Bad idea of the day: A lootbox service for public-domain work – every month you get a hardcover of a PD book & a vinyl of a PD recording
Reading about Web Prolog & it reminds me a lot of the work I did on Mycroft. I wonder: how will routing work here? If fully-qualified predicates have an explicit hostname component, Web Prolog can go fuk.

Hot take: it’s important to distinguish ‘junk food media’ (i.e., stuff that, regardless of technical competence, will succeed by delivering on purience) from ‘premium media’ (works whose popularity depends on craftsmanship).

Impact Is Now Free & Open Source
My HTML5 Game Engine Impact launched almost 8 years ago. The last update was published in 2014. While Impact still works nicely in modern browsers, it lacks support for better graphic and sound APIs that are now available.

Thursday is the appropriate day to make sacrifices to Compound Interest. Use a gold altar cloth. Compound Interest prefers sacrifices in the form of burning dollar bills, but twenties will work in a pinch. If you cannot make money, store-bought is fine.

Well after 4 hours of work, I finally think I solved all my client side calculation issues. I have no desire to screw with it again
Does unicode also work? 💚☎
