@mavnn @zarfeblong @edwinb Happened to me just a couple weeks ago 😅 It happens to me often. And yes, AuDHD present :)
@[email protected] Does it also persist for extended periods (months/years), or does it reset for you once you have a 'distinction' in mind? The thing which made me curious about whether it's ND related is how 'sticky' it is for me even in the face of clear differences between the parties.
Soooo... Random #adhd related question time. I sometimes get pairs of people 'entangled' where I frequently get them confused, often for no clear reason. For one example, @[email protected] and @[email protected] - both fine gentlemen with interesting things to say, but different enough interesting things that reading a post by one as if by the other is often a bit surreal.
Do you, fair reader, suffer from the same thing, and do you also have #adhd? I'm being curious whether this is a human thing or a ND thing.
shkspr.mobi/blog/?p=67726 This is such a grounded and well written piece on not getting scared of missing out from @[email protected] . Unless you're an investor, there's not a massive benefit in being a 'first mover' and even if you are, it's a risky strategy. Keep an eye on new stuff, but don't get sucked into the fear narrative.
One of the most frustrating things when learning text based coding for the first time is just knowing whether you have typed what the computer expects. Should that be a { or a [? Do I need a new line here, or must I put this on the same line?
To help out, we've updated the syntax highlighting at VisualInk to really push up the brightness of important syntax structures, without making the whole visual feel too overwhelming.
Is it the most absolutely beautiful, tasteful, and elegant syntax highlighting theme in the world? Possibly not.
But does it make it really, really, obvious whether or not you remembered to close that set of curly brackets, and which lines of the conditional block are the conditions and which are the content? We think so. Hopefully you agree!

@mavnn No worries. Is it a new thing? I don't remember having to watch my own repos manually before. My most recent repos are unwatched (~last 7 months) but the previous ones are watched.
@[email protected] I'm honestly not sure, and I'm working towards moving all my code to a #forgejo instance anyway so I'm not going to investigate too hard. That said, I probably need to set up github authentication on code.mavnn.eu/ before I move too much out else it's a pain for people to do things like submit but reports.
New version of #ink syntax highlighting for the CodeMirror editor is out, with fixes for the install instructions and highlighting when using a custom theme.
Grab it while its hot!
Special thanks to @[email protected] who when he tried to use the library and found the types missing and an error in the README left a report so it could be fixed.

Today I was reminded that by default github doesn't make you a watcher of your own repositories. Sorry @[email protected] - I didn't ignore the issues you created on github.com/mavnn/codemirror-... for 3 weeks on purpose.
@Legit_Spaghetti it gives me hope that basically everyone hates dlss5 (except the nvidia ceo and some boot lickers at digital foundry)
@[email protected] @[email protected] Yeah, the fact that even people like... fighting game content creators... are getting fed up and publicly tearing apart some of this stuff is actually encouraging.
@[email protected] Meta classes next with built in DLSS - why allow yourself to see anything ugly in real life? Remember; variety and other people's personal expression are just a confusing source of discomfort!
@glyph the part about “well she can’t be European, because her website doesn’t have an impressum” really stood out to me, bro you just confused Germany for Europe
@[email protected] @[email protected] European from one country living in an other European country and who has professional ties to at least two other European countries. I've... never heard of an impressum, so in this particular dude's case I'm just going to assume it must be what happens when you sit on a photocopier and take a copy.

@[email protected] This is a beautiful piece!
On a slightly unrelated note, I've been meaning to comment for a while that (having been somewhat involved with publishing over the years) it is so refreshing to hear you talking about your book covers as someone who is obviously inspired by the content of the book so I'll take the opportunity to say that now as well.
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you're not like everybody else, and the expert advice may not fit you. This brought to you by a reminder I had of talking to one of my son's teachers.
"Don't worry, we've taught plenty of children like your son before!"
When we told the educational psychologist they actually laughed out loud, because the piece of advice that triggered the comment would only be helpful for around 1 in every 5,000 children and would have been actively detrimental to an 'average' pupil his age. 1/2
I'm with you here Mavnn
Many years ago I read a Twitter thread written by a meth user. He was talking about the good experiences he has had while high and how frustrated he was that most people only discuss the bad parts of meth.
I absolutely believe him that he enjoys it, and has profound conversations and great sex with his girlfriend while high, and so on.
But I am absolutely going to dismiss his experiences when deciding whether I should use meth
@[email protected] Thank you! Also, that's a very classy avatar
DJ here has been doing some of the worst transitions I've heard in a set, to the point that it has become fully comical. Just straight mixing 90bpm disco into 120bpm house, zero beat or key matching, in some cases three false starts on a track or leaving the second deck fader on 1/4 volume while picking tunes and scrolling through.
@[email protected] When I was sixteen my drum teacher pulled me in at the last moment for a concert because an orchestra member was ill. I had one job: whack a huge bass drum about six times.
One of those times I whacked it a full beat late, in a moment of complete silence from the rest of the orchestra.
My drum teacher afterwards said "don't worry, the audience will have assumed it was on purpose. Apart from the musicians in the audience - they'll be having a good laugh."
I wonder if you're hitting a similar situation or whether they're just, er, not very good...

Me: The one you just told me was crawled?
Google: Maybe you need to wait a bit?
Me: ...so, telling you my website has moved means you notice more slowly than if I don't tell you?
Google: Pretty much! Thanks for telling us!
Me: You do realise that even Bing have started indexing the new domain, and I didn't even tell them?
Google: We have a button here that does nothing you can click, and we'll tell you your page is in a priority queue!
Me: Okay, so we're really doubling down on the epitaph "Woke up and chose to be worse than Bing". Good to know.
