Is it just me?? If you're super careful about captcha images, you know the kind where you have to click all the boxes with traffic lights, etc., you actually delay proving you are a human? I feel like the more lightly I take the task the smoother everything goes... If that is the case, what does it say about us humans? wow, maybe it says humans don't take things seriously... or more likely humans just don't like clicking dumb images cause we know we are already not robots.
This is a demo of some sliders I made with Godot a few months back. The top one is the default slider that comes with Godot and the next two are modded default sliders. The remaining five are custom sliders built using buttons and paths. I learned a lot from this exercise and it left me p excited about Godot. I will continue to learn it more and it will be an important tool for me, no doubt. I used Kenney assets. I’m a big fan.
in an earthquake i feel like im sitting in a toy building or like one of those miniature models. such a demonstration of supreme power over a little dumbass like me trying to do everyday things like fix dead links on my website and watch a stream of some play thru while i let the laundry machine do its thing.
I’m looking for a software engineer to join my team at the Internet Archive. We work mostly Pacific hours but are fully and forever remote (we do have a lovely SF HQ if you're in the neighborhood). Our department uses Python, Django, Temporal.io, Postgres, and some in-house database technologies to build web archiving and other digital preservation services for over 1000 partner cultural heritage and memory institutions.

Had no idea hurricanes/typhoons only exist in certain areas. I mean obviously I don’t think they’d exist in, say, a desert but I thought in places that get rain and storms. 🤷🏻♀️ Apparently they need warm water to exist so this makes sense looking at the map, but what’s up with the absence around the equator? https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/hurricanes/en/ also found this map of hurricane typhoon paths from 1985-2005 on Wikipedia.

I think about the saying, “if you know you know,” only cause, there’s no pressure to know about it if you don’t give a shit about it. But there is still like some achknlowedgement to the significance of something — but only in the context of it being of interest. I dunno, I kind of like it I guess… UNLESS, I’m totally misunderstanding the expression and it means you’re a loser if you don’t even get the context of this v important thing. Anyone care to clarify? 🤷🏻♀️

Went to a supermarket yesterday and there were workers stocking produce, and with them a waist high cylindrical robot moving around cleaning the floor. It was the first time I saw a robot working during the day w a team of humans. But this is actually super important cause there is a labor shortage here due to the declining/aging population. There’s another largish supermarket closer to the train station that doesn’t have human cashiers later in the evening 8pmish and is all self checkout. 🤖
