@svencodes Hi Sven. Is there a bug tracker for sudokupad.app somewhere? My puzzles get corrupted on occasion. Today it lost much of the coloring, which is catastrophic.

Puzzle: https://sudokupad.app/h8znpkd7qs

Platform: Android, Firefox.

Report: Every cell was colored. When I reloaded the URL it restored a corrupted version, shown in the image below.

Edit: Never mind, I found it. I reported the issue there: https://github.com/SudokuPad/sudokupad-web-issues/issues/46

Folded some dried fruit and candied peel into the brioche dough to make a brioche-panettone.

It's a very easy recipe, especially if you have a dough mixer.

The Vault. Hidden in every cell. Its function unknown.

https://thebiologist.rsb.org.uk/biologist-features/unlocking-the-vault

Sounds like the plot of Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear. Opens when the cell is infected by a particular virus? Opening soon...?

Yesterday's sunset (or maybe the day before) was the earliest of the year here (Cambridge UK), so we can now enjoy having longer evenings going forwards. It feels more important than the winter solstice.

It amazes me that the Babybel cheese corporation haven't made a nativity-themed seasonal special pack yet. This is starting to look deliberate.

While it is good news that some rail services are being renationalized in the UK, I worry that the reasons are being lost, and thus any progress won't stick. Why is nationalizing sometimes good? In what situations does capitalism fail? The answer is externalities.

Train services are a great example: They are better nationalized because of the enormous (positive) externalities - there's an enormous social good from having affordable public transit.

By contrast, cars for example have enormous negative externalities: pollution, traffic, a barrier to social mobility, etc.

Billionaires and the right want us to believe that externalities don't exist, because then industries don't need regulating.

Real leadership isn't about doing the right thing, it's about persuading people why it's the right thing.

I started reading the storage instructions on the things in our cupboards. Big mistake! Now the soy sauces and the sweet chili sauces all have to live in the fridge because they say refrigerate after opening. Don't read yours! Don't do it.

I am loving Godot. It is MIT-licensed, under very active use and development, and allows effortless deployment to Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Web.

https://godotengine.org/

I would consider it for any kind of cross-platform development, not just games.

It supports Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D 12, OpenGL and WebGL (but successfully hides all that): https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/core_and_modules/internal_rendering_architecture.html

This shader shows the extent of your fovea on your visual field:

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dsXzM

"Look at any specific point and you should clearly see the extent of your fovea (the stars only seem to be rotating in a small circle at the center of your vision). Move your head back and forth to see it grow/shrink. Works better in full screen mode."

(You need to click the link, not look at the static image.)

A person said these exact words to me in a dream last night:

New series of The Devil's Hour, out on Prime. Still not marked as sci-fi.

Watch season 1 first though because the multiverse stuff is mind-bending. And ep 1 is... interleaved with it.

Whistler: I want peace on earth and good will toward man.

Bernard Abbott: Oh this is ridiculous.

Martin Bishop: He's serious.

Whistler: I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.

Bernard Abbott: We're the United States Government! We don't deal with that sort of thing.

Martin Bishop: You're just gonna have to try.

Bernard Abbott: All right, I'll see what I can do.

Whistler: Thank you very much. That's all I ask
