Most of my jobs are local-ish, but then every once in a while I get a job down in Silicon Valley and I always forget how much of a nightmare the traffic is. I really need to start charging portal-to-portal for jobs like this.

Took a chance on a new YouTube channel going over the history of image formats. Lots of splashy graphics, a little light on technical details, but a reasonable overview. Until they got to JPEG, when they mentioned metadata, specifically GPS, where they say you could be accidentally sharing your […]

After repotting my monstera I noticed that it’s looking a little sad, so I did a quick search and the top result is basically the perfect botany joke:
“Yellowing leaves are often caused by overwatering, underwatering, …”
Yes, thank you internet article, that’s really helpful

You know what I would like to read a very thorough blog post about, or even a YouTube video if it, were good enough? Managing custom symbols and footprints in KiCad. I've tried a couple different methods, and both are Very Annoying and don't seem like the best way to do things.

Not having the best luck with this new ink. I'm beginning to wonder if the viscosity of the ink (or something) doesn't play well with my technical pens. I may also need to do a more thorough cleaning

Projects dealing with third party hardware are cursed. First there was my GPI Controller which behaved oddly when used with a specific brand of $5k video reference monitors. Now an $8k medium format digital camera doesn’t play nice with HyperFocal

I’ve been meaning to repot my monstera for ages, it kept sending roots out of the old pot, and I finally swung by a local nursery and picked up a bigger pot. When I got it back I thought it was way too big, but once I pulled the roots out of the old […]

Whelp, it finally happened. A user reported what may be a Tahoe-only bug in one of my apps. Time to spin up a VM and see what the issue is, you know other than someone running Tahoe

Finally used these itty bitty canvas boards I’ve had stashed away for ages. The surface is a little rough for the technical pen, but it worked well enough

My quick passes at figuring out how to represent an n-degree Bézier as drawn by de Casteljau's algorithm with either cubic or quadratic curves have not worked out, so does anyone know the proper way to do that?

Trying to not quite debug, but unify my Bézier curve implementations, and oh boy Are There Options.
The blue line shows a cubic curve with control points at the points of the light grey line, and a center point halfway between the control points.

Went into Venmo this morning and it told me I had two notifications, I click on the little bell icon: nothing.
I refresh, force quit the app, this doesn’t load.
Finally I turn off Wi-Fi and it works.
Their notifications page must have been blocked by my PiHole as advertising/tracking nonsense

It would be nice to be able to conform to protocols with stored property requirements in an extension just for organizational purposes. Maybe something like `inline extension`, restricted to the original module, that could tell the compiler to treat the extension as if it were in the original […]

I build kind of a weird workaround with a wrapper object to add styling to shapes that conform to a Drawable protocol… in the library… that I wrote… :facepalm:
