i really love the idea of glitch and codepen. but the cruft you have to sift through in the dev tools until you get to your actual content makes it really tricky to prefer it over just making a new local project.

@samhenrigold It can’t answer yes or no, because it doesn’t “think”

fall out boy was wicked fun at the hydro last night

Fall Out Boy on stage at the Hydro in Glasgow. Pete is illuminated on stage playing a guitar and singing into a mic. Flames shoot up from the stage, casting an orange glow. The audience is in the foreground, one person raising the horn hand sign.

stop what you’re doing and admire this speech animation

Here’s sort of how that waveform animation works:
- A Core Animation package [1] creates a particle emitter and overlays a teal/white glow on top of it
- A shader warps the waveform view (not shown) based on time — not volume/amplitude
- Weird shit ensues with how the package is built, how the system renders CA packages, and the demo app allowing the springboard wallpaper to bleed through in the app switcher

step 1. put on the band camino’s rehearsal takes playlist.
step 2. sit back, enjoy the ride.

there is no step 3.

i just want an episode of Grand Design that pulls out all the stops:
- Couple in a strained marriage with no previous building experience living in a cramped caravan on-site
- They both have clashing aesthetics
- Shoestring budget
- Some absurd project like turning a crumbling 18th-century barn into a modern, eco-friendly family home
- The barn is also a listed building and any changes need to be approved by the town
- Construction keeps getting rain delayed
- Divorce by end of episode

Matter/Home Key smart locks: are any of them good yet or should i just get a regular lock?

(i’m not counting “Matter support promised” because I have been burned too many times for their promises to mean anything)

Keir

@samhenrigold smart locks are one area i am absolutely avoiding primarily because smart stuff never works flawlessly all of the time and also just the potential risks security wise 😬

Simon

@samhenrigold I enjoy the convenience and look of the Level locks that I have, but if your front door has sporadic internet/homepod coverage then you can lose features at random times. it has been consistent enough for me to leave the house without my physical key many times, and I am honestly not concerned about their security more than a regular lock because they’re easily pickable anyway. also they’re way too expensive

Alex Hadfield :ivory_logo:

@samhenrigold The Schlege one (the first lock to support Home Key) works really well. I’ve been using it for over a year now.

Hot take but I think Black Rock should own more shit. I think that would be silly goofy fun

@samhenrigold @MikeBeas as Steve Jobs said, why join the navy when you can be a pirate

Markus Buchner

@samhenrigold At SSL, a high end audio manufacturer, they used to have pirate day every friday (although official talk-like-a-pirate-day is of course only on september 19th)

shout out to apple for live streaming an event at midnight UK time while I'm over here. very cool, thank you.

steve jobs did not die for this, this is bs

Григорий Клюшников

Apple events not being on evenings is weird to me tbh. As well as Tim Cook saying "good morning" at 21.

Григорий Клюшников

But I'm looking forward to that mini-LED 120 Hz 5K monitor that I would not be able to buy anyway

Ed

@samhenrigold which event? apple events are usually 5/6pm uk

begging you to implement some kind of salience-based cropping

An article in the Artifact app about Ivanka Trump. The photo is just her neck and shoulders, head completely cropped out.

ngl the absolute best part of this week’s Last Week Tonight were the huge groans from the audience when presented with some horrifying fact

who in their right mind looks at one of those in-flight seat back monitors and thinks “yeah this is an acceptable vehicle to watch a feature film on”

GK

@samhenrigold nobody, but still better than doing nothing for 10 hours

Daniel 🏳️‍🌈 Jilg :sondrine:

@samhenrigold pffft. Outboard camera on the seat display, movie on the iPad. That's how custom demands it.

ravi

@samhenrigold I mean, they’re fucking awful… but I can remember the days before each seat had a screen and you would have to look up at the shared monitors and hope you had a decent view of the tiny screen (or could even see over your seat!)
