Oh yeah, I keep telling myself I'm going to work through the raylib tutorials at some point. Still hasn't happened. Probably doesn't help I play games in that downtime instead of thinking about making them.

I was a little kid when Morrowind came out and I remember the first time I saw it. My family got takeout and we had rented Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. My older brother wanted the couch to himself so he could lie down while we watched the movi

I find it odd too. VOIP services for gaming have been doing it a long time. It seems most people only unmute when they're speaking anyway, don't know why the big conferencing solutions leave it out.

I've kept everything in a single text file for a few years now. I store it in github and have some scripts to sync it, append to it with a time stamp and do some other things. At the start of the day I look at yesterday's entry, a

I was getting some dude's email for about 7 years. Started with newsletters and discussion threads for a journalism guild and a teacher's union. I found that amusing and left it, but one day emailed whoever was in charge and let t

One of my scariest adulthood realizations is that doctors are like everybody else; fallible. And that being certified means you're good at studying, but doesn't always mean you're good at what you've studied. Not trying

I'd also argue Infernal Affairs has a far superior ending.

Where I live is subtropical, and there are times in summer where the grass seems to grow tall overnight. For the rest of the year you can get away with mowing every two or three weeks to keep it under control. It's the striving for con

Here in suburban Australia, in my street anyway, there's several households that do it multiple times a week. My neighbour mows every other day. I had a neighbour in another place who was on his ride on mower every afternoon at 5pm. Th

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm going to track down a copy. I read Lakota America last year (funnily enough also a recommendation from HN) and really enjoyed it.

I read Blood Meridian a decade ago and still have some mental images burned in with perfect clarity. My favourite (not to say I'm fond of the violence, rather I'm fond of how a novel created such vivid images in my mind) is when o

Interesting that there's another version of the story where "intelligence sources" say the culprit is Russia. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-10/russian-agent-suspect...

My feeling is a lot of that is driven by recruiters. It's probably a lot easier to sift through dozens of resumes by looking for keywords. It's a bit shit though. There's plenty of jobs I'd like to apply for specifically

Probably my split keyboard running QMK. It's a Sofle I built from a kit. It forced me to learn to touch type, and after taking some time to setup layers I can now reliably type code at 65+ wpm. That's a big improvement for me, and

Had a Kaweco Sport for all of university and several years after until it finally broke. I now have a Sailor Pro Gear Slim that I'm very fond of. I use Sailor Seiboku ink but my favourite is Pilot Tsuki-Yo. If you do a significant amou

I'm not an expert in seismometry, but I think there'd be quite a lot of challenges to overcome. Off the top of my head: I don't know how precise iPhone accelerometers are, but modern seismometers measure on the nanometre scal

I built a split keyboard recently (Sofle) and it's made a huge positive impact for me. Having halves at shoulder width and full control over the layout with QMK is great, and it finally got me to learn to touch type. If you're con

Although I don't own it, I've been interested in https://ploopy.co/mouse/ . It runs QMK (open-source programmable firmware) which I've had a great time using with my keyboard.

I too look stupid, but not in "so ahead of everyone I look stupid" way, or in a Socratic ironic way, just stupid. It does mean I can ask dumb questions and keep up with what's happening, or propose dumb ideas and sometimes th

It was a manual process for me personally, finding them through message boards and forums (I know that's not much help). I'd also use https://www.music-map.com . /r/listentothis on reddit is also a good source

A dislike button would be handy. There is that feature on some of the generated playlists, but I don't think they do anything. My two biggest issues with Spotify right now are: 1. Release Radar filled with re-releases and remixes, ofte

State machines are handy, and along with modelling they can be implemented directly. A simple implementation is you define the possible states for your application, or module or whatever, and the valid transitions from state to state. You a

I've dropped the "best" for "better" or "good" for a while now. I also don't have a problem going to a colleague with more experience and who I know puts out good stuff, and asking them what they thin

This makes me think of the spate of mental health initiatives I've been seeing in workplaces over the last few years. It's a cynical opinion, but I can't believe anyone actually cares. Things like team "check in" ca
