Good thing has everything safely backed up for use in their AI models, in case you delete a bit too much.

Last night's brain fart:

Have a @getkirby installation under the domain name kürb.is.

(No, I don't know what to do with that one either)

Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative to DeployHQ? i.e. a service that can take my GitHub repo and automatically deploy it to my server?

I’m sure there are command line / dev-centric tools for this, but please bear in mind that I am a caveman and need a GUI. 🫠

@jonhicks @elliotjaystocks I used DeployHQ too until a few years ago. Now everything runs with GitHub Actions. But yeah, that’s … not exactly a nice GUI. But then again: there are libraries that make the setup somewhat easier?

Finally a way to easily see who's mostly producing hot air in the office.

Don't set fantasy weight values in your @font-face definitions. It will fuck up the fallback algorithms should your font lack some symbols.

My Mastodon bubble absolutely hates 's ad for the Pro. And I absolutely agree – it's in very bad taste.

It is also … a weird miss?

I guess the idea and the silliness might make sense for a affordable product aimed at teenagers and students: «Hey, here is a product that simulates all that stuff at a reasonable price, so you can experiment and figure out what speaks to you.» 🧵1/2

But the iPad Pro is not a reasonably priced product. It is a product (ostensibly?) aimed at professionals. It aims to be used by people that know and cherish all those tools that are being crushed.

They will not replace those with an iPad. At most, they will use the iPad to augment them.

This ad just does not make sense in that regard. 🧵2/2

Function naming problems!

So, you know floor/ceiling/round

But, what do I name one that given the input 3.25 has a 75% chance of rounding it to 3 and 25% chance of rounding it to 4?

I realize it's going to be an incredibly useful function for adaptive music.

But... what do I call it?

xeophin,
@xeophin@swiss.social avatar

@Nifflas Wikipedia calls it stochastic rounding? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

Well, I guess if this shows their knowledge of time it is no wonder they can’t keep running on time.
