Today is Friday, the 2239th of March, 2020.

I've been wanting someone to make a nice JavaScript version of Inglenook Sidings, and here one is: https://beaver.games/shunting/

This is a lovely little logic puzzle with thousands of possible variations.

@davidallengreen@mastodon.green Nice to see you here again.

I really wish I could compose branches in git. Like, give me a branch which is *dynamically* the effect of feature-brach-a plus feature-branch-b.

A fun puzzle for type designers. My brain filled in 1 and 3 automatically.

I keep thinking about camcorders. Imagine being a videographer for the first 10 or 20 years after camcorders went on sale. You'd go through the following thoughts:

"Everyone can make movies? This is going to kill my job."
"Haha, this is trash. My job is safe."
"Quality is getting better but it's still trash."
"It's trash but people are kind of happy with it? For recording memories and having fun it does what they need."
"OK, quality is actually getting decent, you could maybe shoot a pro movie on this. Worried about my job again."
"What is my job? Now that anyone can shoot videos, it's obvious that it's not just pointing a camera and making a movie. It's knowing light, angles, sound, timing. Both the camcorder, and my job, have their place."

Anyway, back to coding.

We really need a plan to decarbonise the world's energy infrastructure. Ideally by Tuesday.
