I wonder if Seymour Papert's Logo programming language influenced the SVG path syntax. M and L correspond directly to "pen up/pen down" and move.

M and L and C are abbreviations for "moveto" and "lineto" and "curveto" from Postscript (which SVG was based on). I thought pen up and pen down in logo were "PENUP" and "PENDOWN."

It's a good time as any to remind everyone that The Jerk is still one of the funniest movies ever made. It could never be made today, and I suggest you pick up a copy if you've never seen it.

cloudfudge · 5 days ago

I watched it again recently because someone I knew had never seen it. It's actually not very funny anymore. I am still amused at a lot of the jokes in it, but more in an academic sense because I remember how funny it was. There's a lot of stuff in it that's really funny on paper but just doesn't make you actually laugh anymore. Comedy doesn't really age that well, and I believe that it's because what surprises us and what's considered "clever" inevitably changes over time.

There is no visible plumbing because it kinda is magic! Astro provides adapters for different server runtimes (e.g., Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify), and it's basically just plug and play. The Cloudflare adapter exposes a bunch of bindings [1] through `Astro.locals.runtime`, which can be accessed during each request. The `cf` binding contains incoming request properties [2], including latitude and longitude.

These bindings (or at least some of them) are also mocked when developing locally, in a non-Cloudflare-Workers environment.

Great explanation; thanks.

As an old-timer who's not up on all the latest whiz-bang web stuff, I have to ask what is the astro/cloudflare/wrangler magic that allows the following to work:

  const { latitude = "0", longitude = "0" } = Astro.locals.runtime.cf || {};

I gather you're using some cloudflare feature wrapped in astro to provide lat/long but I don't see the actual plumbing that gets it to you (and I did try to spelunk through a decent amount of documentation to find it). Can you elaborate?

Weird. On the homepage for GPT-5 it says "Available to everyone."

cloudfudge · 18 days ago

Yeah, and on the models page, everything else is labeled as deprecated. So as a paid user, I don't have access to anything that's not deprecated. Great job, guys.

Not the end of the world, but this messaging is asinine.

Check the barebones but functional Wallabag. Hosted version available for a fee.

cloudfudge · 3 months ago

Wallabag looks great, if a little homebrew. I signed up and had to laugh that the default "Welcome to wallabag" article could not be retrieved. Regardless, I decided to give 'em 12 bucks and see how it goes.

390 million users. Say 10% on iOS. 39 million users. 18Gb on iOS last time

Yeah app distribution costs something. Finger in the air 10's of petabytes...

cloudfudge · 4 months ago

These apps are streaming massive amounts of data from epic's servers constantly. The incremental cost of downloading the actual app code is the tiniest of considerations. The app is a couple static files that would be served from a CDN. Now compare this minuscule cost to giving away 30% of their in app purchases. There is simply no comparison.

Fortnite - sit in lobby for 80% of the time and buy shit?

Tim just wants all of his cut.

And wants Apple to pay his app distribution costs...

There's no good guys anywhere in this.

cloudfudge · 4 months ago

"App distribution costs" is laughable as an incentive. Any business that makes an app where you can and will spend dollars would gladly let you download it directly from their website in exchange for not giving up 30% of the in-app payments. App distribution costs nothing.

20250221-nyc-trip is not a creation time, it's an identifier of the subject. they're both dates but they're different things.

cloudfudge · 6 months ago

I mean, if you define your identifiers to start with the creation time, then it's both.
