Mixing black and brown, going for cozy fancy.

SPOUSE: Try to look more natural!
ME: How about this?
SPOUSE: That's even worse!

An example "singing voice synthesis" clip from BiSinger. Why would you sing this? And why does it sound like GLaDOS?

at 13yo, working my way through an ancient applied math book, writing BASIC programs. my uncle hears me talk about interpolation, pays me to write a program to help him with making fly fishing rods. I CAN GET PAID TO WRITE MATH PROGRAMS??? everything after that is just details
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

realizing way too late in life that i actually like poetry. just not reading poetry on a page. add in some backing tracks and somehow the poetry injects itself into my feels.

all that to say you should listen to this track:

it brings joy into my heart to introduce young players to local multiplayer games from the 1990s like Sonic 2. based on whoops and hollers, 9 year olds judge it more fun than sharing a modern tablet full of the latest games

Spouse gone on work trip:

Day 1: "I'll get so many home improvement projects done!"

Day 2: "I'll clean the house and get on top of chores"

Day 3: "I'll feed the kid and we'll at least survive"

Day 4: "Nothing wrong with candy..."

this is a fun way to do IPC between containerized processes with no setup required. it is a bit slow, 1 bit of info per function call.

NO LONGER! i figured out how to make it faster.
🧵
Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.

No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.

reading up on singapore since i know a few people from there (hi @kirancodes.me) and don't know anything about it.

one surprising thing to me: all 3 people i know from there have brown skin and i think are Indian ethnicity based on names. stats show only 9% of singapore is Indian.

I randomly came across this picture of Adrienne Rich, poet, from 1966. Now I want lace trimmed shirts with a ribbon mechanism to swap out different lace trims. We have the technology!
