Lost me at Web Components. There are many things the web does great, but Web Components is not one of them. Can we move on?

Why do you think web components are not great?

Good riddance.


It’s mind-mapping software that has a “zoom” component, and uses Mandelbrot fractal visuals as a background to provide some kind of landmarks I guess? Neat, but I’m a bit turned off by the grandiose readme. Reading it felt like I was trying to decode the product offering of an NFT platform from a few years ago or something.


Yeah thz readme makes me concerned about the mental health of the person


Still in the earliest R&D phase, but working on a multiplayer voxel game. I don’t intend to share it widely, just something for me and family/friends to play.

I mostly wanted an excuse to play with shaders and WebRTC, but I also like the idea of being a sort of “dungeon master” but instead of writing a campaign, I populate the world through procedural rules, and adjust the rules based on how we all end up playing as we go, adding things to stumble upon and keep it fresh in an organic way.

Perhaps another reason to unionize is to claim more of the political power being wielded by our industry. Unions can play a role in shifting where lobbying money goes, how industry advises politicians, etc. At least I think that’s how things used to work. Not sure how anything works anymore…

Ah yes, my legacy: UserOAuthLoginProfileAPIService


// TODO: migrate to UserOAuthLoginProfileAPIService2 by Wednesday


At this point I wonder if it’s time we add a kind of markup control scheme to Unicode so we can finally have a standard for rich text that is backwards compatible.


ANSI escape sequences exist and are good enough for basic formatting like bold, italic, underlined etc.


Most screenreaders also respect ANSI escapes! A lot are using a tty interface under the covers.

However, HTML does not.

Though, in my experience, getting Chrome to adopt something new, is easier than getting Dragon to fix a bug.


This reminds me of fluxless ultrasonic “active” soldering which allows for bonding metals to ceramics and otherwise difficult metals: https://youtu.be/WuYdsStS1MQ


The short shelf life of things like bananas gave us wonderful foods like banana bread. It’s really not as big of a problem if we are just more responsible with the food we buy. But I say this mostly as a “yes, and…”
