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...
Been re-animating this prototype and toying with integrating it into my personal note taking & media management tool to organize items into piles for batch-processing and to easier app…

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…

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image shows a scene from a science fiction television show set. It appears to be inside a futuristic spacecraft, characterized by angular and geometric patterns on the walls and high-tech controls. There are two individuals: one standing at what looks like a control panel, wearing a teal outfit, and another seated closer to the viewer, wearing a black top. The overall atmosphere suggests a dramatic or intense moment, typical of many sci-fi narratives."

Getting an education shouldn't crush young citizens with debt right before they hit the workforce. Economists have shown repeatedly that the economic benefit of removing student debt FAR outweighs the "income tax" losses.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR CONSERVATIVES TO UNDERSTAND?

ChatGPT4 describes the image as: "The image appears to be a scene from a science fiction television show with four men dressed in futuristic or fantasy-style outfits. The setting looks like an outdoor location with greenery and a brick or stone wall in the background, suggesting a moment of action or tension. The men seem focused or alerted by something off-camera, and one of them is holding a weapon, which adds to the intensity of the scene. This context suggests they might be involved in a su…

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.
