661: Working Vacations, Ripping Out JavaScript, and Non-US Cloud Service Options What are the non-US cloud services options, falling off the blogging train and trying to get back on, working on vacation, Chris recaps the Alaskan Folk Festival experience, how often do you go bac… ShopTalk · shoptalkshow.com Chris hit me where it feels about 10 minutes in. He said he has not been writing on his site as much lately and how hard it is to get back in. He mentions having a baby idea of a post, but then having the thought do you really want to come back from a long break with this! Momentum is a b**** when you got it you cant stop, and when you don’t you can’t stop.

How is usability and it doing the thing I paid for it to do a selling point?? Any time I’ve touched a windows machine in the past 7 years has felt awkward, I have no idea where things are now, but they look so much worse.

A quote from Mark Zuckerberg You also mentioned the whole Chatbot Arena thing, which I think is interesting and points to the challenge around how you do benchmarking. How do you know what models are … Simon Willison’s Weblog · simonwillison.net Interesting how confidently he says we can easily go to the top. really makes you wonder what we the normies are leaving on the table by using these general purpose models and what could be achieved with really tuned in models. Could I make an automatic blog tagger more accurately, maybe smaller, maybe tuned so well it runs fine on cpu?
P. Martin Ortiz: Web apps can easily adapt to whatever device you’re on. A single responsive website can run on your desktop, phone, tablet, or even a VR headset. What’s even more, they can be... Chris Coyier · chriscoyier.net The web is everywhere, its the one true write once and run anywhere platform.

Helm - Postiz Documentation Install Postiz using Kubernetes and Helm Postiz Documentation · docs.postiz.com I didn’t realize that postiz had a helm chart, I just hand rolled mine based on the compose file they provide. I went from running the compose stack locally to running in my homelab with kubernetes. I am using cnpg rather than a postgres container which I really like the workflow of as far as backup and restore. The one hiccup I ran into was changing the domain from localhost to my homelab domain killed all of my integrations and they needed the redirect url updated.
portal-platformer-devlog-1
Here is the current state of my platformer yet to really be named, I want to make something in between hollow knight and portal. Starting I made one once in make code arcace on a pybadge. It was quick and dirty, but fun to work on. It had the basic of blocks that I could move, blocks i could put a portal onto, and a goal for each level. Some levels you can just walk through and some levels required you to really think about where to place the portal. History So this version of the game is a least 2 years in the making, I open it every few months give it a day or two and move on. Its mostly something that I work on with my son. He really likes to jump around on projects so its hard to make real progress on something, but we are hitting an age where he is able to come back to projects a little better. All of this is built in python, and mostly before vibe coding was a thing, its mostly me trying to get out ideas as quick as my son is spitting out the the next idea. Coyote It includes a f…

This is a wild concept for a slicer, essentially he didn’t even make a slicer just a crazy pre-process and post prossess to cura slicer, deforming the part until it doesn’t have any overhangs, creating a normal planar slice, then undeforming the output from cura. He also mentions that the rapid moved needed modified as well. I’m assuming this is because they are generally long distances and not short, without breaking these long lines up we would still end up wtih a straight line after deform.
