@ipaschke oooh, I didn't check on nethack in a while, nice to know that it's still being worked on 👌

@Lana Retroactively, of course. Problem is, that would result in Boris Johnson pooping on the street (OTOH, not much different than what he's been doing anyway).

@morganth thank you, now I have "Baby Shark" stuck in my head 😖

Chuck Norris doesn't have nightmares. Nightmares have Chuck Norris.

@lauren reminds me a lot of Matrix and their phone booths 🤔

@vinterkarusell I'm in this post and I don't like it. 😑😅

@TabascoEye Based on what you mentioned, Alastair Reynolds and the Revelation Space series might be good 👍

P.S. According to some promo documents, the London city tank can accelerate at 1 m/s². A back-of-the-napkin calculation gives me an estimated weight of ~100 MT for the thing, which means that it would need a minimum peak power output of 50 GW to accelerate, assuming 100% efficiency 🤯
(For comparison, the world's largest nuclear power station in Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, Japan, has about 8 GW. And in the movie, they're using a single coal-powered engine. Make of that what you will. 😑)

Mortal Engines (2018, Netflix).
After WW3, London essentially gets converted into a humongous tank (2.5 km long) that roams across Europe and gobbles up smaller towns. WTH?
That's the gist. There are some sub-stories about an undead robot, a power-crazed scientist with a superweapon, a love story, daddy issues, etc. but all of those take a backseat to the gargantuan city-tank (and the special effects).
Visually impressive, less so otherwise.
4/10.

@pndc I admit it's been a while since I used Python extensively, but I didn't feel like the standard library was particularly bad? Any specific parts youre thinking of?

@cryptohagen apparently the one thing LLMs are really good at is finding vulnerabilities in open-source code 🙄

@gsuberland I've read about NOISFERATU today and I think that fits like a glove: https://hackaday.com/2026/06/30/bite-into-strange-sounds-with-noiseferatu/

"Wait... wasn't it... burn the _heretic_... and... stab the xeno... or... or..."
"Are you daft, Wulfric? Or did that psyker scramble your brains to mush? There's 10,000 Tyranids at the other end of the canyon, and they'll be here in 30 seconds. So you better grab your flamer and get ready to burn some xenos, unless you want to be canned bug fodder, har! FENRYS HJØLDA!"

@frogglin relatable 🤔

@abulling I've seen a bunch of students use them as cycle baskets, for example, seems to be trendy somehow? 🤷

Apparently so many people are "borrowing" milk crates from Arla that they now have started putting "Have you seen them?" ads on the milk cartons 🤭

Has anyone found a plausible explanation for why Trump is apparently sabotaging his own MOU with Iran before it's even halfway out of the gate? Did some right-wing talk radio nutjob call him out for not being tough enough, or has Putin complained about oil prices going down? The mind, it boggles... 🙄
