Of all the updates in today’s brew update && brew upgrade, the last one I expected was an update to a game originally implemented in the late ’70s. And yet, GOFAI/dungeon is now at 4.1.
our getwtxt (registry server on https://twtxt.envs.net) is now on Version 0.4.13.
Wise choice of the evening: deciding to pause Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol when sipping my can of La Croix.

What a match. Ingolstadt was leading 3-1 and 4-2 but Munich fought back and won 4-7! #INGvsRBM Also 5th regular time win in a row, so Munich remains unbeaten in the new season. Seems this season will be a lot of fun again.
I genuinely wonder how many times I’ll try and fail to host my own VCS yet. The counter is at 3 or 4 now.

Hot take: the lack of targetting effectiveness in Cambridge Analytica & Google Ads doesn’t excuse it. There are 4 sins here: taking the data, trying to target with it, targetting poorly, and overselling targetting accuracy. They compound.
Hot take: the whole ‘you need to code in your free time’ is partially justified by the way a 4 year CS degree doesn’t remotely prepare you for an entry-level code-crunching position.

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.
While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more
