TIL lowering the tick rate makes players hear DDR tracks playing in the background that weren't part of the game bundle

at this point it might be easier to make an open source stream-watching desktop client *out of an OBS fork*, say "open receiver software" ORS — that can (somehow, magically) access the pre-"streaming platform-encoded" stream data and reproduce the inputs as outputs

the web: awesome
offline desktop software: amazing
cloud-based desktop software: has its uses
mobile apps: the bane of humanity for generations to come

(bonus) vr computing: could become something meaningful if we stopped fucking with cell phones for a hot second

the gmaps pin display algo is specifically trying to avoid the ubisoft-objective-marker situation, because above a certain pin density the map becomes useless. as you zoom in + "search this area", it will fill in more. the only question is how they choose what to show at lower zoom levels

of course if my economic sustainability were more dependent on being the exposed endpoint of the technologist pyramid, i'd still feel differently about it, but no longer for my ego or sense of failure

i used to have a similar feeling after spending days failing to implement something correctly after many approaches, and then later find the correct solution built on top of my published work — now im fine with it because im not displeased to be the giant on whose shoulders a useful thing was built

that's 1 whyte. 9 x wheat = 1 whyte. 1024 whytes = 1 kilowhyte

i wish an O'reilly book consumed by many humans could result in a common coding practice, but you know it's more likely claude / chatgpt is the reason

yeah he's not the voice of the US left, anyone with that big a platform rapidly trends centrist and ultimately ceases to represent cohesive progressive values, and i think it's important to disown them as a progressive rep when we have ppl like bernie and mamdani

this is a helpful reference to base my other confusions!
so, if
- A owns abc[dot]com
- A adds a DNS record to *my* did to abccom
- A creates account using @abc.com as a handle on some atproto platform P, how does that shake out? am i blocked from signing up on that platform as @korc.me?

- does my pds json reference others (eg: X's posts/comments/etc) via their did, or their human-readable did (@domain)?
- if X moves their pds, would my pds update references somehow? what about changing their @domain?
- what if multiple domains have records pointing to the same did?
- vice versa?

thanks that's helpful! i think im still vague on a few aspects (you don't have to explain, just going to list some here) that im sure i'll get clarity on over time:

im not 100% sold on atproto as the future of "free" social networking, but i will invest in it over any of the walled gardens any day. currently im personally investing in contributing to the exodus from "corporate social" more than picking specific implementations

looks like the answer is yes!
this is the post that convinced me to invest in the DNS record: overreacted.io/open-social/

oh i like this clip, it lets me really see what is (and isn't) happening -- i think the legs (shins) are teleporting instead of folding or sliding, and that's the bit throwing me off the most (and visually dissatisfying for a transformation sequence)!

oh geez, that's a bummer.

i've read that if it's recent enough, you may still be access it by its unique calendar id, by adding the url like [calendarid]@[group].calendar.google.com and save a copy. finding the id if you don't have it from before can be complex if you don't have it, but doable?

i lasted all of 3 days using cursor, before going back to vscode (+ aider in terminal). i appreciate the attempts at interoperability cursor made by being a fork, but nowadays i think cursor really should have just been a .VSIX.

(but how raise $$$ as a plugin?)
