For three years, one Cookie Clicker achievement has evaded me.

Until today.

And of all days to finally unlock it... my birthday!? Feels like fate. Especially since I don’t recall ever giving @orteil42.bsky.social my birth date.

- Create interactive maps with 3D and web components.
- Open Source and (mostly) ready to use!

💾 Repo: github.com/Nyveon/Splat...
🌍 Demo: maps.eri.cl

I'm a kernel (?) and I have too many threads (tasks and projects) in user space (my brain) and I need to start closing (finishing) them faster than I create new ones (jumping to the next shiny project) 😩

At least I'm not thrashing I guess

I bought a special "pen" for painting a bitter flavor onto my fingernails, to break out of my nail-biting habit.

Now my nails taste like nintendo switch cartridges. If you know you know.

After a year and a half of using Firefly III for budgeting and tracking my finances, I'm making the switch to using Actual Budget.

FFIII is great, but it has many shortcomings that AB doesn't. (e.g. returns are ruin budgets, "piggy banks" are per bank account, and more)

I learned two new ways of folding socks (a square that displays the design, and a compact roll).

No more stretching, lost pairs or rummaging to find the socks I want!

New year, new Trello board.

10 years of organizing my entire life using my own kanban technique! Looks like it might be time to clean up my older boards though...

A Christmas miracle occurred and I finished one of my side-projects! You can now get LetterGrid, a slide puzzle about forming words, in the Google Store 🥳

Today in totally unnecessary effects for my homepage that I waste too much time on: ✨ animated favicon ✨

Most of the time was spent learning web workers to keep it animating smoothly when the tab is inactive because inactive tabs cap timeouts at 1s and freeze all animations lol

I used to eat Pfeffernüsse cookies every christmas as a family tradition, then I found out the only ones sold here aren't vegetarian :(

But this year @floflowo.bsky.social made homemade ones and they're amazing 😭😭😭

While watching my partner play picross, I just realized that Neural radiance fields (NeRF) are kinda like the computer playing an extremely complicated version of 3D Picross

Writing my thesis, I was constantly amazed by how good Gaussian splatting is at reflections, especially compared to techniques like photogrammetry

Watched @architectofgames.bsky.social’s latest vid on how optimization instincts paradoxically reduce fun in games. So, I've intentionally changed how I define fun in Balatro: no restarts, focus on new (even bad) combos. Had a blast and finally beat Gold Stake for the first time! :DD

Just finished the book "Algorithms to Live By". Really enjoyed it! Has some fun applications of CS to real life, not all of them are useful but some are real, actionable, advice.

It made me reflect a lot about theoretical things I'd learnt but never really related to real life.

Spent 3 hours yesterday making what looks like a simple scrollbar. Worth it?? Maybe... I hope so 😭

Sharing how I did it in the thread, in case it's of use to anyone else
