem becomes ensorcelled, the coven may need to assume operational burdens related to ensorcellation and the golem’s fel status. This may cost extra mana points.

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

I don’t know if anyone remembers former Labour councillor, change UK defector, and regular Twitter main character Frances Weetman, or her creepy reply guy, occasional Twitter main character and arch-transphobe Alex ‘Rubie’ Rubner but they’ve just had a massive falling out over race science. part 1/2

Someone just sent me a very clearly vibecoded PR with a hardcoded 'true' variable which would ensure that an entire branch of the code could just never execute? And they didn't seem to notice?

I've been looking forward to this for a while - a new tool for making grid-based puzzle games! I haven't used it yet but the design goal seems like it might be "what if PuzzleScript was both more powerful and more approachable", which is very exciting to me.

I went to a (mostly very good) tech conference today, but then the keynote speaker pulled a "why are you still hand-rolling code? Give yourself to the machine god" at the end. I spent years of my life on this and I'm still only halfway good at it.I don't want to give up my basic understanding of it
