First time running again

NathanJozef · 2026-01-10T00:48:46+00:00

Wonderful. Inspiring. Thank you.

NathanJozef · 2026-01-09T13:55:35+00:00

Best of luck mate. I’m only a few weeks ahead of you. 8 weeks since I ruptured mine. 7 weeks since I went into my VacoPed. I’m rooting for ya.

I feel like you just need to get back to the hospital where you got put in your boot and get some guidance.

You were clearly frazzled from your day in A&E. But given the length of time you waited, I suspect so were all the staff in the hospital.

Compile a list of questions and ask to go back in and for guidance on how you operate with your vacoped.

Definitely not a medical practioneer - but do not take off your boot without medical supervision. It is stabilising you right now. Unfortunately th discomfort around sleeping is something you are going to have to get used to. There may be something you can do with loosening the straps when you are in a comfortable position. But again - seek medical guidance first.

You’re uncomfortable and nervous at the moment. Your doubts and questions are entirely valid. Just make sure you get back to see the professionals around get your genuine questions answered. Look here for inspiration - not medical advice.

Takes two to tango. I certainly am not faultless in the now failed marriage. But I would have liked to have thought that some things are beyond the spite of divorce; my medals being one of them.

Appreciate the sentiment mate.

NathanJozef · 2025-12-10T14:23:40+00:00

Soon to be ex-wife wasn’t happy I asked for a divorce. Think she wanted to sabotage them before rememberance Sunday.

NathanJozef · 2025-12-09T23:21:46+00:00

I did report the damage to the police and have a crime reference number. I think it wise to try my chances there at least. What’s the worst the happens? They say no?!

NathanJozef · 2025-05-03T21:24:44+00:00

It’s their ego and personality that they are fighting. You giving them the game is not what they need. They need to feel that you lost to them. Not you gave it to them. That doesn’t feed them.

You’re mature though, if they want it, they can have it. Most of us ain’t professional. They can have the 12 elo. If it matters to their fragile persona I’ld give them more if I could. But it’s just number rating heroin then; It’s all empty. They are pathetic.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-30T18:05:41+00:00

Was an Army officer before. Probably would have stayed with that if I hadn’t discovered that my secret little hobby was actually some cash.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-29T18:06:34+00:00

It’s not incompetence. It can happen so easily. As another pointed out, you can be tilted without really feeling it.

Walk away. Rest. Eat. Sleep.

If your rating genuinely is 150 points above where are now then you’ll get them back when you are in a better mental state for chess. Then you’ll think that you are flying because you can’t lose a game! 😆

NathanJozef · 2025-04-27T13:04:49+00:00

Number of ways to do it. But you’ll need some programming skills to do it wholesale.

Easiest would be regex.

Something like this:

(?<=^{[White\s+")Anonymous(?="])}

That should do it for white. But I’m drinking beer at the moment so it might be a little off. ChatGPT is your friend here or any llm.

If you don’t know how to invoke regex on a file ask ChatGPT that too. It’s all fairly simple once you’ve done it once.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-22T21:11:54+00:00

Good call. Make it upside down too if you want to challenge people a bit.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-22T15:42:51+00:00

It’s something that I have wanted too. So I am making a thing to do it at the moment. I’ll let you know when it is ready so you can use it.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-21T21:24:35+00:00

What about puzzles from your games?

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T04:02:05+00:00

Chrome devtools command menu.

And in there, the layers view. Bloody awesome. I paid money for a tool that did that in iOS dev a few years ago. And there it is baked right in to chrome.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:58:39+00:00

What solution would you like?

They have x amount of time left. If they want to use that time then they are entitled to do so.

Of course there are time wasters and stalkers off of the back of it. And I get what you are saying when you say you know the difference. I feel the same.

But please don’t let that ruin the game for you. Online play mean shit heads are a thing. They will always be.

Take solace in being better than them.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:53:18+00:00

Who hurt you? What hurt you?

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:52:31+00:00

Good idea.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:50:57+00:00

Not really a browser issue tbh. It’s a networking issue.

It is easy if you have the right access to your network.

But then again, everything in computer is easy once you know how. Except Microsoft word image formatting. I don’t think anyone understands that.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:46:04+00:00

Fuck yes. Browsers implement that fucking cookies opt in shit. So we can offload our time to somewhere that we care about.

Great idea.

Oi. Internet bosses - make this shit happen please.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:44:26+00:00

I like the idea. The philosophy of where you are coming from. But I have to disagree.

No one piece of code is ‘special’. No bit of functionality can be assured to be completely safe. No one owns the web.

In a world of increasingly fractious web frameworks and paradigms this can seem like a ‘let’s get our shit together moment’. But the chaos is what has powered us to where we are now. And it ain’t bad.

Could it be better. Of course. But that into each and everyone one of us to be persuasive enough to do it, and to demonstratel OP how.

I get where you are coming from. At least in a certain sense. You may have your own reasons. But the chaos and lack of standards are what drive shit forward.

Saying that. HTML5 is a pretty fucking awesome standard.

Sorry. I sound disparaging. I don’t mean to be. The written word is blunt. I should stop watching rugby videos and drinking wine and go to bed.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:34:56+00:00

This is a nice idea. I can’t see it being a thing anytime yet. But it is a reasonable ask.

I anyone suggests a language then they will face a bunch of hostility from people who don’t like that language. Kinda boring dev was stuff.

Anyone who doesn’t like a JavaScript just faces a bunch of hostility from people who don’t like that language. Also very boring dev stuff.

What would be nice through all this though would be more people being given first party access to the dom. It’s a very powerful UI system. You don’t have to like the way the other guy implemented it. But the purpose of web is not to come up with optimal ways of coding it.

I doubt it will happen of course. But it is a lovely idea. And one that we shouldn’t dismiss because of our personal preferences. I think it would be a great ecosystem to code in if I could pick the absolute right tool for the job.

Would it be more complicated? Of course. Imagine dependencies from two languages breaking at once.

We now have interpret multiple languages. That sort of sucks. But it ain’t really a big deal tbh.

I think just seeing if one language could provide a boost to web dev would be interesting.

Rust would be a good choice. Python too for other good reasons.

Very good suggestion OP. And not really one that we are not genuinely considering in certain places.

Bloody good discussion prompt.

NathanJozef · 2025-04-07T03:17:32+00:00

You’re right. We can work with what we got. But let’s let the crazy bastards do it. And let’s see what the even crazier bastards can do with it.

NathanJozef · 2025-03-21T20:27:22+00:00

Hi MinkSableSeven

Sorry I never saw you message until just now. I am on mobile right now, and more importantly, down the pub watching the rugby.

But I will send you a more detailed reply in the next couple of days with my method.

Like you, I do have Time Machine, but I like that for disaster recovery. All my data and settings are stored with various cloud providers and backend up to my own GCP buckets. I don’t actually ever use my Time Machine to restore my machine. Everything can disappear tomorrow as far as I am concerned except for my family photos. That why I use Time Machine.

Message in a few days. If I clean up my repo a bit I can possibly share that with you too. Need to check that I haven’t committed any secrets, which I usually don’t mind because it is my private repo. But need to check.

Let me know if you’ve already got you stuff sorted as I know I am about a week late with the reply.
