@MLE_online stage stake stale stare state stave is my nemesis.

@dtl Public libraries might have a SAMS Photofact on it if it was popular enough.

@firefly @me_valentijn I'm pretty sure that formula isn't right - 150 / 12 * 50 is not 200. Someone wrote a script to do the conversion here: https://observablehq.com/@mbostock/pm25-to-aqi

@botolo86 You might have graduated from the "print things someone else designed" phase. Next is "learn how to design things yourself." It's a lot harder, but the results are more rewarding.

@arth Check out low power settings on different handhelds. The Yaesu FT-5D, for instance, goes down to 100 mW on low1. And when you want a 5 W HT, it goes back up so you don't have to adapt to a second radio.

Aaand this is why i hate the confabulation of address bar and search bar in modern browser UIs.

Firefox mobile thinking my search for 802.3ad is a domain name

after 25+ years of class-based OOP i'm learning to think in terms of prototype-based OOP. it's a subtle change, and wow does it ever loosen up my thought processes

instead of thinking top-down (and bottom up) about my game architecture and worrying about rational hierarchies, i'm learning how to think in terms of pure functionality and cloning and then extending objects.

it's a relief learning something new. i'm no longer forcing lua to be not-lua.

all of this is thanks to the smalltalk-80 reference book i picked up a few months ago, along with a great article on the history of smalltalk by alan kay

Signal have rolled out an update to all users that stops Microsoft Recall from capturing Signal conversations.

I’ve tested this and it works. Brilliant work by the @signalapp team. 💪

They call on Microsoft to build better, as there was no standardised way as an app developer to do this. Because Signal is open source, now app developers have a template to protect their users from Windows.

@alderwick Since it's a contraction, should I be writing "Main S't"?
