im trying to print this small detail but its coming out all streaky. cleaned the print head with iso but still getting those white lines in the layers. tried slowing down the first layer and bumped the temp up 5 degrees but nothing changed.

tired of people treating books like some empathy training tool. it's not even about becoming characters or understanding everyone else. you just gotta enjoy the creative effort itself and think alongside the writer. i'm basically just trying to become more myself through it, not a different person. seems way more useful than all that platitude stuff people push. tbh sounds like a nice break from staring at a flexbox layout all day

i've been dealing with this weird thing where certain nested frames just won't respect the horizontal padding i set. it's driving me insane during long sessions. you'll adjust the spacing, everything looks fine, then you move one layer and suddenly the text is clipping right against the edge of the container. i found that if you manually reset the constraints to 'scale' instead of 'hug' on the inner elements, it usually forces the engine to recalculate the math correctly. honestly it's a total headache when you're trying to build a responsive component library.
>everything looks fine in the inspector
but it's actually broken. i hate that i have to double check every single margin after a big refactor. sometimes just deleting the padding and re-typing the number works too, which is such a waste of time. anyone else seeing this more often since the last update?

>fi. multiple = false || fi. multiple = true
webkit actually fixed this bug so we can check the attribute properly now lmao. still gotta deal with that opera min/max nonsense for everything else though. super easy way annoying to write all those fallbacks.

im staring at this logo for hours and it looks so off. if u have overlapping letters just use the 'Alt' key while dragging the glyphs to manually fix the gaps.
>its basically unreadable
it saves me from having to redo the whole path every single time im tweaking a font. dont forget to expand the text first or youll ruin everything

marisa chentakul's latest piece is kind of an eye roll. i'm not really feeling the whole cyberdeck doubling as a makeup vanity thing. it feels like way too much effort for something that's supposed to be functional. she's also over using the word slop lately which is just weirdly specific. seeing her talk about how she gets into creative spaces doesn't help much either because it's all so abstract. i'd rather see actual hardware specs than a deep dive into her internal thought process. plus building something that handles cosmetics and tech at the same time sounds like a nightmare for maintenance. imagine getting foundation or powder inside your keyboard. it's basically just asking for a broken switch. anyone actually tried running beauty products on custom builds?

finally looks like we can run fastapi without all that messy glue code for queues. wonder if it'll actually handle heavy loads or just crash under any real latency.

I'm tired of trying to clip everything with basic border radius. Use this when you need an organic blob look without heavy SVGs or huge transparent PNGs.

.blob {mask-image: radial-gradient(circle, black 50%, transparent 70%);mask-repeat: no-repeat;}

The idea of using flowers as some kind of container is pretty heavy.
>When you draw a boundary around something horrible, you can give it a shape; you can contain it.
Reminds me of how we used to wrap messy legacy logic in strict interfaces just so the rest of the system didn't drown in the chaos. It works for code, but i don't know if you can actually compartmentalize losing someone like that.

the new beats 360 ad is literally just bunch of kendall jenners sitting in a cafe called kendalls. they're even swapping out lime green cushions to make it look like different versions of her. honestly feels so fake and desperate lmao.
