realtimecolors.com

Live testing color palettes and fonts for web design. Made by a designer who's really great, she runs a YouTube channel and made the site for free use by anyone.

How accurate are the palettes? Would we need to calibrate our monitors or does the site do that for you?

I doubt the site is able to calibrate to individual monitors, as there's almost no way for it to know what you have.

If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org

It's free and open source, and it's very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.

It doesn't display annoying ads.

All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org

The site's founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!

I'm honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.

Yeah, I feel like it's heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

  • I'm trying to think of how to quantify a "Have 0 debt" option but like, post mortgage or something.
  • Establish a friend group
  • Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
  • Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
  • See a historical human-made artifact in person
  • See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
  • Visit your country's capital
  • Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

56/74, little better now.

The have 0 debt one in your context would be like "pay off your mortgage" or for mortgage+ "pay off your mortgage early".

Maybe a "get sued for ethical reasons and win" (refused to allow a small business to defraud me, they tried to sue me and then backed off when they read my defense).

Have a humbling experience with a stranger.

Anytime I get new shoes I go to Ian's Shoelace Site to pick out a new lacing pattern.

And Ian's Secure Knot is a godsend for winter boots that usually have a bit thicker laces which come undone with a regular knot. Learning that knot is great because it's as strong as double knotting without needing to pick apart the knot afterwards.

That statement may be false, a simple explanation is that if you make a number out of π by removing all 9s it will keep the properties of π being infinite and non-repeating but never contain 9.

Yeah sorta. It's apparently an algorithm that can produce every possible page of text, given a number.

I needed Unicode symbols for a story I'm working on. (I want to use them as "magic runes" so I could type them into a document, but without using the standard "runes" that are typically used.)

Shape Catcher let me draw what I was looking for and then get a list of Unicode characters that matched that drawing. It's not exact so if there's no perfect Unicode match, it will give you ones that are close. This actually turned out to my benefit as I found shapes I hadn't considered but which worked nicely for my uses.

It's an organic community, small enough and long-lasting enough that it's easier to get to know people as people instead of as names on a screen you'll see once and likely never again. The admin team is similarly small and easy to talk to, not an algorithm or a faceless corporate enforcer. The mods are paid professionals funded largely by community donations. The site is also in the process of transitioning to a non-profit management, so less risk of selling out or enshittifying itself. I like the posting and commenting culture -- text-heavy, minimalist style, and a wide variety of topics often deeply researched and explored in lengthy posts by people passionate about the topic, rather than 24/7 outrage-bait headlines and viral videos. And the subsites are really fun -- I mentioned AskMeFi, but there's also a place to share one's music, personal projects, discuss media, organize meetups, etc. I also appreciate how the mods and guidelines take a strong stance against bigotry and microaggressions -- hate speech and spam are virtually unheard of. Very refreshing when the bigger platforms seem intent on pursuing growth at all costs and minimizing administrative overhead. Overall, a cozy, human-scale community that seems more and more like a throwback that we should be moving back to.

There was a pretty crazy stretch where he was releasing scripts before they were even produced. Like I got to read the actual screenplays for flicks like Intolerable Cruelty, Lost Highway (movie makes more sense as a screenplay, btw) and even Beavis and Butthead Do America before they even hit the theaters.

This was fairly cutting edge around 98 or 2002 when I first saw it. Really clean.

I recommend Ruffle for viewing Flash content in the modern day. It aims to be a full reimplementation of Flash in HTML5, available as a desktop app or browser extension. It's still in beta, so it can't play all flash files yet, but it works great for the vast majority (it seems to work for all the animations on that site). It even works on mobile.
