@nikitonsky I'm now curious how to make this layout 🤔

@nikitonsky that's "mix your own" CSS

@NamelessCynic haha clever

And push a pedal to the metal!

@NamelessCynic I feel like I have a different meaning for snark. This is fun.

@nikitonsky That looks idyllic.

@nikitonsky LOL. Steve has a very cute small Power Mac (G4) on his desk.

@nikitonsky Steve. Tim's office looks like Patrick Bateman designed it.

@nikitonsky My office is very much like Steve’s there. But there’s only one of him.

@nikitonsky I'm kind of surprised CSS doesn't let you specify the interpolation function.

How did you determine the steps? Is it a linear approximation of a Gaussian or something?

@nikitonsky Computer graphics are layers of abstractions 🙃 Everything simple thing is complex. The lack of simplicity here is arguably just that this tool is missing an abstraction for eased gradients

@nikitonsky pretty rad to make those monthly public updates! Cool idea!

@nikitonsky Loved the standup :)

@nikitonsky one of the best reasons to watch Father Brown and Sister Boniface Mysteries on the Peacock channel is that they are not afraid of shooting in broad daylight and having bright colors that are not color graded into grey muddy dishwater. a revolutionary act in 2024

@nikitonsky I've done a ton of those - the likely reason is "guiding the viewer's attention". So it is possible that for Story™ or Director Vision™ it was important that the lights are more apparent than the rest of the scene, even if the scene is great.

@nikitonsky The left layout looks like a remnant of old forum software... The only thing missing is the long detailed signatures 😅

@nikitonsky So much better. I use @MonaApp because it’s the only client I’m aware of with an option to display toots full width.

@nikitonsky Or this?

@nikitonsky marketing managers

@nikitonsky Linus Torvalds says he names all of the stuff he writes after himself.

@nikitonsky I just hope that one day I am as good as Linus at writing comments and commit messages.

@nikitonsky@mastodon.online jeez there's so much spam in there

Looks like day wasn’t over yet

@nikitonsky that's a weird topic indeed. I heard some opinions, that managers struggle with defining "additional" tasks, so have no way of enforcing them. That gives me a feeling, that it could be a sign that those managers are "quiet quitters" too 🤔

@nikitonsky They seem to be using a weird definition of quiet quitting. 🤔

@nikitonsky "Git's interface looks like it was designed by a bunch of Linux kernel hackers."

@nikitonsky this is so good

@nikitonsky the BSOD in Windows 10 is useless to everyone. There are bo good reasons to remove information there!
The user is frustrated no matter if he knows a lot about computers or not. This fact is not changed by making the error screen more "aesthetic".
And to make matters worse, people who actually know stuff about computers have essentially no lead what caused the problem and therefore need more time to find and fix the problem...

@nikitonsky
That's odd indeed, but the least problematic thing about the German keyboard layout. More so are the locations of "special characters", ones that a software developer you use on very non special circumstances: `|/\[] {} to name a few.

@nikitonsky It’s a holdover from typewriters.
