I'm conflicted.

My plan was to lay low at my current company and focus on social media, but I'm advancing quite a bit at work and it's pretty likely that I could get a large promotion if I keep working at it.

I'm already financially stable, but I could then help the rest of my family out a lot...

I have been summoned

I just fold the laundry right out of the dryer into a basket or on hangers. If I don't do it then then I never will.

I estimated the value and lightness, and then held the hue in memory just long enough to dial it in since I'm much worse at estimating the hue as a number.

I thank my parents for my gift for buying me the 120 pack of crayons when I was a child.

I've got some shame about trying this. I've never requested money on the Internet before, but...

I paused at the same question. It needs quantifiers to be able to be answered.

You can turn off extended support and just have your clusters auto-update to the next standard supported version, but you have to know that extended support pricing is even a thing to know to turn it off 😮‍💨

Why is there no clear play-doh that actually has a dough and not putty texture?

Crazy stuff going on at work so Foldster's Projects is on the back burner for a bit.

Next thing after getting Demowall fixed up is adding Strudel+Hydra support to Demosky.

I'm glad consistency wasn't on my resolutions list this year 👀

Would y'all mind me being real cringe this year with scuffed content so that by the end of the year I'm making pretty good content that I normally don't make now?

Here's how I think about logs

Division and Log ask nearly the same thing: how much of B do I need to make A?

Division: if you have A things, how many groups of B you have to *add* together to make A.

Log: if you have A things, how many groups of B you need to *multiply* together to make A.

I also regret to inform you that this is the busiest season for my team at work, so my new year actually starts mid-febuary.

Somewhere between liberally short and conservatively long 😌

I somehow missed this!

Makes me feel better about my own throughput on top of me having an office job 😅

Oh what? That's really weird.

The only thing I can think of is a loss of precision due to the shader running for so long, but I'm not sure why it would cause that effect specifically.

Hmm what is the shader supposed to look like?

I'll make a patch that resets the wallpaper service every 24 hrs, I should be able to get that in review this weekend.

A cartoon-style illustration features a frog swimming with a scorpion riding on its back. Above them, dialogue text reads: "But now we shall both surely drown," said the Frog, and "lol said the Scorpion, 'lmao'."

I regret to inform you that I have content farming on my new year's resolution card.

But it's the kind of farming where you have one tomato plant on the porch that you're really proud of.

Content pet plant baby.

Microsoft launches Copilot AI function in Excel, but warns not to use it in 'any task requiring accuracy or reproducibility' You can have Copilot generate your formulas in Excel now, but it doesn't sound ready for prime time.

They actually do understand that, and yet they do it anyway.

It's fascinating.
