i saw someone point out that the selector for time on iphone alarms is actually just a really long list and not truly circular. everything i’ve known is a lie

A deep purplish-brown door in a half-wall painted white, at the end of a driveway between 2 residential buildings. Behind the wall, a bright pink tree grows upwards towards a bright white sky. The image appears very structured/clear at the bottom/foreground, and grows more fanciful towards the top/far edge.

missed this one on my first edit pass through my last set of photos, glad I gave them another look

A mostly featureless bluish-gray wall with horizontal seams along it at regular intervals. Extremely plain, square windows with black frames are placed in the wall. Along the outside edges, tall windows have a reflection of a tree with orange leaves, a street sign, and a traffic light. The reflection is in a different orientation on each edge. Along the inside, a shorter pair of windows reflect a smooth progression of various shades of orange.

A leafy, bright pink plant with bright white flowers dotted along it, viewed from below. The plant is growing up a rough, gray-blue wall towards a bright white, almost glowing sky.

A leafy plant with orange leaves grows out of a squarish hole along a rough concrete surface, with harsh mid-day shadows accentuating its edges.

A small weed with orange leaves and 2 small white flowers grows out of cracks in a concrete stairway.

finally made it outside before it got completely cloudy so I could shoot more infrared

Yeah, also love to map over my Maps in my HashMap of MapHash

love to index our game maps by content hash so that I can have a HashMap of MapHash

A screenshot of CSS code showing a method for converting a length into a unitless value for use as a line-clamp setting.

I assume the CSS police are on their way 🫡

An image captcha with 9 different images and the prompt, "Select all images that match the label: undefined"

these captcha prompts are getting pretty abstract lately

A bright pink plant with long, thin leaves extending outward in all directions from its center, growing out of long pink grass next in front of a white apartment building on a sunny day. A barred window directly behind it has smoothly flowing shades of blue and a subtle reflection of the plant in front of it.

Went out for a bit and came back to find one of my cats updated my browser for me? I've heard of cats opening doors and stuff but this is next level

PSA: if Discord enabled their new game overlay for you, make sure you turn it off (use the legacy one or not at all).

I can't believe they got all the way through developing and shipping this implementation, but it is a bad idea, and will increase your input/graphics latency in any borderless game

Once the overlay displays UI it seems to keep the window over the game unless it is turned off in the Discord settings, and therefore will keep the game in the higher latency display mode.

If you've noticed higher input latency, worse framepacing, etc. lately, this could very well be the culprit

Screenshot of PresentMon output for Deadlock showing it running in Hardware Independent Flip mode with 0.99ms latency

Screenshot of PresentMon output for Deadlock showing it running in Composed Flip mode with 17.32ms latency

For instance, here's PresentMon output for Deadlock. First without the overlay, we get independent flip and minimal latency (0.99ms).

Then, if I enable the overlay and let it display something once, we get the second screenshot: composed flip (like a normal window, forced vsync), 17.32ms latency

I got suspicious when I saw that it said it *required* the borderless setting in order to work, and sure enough, it seems to simply be rendering another window over top of the game. If you do this, Windows will take the game off its normal fast rendering path (independent flip) => more frame latency

Photo of a very large blue door with many outlined squares on it, shot at night in the dim illumination of streetlights. Many signs are placed haphazardly on the door, stating things like "24 hr emergency", "warning", "danger", "caution", but with no reason given.

Photo of a 2 story home shot straight on at night. On the bottom floor, only the front door is lit, showing a patterned window on the door and a stained glass window with red flowers above. On the second floor, 2 windows are lit, one half-covered by a large plant. Only the lit areas are visible, the rest of the frame cloaked in deep blackness.

Code comment stating: NOTE(tec27): Rounding seems very weird here, I know, BUT... Chrome seems to implement vw/vh extremely literally from the spec, which defines them as e.g. "1vw = 1% of viewport width." Thus, they pre-divide them by 100, and for some values (such as 954px): 954 / 100 * 100 => 953.9999999. When this occurs, rem and mod by 2px can return 2px instead of the 0px they should. Other browsers (e.g. Firefox) don't seem to have this issue.

yeah I'm having a really fun afternoon, why do you ask

glad someone is using the drums

Dill, a fuzzy medium-hair tabby with a white chest lays on a desk, staring somewhat menacingly at the viewer. He is framed by several objects in the foreground that are nondescript and out of focus, and the whole shot has a shadowy, dark, blueish tone.

had to get some new roommates, meet Dill Pickle and Fig

it's been a rough week so i thought i'd rotate a gyro for everyone. as a treat

seems like IPTC added something for this specific purpose a few years back (although 250 characters feels like a pretty rough limit for this): iptc.org/news/iptc-an...
