A friend and I entered the #FallingBlockJam!

Here’s what we made: ailurian.itch.io/block-rain

This time I learned my lesson: in jams, publish for web!

We didn’t get to finish everything (and there are some bugs), but it’s pretty playable... once the initial shader-loading stutter passes.

I cannot fathom how anyone could think that having museums makes you appear weak. Trying to convince others that knowledge is weakness seems like (and likely is) an evil plot by those who want you to be ignorant and easily manipulated.

That's one of humankind's greatest flaws: being unable to plan long-term and only seek instant (in the grand scheme of things) gratification.

Since I was a kid in the 80s, I loved cartoons with animal characters like Get Along Gang, Gummy Bears, and Swat Kats. My fondest memories, though, are of Care Bears. If you're like me, there’s a Kickstarter you might like to check out.

I joined PyWeek #39: a week-long game jam to build a Python game from scratch (using publicly available libraries, and media is allowed, though). The theme was "Downstream."

Here's what I came up with:

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Yup. That's me.

Happy New Year everyone!

I can’t see a reason they could have for not including nullable types, as it would be so useful, and not having it makes typing useless in a lot of cases. Besides, there has already been at least one (ignored) PR implementing that.

I'll be as happy as you are kow when we get nullable types.

I remember Clementine! Here's another French cartoon I think nobody remembers.

In México I guess it was called "Las aventuras de Zorraz"

I can confirm.

Imagine believing a dip (that looks delicious btw) has a political agenda.

So fitting that the old, insufferable network is now called "ex".

Anyway, I'm glad to be here. This seems to be a much saner place.
