I love @webcatalog_app. Use it for Google apps at work (I can cmd-tab to Google Drive, it's not one of 800 tabs), and I use it for Twitter. It supports custom CSS in each app too, I just figured out I can hide the sidebar full of trending bullshit, Twitter is now 7% more peaceful https://t.co/mvMsSnFeNz

Interesting to see YouTube's Chief of Product threaten to deliberately not optimize for engagement in order to tank Canadian creator YT #s if Bill C-11 is passed. News stories I've seen report on his statements as if they make sense, but they're quite absurd if you're technical. https://t.co/Vy5u5f3W91

It makes sense that the Kindle version costs more actually, as Amazon must maintain the infrastructure to delete the book out of your account if they have a licensing dispute with the publisher, and that costs money https://t.co/pcVr4suV4I

A few caveats, like imports are a bit slower (I think due to no .pyc) and you can't use compiled modules this way. This means that you can't vendor pycrypto, and therefore you can't vendor requests either.

It's WAY faster to zip up a custom package with no dependencies than it is to create pip packages for it, and WAY faster to run that module than to pip install it and then run it.

I would have been using this for years if I had known about it. Awesome for sending code to third parties who can run a command line program but might not be Python developers used to pip.

Learned yesterday, you can zip up a Python module and pass it to the Python interpreter to run directly out of the zip file. Easily distribute your code and have it run anywhere that already has Python, without pip.

There's even a built-in module to help you with this! https://t.co/qWOQy7XxwP

I also learned that I have two fused bones in my foot that make ankle sprains more likely - interesting! Gotta strengthen that surrounding muscle.

Got my MRI results yesterday, conclusion was that marrow edema (approximately a 'bone bruise') of unclear origin. Implies either single impact that didn't hurt at the time, or perhaps long term small impacts over time. Nice to know, but I wish I could point to more specific cause

I learned today that my doctor cannot give me the MRI images they ordered, because they are owned by the imaging company. Ludicrous. Any "intellectual" "property" regime with this result should not be considered serious, and should be widely ignored.

This is what I saw when I realized: I did this. It's my fault. I am using build (https://t.co/uHaYKInLO4) and to invoke it I created a build script which I called the first thing that popped into my head, "https://t.co/yFAuJqzXE3" 🙃 https://t.co/Du3O0ksyHJ

Issues like this emphasize to me how little we know about the body. I want my nanotechnology medichine tricorder future, but goddamn we have a lot to figure out first.

My therapist suspects stress due to a bunch of personal issues coming to a head after carrying them for several years, and becoming more pressing over the summer.

I have no conclusion here, for all I know all of my specialists are right, or none of them are. My podiatrists gave me anti-inflammatories that helped, my personal trainer suggested stretches and exercises that also helped.

My therapist didn't remind me of this, but I immediately remembered that my worst bout of RSI was developed in the most stressful year of my career and ~90% dissipated for no physical reason I could identify after a short Christmas vacation.

Have had a weird, extremely painful issue in my left ankle for about 9 days now. Notable how all of my specialists think their specialty is the cause.

My podiatrists have tested for and ruled out a break, a sprain, gout, a joint infection (apparently very serious! requires surgery!), and I will get an MRI tomorrow to test for a cartilage issue.

My personal trainer suspects a strained muscle (apparently different from a sprain, which is an injured ligament). He can recall an experience that seems very similar to mine that turned out to be this.

Love QMK. Their docs are so fucking good. Hard to do for a highly technical project that wants to attract hobbyists. https://t.co/yZrMi87x0T

@jonst0kes @SubstackInc I think SVGs are not displayed reliably by email clients. I know from experience they're not by RSS clients. They might not be able to make them a good experience for readers.

@SubstackInc Even if I just had SVGs I could manage to use those for the tables. So really just SVGs, but tables + SVG FTW.

I need two things from @SubstackInc super duper bad right now: 1. Tables 2. SVGs Thanks!

This is kind of cheating, but I edited Tim Burton's Batman (1989) into a silent film and I rewatch it so often. One of my favorite creative exercises I've ever done, speaks to Burton's visual genius that the film still works so well without sound. https://t.co/N9yF8OmQYd https://t.co/awj0Wn48QI

Print shop fun. Found a blade left in the corner of a workshop sink for months, and jammed it in a box cutter shell. IT WORKS PERFECTLY and in more than three years it hasn't been stolen once. Printed a logo on it and I love my Tetanus Tool™. https://t.co/diKUz2H3rK

Disappointing to see someone just not committed to their dishonest craft. Whois information is public, you could have at LEAST used my real registrar and DNS servers. Sad! https://t.co/3fB5XETaDV

@Jowjoso Seems similar to S3 + CloudFront, from what I see on the marketing page to get a custom subdomain and SSL requires their CDN. Hard to tell, might still be less complicated than AWS (just like Kubernetes, brain surgery, and organic chemistry).

@mrled What about digitalocean spaces? I don't do binaries on it right now but its trivial to work, s3 compat, easy https via lets encrypt (managed by DO).

Maybe old-fashioned shared hosting is a good fit for this? I know in the past if you hosted a bunch of binaries the hosting companies would kick you off, not sure if storage has gotten cheap enough that they don't care any more.

Would love a good place for hosting static files on the web that works well for binaries and isn't expensive. Currently using S3 + CloudFront for a tiny Alpine APK repository, and it works but is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too complicated for the utility I'm getting from it.

Most recent issue is modifying the index but having the old one cached by CloudFront, which was incredibly confusing. There is of course a fix for this (just kidding, there are actually multiple ways to deal with this), but it's just not a good fit for what I need.

My perfect solution would be easy HTTPS via Let's Encrypt, easy upload via rsync, without any kind of CDN required. Happy to deal with CloudFront's complexity if I need a CDN, but not happy to need a CDN in order to get HTTPS on a custom domain as I need to do with S3.

It feels irresponsible to replace a 2020 Intel Mac with a new M1 to fix this, but when they're side by side like this it can't not drive me crazy. Now that I see how fast it COULD be, I get closer to impulse dropping $2k every single day. Truly, ignorance is bliss.

When switching the monitor from M1 to Intel, the M1 Mac is ready to use within a single second, and the Intel Mac can take 5-10 seconds, occasionally even more.

When switching the monitor to the Intel Mac, it will frequently detect it as 30hz only, TERRIBLY choppy. My standards aren't high! I want to use the thing at just 60hz, which is supported and works every time on the M1. I have to switch back/forth til the Intel Mac gets it right.

When switching to the M1, it detects it correctly every time. It also always takes less than 2 seconds to enable the monitor and be totally ready to go. It's fucking amazing.
