very excited to make some vegan kimchi later today

BTW if you like the work I'm doing on things like ActivityPub, maybe consider joining patreon.com/cwebber

To be clear: I'm not in a financial danger, I do have income from contracting, and I love my clients. However, I more or less paid for most of ActivityPub's specification work myself, and prioritizing community things is easier when I have to worry about contracting less.

Thanks everyone who's supporting already :)

PSA for people who #code:

Looking stuff up does NOT make you bad at coding.

"Not having to look up stuff" is NOT the benchmark for a good coder, especially as coders have to look up stuff ALL THE TIME!

And I don't mean highly advanced stuff, but stuff like "How does division work again?" or "What's that function called?" or my personal favorite "How to I nest for loops in list comprehensions?".

It's ok if you have to look up stuff!

Other systems' color palettes are not nearly so interesting; IBM's EGA and the ZX Spectrum palette are just "full blast" 0xF00 red, blue, green etc. The VIC-II engineers specifically say they picked colors they liked. mastodon.social/media/1eXt_xOC

today What's Good is how the two engineers who designed the Commodore 64's VIC-II video chip chose 16 very specific colors that profoundly affected the aesthetics of the thousands of games produced for the C64 in the decades since. I sometimes wonder what their office looked like, what kind of music they were listening to. Every color choice is a moment in time, only a few echo for decades. mastodon.social/media/mJ_06eDZ
