sometimes when you've had a day so bad, all you want is low frequency cat vibrations

i am getting more sqlite errors in JS than in go. That doesn't even make sense JS is a disease

i wonder if for the word 'syzygy', there are astronomers and astrophysicists for whom the word still has no real value even they know it just as a piece of trivia

the absolute joy of writing const app = express(); for maybe the 100th time, but like the previous 99 were 10 years ago. thanks to @dimden.dev for making express the fastest again

if tech youtubers can just read articles and make a lot of money on it. If i train a TTS on their voice and sell it, that should be considered fair game right? or if the authors of said article, used their voice to TTS the article back

loading screens with rotating tips/random facts seems such an easy win which basically every app misses out on. i dont see why the development cycle should not have a 'dev but on slow 3g' phase, making EVERYTHING which depends on a network slowdown including copilot.

this is surprisingly approachable. i legit thought i am going to be clueless, but it seems i can make out vague direction arxiv.org/pdf/1207.7214

web dev would be a lot efficient if there was some way to zoom out but with the window bounding box in large rectangles, just to see how the page looks on a large 2d surface. i suspect we could make for a lot more creative animations

@acollierastro.bsky.social hey do you know of creators of similar style to you? long slow semi-technical videos, the kind where they're thinking about what they're saying. [asianometry] may be a decent example (also hi from the opposite end of physics, quantum-land)

veratasium is very close to being a full documentarian with 2 hr long well research documentaries from his own perspective Twisting the Dragon's Tail was great but it was a lot more storytelling than research and he's become a lot more efficient in 10 years since at doing both

the thing i'm worried about is whether AI will decimate the "flow states" of knowledge work. i realize this is very selfish. i enjoy being in a flow state. i don't want to constantly be babysitting an unlearning intern who repeatedly violates instructions. even if they eventually produce good work

i on the other hand having no experience at video games have died at the hands of the boss at the tutorial for a 2 weeks straight now

one of the most fun thing about the ignobel prize is that if asked to describe a study in under 24s, anyone with a proper procedure and paper can just read out the abstract of their paper

this is the best thing to happen to documentation since devdocs.io youtu.be/0SX7zjE5cuI

apparently engineers spell 'i' as 'j' how do you make a spelling mistake in one letter
