My standing next to my wife after a wedding in semi-formal attire.

Day 1 intermittent fasting:

The idea is to lose 40lbs by my 40th birthday in 10 months. 4lbs/month.

Today was an accidental omad day, but only because of my sister in law's wedding and the preparatory chaos.

SW: 242

It's time we re-use the term "certified-organic" for non-ai generated content. 😁

Oh man, that stinks! 😫

That gives me another idea 💡:

Sell miniaturized bitcoin farms that fit in your heating system that will heat your home when the heat pump needs more umph. It's got to be cheaper than the heat strips that are used currently.

It's probably going to to get down to 4°F tonight. My heat pump will invariable switch over to auxiliary heat. In my house, aux heat really means npm installing and running llms locally.

hmm.. of course there are video compression artifacts. viewers beware. 🙃

👀 A multi-select-map component!

This component took me longer than I would have liked. Mostly learning how maps work. 😅

Thanks to:
☑️ shadcn-svelte
☑️ layercharts

It would neat to see how many inactive followers I have as well! Just to get an idea of a general audience size for oneself.

Picture of a button that says "Open All Profiles (61)" with the subtext "Note: this will open a new tab for each profile."

Looks good Scott!

I YOLO'd and clicked this button. Good thing there weren't more than 61 selected. 😂

Idea 💡-

7d2fa: Two factor authentication via your postal service.

Nah. I'm sure there's still a legit use case for it, but largely not needed anymore. Just my opinion.

Checking out Cloudflare has always been on my low priority list, but now that I have, it's certainly delightful.

It just works and works intuitively 😁

How come no one told me Cloudflare was awesome?

Merry Christmas.

I just lost twice to my 8 year old. 😅

😂

Just send her a letter or a carrier pigeon instead.

What would happen if you put down your smartphone on New Year's Eve and never picked it up again in 2025?

Loved it. Great way to spice up December. Thanks!

Upon reflection of the original post, I suppose that I'm more excited about error boundaries than exportable snippets, but in combination it allows reusability without the clutter.

Ok, yeah, wrapping a component in a snippet is good too. 👍

Hmm. Can you pass components to <svelte:boundary failed={component}>? I'll have to check.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but if true that makes sense. 🤔

Mario Ipsum: Random 8-bit awesomeness The one and only Super Mario Bros. themed dummy text generator.

Heh, just found a Mario-themed Lorem ipsum generator.

Of course this exists 😅

Finally playing around with Svelte's new exportable snippets + error boundaries. A fantastic combo. 😍
