@… I know you’re talking about capture but <svg> has the ability to both embed bitmaps and adapt to light/dark mode so it might be nice to piggy back on that functionality!

@… all light mode and no dark mode is certainly a choice!
Heyo! It's been a very silent and calming day for me. Full relax mode - a bit of programming. And thinking about a walk to the mountains tomorrow.
I'm still undecided where I'd like to go. I'll let the weather decide I guess.
Anyways. The photo is - to me - similar relaxing as my day was. Just some bit of sunshine and a bit of wind ...

I've had ideas rattling around in my head for a while but not quite hitting coherence.
What does a "rich terminal" mean to you as a developer? We're in a really weird place right now with regards to UI and UX, with chat as a normal mode of operation being everywhere, yet we're constrained to two major paradigms: the terminal user interface, and the instant message. Both come with really weird limits to their affordances.
And there's prior art here — light table, jupyter notebooks, observable hq, rich REPLs — but they're usually this weird hybrid of not quite transcript not quite live program that I find somewhere between unsettling and frustrating.
I do however think it's well past time we abandoned monospaced type as the core way we think about source code, and at the same time, built better user interfaces than that allows, without going full "this is a program with its own interface”
It's weird uncharted territory.

Abstract: Regenerative amplifier x-ray free-electron lasers constitute alternative configurations for fourth generation light sources which are typically operated in self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mode. However, SASE exhibits relatively large fluctuations in the power and spectral properties from shot to shot, whereas XRAFELs provide a much more stable source of hard x-ray photons. Here, we study the performance of an x-ray cavity under consideration at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Facility using both uniform and step-tapered undulators with either transmissive or hole out-coupling.

Did #plasma just randomly reset all my colors and icon themes to default (light mode, breeze instead of oxygen, ...)
