jpopesculian··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
In Austria we call it Sturm. Especially this time of year people love to drink it, but drinking it in large quantities will cause unwanted bowel movements.
jpopesculian··on Turns are Better than Radians (2022)
The nice thing about turns is that they can be represented by an unsigned integer. For example with an 8 bit unsigned integer:

- 0000_0000 = 0 or tau

- 1000_0000 = pi

- 1100_0000 = 3*pi/4

And the addition and multiplication by integer scalars all apply and the overflows work naturally. I wrote a little library in rust [0] to help with this as you can define the operations */+-% etc.

jpopesculian··on Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself
Reminds me of The Disappearance of Rituals by Byung-Chul Han. It's difficult to succinctly state the premise of the book, but in a way, I think its about structuring time and attention vertically on top of itself instead of horizontally across moments and subjects

Looks cool! How does it compare to loco.rs?
jpopesculian··on See this page fetch itself, byte by byte, over TLS
Very cool! Reminds me of the illustrated TLS connection which was a helpful resource for me when I had to implement a variation of it.

jpopesculian··on The kids are not okay
Agreed. Like the section right after

> The conflation of suicide rates with forced sex here seems at best highly misleading. The sexual frequency number is rather obviously a reflection of two years where people were doing rather a lot of social distancing. With the end of that, essentially anything social is going to go up in frequency, whether it is good, bad or horrifying – only a 27 percent increase seems well within the range one would expect from that. Given all the other trends in the world, it would be very surprising to me if the rates of girls being subjected to forced sex (for any plausible fixed definition of that) were not continuing to decline.

If you look at the data from the cdc [0] there's no dip during quarantine like that paragraph would suggest leading to this sudden surge in comparison. Theres just an increase

I recently heard of haptx[0] and I think they use microfluidics for their haptic feedback stuff

SingleOps | Fullstack Engineer | Atlanta, GA | REMOTE, Full-time | https://singleops.com/contact/join-our-team/

SingleOps is a rapidly growing, Atlanta based, SaaS platform for mobile field workforces like tree care services, landscaping, pest control, healthcare — anyone who regularly coordinates employees in the field. The platform combines estimates, scheduling, time tracking, CRM, invoicing, and QuickBooks syncing with a mobile-first interface for teams on the go. Think of it as a cloud-ERP solution like NetSuite, but much easier to use and geared towards field service companies.

We're looking for a Mobile Application Engineer, a Web Application Engineer, as well as other sales, marketing and customer success positions. You can fill out the form at https://singleops.com/contact/join-our-team/ or email me directly at julian@singleops.com
