Printing the physical zines in exapunks as a reference was very cool, and a good throwback to when games shipped with boxes and detailed manuals. Spacechem was my intro to Zachtronics, and it consumed me when it came out. The concept of ins

I've got this setup recently via pipewire! With something like barrier for kvm, it's great! I have an alias on each side -- one gets a new source, the other a new sink. audio_recv='pactl load-module module-native-protocol

Left to his own devices, I found Claude liked to copy the code under test into the test files to 'remove dependencies' :/ Or would return early from playwright tests when the desired targets couldn't be found instead of

I have the Kinesis Advantage 360 which is split but has all the non-numpad buttons. I do spend lots of time in Emacs, but also use it for plenty of gaming. Just remap in-game to ESDF and only use the left hand. (Or set up layers, but I&#x27

I'm making a game finally! Merge-three + village sim. Hoping to actually take this one to something polished as opposed to the many half-finished prototypes littering my git repo over the years. I've discovered (always knew?) that

Semi-related; One of the Zelda DS games required you to close the DS (so the top and bottom screen met), which moved a mark from the top to bottom screen. Was infuriating for me, only figured it out after closing the DS in frustration. Not

Down a lot now, but likely peaked in the 70s -- Kids growing up then are likely 50-60 which are the higher turnout voting brackets. There's a lagging effect from lead exposure, so it's difficult to pinpoint when those exposed woul

I wonder how much this is causing the worldwide swing toward authoritarianism. Lead exposure can cause lower conscientiousness, lower agreeableness, and higher neuroticism.[1] Especially considering the age of people who actually vote and w

Yeah, having all the defaults for system keybinds be on super is really nice. It feels like macosx lucked into this with their historical use of command as the modifier, but I also wish I could easily replicate. Instead I just go and remap

It's harder to learn the impact of your design decisions -- Seeing how software evolves to meet changing business goals and how the design choices made play out in the long run helped teach me a lot. Coming up with a neat API that turn

I've thought about this a lot in relation to typescript over the years and had various opinions -- For some time I thought it'd be better if there was an implicit `await` on every line and require `void` or some other keyword to b

I was just trying this -- you can even do in-browser typescript compilation. But I was missing hot-reload -- Constantly switching between the browser and my editor. A refresh timer helped, but wasn't quite the same snappyness.

I'm pretty happy with our setup, though we use flags mostly for feature releases and only have a few long-lived ones. State kept in a database table indexed on customer. One row per customer/flag name, only there when the flag is

There was one in London I used to walk past all the time. It was a neat experience to shop there once, but the selection was very slim and ocado was even more convenient. I'd always peek through the windows and it never had any shopper

Levitt has his own podcast, "people I mostly admire." Interview format. I really enjoy his questions and perspectives. He asks things I don't really hear from other interviewers.

I'm really glad they exist! These days I mostly use wine via Proton/steam, but used cxoffice back before LibreOffice / google docs. Today I just use crossover to run Quicken, which it does as well as Quicken runs anywhere. Th

I'd love my trackpad and mouse be separate -- It'd be nice to have the trackpad maybe constrained to the laptop screen and the mouse cover both the built-in and external one. Maybe possible with XINERAMA and assigning a mouse to a

Agreed the lack of closure was frustrating. Stemming the tide maybe? Don't want people to leave when they see a respected or well tenured person leave / get laid off? All happened after an acquisition, so I'm not sure if this
