lol, the website reminds me of tropes like the professional cleaner whose house is messy, the chef who eats instant noodles at home, or the haut couture fashion designer who only wears jeans and tees. The colour expert whose website is monochrome.

My impression is that they are a compression expert, not a color expert. Make sense they chose uniform flat colors :D

"The cobbler's children have no shoes."

Maybe he understands the field so much that he prefers to exercise it minimally in his hobby. Or maybe he just can't decide. It also makes perfect sense for a study in colors to be against a neutral background.


This looks like a blame allocation exercise to me.

The seniors will now be directly responsible for all the AI slop that goes in. But how can they possibly properly review reams of code to a sufficient degree they can personally vouch for it?


I'm beginning to think that the problem of 'late capitalism' is quite related to the ability of companies to acquire other companies.

Thereby eating their competition, either by stifling upcoming competitors or to gain degrees of monopoly power by joining with peers.

What would the world look like if you you simply could not do that?


Governments did used to go some way to stopping companies acquiring other companies and would even split monopolies up. But they all just kinda stopped doing that in more recent years.

anyway, another vote here, for anti-capitalism

it's a nearly useless shadow alphabet

and we can dispense with much other punctuation

if we simply structure text semantically


The navigation is broken on this for me. If I zoom in, the mouse panning is still at the zoomed out level. I mean I have to move the mouse increasingly accurately and in small increments as I zoom in, as though I'm still panning the zoomed-out map. And the zoomed-out map itself is not exactly fluid.


Good catch, thanks. Just pushed a fix, rotation speed now scales with zoom level. Should feel much better when zoomed in.


Exactly, massive price increases with the fake tariffs, hiring freezes because 'AI can do it all', who knew these things might affect jobs?


"As long as it's just theoretical I don't have to feel bad. Just keep plowing ahead and breaking things."

Well it's about to turn from theory to reality very soon.


"American heroes may be lost", Trump said. He argued this would be a necessary price to pay to inflict damage.

lol. "Some of you will lose your lives. But that's a price I'm willing to pay"


I usually have egg on toast with plenty of butter. The combination sits squarely in the dark region I think.

I also get up early and it is often actually dark.


what a mess

and, i'll bet, just the first of many


This seems obvious but I guess needs 'official research' to register.

A quote I remember from a coleage - 'They wouldn't give me a pay rate rise, so I gave myself one, by working less hours in a day'


It'll never register, lol.

It'll end up being a tick box moment in some Friday after 5 minute management training document that got completed while thinking about what to do over the weekend.


> It'll never register, lol.

Which is why people do it.

You get fired if you just stop showing up on Thursdays, but not if you start reading comics on your phone for the first hour of every workday.


Yeah, naw. My team ended up firing an engineer who could have been reading comics or something for the first hour or two. The guy usually showed up to meetings but didn't deliver any work for three months.


Yeah, I think nobody is gonna tell their boss "I did not like the way you treated me, so I will take a day off for feeling slightly sick". So, while it all sounds obvious, the extent of "idgaf then" is not easy to quantify.


I think zfg is a measurable quantity.
