3rd panic! This time while asleep. I think it's a macOS issue, since googling around only reveals results from the past month or so (one of which is this thread).

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe0015a36e34): busy timeout[0], (60s): 'en10' (1,1800001) @IOService.cpp:5822

Another kernel panic. Hopefully it's just a shoddy macOS update instead of something failing….

Are any of the other typed, semi-widely used, web-platform-capable languages any more fun than TypeScript? I appreciate that it helps me make better programs, but it also makes the entire act of programming feel just… tiresome.

Looking for examples of games where you play cards on a grid, and the grid serves a gameplay function. Like Triple Triad, 7th Continent, or Gridcannon. What other ones are there?

The most important thing here is your code stays loose and open to change, allowing for creativity. Using a big framework instead would constrain the code, making it hard to change.

Slowly drafting a blog post about making web apps without big frameworks, but honestly the summary is:

1. Write super simple JS, using basic functions and built-in data types.

2. Make your functions write to the DOM with lit-html (not the same thing as lit).

3. Re-run your functions in response to events with a "signals" style library, likereactively.

4. Get more events from your DOM with Resize/IntersectionObserver.

Performant, robust, and learnable.

A kernel panic is always a good way to start the day. Wasn't even doing anything interesting. Just typing stuff in Notion via Safari. :|

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xfffffe002648ee34): busy timeout[0], (60s): multiple entries holding the registry busy, IOKit termination queue depth 0: 'en10' (1,1800001), 'en11' (1,1800001) @/IOService.cpp:5822

That feeling when you write a new program blind, without testing or running it at all, and it works perfectly on the first try.

And if all else fails make it an annoying entry at the top of System Settings. That'll do it.

Ah yes, unsolicited push notifications are definitely the way to get people to use your useless new feature. Everybody loves those.

Oh no, macOS updated and told me there's some Apple Intelligence stuff now. What do I have to turn off and where?

Edit: turns out, nothing. The prompt it showed gave no activation information or options, seemingly because my Siri was set to US English and macOS to UK English. This apparently prevented it from activating.

I have a stupid idea and a cunning plan. They involve a procedurally generated responsive pure CSS fantasy map. And some MPA View Transitions.

This may be a weird thing to ask, but have there been any particular advances in the design of personal websites or blogs in the last… decade or so? Any obviously good patterns to follow? I haven’t really paid attention, because everything happens on social media.

1. Feel like writing a blog post for first time in years.

2. Remember my website is hopelessly outdated and needs full renovation before I want to publish anything there.

3. Go back to playing Final Fantasy XVI.

Finally zeroed in to what bugs me about the modern tech industry. It used to be about making new tools, putting them in the hands of users, and watching them do new things.

Today it’s about taking users out of the equation. Making products instead of tools. Limiting instead of enabling. Reducing users to glorified slot machine operators.

In game design we often ask: who is having the fun here, the player or the designer?

Shipping for Linux apparently means you get free QA. Not a bad tradeoff. https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/qeqn3b/despite_having_just_58_sales_over_38_of_bug/

(This obviously has happened to other OSs too, but I feel macOS has been hit worse than Windows, and unlike iOS it’s still at least partially user-tweakable.)
