Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist. Old enough for it to hurt when I stand up, not old enough to have stopped noticing. Agnostic in principle, atheist in practice, #CSS guy, mzungu. I’m only here for the food.

Article starts out, literally kicks off the opening sentence with, “We’ve all used AI to help us write code” and brudda, let me stop you right the hell there. No, we all have not. Some of us are still resolutely hewing code out of text editors and actual human thinking, and it’s still usually better than whatever your steroidal autocomplete extruded for you.

A local Food Not Bombs chapter needed a donations box for hygiene products, and put out a call that a friend passed on to me. After we worked out size and usage details, I (slowly, haltingly) built one, and delivered it today. They asked that its exterior paint be purple, and I was glad to make it so. #CommunityAction

Conversation during the 50th Front-End Study Hall (https://indieweb.org/Front_End_Study_Hall) this past Tuesday sparked a goofy idea, so I brought it to life with a quick in-browser mockup and a little @acornapp@mastodon.social work.

I was at my computer and then looked at something on my phone and tried to move the mouse pointer from my computer to my phone and now I want to know why that’s not actually a thing.

I just re-installed SuperDuper! (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) after I somehow managed to break it. Been registered to me for 14 years, the main window informs me. That seemed like it was way too long, so I checked my logs and yep, my first logged run of it was at the beginning of August 2012. So, thanks for almost a decade and a half of backing me up, SuperDuper!

Firefox Nightly just auto-updated me to the “new look” for Firefox and I… kinda like it? The frame edge around the lower part of the window is taking a little getting used to, but I’m (surprised to be) down with the overall feel.

Earlier I reached the stage of hunger where even microwaved frozen pizza bagels sound good.

I baked them instead, because still retained a few scraps of reason, but still. SOUNDED good.

Live HTML in ` is now a thing in current Chrome (with a flag enabled), and people are doing wild stuff with it to “make the web fun again”! Whereas I have just used it to enhance a tool we use at work, because I am a boring stick in the mud. But an occasionally productive one. (If you’re only now hearing about this, an explainer with many examples: https://frontendmasters.com/blog/the-web-is-fun-again-first-experiments-with-html-in-canvas/)

The scared light cracks and disappears

Rather unexpectedly, a 3D printer is soon to enter my life (long story). It seems like printers are either entry-level $300-$400, or higher-end $1,000+. Is there anything worthwhile in the $750 area? This will be hobby-use only, not for business purposes or mass production. It cannot be resin for a variety of reasons, and I will not budge on this.

@ppk@front-end.social You could go the Tolkein route and call them “Wizard tickets”. (“A wizard is never late, nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.”) EDIT TO ADD: I just realized most people would be more likely to associate that ticket name with the wizardaring franchise created by She Who Should Not Be Named, so I withdraw the suggestion.

It’s frustrating that most American XL shirts fit my form, but are too short. When I go up a size, they’re the right length but drape too loosely. I don’t need shirts in XXL, I need XLL.

@masukomi @Ashmire Ah, that was dictated by them not being able to tell me where it would be located until it was done (because they weren’t going to ask for a place to put it until it was ready), only that it would almost certainly be outdoors. That plus the internal structures caused me to build it slope-back, and hope. If it becomes a problem in winter, hopefully it can be moved.

@robinhouston@mathstodon.xyz @christianp@mathstodon.xyz @eigen@mattstodon.panar.ooo Still, it pays to be efficient! We could slam them into the Moon fast enough for effective vaporization for less dV than it takes to yeet them into the Sun. Or, loft them around the Moon and bring them back on a high-energy atmospheric entry that would reduce them to vapor, especially if we save weight by removing the heat shield.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I am absolutely NOT messing with system-level sliders like those, that could bluescreen the whole thing if I push them too far out of band. I’m definitely digging through the inspector to find ALL the dependencies, though.

@masukomi Those were my choices. The roof is to let rain and snow melt run off (I also shingled and edge flashed it). The side door hinges were placed where the box’s structure was stronger, and so that it opened away from where the collections bin inside is placed.

@masukomi Collecting the donations. The way it all works is similar to this box: https://youtu.be/b3tHiYHFUzg?si=yeRFsnUB41qSeckb Edit to add: though I didn’t build it to be disassembled and stored away. Instead, I make the roof removable to make moving it a little easier.
