I'm still on Sonoma (14). And it pisses me off that there's no easy way to upgrade to Sequoia (15). I really don't want to touch Tahoe at all.

I found it extremely easy to find the "macos sequoia installer" to download from Apple's servers. Literally those search terms will do it; download -> install.

Admittedly it would be "easier" if Apple gave you the choice of which version to upgrade to in macOS, but that's generally not how software is provided.

Open the Mac App Store and search for Sequoia.

https://apps.apple.com/app/macos-sequoia/id6596773750


This doesn't work for me. I see it in the App Store but it says not available for my system and redirects me to the Tahoe update.

edit: worked after second attempt (via macappstores://apps.apple.com/app/macos-sequoia/id6596773750?mt=12 )


For me - Aes Dana (Season 5 is still my favorite) and Carbon Based Lifeforms (Hydroponic Garden, World of Sleepers, Interloper).

Actually, check out the whole Ultimae catalogue: https://bandcamp.com/ultimae


Carbon Based Lifeforms are amazing.


Their album World of Sleepers is my favourite from them.


Sadly they peaked pre 2010 and then slowly became average.. Was huge fan on the days and saw them live once and DJ set another time..


I guess I agree (used to be a massive 90's EBM collector together with my ex, though I kind of got out of the loop of EBM end of 00's / start of 10's). Seeing a Woob album from 1994 recommended a few comments below <3 for CBL, I do like the track ~42 degrees.

How we used to find music: go to the record store every week to listen to whatever you couldn't afford, look at P2P networks at people who like similar music as you, and browse their collections. Eventually, use Discogs to search. Or simply talk with other people (at parties, on the internet) who also like the same music.

How we can find music nowadays: Spotify (and such). I mean, seriously. Their suggestions can open you up to a plethora of new artists. If you then look at the top 10, chances are you'll like some of their work. I found a lot of music this way, for all kind of genres. As Valve's Gabe used to say: piracy is a service problem. Though I am not sure Spotify is so good for the artists, given they earn pennies via that.

..and it is still nowhere to getting and downloading and listening 24/7 to every new release (or, well... trying to), using SMB to the NAS (which automatically gets the releases from a scene FTP) and Winamp locally to add some .m3u files.


I was there a couple of months ago. It's truly a beautiful and extremely calm place.

There's one quote from our guide that I remember: "We are a small nation. We watch what our neighbors are doing and pick what will work for us."

Another impression I got (and I may be totally wrong) - the locals genuinely love the royal family. There are pictures of the king, his wife, and children literally everywhere. As someone who grew up in a communist country and is familiar with seeing portraits of "beloved" leaders everywhere, this seemed like something totally different.

The people are very respectful - no one tries to sell you things or bother you in any other way.

Highly recommended destination. Hope it doesn't change anytime soon.

Also the whole ecosystem around OXS looks very promising: https://oxc.rs/


Both of those have over >400 dependencies each [0] [1] but just in Rust instead - there hasn't been a Rust supply chain attack yet but is this any better? [2]

Admittedly you're not normally downloading the dependencies to your machine as you're often using pre-built binaries, but a malicious package could still run if a version was shipped with it.

Wow that’s terrifying.


Nice!

A couple of years ago, I tried something in that direction[1] using Phaser[2], and it was quite fun. I used Tiled Editor[3] to create the map and some pixel art that I purchased from itch.io.

[2] - https://phaser.io

[3] - https://www.mapeditor.org/


Tiled is really great. I'm using it in a project that I occasionally poke at as well, only with Love2D, and as a sidescroller sort of project. I was impressed by how easy it was to set it up to work with my game in spite of how generic it is.

The functionality to export directly to lua source files was a particular treat, though there are probably situations where you'd want to still just use json or one of the other formats supported by Tiled even when working in a lua project.


Anyone trying to implement the Tiled API probably needs to reference this: https://eishiya.com/articles/tiled

It's a bit vague in some places (I'm still not exactly sure how parallax is supposed to be implemented) but absolutely worthwhile.


I'm not sure if it's the proper method, but I actually did implement parallax in my project, though I just did it by essentially creating a layer which I marked as parallax and then had my game draw it with a parallax offset from the rest of the map depending on the camera position.

https://doc.mapeditor.org/en/latest/manual/layers/#parallax-...

These docs do seem to go more in depth about the canonical values related to parallax that Tiled offers though.

Major hm... analytic tools... like MixPanel support this.


Such an amazing article. Hope the author continues with the rest of the content in the same manner.


Nice! This is almost in the same league with Bartosz Ciechanowski's articles - https://ciechanow.ski/


Bartosz is a huge inspiration to me, you can likely tell that there are plenty of things he does in his post that I'm emulating in mine. It's maybe the best compliment you can give me to compare my work to his. Thank you.
