Aidan Fraser 👋

When more than three (3) strangers like one of my tweets, I tell my wife I’m “blowing up on Twitter”.

@VillageKit That looks really great. With a pressed "gusset" feature, that bent brace could end up being strong enough to be used alone a lot of the time. Although I love the look of the "planar" bracket. Seems very modular and systematic.

@aaaidan Sorry for being confusing. Yep the plan is to use the standard furniture bolts to hold them in place. Here's a photo from yesterday.

New angle brackets have been sent off for prototyping. Excited to test them out! #madewithgridkit #gridbeam #diy #modular #madeinnz

@VillageKit wow, I see it now, but that went way over my head. Is the intention to use bolts to hold these in place? I guess you have some idea if they're already being cut? 😅

@aaaidan Hi @aaaidan, these are Blender renders, so a little bit of magic to help us imagine what's possible! We're having them cut now, and are looking into powder-coating options. Hopefully in the future the real-life versions will look similarly wonderful. 🙏

@NeuroBill Even Jesus will not forgive us for this.

A new Diogenes just dropped. Behold! A square.

@FourFoxInt @Spookysoft_Hi Man, ET … I lost hours to that game. It got a bad rap so there might be some rose tinted glasses going on.

@Spookysoft_Hi I hear the ET game is pretty good?

@bunjavascript 🥡

what emoji should we use for post-install scripts in bun install's spinner? 🏗️❓

@Nition gives solid ARRR!🏴‍☠️ vibes

@hankfultron Looks absolutely amazing

Cool to see people enjoying our playtest ... I think youtube.com/watch?v=Y-_stE…

@etirabys When you jump, you can look down and think of the ground as "in front" of you. From this perspective, when you jump, you're just kicking yourself _away from_ (not above) The Earth. When you "fall" it's just mutual gravity pulling you and the Earth back together.

earth gravity seems "unusually strong" to me. when I'm in bed I feel glued to the planet. and it feels surprising that we can't jump five or six feet into the air how do you perceive earth gravity? (slight surprise is still surprise, only click opt 2 if you have zero surprise)

@stef_animal You have to be truly decrepit to fully appreciate this.

@prerat Baby may be a “gestalt language processor”, learning full phrases first before breaking them into words later.

baby has attributed reverse causality to "bye bye" she knows that when someone/something goes away, you say "bye bye" to it so naturally when she wants someone/something gone, now she says "bye bye _____" over & over

@skdh 😶

I've been working on a video about net zero -- what is it, how will we get there, how far are we along the way, etc. Just finished recording. Research has been extremely depressing. In an nutshell, every serious source (incl the IPCC) agrees that there's no way we'll reach net zero without substantial and fast investment into extensive carbon removal. We're talking about an increase by at least a factor 100 (!) by 2050. Yet this carbon removal doesn't even exist in plans. That's right, even if you add up all the plans that have been put forward -- which I'd say are a pie in the sky already -- it wouldn't work. The cherry on the rotten tart of net zero are environmental groups (infamously, Greenpeace) who are opposed to carbon capture and storage (CCS) at fossil fuel plants, and since most people can't tell the difference between CCS and carbon removal, it's getting in the way of net zero. Like with nuclear power, it's increasingly the so-called "environmentalists" who are in the way of protecting the environment. I'm not a fan of offshore drilling either, but complaining about CCS is broken logic. I'll have more details about this in the upcoming video (will be out in in a few weeks) but the more I think about it, the more I feel like the origin of this problem is presumably well-meaning activists (let's not name names) whose we-can-do-it attitude has made people think reaching net zero is much easier than it really is. These are all difficult topics with many nuances, but if I was in charge of running the world I'd quit. Sorry, I meant to say if I was in charge of running the world, my course of action would be: (a) Nuclear power everywhere it's geographically safe enough. I know that no one really likes nuclear power, but it's the least bad option to decarbonize energy intensive industry quickly. (b) Bio energy with carbon capture and storage everywhere there's large amounts of quickly re-growing biomass available, it would make sense for rich countries to finance such facilities elsewhere (c) Expand and modernize the electric grid asap because without that nothing else will work -- according to a recent IEA report there's 3000 GW (!) of renewable energy power plants waiting to be hooked up onto electric grids that can't cope (d) electric vehicles (the world is actually doing quite well with that one, if it wasn't for point (c)) (e) synthetic fuels produced with renewable energy -- it's energetically hugely inefficient but realistically the only way to decarbonize aviation quickly, you may want to do this in regions with reliable sunshine (Australia, Africa) The reason I didn't say anything about wind and solar is not that those are unimportant but that those are faict going fine. My twitter feed has been greatly enriched by @EliotJacobson who is as doom as doom gets which I think is the appropriate reaction in the current situation.

@robin7331 Congrats 😊

That feeling when a known space tech company orders a Pixel Pump, received it and orders a second one a few days later 🤩🥳

@RoseSilicon @XorDev I was shocked to learn I could paste all of threejs’s tonemapping function into a compatible cpp environment (eg with vec and matrix implemented).

I want a programming language that unifies the GPU and the CPU

@gerwinvanroyen This looks great man, really nice work. (Is window.Date making you say this? Blink twice for yes)

Built a little date picker web-component the last few evenings. Good fun. I'm only using the native js date object which isn't that bad imo. The toggle is a slot so the implementing view can decide what that looks like.

@djchampnz @FrankleyMan Can confirm, I got a concussion at something like 10 kmh. It feels stupid to wear a helmet at those speeds, until you injure your brain. Then it feels stupid not to wear one.

These officers may have had the best of intentions, when they pulled me and my GD over for cycling in the bike lane, without helmets, but it may not work out that way. Following our exchange, the first thing my GD said was, "I'm not going on my bike again now."

@GitFiend 👀

Dammit, I think I just (re?) invented a better JS UI framework. Something that can render lots of components at 120fps and doesn’t use any clever state update/effect abstractions.

@sophiebits @buildsghost This one is so nice. 🥹

@buildsghost :is(.a .test):is(.b test) {}?

CSS/Sass Q: You have possible parents .a and .b and want to match .test when both parents are present But the ancestry order doesn't matter. .a could be inside .b, .b could be inside .a, .a and .b could be the same element Is there a way to make this work as separate mixins?
