tuzemec··on Ideal monitor rotation for programmers (2021)
I'm using Rectangle[1] on Mac for this. But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

tuzemec··on The Closing of the Bulgarian Frontier
As someone who's a bit older than the author and from the same corner of the world - this was a really nice piece.

Brought a lot of memories from the early 90s. The blackouts, the queues for bread and fruits, and the empty shelves... I was a kid back then and I didn't had any perspective. But I wander how my parents dealt with all that. I can't recall they complaining too much.

tuzemec··on Dynamic music and sound techniques for video games
I remember a talk by Borislav Slavov (composer for Divinity: Original Sin 2, BG3) where he was showing how the music changes depending on the player's actions in D:OS2.

One of the examples, that I found really cool, was switching from major to minor scale when the player enters in stealth mode. There were other interesting bits and tricks, but this one really stood out for me.

Also, it worths mentioning that the player was able to choose the lead instrument for the in-game music during the character creation - flute, tambour, oud, and cello.

Not sure if that talk is available online. I've got the chance to meet him in person a few years ago.

tuzemec··on Balkan genomes trace the rise/fall of Roman Empire's frontier, migrations
Not sure who was saying that the Balkans produce much more history than they can consume.

Maybe Churchill?

tuzemec··on Baldur's Gate 3 Wins Game of the Year at the Game Awards
I'm kinda bummed that they didn't get the music category award too.
tuzemec··on macOS Sonoma is setting records for update size
Not sure if that was something GOG specific, but basically had to download the whole game again. The official specs are that the patch is 30GB, but requires 130GB free disk space.
tuzemec··on macOS Sonoma is setting records for update size
To put things in perspective: the last update to Baldur's Gate 3 was ~100 GB (via GOG).
tuzemec··on Tinnitus linked to undetected auditory nerve damage
It sounds like mine is the same flavor. And it's getting worse in the last couple of years. I even did MRI scan at some point, but it didn't reveal anything.

Recently a neurologist recommend transcranial electrical stimulation. Seems that it helps in some cases. Have to look around if someone is performing that here.

tuzemec··on Stripe live dashboard
Managed to put my whole MBP on its knees. It took me around 7-8 minutes to close the tab.

Proceed with caution.

tuzemec··on Web components will outlive JavaScript frameworks
I kinda like this approach. You can change the combination of used APIs for different cases.

"Widget" that you provide for partners to put on their web pages? Of course you'll use shadow DOM, because you don't know the page context, surrounding styles, etc.

A component to share on different parts of your site - you can skip the shadow DOM, because you share common styles everywhere, and probably you want to inherit some of them.

AFAIK - also the browser version of Photoshop.
tuzemec··on Slack’s jarring new design – can you go back to the old one?
At least you can still switch between workspaces with cmd+1/2/3/4... But this is absurd design decision. Make it at least configurable...
tuzemec··on Touch Pianist
When I started taking piano lesions a few years ago, one of the first rules that my teacher established was: "No Moonlight Sonata" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My guess is that it resembles in a way playing "Smoke on the water" in a guitar shop.

tuzemec··on Cool Retro Terminal
Pretty cool! The reflections on the sides are a very nice touch.
tuzemec··on I made a smooth shadows generator
Another similar tool with the same source of inspiration (both are pretty cool):

tuzemec··on Sketch.systems
The fact that you can actually try the product without a registration is much appreciated.
tuzemec··on Sennheiser HD 555 to HD 595 Mod
For over-ears is good to decide if you want open or closed cans. That can make a huge difference, especially if you are going to use them even in slightly noisy environment.

I'm very happy with DT-1770 pro by Bayerdynamic for closed. And *extremely* happy with Focal Clear for open back.

I occasionally also mix on them.

tuzemec··on JavaScript state machines and statecharts
I've stumbled upon this post about building simple state machines [1] a while ago. I was working on a small game and it helped a lot with the "enemy' behavior.

tuzemec··on The Next Generation in Graphics, Part 1: Three Dimensions in Software
The player movement in Quake (and the Quake derived engines like Source) still feels the "right one" for me.

Not sure if I can put it to words, but to this day, moving around in any other engine based FPS just "doesn't feels right".

Or maybe it's just nostalgia...

tuzemec··on Facebook LLAMA is being openly distributed via torrents
Or with ads? The AI can suggest some brand of clothes or whatever. It can basically shape your habits. Scary stuff...

tuzemec··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
Trying Zustand for a mid-sized react project. So far pretty happy with it.
tuzemec··on My next Mac might be the last
Try alt-tab: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/

It allows easy switching between _windows_.

tuzemec··on Show HN: I built a site that lets users find playlists by songs they contain
Remember last.fm? If I remember correctly, it was able to show other profiles with similar music taste.
tuzemec··on Google cracks down on VPN based adblockers
My only problem with NextDNS is the youtube ads, but that's kinda unavoidable. Otherwise works flawlessly.
tuzemec··on Tell HN: AWS appears to be down again
Is that related to the current NPM status (https://status.npmjs.org/)?

There's still that sound in my head that the monkeys make when I'm in the dark... :|
