Just randomly ended up on a film set and they asked me to do the slate.

A friend of mine revealed he never considered his career to be central to who he is as a person. "I'd rather grow giant pumpkins or something." This is someone in a role you'd assume was attained through years of devotion.

A comic book movie is to cinema as a comic book is to literature.

Web AI feature idea: when code is onscreen in a video, make it selectable, with formatting. Wondering how many years until this is implemented. Nowadays we have to make a public repo or codepen/jsfiddle for a lesson if we want people to play with the source.

Marveling at the realism of Eaglie the bald eagle on Peacemaker.

Not a ravenous fan of comic book films (CBMs?), but Superman was worth a trip to the theater.

Wondering if anyone's used Nest, and as a fan of JS frameworks, whether I should add it to the skillset. I already work in NextJS/React, React Native and Angular.

Seems like the market's picking up a little. That's encouraging. S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have reached new highs. Feels like we should be experiencing an upswell in tech. It's been disheartening to see bad earnings reports in previous months—it's impacted me, for sure.

No one's ever done a biopic about Frank Lloyd Wright. What a life, what a genius.

Been struggling with a weak left leg. Today I put a level on my bike seat while it was on the trainer.

Regular people are so much more interesting than superheroes.

Tailwind doesn't like dynamic values in background color utility classes. No = `. bg-gray-${ternary expression}. `.Yes = `. bg-[#${ternary expression}]`.

Looking for an excuse to use three.js again. It's time.

Wondering about the impact of CSS logic. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think its complete lack of logic is absolutely essential.

Maybe consciousness is all the senses being evaluated by our minds, with the primary goal being survival. Maybe giving rise to a conscious being will involve providing all these senses and a brain to process them, then flipping a switch.

AGI could be possible without truly grasping consciousness. It may happen out of the blue. The question is whether it's falsifiable.

Existential dread for gen z. Best thing for us to focus on is making sure their runway is clear. Because from what I'm seeing, it isn't.

It's difficult to evaluate someone's design work now. You have to trust that their samples were created without AI. Or do you? Maybe a designer's ability to prompt is as important professionally as their artistic skill.

If you need to copy an existing React Native project and install it with a different name on your system, use npx react-native-rename <yournewprojectname>. Then filesystem search for all instances of the previous name and change them. Fix the target in XCode and you're set!.
