This is my therapy room. It works wonders.

One of my neighbours got some very mixed messaging on their door.

An apartment door with 2 stickers on it. One says “always stay humble and kind”, the other says “stay out stay alive “

Another picture, even more terrifying to me. I have no idea what this is about, was not informed, and now can't access anything, as a solo freelance dev with work to deliver. I am absolutely losing my mind here.

Here's some of my saved palettes, generated from clicking the 'One shot' button, that picks the base color, generates the variations, applies those variations to the palette slots and then styles the app UI itself with that palette.

Showing some of the results from the generated color palettes being applid to the UI of the app, grid of 4 examples.

I did a thing. It was quite fun. It's a CSS palette generator , where you can apply the generated palette to the app itself and see how it would looks in a real app. Pick base color and the app creates related colors. Adjust the colors. Export CSS. Or hit that one shot button, that the most fun.

Screnshot of the color palette generator app UI.

Trying out oxlint and oxfmt. Really not having a good time with the linter and the formatter agreeing on how to sort imports. The linter gives a warning after the formatter sorts it. Also, it looks like its sorting based on the path instead of the name of the import?? Thats weird. @voidzero.dev

Screenshot from vscode with imports sorted by oxfmt. There is a FrequencyAnalyser import sorted between TransitionManager and WaveformController. The linter flags this. If we look at the import paths, it is sorted, but who wants to sort by path?

Today I'm thankful and celebrating the 25th April 1974 Portuguese revolution. Where the military positioned their soldiers and tanks in front of government buildings, and without shots fired, toppled a dictatorship. Hopefully that happens again somewhere else that needs it.

People in the streets celebrating the revolution.

It's not a near miss. It's a near hit. A hit is a near miss. RIP George Carlin.

I have a similar use-case in prod, simpler than yours because the sub-components don't take props from the parent. But using a small piece of state makes this much simpler TS wise, and each sub-component could just take their own props without all the type rigmaroles? Needs 'use client' though.

Code for a parent to conditionally display sub-components in NextJS.

Anyone see the problem with this Ghostty config? I can't get the padding to be applied to the terminal window. Text runs right up to the borders, and yes I've done Reload Configuration, closed and opened Ghostty etc.

Screenshot of Ghostty terminal showing the config, and that there is no padding being applied as per the config.

Anybody else seen this? Just rebooted my laptop and after the OS insists that Docker is malware. It doesn't go away if i cancel, had to really move it to trash. At the time my internet had gone down too, not sure if related...

I’m very eclectic though. From classic rock to electronica to grunge to drum and bass.

Now that's a good deal, just pulled the trigger on it. Anyone interested in music production / soft synths around here? This bundle is insane quality and price right now. The normal discount is 50% off but if you already have some stuff from Arturia and you login, might be 75% like me!
