My name is Srđan Prodanović. I'm a hacker, designer & socialite with 17+ years of experience and good skill acquisition, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Failed at trying an e-commerce SaaS (Fatsell), co-founder of a design studio (Ljudje d.o.o.), contributed to a number of local creative industry initiatives, did engineering and product at Joan (https://getjoan.com) and Radical Motion (https://radicalmotion.com). Exhibited art at ARS Electronica and Cukrarna. Whatever.

Why does Vercel provide Next.js? Aside from talent & tightly coupling Astro to their services, their North Star might be similar to Weekly Number of New Domains Hosted On Cloudflare. Sponsoring a framework that helps ship performant websites feeds into that metric.

I have no inside knowledge, though.

How come pen & paper are omitted from both article and discussion?

Feels odd that two feature-equivalent plans are segregated with neighboring duplicates into monthly and yearly branches. I would consider monthly Enterprise & yearly Enterprise the same plan, with modified cost & billing frequency.

Probably a bad idea to turn to ChatGPT for psychotherapy

There's very little in the article about "how" sound reshapes "networks" in the brain. It's pretty reasonable to expect that hearing different sounds can cause different neurons to fire, though (considering you can upload information into somebody's brain by talking to them).

Hard to read. The writing style detracts from the message. I guess the takeaway of the article is that "Lean Startup" is the way to run a company?

I remember some "How it's made" videos where conveyor belts and automation were put to very good use in baking cookies, and such. I take it that this implementation is more artisanal?

edit: The gummies are special because they can potentially glow and deform in a unique way. Interactivity is possibly overstated in this case.

I just want to kick back and code like it's 199NaN

My questions are more along the lines of:

  - Does it liberate people from meaningless employment?
  - Does it give a sufficient platform to people to bootstrap their own trade?
  - Does it give people the runway for meaningful creation / artistic self-actualization?

> There was a point in my road trip when I was on top of a mountain, and it said I would reach the next charger 100km away with 20km of range remaining, but I was only at 90km at the time. I made it with 17km of range remaining.

This is how regenerative braking works

Wonder what the returns would look like if they set aside 5% of that sum to fund things like Euro competitors to Shopify & Stripe.

Here's one I use for cryptographic purposes:

  let invocations = 0;

  export function rand3000() {
    invocations += 1;

    const timestamp = new Date().getTime() + invocations * 1000;
    const masked = (timestamp ^ (timestamp >> 8)) & 0xFF;
    const result = masked / 255;

    return result;
  }
