If I ever put a television in my shop, it would show things like this: https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/77881191-78da-448b-9bfb-6610af469710
Had an uneventful court thing this morning. Nobody can explain why I was ordered to show up for it in the first place but nobody involved in that screw up is going to be held accountable either.
I think they're trolling for fines because if you just raised property taxes a rich person might accidentally pay that and that's unacceptable in America.
I want to do this first as a stand alone thing first because that'll let me release sooner, but also because a tool like this is generally useful beyond just Typica. I want this to be usable for people who still do paper logging and I'm open to interop with non-Typica logging software.
The alternatives in use elsewhere are linear splines and Bézier curves. Bézier curves are too difficult to use and too easy to screw up. Linear splines are easy to use but unrealistic at the joints. Relaxed cubic splines are just as easy to use as linear splines but produce a more realistic plan by default.
It looks like today I can spend some more time working on a roast plan design program I've been trying to make usable by non-programmers. The bits that I've already written were used to create things like this or the animated graphs in recent videos. The same code will eventually also get merged into Typica. A key differentiating feature is the ability to interpolate/extrapolate with relaxed cubic splines (no need to mess with control points that aren't on the curve).
personal log stardate 96907.19 i continue to complain about enterprise
@violet @Taweret Don’t blame Riker too much. “NX-01” is a holoadventure series where the main player is supposed to play one of the bridge crew of a fictional ship and resolve the heavy-handed moral dilemmas by convincing the rest of the crew to do the right thing.
Enterprise is what happens when the main player decides to be the chef instead and just lets the program run with no one to stop the holocharacters from being horrible.
If enough donations come in that I can afford to take a few months mostly away from the shop to focus on Typica development, most of the work that needs to get done could be done from home and the cat would be happy to sit next to me while I work on that. https://typica.us/
