grimgrin··on Hologram Works. Sponsor What Comes Next
right, you're using the tool for the job. author was reaching for reliability, re: OTP/beam. now we don't know if they actually needed it, but, you're saying the same thing to me
grimgrin··on Judge a book by its first pages
maybe it is mostly books, but the first one it served me was a /r/aita post

grimgrin··on A better way to tie gym shorts (or any drawstring) [video]
they're right, we're wrong. look, if you got XXXL shorts on a medium waist and tie an _excellent_ standard knot, and you are very active for a while? those shorts are gonna loosen up for sure

this knot rules, i'm glad i went back and tried it :)

grimgrin··on A better way to tie gym shorts (or any drawstring) [video]
I got through an entire day yesterday in massively oversized gym shorts, by simply forming a standard loop, and wrapping it _twice_. That extra friction (the second wrap) has worked for years on shoes, boots, and, very large shorts

I will not be learning a fancy knot because I have no need

grimgrin··on 1k Words: A Writing Contest
fwiw, this entire thread exists because of the ignored [2] in the link.

[2] Write 1,000 words about it by August 31st, 2026.

this is 1 of the two constraints. you may have to rework sentences. the skills exercised are these efforts

yeah. scrolling this expansion list, you can see 2018 was really the last _block_ as we knew them: few sets labeled under a theme an author might write a book about

also shortly after we see new sets stopped getting their own wiki articles

grimgrin··on Zed 1.0
many became used to this behavior with notepad++ and though it's not cross-platform, if you never entirely left windows, you're possibly still using it. especially if it's to paste giant json blobs, as npp has a plugin system, with json formatting and the like ~

anyways, sometimes i think about npp when subline is mentioned

grimgrin··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
github is their precious. i’ve heard it called that name before, though not by them /G
grimgrin··on I'm never buying another Kindle, and neither should you
probably because of android 11
grimgrin··on Not buying another Kindle
the only bit of the service i cared about was mailing my kindle address mobis/epubs (even the mobile kindle app receives these)

today i use a boox page, after a friend complimented his

grimgrin··on Isaac Asimov: The Last Question (1956)
okay so i'll be the sole commenter of: hex.ooo is an incredible domain name to me, maybe because i dig its UI, but certainly just in general

didn't know about ooo, maybe because it's not available on namecheap!

grimgrin··on Servo is now available on crates.io
when servo is ready i have plans to swap it into qutebrowser which ive been growing fonder of
grimgrin··on Starfling: A one-tap endless orbital slingshot game in a single HTML file
I wasn’t suggesting you open source it, for what it’s worth
grimgrin··on Starfling: A one-tap endless orbital slingshot game in a single HTML file
Publish yours un-minified like OP, so we can easily riff w/ or w/o an LLM ;)
grimgrin··on Generative art over the years
generated wallpapers are my fav

though really i just mean changing wallpapers, like https://satelliteeyes.tomtaylor.co.uk/

my thing is a collection of public city webcams from around my state, that get applied to various displays on a cron. i add noise, saturation, etc. sometimes two displays get such a wallpaper that i find the combination lovely

( this is a top/bottom setup https://i.imgur.com/Xc8RdnW.jpeg )

now, this isn't really generative. but i've imagined and toyed with it. splotches of greyscale, or flip that and only splotches of color

i've imagined embedding secrets, whatever that means

grimgrin··on Show HN: A cartographer's attempt to realistically map Tolkien's world
What happened to all of OP's comments? I swear they were scattered throughout here last night? Did they prune themselves out? :P
grimgrin··on Show HN: A cartographer's attempt to realistically map Tolkien's world
I wouldn't consider the size of a MUD map by its pixels, really. You consider its size, in this case, by number of rooms

Though MUME is obviously large, a few ten-thousand rooms

grimgrin··on Show HN: A cartographer's attempt to realistically map Tolkien's world
Always known of MUME, though wasn't a part of my mud history. I've wondered how the other tolkien muds compare, though most would be much smaller worlds I'm sure.

If you set the Genre here to Tolkien you can see a list of some: https://mudstats.com/Browse

> MUME is a free multi user role-playing game based upon J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Middle Earth' that has been continuously running since fall '91. The action takes place in the late Third Age, before 'The Hobbit' and after the loss of the One Ring by Sauron. The key of Erebor was just found by Gandalf and all the epic tales narrated in 'The Lord of the Rings' may take place. MUME covers 23'000+ original rooms from the mighty Dwarven Halls beyond the Gulf of Lh???n in the West to the fringes of Mirkwood in the East, and from the ruins of Fornost in the North to the fortress of Isengard in the South. In this meticulously crafted world where fantasy tales come to life players join... https://mume.org/

grimgrin··on Book review: There Is No Antimemetics Division
You can read the original here https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub

There is also the rough draft. I've only read the wiki and the first draft of book

Oddly I gifted the actual book away before reading it (I can buy it again, I thought)

grimgrin··on One ant for $220: The new frontier of wildlife trafficking
I've had a bugshop bookmark for a while. Never to buy, merely curious. I like bugs

https://bugsincyberspace.com/about/

glad to say search shows no "queen" results, though idk if that means anything

grimgrin··on Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology (2019)
you just called rock 'n rye a boring flavor??

it's one of the regulars here i'd say. in my head i see cola/rye/cream as the "always available" at convenient stores etc

grimgrin··on JSLinux Now Supports x86_64
a bit cute that you interacted with the 1 AI thread. there are other threads!
grimgrin··on Building a new Flash
".fla / XFL import — This is the one I’m most proud of. You can open your old Flash files. As far as I know, this is the only open-source tool that functions as a full authoring environment and can actually import .fla files. Not just play them back — edit them."

as to when they share the source, idk!

grimgrin··on The happiest I've ever been
I'm sure we've all met an unhappy teacher. As well, ain't no way you're pulling me back into an office ;)
grimgrin··on Wikipedia deprecates Archive.today, starts removing archive links
update the etymology then on wikipedia with your reference

that current etymology is what we’re all talking about obv

grimgrin··on Claude Code's compaction discards data that's still on disk
i use https://github.com/sirmalloc/ccstatusline and when im around 100k tokens im already thinking about summarizing where we're at in the work so i can start fresh with it

it is pretty rare for me to compact, even if i let it run to 160k

--

just realized how i wouldn't think about using ccstatusline based a quick glance at its README's images. looks like this for me:
