Space Shuttles, if we're committing to the metaphor.

Oh man, we actually used hunspell in one of the games I worked on. Interesting tidbit, thank you!

So, how do you explain "fruit," "advice," and "furniture" to someone who is:
1. Not a native speaker.
2. Doesn't already speak the language.

Well, you'll be happy to hear that this is consistent with most European languages!

"Vegetables" are countable because you can count individual vegetables!
"Fruit" is uncountable because you...eh.
Whatever, English. Whatever.

Then again, I've said this for years, no language is weirder than English.
"Countable" and "uncountable" are alien concepts that have no grounding in the physical reality of the world that everyone learns by heart, and then we all collectively pretend that it's normal and logical.

Yeah, so I think we can all agree that auto-complete, as a general thing in coding *waves hand vaguely*, really needed a new coat of paint, and I think we got it. I don't have to do boilerplate = I can do more gameplay. Like that part.

If you're in Unity, Cursor is decent. The Visual Studio extension for GitHub (whatever it is called) technically works well, but it's pretty bad at coding.

Yeah, that has been really helpful for taking repeated photos of the back of my router.

Last night's WWDC was like, "Oh, are your transparent buttons now a different type of transparent? Incredible."

I haven't seen any point in buying new phones since iPhone X (besides the phone being like, physically broken). As a consequence of everything being SaaS now, I'm not even sure I care if it's an Android or an iPhone anymore. I'm absolutely buying whatever's cheapest next time I have to get a phone.

Anyway, here's a 5-second Gemini app that generates design pillars with a press of a button, created to illustrate the above message: g.co/gemini/share...

I feel attacked. I have a lot of hobbies: I watch Netflix, YouTube, eat Pringles, and listen to Spotify on the way to work.

I have a lot of hot takes about some of the current localization setup we have in the industry, in general, but I think I'd better keep them to myself, heh.

I honestly expect some dumb fringe movement or another to pick it up any day now. Musk's own daddy just attended a conference in Moscow, where it's basically their main symbol.

I can think of two different tricolor flags you should have a problem with. Coincidentally, all three of these are placed prominently in St. Petersburg.

There used to be, anyway.

I am extremely in favor of a space game about ESA (as opposed to NASA). Also, to go with the French theme, DONTNOD went with one of my favorite tracks from M83 as soundtrack.

Russians romanticizing the USSR are, by and large, imperialists, and they know exactly what they are doing.

You're not a Trotskist, you're Laika. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Took me a second to find the report button (see attached), and Steam lists specific options to pick from. I went for "violation of local law", listed glorification of war crimes + breaking of international sanctions, as the Russian army is directly involved.
