Yeah JS. I use Ghost.org though, no custom stuff. Let me see what this is, it doesn't look like this for me
farslan··on The lamps in my house
It’s almost entirely Philips Hue’s in my Room. The rest is scattered. They are all warm kelvin bulbs.

Yeap it's a Kiyola. Both my kids and I love to play Piano.

Oh those, are vertically shot ones! They are not thinned. Their composition are like that. When you press/click on them you should be able to see them in full page. They look nice on the phone, but on your desktop/ipad (depending on the orientation) it might look bad yeah.

Thank you! And yes Druk was a really great movie.
farslan··on The lamps in my house
Hm how?
farslan··on The lamps in my house
Have two kids, 7 and 10 years old. It’s ok if they grow with it!
farslan··on The lamps in my house
Yeap! All of them are Phillips Hue bulbs and switches.

Yay or nay? I can change it :)

That's not true! We have demand for bigger machines and we also sell them. You can go checkout the PlanetScale website. See: https://x.com/samlambert/status/2077197049129587150

There are truly customers that bigger machine no longer cuts.

I wrote it in the blog post, it's 200x75cm

Before the Vitsoe, I had an Elvarli from IKEA.

Lol. I just love things man. What a rude comment. You even don’t know me :) Check my x.com/fatih account for more. I don’t withhold the things that bring me joy.

Both are also early Go engineers and developers who hacked on the Go stdlib for years. Most people in the Go community know them. Great people, and the idea speaks for it. I wish them best of luck.
farslan··on Claude Sonnet 4 now supports 1M tokens of context
Yeah same, I'm curious about this. I would guess it's by default enabled with Claude Code.
farslan··on The Barbican
TIL about this, thanks so much.
farslan··on The Barbican
Thank you! I've fixed it.
farslan··on The Barbican
Funny because I always thought of `nit` as something like `btw`. It never occured to me it's actually an abbrevation of nitpick :) Learnt something new today. I'll fix it, thank you!

(English is my second language, so stuff like this can happen sometimes)

People always ask which camera or lens I use, hence I added it upfront. Leica's are expensive I agree. It was a dream of mine to use it though for almost two decades. I finally was in a position to get it three years ago.

To your question, the RAW's, unprocessed files are not like this from a Leica. You need to color grade (photographers say "post processing"). Color grading is used mostly for Video. In Photography, there are a lot of other things, it's mostly about light, not color. Highlights, Shadows, Contrast, Blacks/Whites etc.. Of course colors are also very important.

If you want good colors straight out of the camera, you could look into FujiFilm.

Thank you!
farslan··on The Barbican
You’re right. I submitted it as The Barbican here, because that felt more natural for me. I just updated the title of my blog post to The Barbican as well
farslan··on The Barbican
All good, thanks for mentioning it. I really want to visit it. The tour guide said it's open on certain days/hours.
farslan··on The Barbican
Op. The greenhouse was closed, hence I hadn't a chance to photograph the place. There are too many details about that place, and I only shared the pieces that I've had chance to thoroughly visit.
farslan··on The Barbican
OP here. I hadn't a chance to visit it. Because of that, I also don't have any photos from there. But good point. I actually just received one of the books I recommend at the end of the blog post, which actually goes into the Barbican Event centre in more detail.

I used Apple's Silicon Case as a base for my design.

Thank you for the comment. I learned a lot from you and will look into these. Are there any resources I could use to learn more about these, especially sculpting smooth models?
farslan··on I designed a Dieter Rams-inspired iPhone dock
Interesting you said that, but I used G2 almost everywhere, except in the inner holes of the phone part. If you share a picture, I can happily show the Sharp3D equivalent. Maybe the G2 curvature wasn't as aggressive as it should be?

Thank you!

I tried, but then the look completely changes.

Can you expand by what you mean by `top heavy`? The center of mass is actually not at the top.
