Using CSS to accomplish weird outcomes is fun. 😎

irgendwie vermisse ich bei mediziner:innen manchmal eine gewisse abgrenzung zu anthroposophie und anderem humbug. ich finde es ja persönlich sehr comfy, wenn meine ärztin klar erkennbar wissenschaftliche methode anwendet.

Yesterday I had a quite enlightening seminar on visibility for marketing. So now I will just visibly do work and offer that to others. This seems more pleasing than worrying about the perfect marketing strategy and partaking in a bunch of dreadful activities like LinkedIn slop and a million […]

I keep making diagrams of the polycule (as in loosely connected social network of polyamorous relationships) around me. and it just grew to feature a fully connected pentagram in it. I am astonished by the mere existence of that.

A very confusing thing about the current bubble is that everything remotely related to machine learning (or just data analysis tbh) is called AI now for marketing purposes. This makes a little hard to distinguish slop from useful tech.

I'm so busy networking this week in hopes of finding some clients for the baby software company @theJayWay and I are launching. Not the mode of work I am used to, if I'm honest, but it is surley interesting to leave my comfort zone (Neovim) occasionally.

Coming up with an ethical sustainable business model is kind of hard, but I think we are slowly getting there. I am getting slightly tired of the narrative of AI being a necessary part of everything though.

I was embarrassingly unaware of the fact that brainstorming in groups is indeed less efficient than everyone having a go at a solution on their own first and then comparing notes. 😱 https://doi.org/10.1207/s15324834basp1201_1

[de pol] Anhebung der #pendlerpauschale ist mal wieder so eine unsoziale fossile Idee. Es entlastet natürlich nur jene, die hinreichend viel Steuern bezahlen und das auch erst bei der nächsten Steuererklärung. Und es setzt natürlich ohnehin den falschen Anreiz weiter so viel Öl zu verbrauchen […]

I signed up to @inventaire and ended up scanning a bunch of my books with it. I like the idea behind that platform. Just in case you are curious about what I read or even want to borrow some books… 📚 https://inventaire.io/users/millicat/inventory

A so called "vibecruiter" from Neuralink tried to headhunt me on LinkedIn because I know Rust and Nix… I'm not even sure if that's a real person or just an LLM trying to siphon talent for their nefarious purposes. Sometimes I find it hard to maintain a professional tone on that platform.

Vielleicht kann ich auch mal das Hive Mind hier für Feedback benutzen. Wir erwägen gerade Firmennamen und sind aktuell bei "Lilienpixel Studio/Software" gelandet… Wie kommt das an und was assoziiert ihr damit? Angenommen wir würden für euch als Kund:in arbeiten, womit hättet ihr uns beauftragt?

Meine Partnerin und ich haben uns mal auf dieses Programm beworben, um unser hoffentlich bald gegründetes Gamedev-Studio zu supporten: https://games-bw.mfg.de/developer-boost/ Ich bin mal gespannt, ob das was wird mit dem sehr rohen Prototyp, den wir da als Basis genommen haben. Anscheinend […]

Gotta give it to Claude Code developers: they are exceptionally brave. I would’ve been straight up embarrassed to show stats like this. Reminder: Claude Code is a thin CLI client that reads input from your terminal, sends it to Antrhopic servers and prints back the response.

Yes, the #eu has a lot of regulations. But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago. Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no […]

Was für ein tapferes Mädchen. Eine Sechsjährige (!) zeigte den Polizisten bei einer Verkehrskontrolle das SOS-Handzeichen und rettete so vermutlich ihr eigenes Leben und das ihrer Mutter und des Geschwisterkindes im Säuglingsalter. Sie waren vom Ex-Partner der Frau entführt worden. Toll auch […]

[food] I felt fancy about dinner tonight.

"doing that manually doesn't scale", read: "if I actually pay skilled workers to do this properly, this business model isn't going to make me a billionaire."

Some realtalk and call for help (thread): for a bit over a year, I've been somewhat regularly organizing the domestic #nixos and #RustLang meetups in #mannheim and #heidelberg. What started as a somewhat spontaneous collaboration of two people that went to university together quickly moved into […]

I made an analog radio as a digital toy as a prototype for my current project: https://myonenpixel.itch.io/toy-radio Does it feel good to play with? 🤔 #indiedev #gameDev #godotengine (side note: I switched from Bevy to Godot for iteration speed 🙈)

I have been cooking up something new. Let's call it a revolution simulator ;) I am looking for volunteers to do one-on-one playtest sessions to figure out if the concept even works – it is a digital board game so far and I am unsure in what direction to take it […] [Original post on neckarwie.se]

climbed a hill in the Vosges 🤩 #cycling

[sarcastic vent] Apparently, I subconsciously consider suffering a virtue. Thanks, Jesus, I guess.

