papa0101··on Blender's UI and Runtime: Much Faster Than GPUI
I still think Softimage|XSI was the best UI/UX that ever existed. Moving to Blender from it was... painful.
papa0101··on UK Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power
too little too late
papa0101··on The abandoned war: Why no one is stopping the genocide in Sudan
then bloody stop sending troops to all other countries under whatever pretexts.
papa0101··on AI could be the end of the digital wave, not the next big thing
margin: auto, or flex align-items/justify-content are my go-tos
papa0101··on A dot a day keeps the clutter away
I initially read "42000 pinned out files" and sat there, processing, for a minute. Professional deformation at its finest.
papa0101··on China is mass-producing hypersonic missiles for $99,000
absolute drivel, zero-substantiated, zero-value.
papa0101··on Grace Hopper's Revenge
Surprised to see Go scoring so low
papa0101··on AirPods Max 2
I'm still a big fan of my Bowers & Wilkins px7.
papa0101··on Farewell, Rust for web
React and its ecosystem is a pile of garbage perpetuated by industry inertia. UseState, useMemo, useThisAndThat where you have to guess whether that dependency will cause a re-render? Or 20 different routers, state managers, query builders? I'm not even talking about html-in-ts with `!!a && (<div>...</div>)` A stodgy, bloated, overhyped and misused monstrosity, that's what React is.
papa0101··on Days numbered for 'risky' lithium-ion batteries
This could potentially open doors for short-haul e-aviation. Very interesting
papa0101··on PGlite – Embeddable Postgres
yep PGLite + Go would be great!
papa0101··on I will do anything to end homelessness except build more homes (2018)
That, and reduce the immigration ffs. Importing a city-sized population (500k+) every year? - Sorry mate, you just won't be able to build a new city every year.
papa0101··on Bacteria (and their metabolites) and depression
The obligatory “To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
papa0101··on Cooking with black plastic is particularly crucial to avoid
All non-stick frying pans die within a year or so. We recently took the plunge and invested in a stainless steel one. Yes, it takes some (very little) time to adjust your cooking style, but that thing comes with a lifetime guarantee and you don't have to worry about accidentally scratching the surface. Win-win.
papa0101··on Ball: A ball that lives in your dock
Ah, reminds me of my intro to maths and trig in the good old Flash days! https://www.kirupa.com/developer/as3/physics_bounce_effect_p...
papa0101··on POV-Ray – The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (2021)
So, a socialist society then?
papa0101··on The last days of my type checker for JavaScript
That was google's original plan with Dart.
papa0101··on Show HN: Flyde – an open-source visual programming language
I suppose it all depends on personality: some swe's prefer to write, some prefer to draw (I do both, but would hate to only have to deal a 1mil-lines-of-code fractal, but would be (and am) fine with the 1970 approach). The OP's solution then might be a great addition to my toolbox.
papa0101··on JSR: The JavaScript Registry
It's not even needed anymore: "HN".padStart(10); That's it.
papa0101··on The lifespan of large appliances is shrinking
'You'll own nothing and be happy' world then?
papa0101··on Htmx and Web Components: A Perfect Match
slotchange is your answer. In the connectedCallback add the eventListener and inside your slotchange handler: const myBs = this._slot?.assignedElements();
papa0101··on Flowblade: Open-source video editor for Linux
Davinci Resolve works on Win, Mac and Linux. Switching to it from Adobe's Premier and Aftereffects was the best decision I've made. Oh, and it's free (not the Studio version).
papa0101··on YouTube strikes again, it seems
People have every right to be furious about it though. Look at amazon prime: they've now introduced ads for paying customers. Want no ads? - pay more. What will stop youtube from doing the same? After all, shareholders must appeased. Where does it end?
