Enabled VisualHostKey yes in my SSH config (thanks @rixx@chaos.social!) and it’s strangely nice to see the semi-artwork every time I make an SSH connection.

Me when running a service:
Oh no. One of our back-end services is down. This is causing latency spikes on the front-end and in the mobile app. Users don't understand what's happening, so they keep hitting reload. This is adding even more load to the server and making things worse. Only technical users know to just wait a while, and then try again later.

Me when using a service:
What the hell?! This should've loaded already! Why so slow?! I'll click reload a few more times! *ReloadReloadReload*

Do I know any trans health nuts? There’s a feature request in my fav calorie tracker that could use decisiveness and hard design choices: https://github.com/simonoppowa/OpenNutriTracker/issues/80

thread in which I talk about why the "wrap your games console in a towel" or "reflow the bga" thing works to fix some consoles, and it's nothing to do with solder balls.

Well, if nothing else, the Internet Archive case does make me feel much less bad about using Anna’s Archive.

I’ve become such a wuss since we installed AC.

TIL about gx in (neo)vim, which opens a a file/url natively.

to the publications that stylize headlines and other content in ALL CAPS, but who use `text-transform: uppercase` instead of actually typing the headline in caps: i see you, i appreciate you, i love you

love how the tech industry just reclaimed “sparkling autocomplete”

I kind of want to switch my Fediverse software over to gotosocial, but the thought of migrating while maintaining the same subdomain is just not something I want to tackle.

Some very smart, talented, and creative friends of mine recognized that "herculean tasks" and "sisyphean tasks" seems a bit limiting, so they came up with some more.

I love these and have now collected them:

Reminder of how much we like to criminalize being poor.

Skipping a $3.50 transit fare results in a $425 fine while skipping a $20 parking pass lands you a $70 fine that rich people complained to high heaven about. What justification, other than hating poor people, is there for this not scaling?

Make parking fines $2000 and then let's talk about the fictional "war on cars"

@jacob @andrew Just looking at the list of WA cities by population and what I call a town vs. a city, it’s ~100k, although there are some surprises in there that I’d consider a town/city that are on the wrong side of that line.

@hynek I’m not really regretting just using the GitHub API via curl in CI for these things - originally because the actions were deprecated, but now seeing these issues, I’m not really inclined to go back even though they’re being updated again.

@bagder To put in perspective:
- JPEG: libjpeg 6b encoder+decoder: 24,200 lines of C
- JPEG: libjpeg-turbo encoder+decoder: 127,000 of C and ASM (multi architectures)
- JPEG2000: openjpeg encoder+decoder: 50,000 lines of .C
- JPEG2000: Kakadu commercial encoder+decoder: 214,000 lines of C++ (only coresys component)
- libjxl: 150,000 lines for the core library, encoder+decoder (deps excluded)
(All above includes blank lines + inline doc)
So this is pretty much standard for a modern codec

I present to you... the tech world:

@tenderlove Woah, amazing

S, when I went to get him in the morning recently: “I have pictures in my eyes”

I find it interesting that on one hand, this is pretty much the best design possible for me given that it represents almost no new code, no new tools, and no new costs. It’s quite optimal. On the other hand, it’s possibly the worst possible tool chain imaginable for a blog engine for almost anybody else.

I don’t have a blog engine, but I feel like there’s a lot of what I use for personal things that make sense for me but I wouldn’t recommend in general.

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6
