Fellow oldies (okay, mid-40s and up): I assume it's totally normal that your body is just shit are repair as you (read: ME) gets older? I got sun burn about a month ago and I'm still peeling (yeah, it's gross, but it's not like I peeling skin off and slipping it into people's pint glasses or anything…).

That's normal, right? (not the pint glass thing, that's just the way I was raised…CHAOS)

@rem once you get to 50 you get regular emails/text from the NHS that keep asking you to come in and get checks. I just got one today about blood pressure.
But yeah our bodies are not designed to live longer than 40.

@rem Cuts and bruises and marks last an eternity now.

The “my finger joints hurt” is now “oh, limited movement and swollen? Arthritis? Fuck”

Age happens when you aren’t looking.

Look, this blog post is essentially: vitest did the job, but I added some fluff to that sentence and made a whole page. Go read it (if you so feel inclined...or don't...) https://remysharp.com/2024/06/07/adding-tests-to-a-typescript-next-trpc-project-without-the-faff

@rem @thisismissem TIL: the word faff

"Next.js - the framework everyone uses TypeScript with"

But it looks silly calling it Next.ts.

Nextts

Pronounced: "Nitts"?

(I mean, not everyone but…you know, kinda everyone…)

Forgot to include how to make the Casio f-91 fully water proof (rather than water resistant) - one person tested to beyond 500m deep (which…I might have trouble going to…): https://remysharp.com/2024/05/25/casio-f91w-modding#making-it-water-proof-to-over-500m

So glad I'm spending real money on copilot. Soooooo useful…

(though when it does auto-complete, it's neat…not sure it's £19 a month… but my boss is stupid (my boss is me…))

What's the simplest way (you know) to get a linux terminal shell (I've got an M1 mac and I need an x86 arch, so docker and parallels are out).

Any suggestions (otherwise I'll have to brave the damn AWS console…)

Really looking forward to seeing @katiefenn's talk at State of the Browser ☞ https://2024.stateofthebrowser.com/speaker/katie-fenn/ (I've known about it for a few … years? now)

This is bit of a stretch ask, and, possibly very vague, but - I've been trying (and struggling) to find potential speakers for that can talk on the subject of "how to think critically / being sceptical".

Ideally wanting UK based, but can stretch to Europe.

Any suggestions?

@rem @sarajw Maybe @dahukanna - this would be something interesting?

Apparently I can now recognise a blackbird singing. Not especially special, but not a skill I expected to gain.

@rem are you going to be the LLM of bird song?

Finally got around to installing Red Viper on my 3DS - and it's so cool. Never played a VirtualBoy before and I suspect this might be an even better experience.

I've been reading "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" (thank you @dletorey for the tip), and I'm really (really) enjoying it - no spoilers please (about 75% through).

But it's giving me an extremely strong desire to MAKE. I really want to make a thing, but first - work, but also - where to start (too many (stupid) ideas).

Still, excellent book, definitely recommend (so long as it doesn't bork it in the last 1/4th)

@rem I read this last year and the maker feeling hasn’t gone away.

How much of the internet is down at the moment? Last week it was duckduckgo (via bing), now it's discord, I'm sure there was another key site that was down earlier today too… 🤔

To be fair I think its all feeling a bit down at the moment.

Finally did some blogging (my "2 a month" is really failing lately). Anyway, for tech-free weekenders (good on yer), I wrote about modding some lovely Casio watches: https://remysharp.com/2024/05/25/casio-f91w-modding

@rem Ah, I can see Amazon's got a few from Thailand, Japan …

@colin_howells eBay and, in the UK, Argos (they have the blue and orange for £15 - which is cheaper than anywhere else)
