I'm using the standalone Tailwind CLI, which means I don't need to have any trace of node in my repo. It has a watch mode which I run while coding - that makes sure that any new Tailwind CSS directives I add to source code get add

I can't disagree about the irresponsibility of the IA when it comes to the Emergency Library stuff. But I for one would be pretty heartbroken to lose access to the absolutely enormous catalog of live shows from a ton of bands that IA h

I recently started a new blog / personal site, replacing an old Jekyll blog I hadn't touched since 2016. This time I decided to just write plain old HTML, with the minor concession of using Tailwind for styling because I wanted to

While I share your annoyance at needing dotnet on my system, since I don't use it, dotnet has been cross platform for quite some time. You don't need a Windows box to run this code.

IFS is the "Internal Family Systems" model of psychotherapy. I'm coincidentally in the midst of reading No Bad Parts, which was written by the originator, and covers the basic ideas behind the practice and gives some instruct

This is so cool. This is the kind of thing that convinces me that human powered art isn't going anywhere. Sure, AI can pump out nice pictures, but the creativity and vision it takes to make something like this isn't going anywhere

I _strongly_ doubt that physical labor jobs like plumbing will be replaced within a few years. I spent a year working in welding automation and folks wildly underestimate the difficulty of automating real physical tasks like this. And that&

This is very close to what our company does, and I think it's a great process. We like to give a two part problem - something relatively simple like an "early-December" Advent of Code problem. We give the first portion as a t

Please do - Consider Phlebas is good in its own way, but it's a lot different from the rest of the series. Player of Games is a great entry point, but I think Surface Detail might be my favorite. It might be my favorite sci-fi book I&#

Oh yeah, that is a good one for sure! Definitely hits a nerve when I look back at the last few years.

As long as they're discreet, they have my tentative permission to go about their business. But I will provide selection pressure towards discretion if I happen to be startled by their appearance. Spiders are slightly higher class citiz

I have to give it to Unsong, but that's a hell of a long favorite. My favorite bit in Unsong is the chapter where God gives an answer to the problem of evil, but there are so many other good bits in there too. Meditations on Moloch is

That's just not the case at all. You can certainly buy mods from the Minecraft store (or whatever it's called). But you can also write behavior packs and make skins and textures without paying for anything (besides the base game).

A quick google suggests nicotine stays in your system for just a few days after quitting. I realize of course that it's hard to just quit nicotine on a whim for a few days, but I imagine most could do it for the sake of a job.

That raises my eyebrows... How do they plan to validate this? What's to stop one from just... lying?

I tend to agree, and I find myself doubtful that this will remain the status quo for very long. As soon as these things reach the point where they could realistically be used for something like a Disney movie, all of a sudden there will be

Yeah, I'm aware there are some legitimate uses for crypto, apologies that I came off overly dismissive. My point is mainly that the use cases for GPT/LLMs are pretty glaringly obvious to anyone with an imagination and should be pr

The city I live in recently passed a ban on "flavored tobacco," which includes (for some reason) vape products. While this ban has not taken effect yet, after it does, the net effect will be that full strength cigarettes like Marl

Right, every time I see the AI hype compared to crypto my brain breaks a little. As far as I'm aware crypto never saved me a minute of time, but even in a pretty conservative accounting, ChatGPT has shaved a few hours of tedium off var

Meanwhile, states and cities are trying to illegalize vaping while leaving cigarettes on shelves, not to mention continuing the criminally stupid "war on drugs" in ways too myriad to count while retaining one's sanity. _sigh_

It really does kind of take on new poetic meaning as posted. Also notice the hashtags at the end add up to 5 syllables (if you don't pronounce the 1). Weird, but cool. Edit: whoops, no they don't, but I submit that this is simply

Wow, kudos. I don't see any way on Mullvad's site to donate to the cause... I might just have to buy a second Mullvad account for a few months to support them.

I remember thinking the Optimus was _so fucking cool_. I think when it was first announced I was still in high school, and I wasn't even a programmer yet, so the utility of it would have mostly been lost on me, and the price tag was la

Ah, you just triggered fond nostalgia for me, of pillaging my dad's stash of batteries for my ever hungry Gameboy Pocket. It ran on two AAAs and my parents must have lost a few sanity points from my constant requests to stop at a gas s
