Maryland works to replace parking lots at train stations with dense housing & mixed use development.

Maryland announces $1.25 million in grants for development around rail stations
The announcement comes as Maryland is trying to double down on a bet that transit hubs can help turn the tide on climate and housing affordability issues.

"When I ask if you’re talented, you’d better say yes. Not in a boasting sort of way, just a quiet confidence: ‘Yes, I’m talented. I know I am.’ You need that. And you need persistence and you need patience, and that’s not contradictory."

Blow to Chancellor as UK economy shrank unexpectedly in May

Blow to Chancellor as UK economy shrank unexpectedly in May
The UK economy contracted unexpectedly in May, marking the second month in a row of falling output and heaping further pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.1% in May, following a 0.3% drop in April. Most economists had expected the economy to rebound […]

I merely remark that a form of littering - that of wrapping single sided packing tape or double sided carpet tape between lamp posts on a street (or across a street), with a small notch cut onto the edge of the tape every six feet, can be a useful non-lethal way to slow the advance of a phalanx of people of troops.

Toronto Star: “New numbers reveal 10,000-plus Ontario college layoffs, 600 programs cancelled or suspended over past year”
The bloodbath in our higher education system in Canada has gotten NO press even though provincial governments and likely federal KNOW. This is the first in depth article I have seen. ALL governments micro-manage university and college policy/finances, no matter what they might say to the contrary.
Here are some truths you need to know:
Yes, I am biased as a 25 year employee of a University.
Yes, my University has also had completely unprecedented cuts in the past 12-24 months, with more coming.
Yes, it is because of the loss of International Students and their tuition revenue. Without that loss, many domestic enrollment numbers have actually been growing, but the money per student is orders of magnitude less. (ie. International was a cash cow)
Yes, faculty and even many admin, have been warning about the government downloading funding onto International tuitions for decades.
Yes, government will claim they are “investing more than ever”, but this is usually about Capital expenses (buildings, residences, infrastructure) or meeting contractual increases for staff salaries, *not* operating expenses.
Yes, in BC in the 1980s 80-90% of a University or College operating budget was covered by “base funding” from the province. Now, it is often below 50%. (If this makes you ask… is it still a “public University system”, please do!!)
And finally, yes, if we want to consider ourselves a modern country, we cannot possibly think this kind of contraction in educational opportunity (while domestic tuitions continue to increase!) is at all healthy for our society as a whole.

Yes, of course the Texas flash floods disaster was fueled by man-made climate change. Duh.
And I'll predict the outcome of the attribution study too: "We conclude that it is extremely likely that the Texas flash floods were made significantly worse by climate change."

> [Miyamoto] views games as ‘products,’ not ‘works of art.’ I think [his] perspective is what leads to game development that’s more aligned with the user.
Interesting lens to view art vs product: my interpretation is that art is for the artist with emphasis on the act of creation whereas a product is for the end user and the emphasis on the final experience.

1/ My older kids from my previous marriage phoned this evening. My daughter (10) asked if she could have a second piercing in each ear and my son (7) asked if he could get a piercing. The kids then told me that mum had said yes, but that they would have to ask me. This is not ok as I have to be the bad guy on my own if I disagree. Their mum needs to talk to me if they make a request like this, before anything is said to the kids. I need to message my ex wife to make this clear.

HyperCard was magnificent. Still is.
The HyperTalk language was cool — but even cooler IMO was the way the dev environment mixed code with direct manipulation of the UI. There are lots of problems with that approach for generalized Ui development, yes, but the experience of it was magical.
Unity and the like have a similar editor structure — edit UI objects, attach code to them — but the feeling is totally different somehow.
