    Whatever do you mean commas are an important part of sentences and they are the best way to separate phrases to prevent run on sentences my commas have not been stolen they are safely locked up in my grammatoreum vault that is guarded by a particularly unchill poodle named Feathers who patrols the grounds most diligently and often can been seen chasing off would-be punctuation bandits.

    Some parents I know actually never really get angry when their kids do stupid shit and instead talk it out. I have to do wonder if those kids will be super well adjusted or totally deranged. I kind of feel like they’ll be so different from me as to barely be the same species, but probably in a good way, like more evolved

    If souls aren’t real, it makes our existence even stranger. Like two people rawdog one time and now there’s this conscious sentient being with hopes and desires and depression. That needs food water and shelter for 80 years

    Also why is our existence so dystopian, we have untold wonders available to us and nearly free food, but it’s like the constant ability to compare what we have with others makes us crazy. We’ve been granted nearly global telepathy and it makes us all go mad




  • I seriously hope it’s like the rendering at the bottom of the article with two physical button areas (4 each), two physical joysticks, and two touch pads. That feels like the best of all worlds.

    I want to love the Steam Controller 1 so much but the missing right joystick and the touch pad for the left dpad just feels so bad for so many games that were designed for two joysticks. It’s so hard to get the muscle memory right. I’m always trying to use the left pad as a dpad and tapping it wrong.

    I wish someone could show me what I’m missing but it feels so frustrating



  • But also maintain an older car for as long as possible, shop at thrift stores, do your own cooking, garden, save meat for special occasions, collect rainwater, get some older used solar panels, and have a small monthly hobby budget. You’ll find you can live so well on so little. For some reason we’ve all been conditioned to act like we’re wealthy for no reason at all. True wealth is freedom from the grind, not a stupid new toy or status symbol.

    Become Hobbit pilled and realize the good life isn’t about isolation and stupid stuff but deep connections with friends and the earth.









  • Wow thanks! If you like this, on Monday I’m planning to release an update that will let you rewind the viewer all the way back to 1959 and see the first launch of Sputnik. Then let it play forward to today sped up so you can see the growth of satellite counts. Also a new public API to fetch the TLEs from any date. I’m hoping this will let folks do interesting stuff with all that data - maybe AI training or research projects etc.

    Wow thanks so much!

    Yes, so I’m taking every telescope/radio/radar reading I’m allowed to redistribute and then collecting them into a time series database and fetching the most recent reading for each sat into a text file. That’s the TLE download in the public API. Then I use Rust WASM to propagate those readings into positions that are synced with the viewer time. This allows us to very roughly forecast where they will be for the next couple days.

    It’s cool because it’s too much data to transfer over the network, so we only transfer the most recent reading and then calculate positions live in the browser.
