What a hero. Rats are so smart. I previously asked what I think was an official account on Instagram and was relieved that the rats are apparently too light to set off the mines.
I use ScreenFloat[0] in a similar way to catch differences between GUI settings, like the cPanel PHP extensions selector, which has tons of checkboxes. Position a screenshot of settings for site A over the settings for site B, adjust the transparency, and any differences will jump out.
I hope the CLAP plugin open standard[0] will lead to more VSTs being made available for Linux. My favourite synth, Diva[1], has already been ported over (its maker, u-he, co-developed CLAP.)
You can get all the nutrients you need, easily, from a vegan diet, with the exception of B12 (a cheap supplement will cover that).
Also, human ‘canines’ are pretty pathetic. They’ll do the job in getting meat off bones, sure, but are nothing compared with my dog’s teeth – he has proper canines. (He also doesn’t have to prepare and cook meat before tucking in. Humans are actually pretty lame meat eaters even in comparison to other omnivores like dogs, let alone carnivores like lions.)
Pigs are amazing animals: intelligent, sociable and empathetic. The way we treat them – confining pregnant sows and nursing mothers to weeks or months in gestation/farrowing crates, and gassing them underground in slaughterhouses – is truly appalling.
This is great. I’ve already been using `text-wrap: balance` on headlines. Before, I was concatenating certain words with ` ` to try to avoid bad wrapping at certain viewport widths. (Doing so is still a useful trick in edge cases.) `text-wrap: pretty` should fix similar ugliness in body text.
I wonder whether AI being the new and shiny thing will lead to a reduction in ‘innovation’ in front-end frameworks. Front-end dev seems to me to have been a solved problem for years now, yet there are still new ways of doing things for marginal gains. I personally just use vanilla JS (having never built anything Facebook-scale which would necessitate using a tool like React) and would be happy if instead of working on yet more front-end stuff, folk will otherwise build something AI-related, both because that is where the hype is but also because it’s genuinely exciting.
One of my favourite tips is to hold down Command while dragging important apps, files and folders to the Finder toolbar in order to ‘pin’ them. You can then drag files to ‘Open in…’ (eg, images to ImageOptim) or just launch apps.
If I’m on headphones (usually wired) I’ll choose the Dolby Atmos mix pretty much every time. As the article notes, it’s great for classical and jazz recordings. But I prefer the Atmos mixes for other genres and styles of music, too. The various instruments/parts seem to have more room to breathe in the mix, and I hear new things in familiar tracks.
I normally find that stuff I build for the web just works in Chrome and Firefox and it’s Safari that requires hacks and workarounds, even when I’m using standard APIs that are widely supported. I’d have to go out of my way to have something work in Chrome but not Firefox.
Interesting, as most jazz is not freeform and typically follows an agreed chord sequence. Certainly, jazz improvisation tends to feature lots of notes, often played at fast tempos, but ‘messing around’ it definitely isn’t. Jazz improv requires years of concerted practice and deep thinking. If you analyse a great jazz solo, it becomes clear that it isn’t random notes, or a ‘mess’. To me it’s astonishing that anyone can create something so intricately structured on the fly. Of course, you’re free not to like it.
