i tried watercolor painting today and i now retract all my complaints in 283. like, as hard as it was for me to remember how to do certain tasks in procreate, having to do them with physical paint is a gazillion times worse.
Happy (and mortified) to report that the "Claude proofreads the 18.02 book" campaign uncovered an embarrassingly large number of typos:
42 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 163 deletions(-)I'm a bit scared but maybe should release Claude on the Napkin as well.
Excited for Keychain 3 to be out of beta
so I can be less confused about what my ssh-agent and gpg-agent are doing.
i'm so happy that Arch Linux obs-studio finally includes the browser plugin
as of 2 months ago
i always hated building OBS from the AUR
I'm sure I'm just incompetent, but I feel like I spend so much time fighting Procreate. Like… how do I draw a straight line or circle? How do I delete a lasso-selected region? How do I fill a region with a gradient or texture?
I wonder if there's something that's not clicking yet.
why do people apply the label "powered by AI" to their websites as if that's supposed to entice me
The speed at which rumdl fixes my bug reports is so impressive to me (e.g. rumdl#669 went from issue report to release in 65 minutes).
the netflix k-drama 기리고 is about a supernatural phone app that grants a wish then kills you, so of course the show producers made an actual decorative app. which i thought was cute, so i downloaded it a few weeks ago, though i hadn't actually tried it.
then today i accidentally opened the app with my thumb and it was the best jumpscare of all time.
I still think it would be really funny if we actually renamed the TSTST to "Team Selection Process Math Olympiad".
can I just say how great the Parasocial posts have been this is actually so good
excited for paradox puzzle hunt 2! but first my team has to pick a faction…
It took 15 years but I finally got an edition of ELMO named after me 🎉
on the phone listening to a friend install arch linux for the first time 🥰
WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE 🎉
A story in amateur form design.
It used to be that on the OTIS financial aid form, people didn't know the difference between annual vs monthly income. (No matter which one I asked for, some students would put the other.)
Solution: ask for both annual vs monthly income,
and have JavaScript validate that monthly ≈ annual ÷ 12.
Now 2 for 2 for getting onto standby flights.
lastlint is on PyPI now!
uv tool install lastlintIt's slowly dawning on me the "I'll do this over the summer once I have time again" to-do list has more items on it than I can do in one summer.
many months later i finally have no overdue cards in anki it's a freaking miracle
Despite turning 30, I apparently still have nightmares that I have to go back to Irvington High School to finish some graduation requirement that I never completed.
it took me five years but i think i finally found the right way to do
cd-supported Asymptote in latexmkrc:
use File::Basename;
sub run_asy {
my ($base, $dir) = fileparse($_[0]);
return system("cd '$dir' && asy -tex pdflatex '$base'");
}i'd been misusing asy -o all this time (not supposed to be for directories!)
and nobody told me. sheesh.
I definitely never got more mature as I aged. But in my mid-20's I at least got faster at getting things done over time. I'm not sure I still have that going for me either.
