Snugug

I found for myself when looking that a direct drive, as opposed to belt driven, record player was the most important thing to look for, followed by direct analog out (ideally to speakers with an amp). Cartridges are consumables, look for good ones separately from the player

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

I've got two more #photography albums for y'all!

#montreal from earlier this year

snugug.photography/montreal-2024

Then, despite what I said, I did decide to put my #philadelphia test shots online:

With that, all my 2024 images are online!

Seriously though the Stupid Evil Party vs. the Stupid Useless Party is really getting on my fucking nerves.

Ran another playtest of my game system I've been making tonight and I've hit a milestone: the only changes that came out tonight were balance tweaks. That means the rules are mostly settled now! It also means I've got a pretty good handle on how everything works together and am in the final 20% 😜

This is kinda how @svelte.dev stores work and I absolutely love them. I never got the appeal of the other approach; feels antithetical to the composability with atomic updates paradigm that UI frameworks preach for DOM updates.

What amazes me, after having just switching back to Sublime Text on my Linux machine, is just how much overhead there is in Electron based programs like VSCode, and how much many of it's features are available elsewhere now through things like LSP

Do all of the functions I wrote for Breakpoint to parse strings into media queries count? 😜

I've watched about half of this and, by the way it's going, I think CEP deserves a Pulitzer

These are great! Are you making them?

My devopment flow is separate terminal, open all files in a new window, and a keyboard based window manager to move things around. Works great. And yes I use iTerm and it's still good.

I'm getting a lot of joy this break going through my #photography library and finally editing and posting my pics. Here's one more, with a couple of neat ones which are the exact composition, 14 years apart!

Back in October I visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum for the first time. I posted my thoughts then (snugug.com/musings/yom-...) and finally managed to get the pictures I took edited and published.

I hope they help you more deeply understand what I wrote.

New #photography album drop! Pictures from my trip to #Krakow from back in October.

Anyone using Sublime Text 4? I can't seem to get code formatting (prettier/eslint) to work the same way it does in VSCode, and Markdown editing doesn't feel as good (e.g. doesn’t continue adding bullets if I'm in a list).

Anyone have thoughts?

New post: The Last SPA Router You'll Need

A brief exploration of the Navigation API in practice as an SPA router, with a little bonus @svelte.dev 5 Runes. From my experience rebuilding my photography CMS.

#webdev #javascript

My photography website, snugug.photography, is built in @astro.build and is all but client-side JS free, but with View Transitions it still feels super dynamic, and the "modal" even has keyboard nav

My favorite was an experience, like others have said. CSS/JSConf AU took the speakers to an amazing zoo, where everyone got an animal encounter, and then to a vineyard for wine and food. It was a full day trip before the conference, and really helped the speakers bond. Plus, I met a dingo!

It's a #photography kinda weekend! Pictures from my 2019 trip to #China, inuding the Forbidden City, Ming Dynasty Tombs, and Great Wall!

New album just dropped: #photography from my recent trip to #London!

snugug.photography/london-2024

Annoyingly, best viewed in Chrome on a newer MacBook Pro as that's the only combo I've seen that'll actually render high dynamic range images.

New post: In search of dynamic range, a little bit about my #photography history and a recent change to my shooting style I made last week while I was on vacation.

There's always next time! Finding a friend is better anyway.

Aww sad. It's always sad leaving Negril.

Did you go to any of the spots I mentioned?

My wife got me the hot ones sampler last year and I did it twice, does that qualify me?