I find it annoying that, as soon as a library/language/tech thingy becomes mainstream, the documentation is harder to find because of copy/paste sites like w3schools and a thousand bloggers vying for ad revenue providing almost zero value over the official docs. and if they do provide value, I […]

There is this cool game jam coming up to create interactive music videos. I may take part, haven't decided yet. Anyway, if there are musicians here, this could be of interest to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oPzHvBu4o0 #indiegame #gameDev #music

I just released the last update to Orbit Escalation (for now). 🪐 Feel free to check out the new build! 🚀 I will let the game rest a bit for now and revisit it in a few weeks. Stay tuned! https://myonenpixel.itch.io/orbit-escalation/devlog/972392/orbit-escalation-v013 #indiedev #gameDev #bevy […]

[programming vent] alright, Symfony/PHP is slowly rivalling J2EE and Angular on my list of most hated technologies. a local dev server that spits out the logs from the last run and you only notice by looking at the timestamps?! under what circumstances would that even be useful behavior? the […]

gf: what are you doing? me: working for a client. gf: on a holiday? me: holiday? what holiday? gf: … me after checking calender: ooh 🙈 freelance life, I suppose.

I just released a new update v0.1.2 for Orbit Escalation: Check it out, a lot of details changed since the last version: https://myonenpixel.itch.io/orbit-escalation/devlog/969219/orbit-escalation-v012 #bevy #rustlang #indiedev #indiegame

I have been working on some UI design ideas to make the resource import/export situation more clear in Orbit Escalation. https://myonenpixel.itch.io/orbit-escalation #indiedev #gameDev

the more I learn about game design while developing a game with bevy, the more I realize, how engaging the rust compiler's game loop is to me. for example, resolving compiler warnings has a similar emotional impact as finding hidden puzzles in a level. #rustlang #bevyengine

Ich hab eigentlich gar keine lust mehr zu bloggen, aber hilft ja nix, man muss ja Bullshit von Frau Klöckner dokumentieren. Frisch im Blog für euch an den Geräten! Die Diskriminierungsarchitektin: Wie Julia Klöckner queere Sichtbarkeit systematisch demontie […]

Orbit Escalation prototype v0.1.1 released! 🚀 After some very helpful feedback from early playtesters, I spent last week refining the UI and gameplay. Check out the new version: https://myonenpixel.itch.io/orbit-escalation Devlog […]

My attempt at making the orbital connections easier to read. #bevy #indiedev #rustlang

Today I have been toying with this very stylized shading technique for planets. Limitations do help focus on the important aspects. #gameDev

not sure if this is a hot take, but: occasionally single letter variable names are locally better than spelled-out semantically readable ones. for example, when the structure of the expression is so complex that you want to see it at a glance and not hidden between repeated words, i.e. when […]

Acting on some of the feedback received after my recent prototype release: orbital transfers are a limited resource, but that was not as apparent as I thought. So I added some visual cues for players to notice the relationship. #gameDev #gaming #bevy #rust

It was so instructive to release the prototype of Orbit Escalation and receive a bunch of feedback. That gave me a much better understanding now on what I actually need to work on vs. what I thought was important. Thank you for all your comments ❤️ If you have not played the game yet, feel […]

Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website 🐰 Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them 🦝 Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it […]

I just released the prototype of Orbit Escalation, the space transit simulation game written in #rust and #bevy of which I have been posting screenshots and short recordings over the last weeks. Check it out on itch.io […] [Original post on neckarwie.se]

It’s so exciting that the whole world now gets to experience instance admins repeatedly subtweeting each other on their respective shitty social media sites

I'm battling interplanetary overcrowding issues today. 🚀 #gameDev #bevy #rust

more planets! #gameDev #rust #bevy

I used to like Asana much better than Jira, that overengineered project management tool for serious enterprise™ with inefficiently strict hierarchies. Over the years, Asana has been adding more and more features, none of which I actually need, and the core functionality feels slower and less […]

Passengers/cargo travel on shuttles from planet to planet now. I want to release a first prototype for play-testing at the end of the week to get some feedback if this is going anywhere fun. #gameDev #bevy #rust

Today I am adding passengers to the game. #bevy #rust #gameDev

Okay, so beatboxing to prototype sound effects for #gameDev is kinda fun. I should have thought of that before scrolling through hundreds of asset packs on various stores. 😅

An interesting bug: I added sound effects to my prototype and it broke the shuttle launches: the shuttles would (sometimes) not launch and the orbits would not despawn. after a few rotations plenty of transfer orbits were left unused. It turns out that shuttle […] [Original post on neckarwie.se]
