A friend of mine has early access to cutting edge corporate jargon, I heard the phrase "let's double-click on that" from him long before anywhere else. I asked him what's new these days and he says it's "the shark closest to your body" for the most urgent issue.

Seeing all those LLM CLI tools having those fun block character title screens made me want my own.
And no, I didn't have an LLM make this, just 6 hours toggling pixels in Photoshop. Pixel art is such a hyperfocus black hole.

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.

Another functional pattern that is surprisingly useful for Advent of Code is this recursion over TODOs. Great for DFS/BFS etc.

New work • My typeface 'Levitate' is out now!
Taking aesthetic inspiration from electronic displays: 'Levitate' explores ways to embrace just a handful of shapes and 45-degree angles while developing a language that accounts for theoretically any glyph.

Progress has been good!
Last few things to plumb together, a nicer button style to implement, letting the user spawn the rust counter from within the UI... It's all coming together!

Is Rust wasm-bindgen and wasm-pack ready for use? My program using basic types and Serde is running into unreachable blocks, logging via web_sys doesn't work, etc. 🤔

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

It's wild how instead of "is it Elm the mail client?" the HN comments focused on "is it BEAM the Apache Beam?"
