We launched Whip on May 21 and it went viral, around 350,000 views across X and LinkedIn. From the outside it looked like a moment. It was actually a month of quiet, unglamorous work, and this is the whole thing written down. A lot of people asked for this after the launch, so here it is. No...

It's that time of year again. "SCOTUS season" has begun. The end of June is traditionally when the weightiest Supreme Court decisions are handed down, as the high court ends its judicial year and begins a summer break that will last for months. The weightiest of the decisions still yet to be...

Here are my takes on the news for this week. It's worth what you paid for it. Compromised accounts pushing AI-generated code into Fedora, AI lawyers winning real cases, AI replacing HR, autonomous weapons, insecure AI-written software, and the growing tension between centralized AI power and the...

Kant writes: only three [forms of sovereignty] are possible: namely, either only one, or some in association, or all those together who constitute the civil society possess sovereign power (autocracy, aristocracy, and democracy …). The division of the sovereigns into “one”, “some” or “all”...

While building Vulcard for the Game Programming Lab at ETH Zurich, we accumulated dozens of individual sprite PNGs for icons and UI elements. Loading each as a separate texture works fine early on. It’s not how you want to ship, though. Every SpriteBatch.Draw call that switches textures flushes...

In 2014, Otto Penzler published Bibliomysteries: An Annotated Bibliography of First Editions of Mystery Fiction Set in the World of Books, 1849-2000. It's a useful book when one is hungry to read a bibliomystery, for the entries often give a sentence or two about the relevant book or story to...

Then my phone buzzed and the disappointments of the waking world crashed through my fantasy. More real-life violence, more gore, more senseless death, more darkness where once a light burned free of extraterrestrial brutality. Not even my day off could be spared.

The old Games Unlimited in Pittsburgh was the game store of our childhood. It’s where we went to buy RPGs, modules, dice, and a whole pile of miniatures. We rummaged through the shelves in the far back and then greedily carried our treasures home on the bus. But now, decades later, they have a new...

Several years ago, before I cared about rpg blogs, I unsuccessfully tried to run a game of City of Mist. There are many reasons why it didn't work out and they all have little to do with the book or system. The premise stuck with me though. It's just a really good setup: mythic concepts incarnated...

Why don't I go there? Yes, nobody stays there long enough, as if she cared, maybe she sill thinks about the things I said, the words she said to me were so banal and yet in my memory they glow bright like embers in the darkness of a cave, my mind is a bit like a cave, and I really don't mind the...

There is something intriguing, if frightening, yet hopeful, about transitions. When change is in the air, we can hope it will be good. Dawn and dusk are poignant times of the day as we see a new beginning with the sunrise and, strangely, a new beginning with the sunset that signals another day...

There comes a moment when love shifts from racing excitement to a quieter, steadier peace. Many worry something is wrong, but often the opposite is true. This calmer love may be deeper and more lasting than we first realize.

I’m a fan of the probably-apocryphal Jerry Seinfeld “don’t break the chain” advice. It works for me. I even have an app for it. I’ve written at least 750 words for 661 days straight (2,329 if you don’t count the times I paused for a few days for Burning Man); jotted down two things that made me...

It was a realm where time didn't exist and love was as natural as breathing. But higher realms are places of absolute peace, and a soul cannot...

When it comes to reviewing code, the descriptions, commits and such can be massive blast of information: Full of extraneous details depicting what was changed. The main point is why was something changed. And often in only one huge commit with...

It’s time to celebrate America’s landmark 200th anniversary. “Wait a minute, Andy. Don’t you mean 250th?” Oh, right. I did hear about some to-do back on July 4, 1776. Yet 200 years ago, exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, on July 4, 1826, both John Adams...
