Haha. I'd have not put "now" to match Ralph's speech pattern.

Philip Durbin (Apr 29 2025 at 23:16):

Me fail English? That's unpossible.

My first reaction to vibe coding / "you can program a computer in natural language" was to remember what scientific papers and legal documents look like when they try to be unambiguous.
Purely within the scope of this function, we here declare a non-negative integer variable, to be denoted x, with an initial (but by no means fixed) value of 1 ....

Seen that quote before, it's good

https://http.cat

Dan (Sep 24 2025 at 15:09):

Is it just pictures? How exactly is it used?

Philip Durbin (Sep 24 2025 at 22:17):

Well, the usage is https://http.cat/[status_code] so https://http.cat/400 or whatever, but yeah, you get a cat pic per code. You could have a fail whale but a cat.

Dan (Sep 24 2025 at 22:27):

Yes but what do you do with that URL? Do you redirect the user or something?

Philip Durbin (Sep 24 2025 at 22:28):

Maybe you hotlink the image in your 404 (or whatever) page.

You know I might have played it differently.

Dan (Nov 19 2025 at 03:30):

I'd go with vibe_check for filter. yeet for pull

Philip Durbin (Nov 19 2025 at 03:36):

reminds me of Fantastic Contraption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Contraption_(2016_video_game)

Philip Durbin (Mar 03 2026 at 12:25):

Oh, well, I guess I played the Flash version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Contraption_(2008_video_game)

Dan (Mar 03 2026 at 15:14):

Wow so it's like a modern take on Incredible Machine. Not exactly but roughly the same genre.

Philip Durbin (Mar 04 2026 at 00:47):

Oh wow, it's really fun to play with https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs (linked from the article above).

Philip Durbin (Mar 04 2026 at 00:48):

I'm looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Machine but I don't think I played any of these. They look fun.

heyyyyy friends! unusual request but related. A friend has made laugh.town, an events board for local comedy shows. It uses the AT Protocol, so all events shared there are also broadcast to a whole network of apps and websites. And alas, there are no upcoming shows listed in Boston! This I'm sure is untrue, so I need your help. If you know of shows coming up, please send them. If you know local comedians, please tell them about this. If you have a comedy club you enjoy, tell them to share their lineups!
