I think untimed, breakless typing affects my wrists more than any other factor. Got up with some pain today, and I did do a few hours of “let’s see how this goes without breaks” computer time. I haven’t played guitar in the last two days.Comments

In the Arizona desert, James Turrell is creating one of the most ambitious artworks in American history.Comments
This guy acquired an inactive volcano and has been spending decades designing and building light-using art exhibits in it.When the moon passes overhead, its light streams down the tunnel, refracting through a six-foot-diameter lens and projecting an image of the moon onto an eight-foot-high disk of white marble below. The work is built to align most perfectly during the Major Lunar Standstill every 18.61 years.

I find the tape hiss and record static added to lo-fi hip hop comical, but I find this Pablo Reche track, which is almost entirely tape hiss and electrical hub, really compelling!Comments

~~instead ofMath.floorfor a not-great reason: It's easier to type. However, it is also easier to mistype~, which will convert the number into an integer and invert the bits. (I need the second~to flip the bits back while keeping the free integer conversion.) -
On the latest Frothcast episode, there’s a segment on Gary Gygax’s house rules. Gygax projects the idea that you should challenge players as much as possible in everything I read by him. It turns out Gygax had all of his players start their characters at level 3, gave them all sorts of bonuses, and also let them live beyond 0 hp.Comments
I feel betrayed.
Regardless, I think there is still value to both character-preserving games, and “life is cheap” kind of approaches. -

Once in a while, I become aware that it is weird that computers make you type things like this:Comments

I say this every time someone contributes to a project I maintain for free, but sometimes, open source is cool.Comments
Apparently, annoy-node didn't work in Node 14. I didn't even know there was a Node 14. So, I planned to look at it this week, hoping that the breaking change to the add-on API was not a nightmare. I wasn't looking forward to it because, like everyone else, I have a lot of other things to do.
Unexpectedly, some nice person jumped in and looked up the changes, updated the code, and actually ran the tests, which involve downloading 3.6 GB of test data. Whew!
There are, of course, many downsides to open source in its current most popular form which have been well-documented, but it's nice when the distributed effort and sharing part works right. -
I posted a bit of news of the weird, except for JavaScript.Comments

From Playing at the World:Comments
Avalon Hill games from prior offerings available to the American public. in 1 may, all units have a “combat factor” which quantifies their overall efficacy in battle. After the movement phase of a turn, all adjacent opposing units resolve combat by throwmg dice (the rules call for rolling a “cubit,” a euphemism to disassociate this d1c1ng from gambling) and comparing the results to a Combat Results Table (CRT).
“Oh, no, sir. These here cubits, you see.” - Comments
