Ramer:

The Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm, also known as the Douglas–Peucker algorithm and iterative end-point fit algorithm,

I wonder what Ramer did to deserve this

I made some good progress on it today, now it is capable of creating this with just a few minutes of work :) Modern CSS is amazing.

"genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism" is such a word

the number of times I've said I enjoyed something and IMMEDIATELY, like a starting pistol just went off, someone gallops in to do "too bad you are simply Not Smart Enough to have spotted this list of flaws"

I really enjoyed the Incandescent, so it sounds like I need to read the other :)

My go-to recs (other than of course Murderbot 😆) lately are Dungeon Crawler Carl (7 books) and Tainted Cup (2).

In all seriousness, it’s actually going really freaking well and I’m super excited about it.

This is a video export of a CSS animation I built in my app in just a few minutes, from the starting prompt “clownfish swimming”:

The image displays an ArtCSS application interface where a user has generated a CSS visualization of the "Not sure if..." meme. The meme shows a cartoon character with the text "NOT SURE IF" above its head and "OR JUST CSS" below it. The character is derpy looking with two mouths, a nose pointing in an odd direction, and orange clumps of hair. <alt text generated by AI: https://alttexter.lovable.app/>

I’m working on a new vibe coding project: an app that uses AI to generate CSS+HTML visualizations from a prompt/reference image, and then has a simple UX for easily modifying the visualizations yourself, or requesting changes from the AI.

Testing is going well.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯no idea... it was the weirdest thing, I was using it to tape up some packages and I had this thought of "hrm, something feels off..." and only then I realized it was the *absence* of that sound that my hindbrain was reacting to

TIL that packing tape that doesn’t make that annoying sound exists

I was hoping someone else would point that out :)

At first I couldn’t remember the name of the data type you use to combine variables of different types, but then it struct me.

comparison between apple's finder icon and mine. apple's is the split blue and white smiley face, mine is two blue and white anime girls making out

comparison between discord's icon and mine. mine is like a screaming cat on a blue/purple slimy background

comparison between celsys's clip studio paint icon and mine. mine is similar but rotated with some comic styling and pink and blue highlights

comparison between mozilla's firefox icon and mine. mine is similar but looks closer to the old firefox icon and brings back the little arm and gives the fox a cute little smiley face

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Stardew Valley was like that for me - I’ve tried to play it over the years a few times on different devices (phone, Xbox, PC) and somehow it never “stuck” w/me.

But then I got a steam deck a couple of months ago and somehow got sucked in to spending a ridiculous # of (very fun!) hours playing it.

The app I built for this costs me a little bit of $ (pennies per query) but I’m happy for others to use it if it results in more usage of alt text on bluesky:

Also feel free to use this app I built, that uses AI to generate alt text for you: alttexter.lovable.app

I don’t know how many times I have to say this, but a reply with just the punster’s name in it is basically the same as a standing ovation.

I don’t make the rules.

shoutout to all my fellow queers for whom family of origin sucks around holidays (and those of us who are still working on finding that found family). everything is pretty bad right now but being queer is still fucking amazing and you are amazing and not alone and i love you and am grateful for you

That album + Pink were my entire personality for several years I think

I Winnebago right?

A large glass measuring cup of red jello, with a self/standing spoon next to it in the shape of a whale

this is also great because I get to use my new soup spoon

growing up I thought it was something everybody knew about. I only realized it had regional origins at some point years ago on the bird site when a thing went around with people saying “what the ever living fuck is this” and only then did it occur to me it is kind of wacky.
