You'd think they'd do all the testing elsewhere and use a much shorter window of time to implement Azure after testing. I don't think this fully explains over 6 years of poor uptime.

I can't believe how fast the chip is. It is comparable to my top of the line gaming laptop from 6 years ago.

Shorts seem good to me, but only when watched at 3x

Many, if not most, jobs from a couple hundred years ago are fully automated now. You'd think that would mean we could stop charging for living, but due to the nature of capitalism and continued physical development we will continue to pay for things. This is the cost of being at the bleeding edge.

This is cool, but I usually expect a cheat sheet to be a 1 or 2 page pdf.

Minecraft $26.95. Thousands of hours of gameplay. Ear Fun Free Pro 3 $50 wireless earbuds. Great sound, quick pairing, good noise cancelling, in-app equalizer, great price. Probably buy direct from them, bought from Woot! Amazon once and didn't get a very good model. Web Video Caster $5. I stream tons of content and this lets me connect to just about anything. You can use it for free with ads. Cloudflare domain ~$10/year. Cheapest domain prices and cloudflare works great for everything for me. Harmonica $5. I just keep it in my bag and use it whenever I'm outside alone, keeps me off the phone. Fidget spinner $1. The lighter the better imo. Also my mouse, battery pack, and I love those lazy cell phone holders ~$10 you can put around your neck.

You can buy UVC LEDs (255nm) for fairly cheap now. $20 or less

okay, that did not work as well as I hoped. TODO: full engine re-write

Merry Christmas to you too! I'll be adding a plugin extension to Large World Coordinates in Unreal Engine inspired by Constructive Reals. It should let me use arbitrary precision, meaning I can make objects excessively small or large at distances excessively large or small in the engine.

I am currently working on a desktop application for 3D spreadsheets.

The first version of the code looks like this, https://youtube.com/watch?v=rJuRTZOE99g

The new version is much more feature rich, catering towards the user. Unreal use in Python is now native and users can launch a dedicated server.

The development process can be slow, lots of waiting on compiling and cooking. The Python part of this project is great. Code is very simple and readable and I'm building out a renderer for the geometric algebra package I'm using, Kingdon. This lets users quickly visualize 3D elements, lines, points, planes, and shapes. Working on non-web stuff is great. I love building out UI and text in 3D, it feels like the final form of UI and is a lot more expressive than web UI. Controlling objects in 3D let's you do a lot more. Everything feels right.
