99% of the marbles in a bag are blue. How many blue marbles must be removed so that the percentage of blue marbles is 98? There are three marbles of another color.
Think step by step:

Model
2.7s
Let's say there are 'x' blue marbles initially.
Total marbles: Since there are 3 marbles of another color, the total number of marbles is x + 3.
Initial percentage of blue marbles: We know that 99% of the marbles are blue, so we can write this as an equation: x / (x + 3) = 0.99
Solving for x: To s…

Old graphical editor prototype (2019/20) with various ways of managing multiple selections of graphical entities, incl. align/distribute, duplicate, invert, select/deselect region (box/convex hull). editor is generic. items could be files, shapes, mesh vertices, 2d/3d points, graph nodes, whatever...

Screenrecording of a graphical editor prototype showing a number of circles being duplicated/manipulated and re-arranged via a sequence of mouse gestures and keyboard commands (the most recently executed command is shown in the top-left corner). The steps are:

- turn on grid
- create/duplicate circles (with grid snapping)
- selecting all
- duplicating selection(s) to form an 8x8 layout
- manually selecting 4 circles and then all circles in the convex hull
- drawing multiple box selectio…

If MAGA fascist types have a weird biological fear of contracting diseases, that would kind of make sense in an uneducated, ill-informed logic sort of way.
It doesn't explain why so many got the heebie jeebies around wearing masks during COVID-19 but maybe these weirdos just hate the association they mentally have with masks & disease...?

Yeah, from what I've seen, this checks out. Brain fog is real & seems permanent.

I *continue* to be surprised at Claude 3.5 Sonnet's nuance when editing code. It is by no means perfect, but it's better than me! E.g. I had it create a bookmarklet installer page, which contained a text field for edits and a button to update the bookmarklet, but there was also an event that auto updated the code -- the button was superfluous. When pointed out, Claude reviewed the code, confirmed the superfluousness, removed the button, renamed the function AND ADDED A DEBOUNCE! 1/2…

Unpopular opinion on software development
Yesterday, I came across CI cultists.
They were preaching one should merge in main multiple times a day.
Quite frankly, I associate this behaviour to lab rats compulsively clicking the button to get gratifications (please don't do that to rats).
I think developers should refrain from becoming merge junkies. Code review is essential for good code quality. Automated tests suck at detecting logical errors, security vulnerabilities, and even decent code coverage.
Also, I believe pair programming is absolutely not a strategy to allow continuous integration. Everybody involved in the development process is drunk on their own bullshit reasons they made up to justify their poor design. Either the code review should be done by someone else, or the developers should sober up for a fortnight before code reviewing their own code.
PS: I am a software developer. I get drunk on my own bullshit as well.
