<<is still hurt he got no love from @jasonbell for his Tina/David/Chris references>> @otfrom I did miss them as my headspace was in manifold streams and promises š
But if itās Tina adoration youāre after then Iād watch BBC4 this eveningā¦..
huh, writing code - i remember that fondly @maleghast
@mccraigmccraig ah, the CTO's life?
it's snuck up on me in the last couple of months @otfrom - i've gotten almost zero code written, apart from a couple of hotfixes, and spent most of my time on customer stuff and burning ops issues
thankfully we hired a COO to do that stuff š
(apart from sales which our CEO leads)
some of those ops issues have been magnesium-flare level burning @lady3janepl š¬
anyone know of a good front-end web developer (html/css/javascript or clojurescript) than can build an animated company website (animations along the lines of this website https://crypton.trading/). We have graphics, just need to turn it into a website (fairly quickly)
Lots of lovely JavaScript I assume... I should check to see how big the file is, but it loads pretty snappy
The people that wrote the crypton.trading site are https://www.cssdesignawards.com/sites/crypton-trading/32657/, but no info on how its done specifically
Yes, CSS transformations are very powerful these days. You can also do lots of great stuff with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
meh ā itās probably adobe after effects
I used to work at an agency with some really good interactive/animation folk and front enders, had been through the whole director/flash thing etcā¦ My understanding was that adobe shaped current CSS/animation standards such that they suited their animation toolingā¦ and effectively required it for anything complex.
I have no idea how it all worksā¦ I know they have various export processes such that if you prep assets in a certain way you can add hooks in to trigger animations etcā¦ It wouldnāt surprise me if there were tools that did the common stuff like this directly for youā¦. but I suspect that library lets animators effectively throw assets over the wall for devs to hook into scroll events etcā¦
Our designer knows about a lot of this stuffā¦ heās been through the adobe director mill etcā¦ though he tends to avoid doing it if he can; simply because of the time and money cost.
Iād be very interested in your comments on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjbcayvTcKQ TL;DR: It outlines a systemic approach to property based (integration) testing.
interesting
will need to give it a watch
My comment is that I would like a transcript rather than having to watch a 45 minute video
YouTube sometimes has transcripts FWIW (click on the āMore actionsā ellipsis icon and chose āOpen transcriptā). It has in this case too (FSVO transcript).
generates a better than humans at a put 5:03 generation right this is not minus 5:06 infinity minus 1 0 null plus Q a kind of 5:10 inputs but the entire range the the
watch it at 1.5x speed
most speakers waffle to some extent
itās the ability to reread and search-jump (or quick read-scan) to a specific place that makes transcripts more valuable to me
I tend to watch them at 1.25 or 1.5 speed depending on the speaker, that said having a transcript is very useful as well of course
Protip if you ever work at the BBC: read the transcript of the mandatory training videos to get them finished quickly #lifehacks
video is rubbish as a format for delivering information
it forces linear consumption and forbids skimming and other non-linear consumption strategies
i watch most videos/films/tv-series at 1.75x. itās about as much as I can manage without it getting uncomfortable
oh, so much for reading the rest of the convo .. ppl have already talked about this ā¦ i will go hide in my cave now
Delivering information, maybe. Learning, rubbish (because non-linear consumption strategies are how you refresh, and therefore improve your recall.)
I think most of my tech video consumption is about removing the barrier of 'this thing is weird and I don't get it' so I can then find some docs and, well, go and get it
I used the read the TV reviews in the paper years ago... it would 5 minutes max and I could talk about all the interesting programs that were on the evening before.
It's a very useful tool for teaching entirely practical tasks, like how to change the inner tube in a bicycle tyre.
good point for when the task has a difficult-to-describe 3d manipulation component - much less so for when it's how to setup your EKS cluster
you donāt have to look up marie kondo specifically, but look up the japanese method to fold a t shirt
okay, but you can fold a shirt, or you can roll it up š¤Æ and it's just as neat & way quicker
(too much time doing band merch)
rolling FTW @alex.lynham - you get better packing and better visibility
i haven't tried it yet, because i've only just thought of it, but it occurs to me that rolling and storing end-down might be even better in a high-density drawer
Iām struggling with the marie kondo attitude to books, Iāve got thirty books on dataā¦.. and the rest, well thereās loads of them. Theyāre not going anywhere.
She's written four books. Should we get rid of those too? š
@seancorfield only if you have 34 booksā¦.
First episode of Discovery season two is available on Netflix. To watch one episode a week as they come out or to binge watch them in one sitting later? :thinking_face:
I strongly suspect when she talked about books she wasnāt talking to knowledge workers
Plus, after moving several times already with ~30 bags worth of books, you know what - sheās got a point.
(Personal research library. Iām in the process of donating stuff either to the relevant uni library or to people who are still working on the subject.)
As I look on my kindle use however (thatās where fiction is), I have a ton of things I read once and a number of books that I reread regularly
And for practical stuff thereās this attitude of, donāt read it if youāre not going to use it instantly, otherwise you get into lifehacking/cooking/whatever āpornā.
So... Iām not saying live only with 20 books, but large personal libraries could be often thinned significantly without perceivable impact.
I can't remember the last time I bought a physical book... I have hundreds of technical books in DropBox and OneDrive (and, hence, on my laptop, phone, and desktop).
