I didn't see it in IMAX the first time and I've been thinking of going back again. Either that or ScreenX.

Project Hail Mary Only In Theaters 03.20.26 Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission...

Do you have a 3D printer? They also have a free downloadable model to print Rocky's sculpture of Grace

I saw Project: Hail Mary last Thursday and it blew me away. Easily among my top 10 favorite movies. I'd listened to Ray Porter's amazing narration of the novel a few years ago, so I'd been looking forward to the adaptation for a while. I'm curious how it held up for anyone who hadn't read the book.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Code

Is this a novelization of Critical Role's Legend of Vox Machina, or some other story with twins of the same name?

After taking some time off and spending the summer with my kids before they go back to college, I'm happy to announce that I'll be starting a new role at F5 next week! Thanks to everyone that reached out over the past few months. I'm very much looking forward to what's next!

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

Power finally came back up an hour ago, so we'll have AC to beat the worst of the heat this week.

Plus we are supposed to be hosting a graduation party this weekend.

The storm that blew through PA knocked out power in my neighborhood and downed trees on the only two ways out. The trees have seen been cleared, but the estimate for power coming back up is *sunday*. No AC during the entirety of the heat advisory this weekend is not going to be fun.

4️⃣ Explicit Resource Management
4️⃣ Array.fromAsync
4️⃣ Error.isError
2️⃣ Math.clamp
2️⃣ Seeded Pseudo-Random Numbers
1️⃣ Keep trailing zeros in Intl.NumberFormat and Intl.PluralRules
1️⃣ Random Functions

I didn't know In-N-Out sold burritos.

After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @chronicles.org on advancing the Enum proposal to Stage 1 at TC39 today 🎉

This aims to bring the good parts of TypeScript enums to JavaScript plus enhancements such as new datatypes & potentially runtime performance improvements 👍

These were molded. I 3D printed the masters for the mold.

This is my first time working with resin, but I've worked with pewter molds for D&D minis years ago so I had a rough idea of the process. YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and trial and error were a big help in figuring out the rest.

I also ran into issues maintaining the right temperature while curing. If the dice were still a bit soft after demolding, I ended up putting them in the build chamber of my X1C for 12hrs while running the filament dryer function. It should be easier to maintain a good temperature during the summer.

I've also learned that I should have poured the base mold with the lowest numbers facing down so the lowest number is then facing up when I pour the cap. That way, imperfections due bubbles appear on the lowest/worst number.

My third attempt (the OP) turned out great after I picked up a pressure pot and cured the resin at ~30 bars. Still had a few small bubbles I fixed with UV resin.

Second attempt at resin dice. Still has bubbles.

Attempt #2 still had bubbles despite the silicone stirring stick, and I learned that I should warm up the resin before mixing because my basement is too cold, and a vacuum degasser is not effective at removing bubbles from resin.

First attempt at resin dice. Lots of bubbles are present.

Attempt #1 had way too many bubbles, and I learned I should mix the resin with a silicone stirring stick and *not* a popsicle stick. A popsicle stick is too rough and porous and introduces thousands of micro-bubbles.

I print a lot of random stuff on my X1C (not pictured). The resin printer is for making D&D minis and the masters I used to make these:

bsky.app/profile/chro...

They are all a pretty standard size. I used calipers on the various dice I had when designing the masters.

Hand crafted resin dice. Half of each die is transparent resin with purple glitter, the other half is a swirl of purple and violet. The numbers on each die are inked in yellow acrylic paint. There is a single tear drop D4, four D6, and one of each D8, D10, D%, D12, and D20.

New (and unfortunately expensive) hobby: Making dice. This was my first good set (though the third attempt) and was a gift to my daughter.

Typescript Just Got 10x Faster YouTube video by Syntax

🚨 TypeScript just got 10× faster!

The TypeScript compiler has been ported to Go and we had Anders Hejlsberg and Daniel Rosenwasser on to announce it and break it all down!

TypeScript *earth-shattering* excitement 😉

The TypeScript team have rewritten the compiler in Go in order to optimize performance 🎉

🔹 10x faster type-checking 🔥
🔹 Uses significantly less memory

This will hugely improve the TypeScript authoring & compilation experience.

FINALLY WE CAN SAY WHAT'S BEEN COOKING

A 10x Faster TypeScript - TypeScript Embarking on a native port of the existing TypeScript compiler and toolset to achieve a 10x performance speed-up.

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness!
