@ryanflorence This documentary is about a father who forgives the guy who is responsible for the death of his children due to DUI. The father still keeps in touch with the guy in prison, wants him to get free and calls him a friend. Very moving. m.youtube.com/watch?v=gzc9VA…

A few years I went through one of the more difficult things in my life and I don't like the way I responded to it I was hurt by people I considered friends over something that wasn't true My hurt turned to hate and it kind of overcame me It changed my personality to somebody I've never been and don't want to be. Negative, flippant, and untrusting. Everybody became suspicious I eventually came across some teaching in my church about forgiving others, even when they aren't sorry. It was hard to do but I managed to let go of the hate. It's hilarious how much lighter your life becomes when you just forgive and let go of things However, I still don't think my personality has completely recovered. I'm still pretty untrusting and everybody in tech is still suspicious except like five people. It's my fault for not forgiving and moving on. Anyway, don't be like me: forgive people quickly so you don't widen a wound so much that it leaves a scar

@bschne @visakanv Great minds think alike. visakanv.com/blog/luck/

@visakanv Love Niemann‘s stuff about his creative process in general

Christoph Niemann: "The only relevant artistic talent is the ability to deal with frustration."

@corbindreams yeah, the math behind neural networks is relatively old. I believe neural networks became popular after AlexNet won the ImageNet competition in 2012. So, once compute and large data sets were becoming more widely / cheaply available.

@tobiobeck yeah im totally oversimplifying, i just thought "hm i remember some intro of backprop in 1970 or 1980 idk, and we've made a lot of progress since then" but thanks! i wanna read up on science history stuff

made a diagram to organize some thoughts

@tomhaerter content delivery network is when you receive memes via the postal office. It's used because pigeon carriers have proven to be too slow.

what’s a cdn. and why use it. wrong answers only

@visakanv Oh lol, I thought these link to blog articles on your site. I was looking and pattern matching for a dedicated substack link I guess 🤷‍♂️

@tobiobeck I guess I thought it was obvious lol. I use the same username everywhere and 3 of the first 4 links on the first thing you see on my site all point to my substack

@visakanv I wanted to subscribe from another email account/device but couldn't even find the link on your website until I remembered this reply. Asking your own consulting question lol, why is your good stuff buried? x.com/visakanv/statu…

4 days, 4 posts, 9000+ words 100 day streak lets gooooo

@tomhaerter good question to ask yourself regularly

who do you want to be

@visakanv surprised you didn't QT this 😄 x.com/i/status/17623…

I was going through my subscriptions (people who give me money on Twitter + have access to a subscriber-only feed) and I found someone who’s both subscribed to me and also blocked me, lol. I’d have assumed blocking also cancels subscriptions but apparently maybe not… 😂

@DavidKPiano @EffectTS_ I fixed this for you

TypeScript devs will say stuff like "have you ever seen more beautiful code" and it literally looks like this

40K lines in a single file lol x.com/i/status/20297…

my first attempt at deploying on Heroku lol

who cares about commit messages in small teams and code bases. if levelsio can commit "x" and ship to prod like a maniac you can too

"tweet more bc ur an archaeologist uncovering what’s important to you and to others." leaving this tweet for my future self-to dig up that I currently care about tweeting more

@PSaezT I guess getting comfortable with hearing your own voice is part of the practice😁

@Mordil @lauriewired I can't handle hearing me once. Three times sounds like torture 🙈

no one’s gonna believe me but becoming a good speaker is really easy just record yourself for 10 minutes every day, first thing in the morning. don’t send it to anyone, just force yourself to watch it later. you’ll notice every possible flaw you can imagine.

@KompendiaProj Good to know :) Btw did you see my DM that I did sent some time ago?

this is why i've been so absent from posting lately fyi so dw, i'm doin very well! just let me cook...

Canva bought Serif – the company behind @Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher. Affinity V2 products are replaced by the new Affinity Studio, which encompasses all 3 in 1. Affinity Studio looks nice & is 100% free!

@joodalooped Mp3 players, smartphone, crypto coins, modern era VR headsets, web GL (if you wanna count a medium within the web as a medium)

question for the audience: what mediums are you older than?

@joodalooped Btw, I basically I got the sveltekit with react example on the first try asking an LLM (plus changing some config stuff). So, I'd guess, solid would work similarly well. Or copy the react mount helper file and ask the LLM to rewrite to solid code.

@joodalooped I'd think so. I am not familiar with Solid but I'd guess they have similar commands to create a root host element and mount / svelte :bind it to a DOM element as well as sth like an explicit createElement function to initiate a solid component without JSX.

It's actually super easy to integrate React components into a SvelteKit project. This can be handy when you want to use a React library that doesn't exist in the Svelte ecosystem.
