I've been reading the book called "How to Read A Book" and it's really opening my eyes to how much of a skill it really is. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get more out of their reading

McDonald's JP has a limited time spicy chicken burger 7/10 not as good as the one at Wendy's but will tickle a spicy chicken itch in a pinch
Your first point is valid, Markdown does suffer from the "N+1 competing standards" problem. The second one just seems like a user problem, though... The only multiline tags that need closed are code blocks and as much as I hate the word "obvious", that problem is pretty obvious
Small counterpoint: HTML is pretty annoying without auto-closing brackets and finding an editor that does it out of the box is also annoying
With Markdown you can pretty much download any editor and have support for previews, highlighting, internal reference linking if you use Obsidian, etc
"the games industry is in shambles and I will save it" as he reveals the worst puzzle game you've ever seen with a price tag
I don't really see pretzels at all otherwise π but tbf I haven't looked that hard
Oh I agree, but the past quarter of my team's self-directed workload has been "how do we create agentic experiences for our users" and "how do we make agents better at writing code for us"
I'm just in the corner trying to preserve my sanity
My coworkers are unfortunately quite enamored with it π
They are SO good, I wish I could get them so easily when it's not Santa time
Mind sharing a tip or two? I've got "starting a Godot project" coming up on my list soon π
std::string shambles = "Esper players";
don't worry i'll have a 20k line PR ready in a few days and all it will have cost me is the ability to feel shame and several hours arguing with you that this is Good and The Future
Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.
Cream cheese pretzels induce happy mouth
In a meeting where my manager was trying to convince the team that we need to "embrace AI coding" I said "struggle is when the learning happens" and his response was "well, I might have some thoughts on that"
sadly not as uncontroversial as might be hoped π
I'm not sure I'm ready to start book 10 of #malazan sob
Incredible series, no further comment
It's really cool to get a PR to your small dinky project that fixes an issue raised by someone not-me, like wow people use this dinky project and want to make it better... Sometimes people rock
I made a little example repo for using #sdl3 with #bazel modules, would appreciate some feedback πhttps://github.com/tarsir/SDL3_bazel
Zellij is nice as a tmux alternative too :p
Elevators have touchless buttons now wtf that rocks
Easiest follow of my life I love ζΉθ¨
It's kinda neat to me that the ONE OK ROCK vocalist started doing music when his parents didn't want him to and then OOR made it big
And his brother also did a similar thing with MY FIRST STORY
Anyway they both rule
Finished reading the Mistborn books today - fun reads! The setting rocks, Allomancy is cool, the action is pretty good. Dialogue and character thoughts felt kinda weird sometimes, but not a deal breaker by any means.
I hate presentations π©
