Me on first coffee: “Let’s do large biomes this time.”

Spawn in giant desert.

(voxellated sigh)

Well, let’s work with what we got.

Getting better. Okay, time for the actual day.

@c0debabe Found a granite pit and one bit of iron. All I needed :blobwhee:​

@ArtifexUmbra Some do, but they also tend to hold onto their employees and treat them well, so turnover and thus hiring is low.

@maddiefuzz I’ve tried many variations, and I always get the impression they like me, but rarely that they want to hire me. Thus the AI study. But of course it’s the hyperfocus approach of taking everything apart to see how it works, so I won’t look like I know until suddenly I’m an expert critiquing those stupid chat services.

@thegibson I’ve managed to catch my own tail a few times but mostly I’ve spent the last few decades kinda dizzy.

@lmorchard hey I’ve been in this movie

@thegibson @Wrewdison and then introduce them to highlights from Avenue Q, since it’s the same folks.

Taking some fancy notes, and the chance to compare the default math editing experience between #SiYuanNote and #Logseq

I like SiYuan’s approach of using a mini-editor for embeds like AsciiMath, Mermaid, and PlantUML. Would be even better with syntax highlighting, but it’s still easier to work with

@GossiTheDog I dunno. I read about J Edgar Hoover. FBI isn’t always about evidence.

hackers.town: 2024-05-10 Fri 10:58

Thought I’d try the math thing in #TangentNotes and it works really well. You got your editing view with (light) syntax highlighting, and the formula is rendered while editing.

@taylorhadden does nice work!

@lmorchard closely related but not the same kind of annoyance is when you’re subscribed to a newsletter, click a tracker-laden link in the newsletter, and when the page loads it throws a popup asking you to subscribe to the newsletter.

@thegibson (clamps hand over your mouth)

shhh before the monkey’s paw hears you

We’re worried about harnesses and pet seats and stuff like that for the cats on a long trip.

Based on their current lounging preferences they’d be happiest with an empty cardboard box in the back seat. Maybe some loose paper to crinkle and chew on.

@junebug a reasonable opinion.

I liked it better than Mountain Home ID, but that’s because Mountain Home was awful.

@genehack Friday commute traffic starts at 6am and ends at 9pm

Maybe

hackers.town: 2024-05-10 Fri 19:38

@genehack ooh yeah surprise bridge impact. That’s always fun.

@Wrewdison @thegibson It’s a good night to be a zombie movie.

Itchy enough to need the emergency allergy meds late in the evening is rarely great.

hackers.town: 2024-05-10 Fri 22:19

@minego sometimes I’m in the mood to be awake and extra unfocused way past my bedtime, sure.

hackers.town: 2024-05-10 Fri 23:09

My eye sees weird high clouds.

My phone sees drugs.

hackers.town: 2024-05-10 Fri 23:10

@lordbowlich Give it a shot. My phone’s picking it up better than my eyes thanks to me being sidetracked by local light pollution.
