This is also for Blender.

For Google: For primary keyboard modifiers to work with keys pressed on another keyboard (e.g., external numpad) on macOS: get Karabiner-Elements (OSS) and set "Treat as built-in Keyboard".

Otherwise a MacBook's keyboard shift etc modifiers won't apply to keys hit on the other keyboard.

How to win at life:

1. Get an external numpad for Blender
2. Place it on your non-mouse side
3. Spend 30 minutes getting used to it

That's it.

I watch The Slow Mo guys at 2.5x speed.

iTerm2's right-click context menu, containing 35 top-level items, 6 of which are groups, along with 14 separators.

Totally normal amount of stuff in a terminal context menu. Nothing to see here.

Let's do this.

It seems a few reports were opened late in the cycle as the release candidates were being tested: github.com/godotengine/...

I've started saying more specific phrases like "pathfinding" or "combat behavior" to avoid three sentences of disclaimers. Sucks.

If you spend a lot of time retargeting Mixamo animations in Godot, @wchc.pl's branch of Godot-Mixamo-Animation-Retargeter still works in 4.6, while the original doesn't.

I really like the format. Progressively disclosing code alongside your script is really helpful, and the length is great.

If this were a text blog post, I would've opened it in a background tab for "when I have time to check this out" and not gotten back to it for a while.

I subconsciously still associate blue checks with crypto scams and racebait posting from Twitter.

I think Bluesky should've chose a different symbol for verification.

Way convenient to toggle on and off, too.

A macOS screenshot of the Audio Hijack application containing a pipeline of "Chome" to "Clarity VX" plugin to "Default System Output"

Audio Hijack + Waves Clarity VX voice isolation DAW plugin is awesome at removing wind, traffic noise or background music from noisy interviews, news clips, bad conference audio, etc.

Not sure why I didn't think of this when I started using Clarity in Logic last year.

If this takes more than a day, there's no hope for the rest of us.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Haha. You dudes should just cash out.

i recently saw a movie in which some of the characters turned out to be pretty stupid, and it got me thinking. do you think there are any stupid people in real life

In 2023 I flew coast-to-coast in the US.

Departing, a TSA agent announced "don't unpack laptops and phones: it's not 2001, our machines can see what they are."

On the trip back, I asked: "Laptops in or out?". The agent said "Sir, a little thing called 9/11 happened, maybe you've heard of it?"

Pierre Poilievre its now free to follow his dream: Being a Trump-licking, MAGA-larping truck driver in Canada. Congratulations.

What we're living in really hit me when I realized I was concerned for my family's situation because I'm a super well-documented member of the DSA. A mostly bland thing a few years ago.

I'm cool going down fighting, but I can imagine the chilling effect for others.

I know I'm old, because Natalia Lafourcade's new album "Cancionera", released yesterday, is going to be my favorite thing that happens this month.

I have a minifridge beside my desk. When its compressor kicks on, it sounds exactly like a spinning-disk hard drive from the 90s.

Every time I hear it, I think "this file is going to take forever to load." I've only had SSDs for like a decade.

There are proposals (2023+) targeting this, so it's not unknown, but it's so in-your-face once you start dealing with animations, I worry about those that can't `s/Old/New/g` it.

The only thing I've found in Godot so far that'd actually be embarrassing to explain to the uninitiated is that it's impossible to change the target of an AnimationPlayer/AnimationLibrary in the IDE after it's set-up.

This feels like table-stakes. I open them in a text editor, but, you know...

Godot non-hiccup of the day: Jolt Physics in @godotengine.org is so stable you can stack spheres, free one in the middle, and the rest re-stack. Impressive.

I want to live in less interesting times.

Best thing about USB Type-C:

I wonder what my mouse says to the internet when I accidentally try to charge it with my ethernet adapter.

If only Tim Apple were on bsky instead of donating a million dollars to a fascist inauguration.

I know a Finder file-browser window and the desktop are the same process. Apple knows a Finder file-browser window and the desktop are the same process.

I don't care: I should be able to command-Q a Finder file-browser window instead of command-W. No one can defend this behavior.
