Is there a good word for "obvious" that doesn't have negative connotations? When I see something like this it makes me think about how a spreadsheet structure is "obvious" - but I mean it positively! It's a bea

by eieio 2y ago
Yeah, I think that gets at the fact that it's typically "obvious" what you mean in context - which is part of why I think the TZ database names can feel so off. Why in the world do you need that much precision?! (We of course

by eieio 2y ago
One point from this article that I think is great is: the TZ database maps pretty poorly onto how people think about timezones. In the states, I think most people I know are familiar with "eastern time" or "pacific time.&quot

Hi! I do not know enough of the relevant math to appreciate what you're doing here (yet); I am going to try to do some reading to understand this better, but if you have any advice on where I should start I will gladly take it.

I need to learn more linear to be able to appreciate this! Gonna do some reading. very fun to have received so many pointers here, hopefully I'll be able to do a follow up blog once I've finally let people find all the good UUIDs

Ah this is great - I tried finding a modern-ish list of max browser heights while writing the blog. Do you mind if I link your comment in an update? (I'm also super curious how those numbers were chosen and about what would start break

eieiogames@gmail.com is great (or whatever's best for you on https://eieio.games/whats-my-deal ) I think the biggest rabbit hole I went down was trying to use FEAL (which is very breakable) and exploiting the things tha

I considered this, but I'd just be so unsatisfied if I finished scrolling through all 2^128 rows and realized I'd seen some duplicates!

by eieio 2y ago
FWIW I am super interested in this question but feel like I don't know how to derive a satisfying answer, maybe because the one of my goals here (add "enough" entropy) is a real fuzzy "I know it when I see it" sort

I'm so sorry - we'll start working on a feature to redact UUIDs after we figure out how to handle GDPR compliance

I'm really happy that the trick was magical to you - I was so surprised and delighted when I realized that this was possible, and I wasn't really sure if anyone else would feel the same way! And of course, I'm proud to be pro

alright, a fix that I think covers this crash and a few others I found as a result is rolling out now. for a while I thought I had an off by one error, which was pretty funny to think about in the context of trillions of items. but in fact

OH! Thanks for the precise reproduction steps, I had done my testing with a trackpad and had missed that! Writing a little fix now (I'd hate for you to not be able to see the last UUID)

oh hm, i thought I had fixed every case where that popped up. I can't reproduce the issue on any browser on my machine - how did you jump to the bottom (hotkey, scrollbar, scrolling for a trillion years) and what platform are you on (i

Yeah browsers have started adding better support for controlling this but it's super inconsistent! I'm working on some other webcam stuff, I think i'll make myself a little widget to make this easier to control (someone actua

Hi! Glad it works on mobile, this is the first time I've really tried to make something that worked on mobile and i was pretty nervous about getting it to work for everyone. 1. I heard this a few times during playtesting, but I thought

hi, I'm the developer of this! The game does need to download a model[1] to do the face tracking, and right now that does happen after you enable your webcam[2]. but once that model is downloaded the game runs fine with wifi disabled a

Most of the bots were in python or node afaik. Bash would be a little hard because you had to send data over a websocket. They had some notion of the squares they were watching and what their values needed to be (to draw the images). And th

author here :) this is my favorite story from running the site, and possibly the best story I've ever been a part of. I'm not a big crier but I have cried so many times thinking and trying to write about it over the past 2 month

we meet up on occasion to kick around ideas[1] - we're both in nyc and the 'people doing creative tech stuff in nyc' world is not that big. I think(?) we first met right after I made stranger video; we've batted around

I made Stranger Video (the linked item)! Neal's a friend of mine and I gave him a (small) hand with eyechat. We were originally going to collaborate more on eyechat but then One Million Checkboxes[1] blew up and I had to bow out [1] h

Eh, like I said below, I think this gets into "do I think I can write something that scales substantially better than Redis" / "was I at risk of generating load that Redis couldn't handle" and I think the answe

FWIW I think it'd be a huge mistake for me to spend a bunch of time learning to write performant code! My takeaway from this experience is that I have no idea which of my sites is going to be popular - most of my projects are not nearl

Yeah I think this was particularly handy for Redis - click a box to upgrade my Redis instance (or add a Replica) while maintaining data with full uptime was really really nice. Painful to use managed redis when I was debugging (let me log i

by eieio 2y ago
Right, and then the question is "is my specialized datastore gonna be faster than Redis" right? And it seems totally reasonable that you could make something faster eventually - but I think it's not a reasonable goal within
