Oh, I wish I could do something like that for my Nokia N800.

Awesome. I while ago I was playing around some JS graphic/game engine/frameworks and came across Kaboom (now Kaplay) and it stroke me as a really different approach to the whole thing. I am now again playing with it and it's really impressive and fun.

Also, thank you for you tutorials. I have stumbled on some of them too.

I read an article a while back, than when something really bad happens to the body, the brain looks back into memories to "see" how to solve the problem - maybe it happened before and it will know what to do (like when you cut yourself the second time, you know exactly what to do).

But because it never encountered something like it, it cannot find a solution.

And apparently this is why people when they die see their life flashing before their eyes.

I was reading the comments trying to find something similar to this. I remember reading a similar explanation. The brain in a ultimate attempt of solving that fatal situation goes deeply thought memories to find anything that could help. Evolutionarily, this would make sense.

50% tariff on Brazil so they stop offering lessons in democratic maturity.

Obsidian + folders (done, wip, todo, trash) + one file per task (and all details and notes inside each file). That's been really good for me.

1. Github. 2. Git was created and used as a version control in the development of the Linux kernel. Some people may correctly think: if it's good enough to be the version control for Linux, it should handle my project.

And it’s wild to think that more than 1/3 of the devs I’ve met in my life support this admin. These are seemingly smart people. The past 10 years or so made me realize I don’t know anything about human nature or intellect.

Edit: I am in no way saying conservatism is bad and liberalism is good. I have my values in both.

Intelligence sometimes manifests as doing the wrong thing in the most convoluted way.

What they go after is not just the name, but the shapes. But I think you are fine as long as you do not monetize or get popular.
silveira · 7 months ago
The shapes are called tetrominos, four squares connected orthogonally. Tetris the game, was created with pentominoes (5 squares) and scaled down to tetrominos. The game was inspired by physical puzzles where fill a rectangle with the shapes. So these shapes existed before Tetris.

Would they go after the shapes? Possibly. See "Tetris Holding, LLC v. Xio Interactive, Inc.".

Already using Tree Style Tabs. It's the one critical plugin I need. I still don't understand how anyone works without it.
silveira · 8 months ago
The same. Sometimes I pair with people working (programming) and having dozens of tabs open without any vertical tabs plugin. They pretty much have to spend time clicking and searching tab by tab what they need.

I don't get why vertical tab is not at least an option in all browsers.
