Just inner voice

It kind of becomes a set of math facts, and my brain does this spatial thing where I "feel" like I am doing the task with my hands even though, of course, I am not. I have a really good spatial sense. I can pretty reliably draw floorplans of places I have spent a couple days in, at least in spatial relation if not exact size. I'm very good at identifying potential furniture reconfiguration of rooms. With my wife it is an interesting dynamic - she has such a rich inner visual life that for something like thinking about a new piece of furniture, or a move of existing, she needs me to tape out the new layout. Her visual memory of the space blocks here from imagining the new possibility, or it is so deep that she need to reconfigure everything visually. I just am aware of the alternative

Those don't sound to me like aphantasiac properties. possibly related, but sound like other memory topics. Especially the first one

Nothing, no

I have an inner monologue, that is the extent of my inner senses.

When I learned through my sport career that visualize the race actually meant visualize and not just talk it through with your inner monologue. It was deeply reinforced when my wife first told me she sees an entire movie when she reads books.

The image? no - the after image of the light on my retina, yes. But as soon as that fades there is nothing

Some people hear orchestral swells when, say, reading a book that mentions them. I don't have that. I have an inner monologue that can sing. I forget the term but as I understand it there are people who don't have an inner monologue. I think many of those would still be able to have "sound" imagery

After looking at a photo? I have a memory of the "facts" of the photograph. I have no image of it

Proprioception is good. I was a fairly accomplished high school and college club athlete in sports that require body parts to move out of visual range

I'm a musician, but don't "hear" music in my head. I have an extensive memory of lyrics, and can guess the next notes of a song, but I use my inner monologue to sing or hum it in my head, I don't hear it. I can recall the visuals of a movie scene similar to how I can tell you how my office is organized. It is a spatial memory of where things are and aligned with each other. I don't replay the scene in any sense of the word

She's 5 ft tall, sharp features, curly white hair. i can remember imagery facts, but have not visual memory

Aphantasiac here, happy to discuss or answer any questions

It might not be bad for you, but it tastes like crap

You made a card stand for the Boston Celtics? The Celtics own that logo, selling it is clear trademark infringement. Same is true for most (all?) of the images on the post. Just because a customer provided the image does not mean they own the the trademarks or copyrights

It would be a it more compelling if every example, at least for me, didn't return `[error: NetworkError: A network error occurred.]`

Lots of growing love for returning to the template system and using HTMX with a bit of alpine sprinkled in as needed for interactivity.

Working with Django for the past 15 years has been a pleasure. Joining the community was a revelation. Serving on the board and as president of the DSF was a privilege. I look forward to 20 more years of code and community.

This is a good take on one of the many areas that companies need to change process in as they grow. Bad communication can hamper and destroy a company just as much as bad hiring, bad vision, bad money management.

I about the process in this write up though. There is communication and there is discussion. The article is framed in a way that suggests top down communication process needed to change so that a larger company could be sure that everyone is on the same page and aware of what they need to be aware of. Both examples then however name check the idea that feedback is expected at the least, welcome at best.

How are we meant to read this paragraph:

> “Marketing says we’re an observability platform, not a tool.” It isn’t enough that our CMO said the words in All Hands. As a representative of Marketing, it’s important to me that our product, documentation, engineers who are speaking at conferences, and customer success people get the language consistent. That means I need to show up at department meetings and talk to people in their perspective. Next Monday I’ll talk to all of Engineering very briefly, and later to the docs team specifically.

It reads as if marketing has made a decision by fiat for the rest of the company to toe the line. No judgement there, that may well be how the company chooses to operate. What then is the need for "talk to people in their perspective"? Is various department perspectives going to change the marketing language, or is it just to placate everyone that they were heard? Why does the perspective taking not happen _before_ the decision as input on if the language should change?

> The impact of Markdown becomes clear if we plot a random sample of content websites. (Disclaimer: the data is made-up, based on my perception of the state of the web)

It makes sense that your perception of the web has driven you to create a new tool and market it with a think piece. But to expand that to suggest you have effectively realized and filled a new vector space in the web is excessive

>That sparse area just beyond the limits of Markdown is of vital importance to the web. These websites are not only a joy to read but also the ones that explore the web's possibilities, embracing the medium and evoking a truly web-native feel.

>Currently, these websites are outliers created by individuals who care deeply about the reader's experience or by companies willing to invest extra effort. We need more of them.

Interesting to me that you have added "focus on this paragraph" coloring to your site. I'm not against that in principle, but you have placed it farther up the page than I prefer to read and scroll. So you care deeply about my experience, have created a whole tool to inhabit an area of web design that you think is undeserved, rationalize it based on feels, and, for me, deliver a poorer experience to show it off.

"The Website Wasteland", as you call it, is a good thing if this is the result of populating it.

Would you count Cargill[0]? Cause they are privately held, all in on the farming world, and have net income in the billions annually

Not ego, he's playing on the old Ivory Soap slogan "99+44⁄100% Pure"

The Transformers song almost certainly doesn't have that weird break as written. The Youtuber spends 18 minutes trying to figure out the music for what is most likely a production artifact - the recorded music didn't line up with the animation beats, so they did a hard cut on the audio track to make it fit.

Building a prototype with Dan Gelbart [0]. An engineer and inventor, he has an 18 episode playlist of every aspect of using a machine shop to build prototypes. It teaches machining. Shop use, thinking though physical creation where order of operations is paramount. Really just a great learning experience even if you never plan on doing machining.

It would have been nice for the author to get into or link to a description of the convex hull algorithm since that was the speed up magic. Since they didn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

At those temps I believe many metals will also end up being heat treated. And it sounds like the time will be dependent on how much hydrogel is present, so there will be at least a lower bound on what heat treatment you need apply. I wonder how that works with the shrinking, along with lots of other properties you may want of the end product
