I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.
This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.
Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So ch…
Feeling a bit embarrassed on behalf of a journal editor: We got two reviews for a manuscript today, and the response of reviewer 2 was for a different manuscript, even including the title of that other manuscript. 🫠 😂
It’s been a dramatic week at the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In the space of seven days,
the agency’s head was sacked and replaced by an interim head,
four senior staff members resigned,
and existing staff took to the streets to express support for their ousted leaders.

my next best bet for a usable editor is sublime text, and unfortunately st4 doesn't seem like it's particularly actively developed anymore. yes, it's still maintained, but i expect a much better editor today than in 2010

Here‘s a little tip if you’re using (the latest version of) Helix Editor:
Add the following keybinding to your config (if you don’t use Ctrl b for page up, that is; otherwise, change the key):
[keys.normal]
C-b = ":echo %sh{git blame -L %{cursor_line}, 1 %{buffer_name}}"
Now, when you press Crtl b in the editor, you’ll see the git blame for the line you’re on. Very useful for seeing which commit the line last changed in and, for teams, who committed the chang…

Don’t understand all the people posting “[that PAC-Man AI article] was probably written by AI” meaning it as a serious contribution to the discourse.
Even if it was (it wasn’t) it wouldn’t change anything—the author of an article is responsible for its contents.
Their editor is responsible for signing of on it.
Seriously, why has the PHPStorm/IntelliJ Markdown plugin been broken for so many years? I don't want a preview, the settings all day to just show me the editor, so it shows me only the preview for README.md, and split-screen for anything else.
WHY? HOW is a company with JetBrains' engineering prowess not able to fix this, years after I first encountered and reported it? As have many others?

My latest blog and letter to the editor.
I really do wonder how many people will die before governments around the world get serious about ending the use of fossil fuels. We are now at the point where only very quick and immediate shutting down of the fossil fuel industry can reasonably save us from an absolutely horrific future.
We've already completely changed the present and locked in more unknowns for decades to come...

Jesus, I thought Wikimedia at least would understand its editors. Who on earth thought this was going to go over well?
SE was at least a for-profit company, WM has no excuse for this. There are plenty of places where they can use AI really fruitfully, but none of them are to do with generating user-facing content.
Excellent piece by a dear friend of mine about #censorship in our national parks. Read her piece and then use the #DefendResearch toolkits to call your elected officials and write a letter to the editor!

Do I know anyone using DayOne? I am curious if the application has seen any improvements in the last couple of years.
I have abandoned it 3 years ago due to “too many thin but deep paper cuts” mostly around the Markdown editor which led me to feel like the focus of the team behind it is somewhere else.
I have been using Bear meanwhile. Which has been absolutely fabulous in terms of the quality of the editor. I am missing some features in Bear that I really like & appreciate:
1) automatic location; 2) on this day; 3) show entries from location.

Interesting thing about tomorrow's tarot show, rendering now, is that I upgraded from Blender 4.0 to blender 4.4 and it's quite a bit nicer to look at the timeline editor.
Was sad to find that the render time was up though. From about 3 seconds per frame usually to more like 12!?
Trying it with an old version I see that the lights and textures look way better with 4.4 than 4.0 though. A substantial step up in the way the show looks without me even doing anything other than waiting four times longer per frame.
Seems to be heavily dependent upon lighting now. The slow frames are like 12 seconds but the fast frames with minimal lighting and close up on the video are more like 2.
Looks too beautiful now to go back though. Upgraded my cloud-remote render machines too. We will render on four machines tonight. FOUR! The power of it all.
g3.4xlarge is no faster than g3.large but g6.xlarge seems to be twice the speed.
But hard to be sure really coz of the massive variance in time depending on the lighting.
Anyway, great show coming tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm trying to do with it but tomorrow's show is the answer. Hide the angry bitter political rant behind a strange CGI tarot show. When the rant comes together well I like it.
