Seconded, though from a different angle. In my experience, it's surprisingly hard to live frugally when you don't have a job; my spending actually went up at first because I had all of this free time for activities I didn't h

I’m wrapping up a 4 month stint at a fancy hotel working as a valet attendant. My job responsibilities as written were parking cars and helping with bags, but the unspoken expectation was that I also greet everyone who passed by my desk. Th

I worked at a family-owned bike shop, at a fancy hotel as a valet/porter, and picked up a few shifts at breweries/events. I’ll be jumping back into software in a few months but it’s been a refreshing year of doing something differ

I’ve taken the last year off from software engineering and have worked a mix of jobs that primarily exist outside the magic circle of the internet. I think one thing that surprised me was just how little computers were used; there was some

True, though road bikes (even the new 12 speed ones) still use a 2x system on the front. TT/triathlon bikes sometimes use a single chainring as well since they don’t need to climb

I hadn’t considered that! Since I’m using canvas, I’d have to roll my own selection code since what’s displayed is just a bitmap. But I may fall down that rabbit hole someday :)

I rolled my own easing function (taking the square root of the progress, which is a number between 0 and 1) because I was missing the vocabulary to search for a proper one. Thanks for the link!

Breadcrumbs and hyperlinks are great ideas, thanks! I’d love to see something similar for film projectors, let me know if you end up building it.

Thanks for the feedback! I disabled the text animation for the time being. There is a note about the star nut if you click on the headset top cap and then explode the headset, and I also mentioned QR vs thru axle briefly when talking about

I disabled the text animation for now since I can see how it would be frustrating. Maybe later I’ll go back to a line-by-line reveal since I still like the aesthetic! Content-wise, some of this stuff I’m still learning about and hope to fix

It's set to 3600 characters per minute here, so 60/second: https://github.com/nlemoing/bici/blob/main/bike.ts#L451

Thanks for the feedback! I think the text speed might be an issue with my implementation: it adds a single character on each animation frame with a WPM speed limit, but this would cause problems if a device isn't able to animate very q

Yes, but filling a grid in a way that satisfies all of the regular expressions is a much harder problem than matching a single regex. Semi-related: generating fill for regular crosswords is NP-complete: https://www.sciencedirect.

Your last point is a good one. I started in math and had to take a few CS courses (which I ended up switching into), but I had almost no exposure to subjects outside those two. At least here in Canada, it feels like electives are de-emphasi

For those curious, the +'a' after the space is a unary addition operator that evaluates to 'NaN'.

I know what you mean about the distracting animations! I tried to set it up so that the animations would pause if they weren't in focus. Having an option to manually trigger the animations would be a good next step. I definitely apprec

When I referred to knights as weird, I was thinking more of how their movement patterns are incongruous with rooks/bishops/queens that move in a straight line but are blocked by pieces in the way. Their weirdness is what makes the

Glad you appreciated it!

Yeah, that's true! The reason I looked into this in the first place because the basics of movement in chess are fairly straightforward until you take a look at some of the weirder edge cases. Knights seem like the simplest out of the &

I came across his channel recently and have been watching as many videos as I can. His channel reminds me why I got into computer science in the first place.
