I see one wheels just as often as a hoverboard these days which seems way off since a one wheel is about $1000 when a hoverboard is lesson than $200

I hear the solution to all that is to use 1password. Personally I'm still skeptical. What about you?

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 isn't about picking sides.

It's about focusing on the UI, the part that engages, interacts, and shapes the user experience.

What did she use to design it??

I guess in some ways it's good they don't care because it means they can go without the phone. My kids take care of their devices but also spend way too much time with them.

I forked it and will be pushing up my changes here. github.com/tooshel/stic...

I have already added a few things on my own like debugging plus now it saves all the sticker images locally in case I want to print it again! The error check was important since it didn't work at first because I didn't have a billing account on the api key.

WOWOWWOW! Love the sticker dream! The kids are having fun with it! I say it's the best gift of them all but what do I know! Thanks @wesbos.com for the idea and project!

Someone is arguing there is "no evidence" of various things Trump has supposedly done.

What's the problem with hacker news? I never really read it and sorta let what matters bubble up some other way. I also mostly avoided Reddit too . . . just so much noise to get to anything good?

That's shitty . . . but it could have been okay if he asked ahead of time, right?

Nice! It's also just fun to try something even if you make a ton of mistakes. And with "YouTube training" it's easier than ever!

You think a few users flagged it for real and they just haven't caught that it wasn't true?

The system works! Sometimes! I reported a video because it was EXACTLY the kind of thing my kid would have wanted to see . . . clickbait for real. But it was just slop and had very little do to with the title and thumbnail.

Somebody has figured out how to fingerprint browsers in a cache-busting way using the favicon, so now we're all going to have to deal with a favicon-related CVE and some kind of absurd restriction on how favicons can change. This is why we can't have nice things. supercookie.me/workwise

I went to the "release party" movie and she never says what anything is really about. My 13 year old daughter told me that's how all the songs are. People KNOW who the song is about but not because she said it. But when my daughter starts describing the songs she sounds like a conspiracy theorist.

It's about Travis right? Some of them are just super sad. Life of a Showgirl for instance.

The funniest thing about Twitter these days is that right wing dipshits still think their content is being suppressed by some unseen liberal forces.

Elon Musk has owned the site for over three years now.

news: NEW! 50 year mortgage!

me: congratulations! another way to rent?

Think it will spike up when the government is opened?

OH: We just need 3 density settings, like gmail, "0 padding, normal padding, Justin padding"

Imagine how cheap the M3 mac pro with 512 of shared memory could be! Originally $10k! I'd pick one up for 2k now!

lol, not even sure what mode it's in??? you are making me nervous Claude @anthropic.com

What song?

I've been using the laser cutters at my local makerspace to cut lots of spiral shapes like this: [Photo of 3 plywood pieces, each with a spiral formed out of a different repeating shape laser-cut into it.] If you want to do the same, you might open Inkscape, make a shape, and scale it and rotate it: [Screenshot of solid pentagons, each one slightly rotated and smaller than the last. The pentagons are completely filled in.] Here's the catch. Laser cutter software's kinda dumb - all it can do when cutting is trace the paths (outer lines) of your shapes. So you could feed the above into it, and it would cut it, but what we'd end up with is the smallest pentagon and a bunch of tiny obtuse triangle shards, rather than a connected shape. In my pieces, the wooden "lines" are actually part of the solid shape; I made them by creating a sort of shape frame using a "difference" operation and then scaling and rotating that. Like so: [Screenshot of: - Two solid squares, one nested inside the other, labelled "overlapping shapes". - A hollow square with a thick, filled-in edge, labelled "difference". - A spiral pattern made out of these hollow squares, nested and rotated. The places the squares are touching are still separated by strokes. Labeled "transform: rotate and scale repeatedly". - The same spiral, but all the squares are now fused into a single shape. No strokes are visible at the places the squares touch. Labeled "union". ] It has to be done this way (as far as I can tell); even if you used a stroke style multiple millimeters thick, the laser would still just cut a 0.1mm line at the center of the stroke. So be sure strokes are drawn on BOTH sides of the wooden struts you want! --Jay McGavren, September 2025

I made this hasty #LaserCutter tutorial for the spiral shapes I've been doing. If you want your finished laser cut to consist of thin lines, the trick is not to draw thick strokes; you actually need paths on *both* sides of your lines!

I just hope she keeps going and doesn't slow down too much. She means so much to my 13 year old and it's so fun seeing her get excited about the next thing. I also hope this next album is more upbeat!

OH:

Dev 1: Why did you make those changes?

Dev 2: I don't know, I just let Jesus take the wheel. 🎶Jesus take the wheel!!! 🎶

OH: "it's like when you learn that a church is a business and Jesus is just part of the marketing"

This is the same debate as working after work hours vs fitting it all into 40 (or less in some places). "They say" the only way to get ahead is to work work work. Maybe that's also true in school? Or maybe there is only so much you can fit anyway and the rest is just social time anyway.

Undemocratic is the point. Getting more democracy in government is what the Democrats are supposed to be all about.
