Wow. Thank you.

New comment by iku in ""Stick" – A primitive/fun interactive demo of a tiny rig to animate layout"

I have no idea what this is about. I see no stick figure or anything interactive, when I open this on my iPhone. I’d does say Idle below the reset button though. To make things worse, if you scroll down, you can’t scroll back to page top. I assume the main area intercepts the touch events, blocking scrolling…

i think, after shooting, it has to recharge. When recharged, the ship momentarily blink-expands in yellow. This means it is ready to fire again.

But sometimes, i been left without a recharge, and without shooting, and I don't know why.

I have used a version of this called Qvwm, and even had branched it off at some point to fix some bugs... https://ahinea.com/en/tech/qvwm/ (I don't think github existed at the time or maybe I didn't know about it.)

P.S. Oh, there is the official Qvwm page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qvwm/files/qvwm/

Thanks a lot. Both the post itself and the comments are very useful. I'd like to comment on the content of this post, but it'll take much time for me to wrap my head around.

In the mean time: the images in the article seem to be broken — produce 404 errors. Like this one: https://david.coffee/targets-config-screen.png

When I read the title, I was curious: is it about a business setting, or, maybe, about a private relationship / marriage context? As someone, who has walked away from more than one relationship, I see this perfectly applicable and sensible advice in both contexts, really. Thanks.

Very much appreciated the essay. The abstract / meaning / story component of many current-day products (value propositions) these days is unbelievable. I’d like to understand it better.

Basically, if you want to create a successful product, you have to offer some kind of relatable and attractive story for people to buy. And it is not the same thing as producing a good product per se. I’m struggling with that. And see great many people around struggling too.

New comment by iku in "Google can now read your WhatsApp messages"

iku — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 22:13:22 +0000

Sorry, but this title sounds overly click-baity to me. Google definitely can’t read or write my WhatsApp messages. Because I’m not using an Android/Google phone with WhatsApp on it. Although I am using both Gemini and WhatsApp, the whole article doesn’t apply to me, and surely I’m not unique in this.

New comment by iku in "Is budgeting just therapy but for money"

iku — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 19:38:27 +0000

Brief, but to the point. Thanks for posting.

I have tons of therapy experience (as a client) and value it. My budgeting could be way better, and I do see the parallel there, actually.

I'm running it right now, and haven't yet seen a single resulting artwork, but looking at the examples, I immediately hate the typical UI hotspots, like the top left (or top right) corner, toolbars on the left and such. I'd process the captured mouse coordinates and add a steady rotation to them (when the mouse is in motion), thus turning the art into a more abstract square (or circle, if you wish) form. Somewhat like the polar coordinates graphs, some of which are really cool.

macOs: “IOGraph.app” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

Had to go into the Settings -> Security and confirm with my password to run it anyway.

No. I mean that compassion grows out of recognizing yourself in suffering of the other. Suffering is humane, part of our nature. If/when I have compassion to myself (maybe, to my past self, for example), I can be truly compassionate to the other.

iku — Sat, 22 Jun 2024 17:43:47 +0000

Thanks a lot.

My take on the subject: Intelligence without compassion is, basically, hell. Compassion to others that is not rooted in compassion to oneself is shallow and will not last.

New comment by iku in "You can't optimize for rest (2021)"

iku — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 19:03:11 +0000

Apalled to see to many people in the comments not getting the point of the article. You can't optimize because optimizing (for whatever) is an effort, not rest; it undermines the point of rest. It points to the deeply engrained way we (humans, collectively) think, as if rest (or inner peace, or relaxation) was a project, a goal to achieve, or at least a to do item.

Looks very nice. Seems like a good fit, potentially, for structuring some complex systems' code.

Thanks for sharing it.
