Someone who doesn't really know what he's doing. Likes to talk about stuff that interests him, occasionally tries to do art, wondering why he wrote his bio in the third person.

In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done.

This is a really bad idea. The last time #PermanentDST was trialed—in the US in 1974—the trial had to be ended six months early because kids kept getting killed by sleep-deprived drivers. Granted, we should get rid of clock changes, but adopting permanent standard time is the far better choice as it lines up with our natural sleep cycle.

One idea that's been in my head for a long time is a story told through diffs. As in, there'd be a short story, but there would be different versions of it. And what's changed would be highlighted (because I'm not evil) and the changes between each version of the short story tell another story.

It would be absolutely fantastic if I could make it work, but I don't have the slightest idea where to begin

If you send me a .docx file, even if I can technically open it, I will ask for a different format. It’s not okay to send/share .docx files (unless its to someone in the same workplace/org that provide Microsoft Office or whatever slop name they’re using now).

Try as I might, I just can't think of a situation where an autonomous LLM would actually be useful. I won't let it anywhere near my file system, or let it connect to the internet. Maybe it could read my emails, but then I'd have to double-check all the emails to make sure it summarized them properly, because what if one of those emails was Actually Really Important, and at that point I'm just doing more work than reading my own emails. Because why would I delegate stuff to a machine that can't accurately tell if there's a FIRE?? Which is a cut-and-dry thing to someone that can, y'know, think?

How is #Matrix nowadays? I know they've made progress on stamping out decryption errors, but have they worked on moderation tooling too?

Hmm. So I got around to trying to set up #UnoCSS and it is not what I need. It looks great, don't get me wrong, but it seems to only be geared towards the #AtomicCSS methodology. I use the #CubeCSS methodology instead, so I need the generated utility classes inserted in the middle of some pre-authored CSS that I wrote myself. I'll keep looking

It's not my whole wishlist, but I still got a couple of nice albums for #BandcampFriday 😊

Project numbers are underrated. I started using them just a bit ago, and it's so nice not having to come up with a working title. Because working titles are hard sometimes!
