you can animate `height: auto` in css

theme inversion on scroll with CSS position: sticky and mix-blend-mode: difference trick here is stacking layers and chaining the blend mode to align the colors sticky element ➡️ header::before ➡️ header sticky element blocks the content blend ✨

The term “Hacker” originated from a bunch of MIT students obsessed with model trains. In the late 1950s, the Tech Model Railroad Club was split into two primary factions: - Knife and Paintbrush - Signals and Power (S&P) S&P played fast and loose; disliking authority.

Robots moving railcars! 🚃 Did you know that KUKA is also in the autonomous mobile robots business? Heavy mobile robots business. Yes, you heard that right. Robots that carry up to 56 tons! 🏋🏼 The railcar production process is highly complex, particularly when moving massive cars sideways within a plant. This challenge has been addressed at the Siemens facility in Germany using the OmniMove system from KUKA. The system allows for precise positioning, enabling the units to lift, move, and lower railcars with remarkable accuracy. With Mecanum wheels, the OmniMove units can move seamlessly in any direction. Together, these units are capable of lifting to 56 tons. What a great use case for mobile robots! 😮‍💨

some fun experiments stretching space

There are projects after which everything changes. IOCO is one of those cases in my career: 3D, animation, interactive elements, original illustrations - many experimental things became a standard in my work after this project.

The cool thing about shaders is I have no idea why anything works.

WIP Gallery Concept One of the challenges I dealt with on the Configurator team was the semi-cohesive-ness of vehicle galleries. Distinct groups have to be intuitive and easily available, yet shouldn't interfere with the flow. Still a long ways to go :)

I think about this twice a day. Every morning when I sit down to read & again when I begin to work, I say to myself, “Accept the initial agitation.” When you try to focus, Andrew Huberman explains, “the brain circuits that turn on first are of the stress system.” Meaning: “The agitation and stress that you feel at the beginning of something—when you’re trying to lean into it and you can’t focus: you feel agitated and your mind’s jumping all over the place—that is just a gate. You have to pass through that gate to get to the focus component.” There’s a common misconception, @hubermanlab continues: “the misunderstanding around how these brain circuits work has led to this idea...a kind of obsession with the idea that we have to feel good in order to be productive.” “And nothing could be further from the truth.” The truth is it’s the reverse: we have to be productive—we have to start working, we have to lean in and get going, accepting the initial agitation—in order to feel good. So along with “accept the initial agitation,” sometimes—when I don’t feel especially good, motivated, interested, or energized—I say to myself, “Forget how you feel right now.” “It will feel good,” Huberman says, “but there’s a whole staircase in which it feels kind of lousy...The early stages of hard work and focus are always going to feels like agitation, stress, and confusion.” “Remember: there’s a gate of entry. You have to wade through some sewage before you can swim in clear water. That’s the way I always think about it.” - - - “Mood follows action.” — @richroll The clip below is from Andrew’s 2020 interview on Rich’s podcast (youtu.be/SwQhKFMxmDY)

This. Honestly give me a vehicle with no infotainment system, the barest minimum computing to keep me safe, and a dock so I can add a cheap iPad on the dashboard. I think there’s a real market to a hyper-minimal vehicle if it was priced right.

I would pay good money for a new car with as little technology in it as possible. No GPS. No cameras. No wifi data links. No automated systems. Can’t be tracked, can’t be monitored.

@natemcgrady Depends on the company, at Tesla probably a quarter of the engineers I met were over 40. World-class devs who were just really passionate about the mission & worked circles around the 20-something’s.

can someone actually tell me why there are no software engineers over 40?

The Russian Brest 300 fast reactor, cooled by molten lead, is the first of its kind and will come online in two years. A fast reactor increases the energy yield of natural Uranium up to 60 times over a normal light water reactor, and can burn up nuclear waste into the bargain…
