I've just realised that The Walking Dead is just a reskinned version of The Animals of Farthing Wood.

If you're using a JSX based framework, would you prefer:

Camel case for readability:
<button autoFocus formAction="/foo">Click</button>

Lowercase for familiarity with plain HTML:
<button autofocus formaction="/foo">Click</button>

3. 6
4. 0
5. 2
6. 7
7. 4
8. 1
9. 8

I just learned Typescript added variadic tuple types (generics). This is so good for library maintainers! 😍

So… if I found a forgot password form that allows you to reveal any registered user’s full name and email, where would I report this?

Finally published my Mei ability trainer Overwatch workshop: TRY4H.

Only thing that I'm not happy with is that you can't seem to block Mercy res, may be some kind of issue with the bots 🤔

@benfoxall.bsky.social I've just started working on an animated background which combines sine waves to make a 2d gradient. Here's a basic implementation, but I need much better performance: jsbin.com/kofibosayu/e...
Any ideas?

On this website I'm really enjoying that you would need to scroll ten thousand billion billion billion pages to move the scrollbar by one pixel: everyuuid.com
Every UUID
A searchable list of every UUID v4 - scroll till you find a new favorite.

@benfoxall.bsky.social just had a look at your MKGN talk. I have some code somewhere I wrote to do Fourier analysis on game audio to try and determine audio direction. Might be useful for you!

I'll see if I can dig it out.

Finally finished making my Overwatch aim trainer (workshop code: 12621). I felt like the standard one (VAXTA) wasn't realistic/challenging enough, was missing some features and newer heroes.

Has been a lot of fun and a lot of work!

Doing a whole bunch of learning recently, and while LLMs have not convinced me of their value, I am now convinced that existing search engines are just terrible.

I want the LLM’s amazing ability to know specifically what I’m talking about, but then pointing me to a document by a real person.
