    @schwa I didn’t think I was a churro person. Then I had a fresh-baked churro, somehow both soft and crispy, with bits of baked apple among the sugar and such. I’m a churro person now.

    I've been trying to think of every mixed RTL/LTR edge case I can, and finally feeling good about it

    @kepano incredible. As someone who regularly has to mix English and Farsi, I can’t tell you how excited I am to see writing programs take this need seriously. 🙏

    @schwa are those 2×4s and 2×3s? Or… 1×4s and 1×2s? Or… what?

    @schwa Oof. Do I know the pain of uncooperative lengths.

    Looks like a great design.

    @zachleat That raises questions I didn't previously have about what my spreadsheet knows about me.

    @schwa My entire approach to spilled/dripped wood glue changed upon watching my brother-in-law, a professional woodworker, operate.

    Me: Frantically wipes up beads and drops of wood glue the moment they appear, smearing and making a sticky filmy mess.

    Him: Leaves them alone. Lets them try. Effortlessly chips them off after they’ve dried. 🤯

    reefdog,
    @reefdog@mastodon.social avatar

    @schwa …though I’m not sure how that helps with glue on skin. Probably not at all.

    @schwa Huh. Haven't seen the show yet, but read the first book a while back and it certainly wasn't stupid. Had some truly fascinating ideas. It was, however, such dry reading that I didn't find continuing pleasant.

    Apparently books two and three pick up, and it's also more captivating the more you know (or want to learn) about recent Chinese history.

    My crowd (some having read the books, some not) has been pretty bullish on the show, so I was looking forward to it. YMMV.

    @schwa My children’s most vivid memory of me will be livid rants about devices without hardware on/off switches and where pressing any button turns it on (MBP keyboard; Apple TV remote; Switch controller).

    I think one of my least-favorite recurrent post genres is, “you’re bad or stupid if you live in a place I hate”.

    reefdog,
    @reefdog@mastodon.social avatar

    @MattHodges I had a friendship fracture over incorrigible victim-blaming after the Feb 2021 Texas snowpocalypse / grid failure. The most bad-faith incredulity about why we couldn’t handle sustained temperatures common in the north, premised on political distaste for the state. This by a very paper-intelligent person. 😕

    reefdog,
    @reefdog@mastodon.social avatar

    @MattHodges (of course, there were political and policy impacts on the grid failure. this was not that. this was “lol it’s barely below zero, does nobody there have a coat?” sort of grave-dancing. “infrastructure exists to mitigate this, haven’t you heard?” Etc.)

    @schwa Not that we should take moral cues from action films, but I'm having trouble thinking of a single one where a baddy takes a hostage as a human shield and the hero shoots the hostage to get to the baddy, and I'm also having trouble imagining the audience saying "well yes of course, what other option existed”

    I didn't appreciate that zeppelins carried passengers within their envelope—I figured everybody went in the gondola, and thought they just couldn’t carry many people. But, no, the gondola was just for the pilot. This setup reduced drag and could carry nearly 100 people at about 80 mph.

    Bring back airships! They're as fast as U.S. trains, but don't require tracks, and are really efficient means of travel.

    @waldoj I would really like to know if they could replace some amount of long-haul trucking.

    @simon_brooke @waldoj Oh wow, that surprises me. There go my shipping magnate ambitions.

    Do you use SVG to create favicons for your websites or web apps?

    Got links to big sites that use SVG favicons? Reply with examples!

    reefdog,
    @reefdog@mastodon.social avatar

    @jensimmons For https://pilot.philanthropydatacommons.org/, not only did we use an SVG favicon, we used @argyleink's "adaptive favicon” technique¹ to ensure the icon was legible in light and dark themes! See the source here: https://github.com/PhilanthropyDataCommons/data-viewer/blob/main/public/icon.svg?short_path=133f5fe

    @cloudcannon Just a heads up: not having a link to your website in your Mastodon profile meant people — like me, just now! — who discover you via via Mastodon have to pop over to a browser, search for you, and hope they land in the right spot.

    Considering I was very interested in learning about your service, that's not a great speed bump!

    Feels like there are a lot of things going unsaid in the Gatsby.js community right now 😬

    reefdog,
    @reefdog@mastodon.social avatar

    @zachleat "We’re committed to the maintenance and innovation of Gatsby JS as an enterprise grade framework, with focus on stability and support for large scale projects.”

    That definitely says enough for anyone who’s not a Netlify enterprise customer. 🙃

    @paul Much more of a mountain town feel — higher elevation, quieter, calmer, prettier, no flatland every time you look east — but still with good proximity to CS.

    FTX: We’d like you to promote our magic money faucet run by children from a TikTok mansion in the Bahamas.

    Tom Brady: Sounds great!
