Almost a year since I started playing and I've finally hit 600 #ELO.

I've seen some IMs say that the 'hell wall' in #chess is around 600, and my play is highly volatile depending on how tired/well/hungover I am, so I'm not expecting to get much better quickly.

I'm not sure what to aim for next. Double my rating in the next year? Hit 1,000 by end of the year? Maybe six months? Something like that.

@rhys fuck you.

@rhys you capitalised expertly on my mistakes. I hate myself and I want to die.

I'm at a pretentious wine bar, the sort that stays open as late as you, and five guys just walked in and ordered ten pints of Heineken.

@rhys what’re you gonna do about it?

Had some feedback that gave me an idea, and I think I really like it.

A video that shows a sneak peak from my upcoming blog post. At the top is a box labelled "tasks", in that box there are two list items: - Click the button to send a request to the server. - Click the button rapidly to see a request get dropped. Below that is another box with a circular button on the left, and a black square on the right. A cursor moves to the button and clicks. An orange circle is fired from the button to the square, and then slowly disappears. As this happens, the first list item gets struck through. Then the cursor clicks rapidly, and one of the orange circles bounces off the square because there's already a circle inside it. As it does, it turns red and falls off screen. The 2nd list item gets struck through.

@monospace yes 😅 but I suspect because I’m still not very good at making them.

This goes harder than anything from 10 years ago has a right to go.

A gif showcasing the post linked to in the tweet. We see the heading "Implementing Bret Victor's Learnable Programming" and the first paragraph of the post. Then we see a visualisation that has a block of code on the left. The block reads: var shift = 0; while (shift <= 200) { if (shift % 3) { stroke(0, 0, 0, 52); } else { stroke(0, 0, 0, 128); } line(shift, 0, 230, shift); shift += 14; } Then in the middle there's a timeline that you can scrub through and each point in the timeline represents a line of code executing in the code sample. There are 51 steps in total, representing that 51 lines of code were executed (some lines execute more than once). On the far right we see the result of the code sample, which is a 2d drawing of lines. You only see the lines drawn up to the point you scrub to in the timeline.

There’s a story here, and I am excited for Apple to fund a film adaptation of it.

@simon Sadly TikTok dwarfs it so it's tricky to compare. Seems to follow a similar-ish trend?

https://symbol.wtf has had more PRs than all of my other open source projects combined.

Not bad for a silly little side project I made in an hour and a half.

Tomorrow I will celebrate one year of being cigarette-free/vape-free/nicotine-free 🎉

Any ideas how I should celebrate this?

Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.

Replied to all of your PRs. Thanks to those who contributed! 🙏

@mike Heard from more than a few other people that do the same. You're not alone!

@usul you’re welcome to open a PR :)

@coderbyheart hmm, good point. How do I solve that?

samwho,
@samwho@hachyderm.io avatar

@forteller legit no idea, 72 hours ago I didn't know it existed.

samwho,
@samwho@hachyderm.io avatar

@coderbyheart I went with option 1. How does it feel now?

@niutech because those sites exist. This one is for me and the symbols I need.

I’m not sure that anyone criticizing MKBHD’s Humane pin review actually watched it.

samwho,
@samwho@hachyderm.io avatar

@mike The review itself was really good, he'd clearly spent time with it and found some good among the bad. The title, at least to me, did feel like it was a little off compared to the content of the review. I can see how he drew criticism for it.

samwho,
@samwho@hachyderm.io avatar

@mike I've got that follow-up video in my to-watch queue. I've got a lot of respect for him, think he's always balanced and thoughtful in his reviews. It's a shame to see a lot of people so angry at him for this.
