I worked in an office last year. We had these “Wacky Shirt Wednesdays.” On the first Wednesday I was able to participate, I decided to wear the shirt my mom was wearing when I was born. Now there’s some leftover placenta and uterine lining, so it isn’t the cleanest shirt. BUT it’s the thought that counts. That what momma says.

This f’n Karen decides to come over to my desk and tell me it’s “inappropriate” and “gross” and “ur mom’s placenta will get in my salmon salad”.

Win for me: keep wearing the shirt Win for Karen: stop having me wear the shirt Win Win Win: frame the shirt on my office wall so there’s never a chance of getting placenta in Karen’s salad.

Win Win Win!!

I had to switch to low force choc couple years ago over tendon pain. Ended up on totem for day to day & bad wings for travel. 20g silent nocturnal switches. Silencing mechanism also gives bottom out a rubber feel, worth it just for that

20g? How do you use it? I'm light typist, I'm not hammering on keys at all and even 32g is too nervous for me, I can't rest my fingers on keyboard without typing a novel. Can't imagine 20g keys.

You get used to it quickly. Low force useful for combos

Totem and bad wings are gorgeous, but I'm here to thock.

I'm actually a Topre purist.

I could probably $searchengine this, but not being into keyboards: none of that made any sense to me :D

It's a weird hybrid keyswitch that isn't widely used because it's expensive. It has a distinctive sound and a fantastic feel.

The circle one is fishing for sonething clever. 90s without floats means no trig

HarHarVeryFunny · 2026-05-31T23:28:52 1780270132

So use sin/cos lookup tables?

As the author notes, it would certainly be a massive ramping up in difficulty if they were expecting you to reinvent the midpoint algorithm on the spot.

tbf Rust also can spit out pretty big binaries for small programs

afavour · 2026-05-30T04:17:12 1780114632

Agreed. You can optimize things a fair amount with the Rust compiler, at least.

Curious where on spectrum compiling to wasm falls between art project & optimization potential. Should be able to make some nice interfaces between TS-wasm & TS-web

Useful, but complements existing tooling & falls short on the hard part

I work on Ship of Harkinian. We're sering more vibed libultraship ports. Yet to see a real success

I've often done same thing with encoding msgpack maps while streaming in key/value pairs

i2talics · 2026-05-29T20:17:52 1780085872

Neat! It's a useful technique whenever you don't know or want to defer knowing the size of an integer until a later time, but need to allocate space for it up front.

I'm wary of introducing these forced-canonical encodings by someone hyper focused on "efficiency" and "security" without reconsidering additional use cases.

but I can't run Arch on the neo. literally unplayable

I have a fw13, best Linux laptop I've ever had, & I've bought System76 in the past
