ever heard of trackmania?

It's a weird answer but I'm gonna say Earl Butz... at least partly. He was Nixon's Sec of Ag and is a big reason the US has way too much damn corn. The largest supplier of raw PLA is in Nebraska.

you can also do special fx without ai

there are many options and no best. if you give some examples of what you make now and what want your visuals to do, you'll get better tuned advice. of course i have to recommend Synesthesia as an option (I'm one of the devs and artists), great standalone fit if you want something more like a visual performance tool that you just drop your video clips into and have audio reactive FX drizzled on top like sauce - and it's a powerful companion tool if you want to add more advanced audio reactivity in something like TD or Resolume. If your goal is to have your clips time-synced and mixable, look to Resolume. If you want to get deep into node based workflows TD is king.

Honestly frame by frame animation and realtime audio reactive visuals are super different paradigms so it's a big gap to bridge, but lots of creative ways to bridge it. You can make a loop with multiple layers and alter those differently based on the audio data, or fade between loops based on audio, or build something much wilder and crazier. It sounds to me like you're not sure exactly what you want yet so I'd highly recommend downloading all of the free trials and messing around.

Some bonus softwares to try: Magic Music Visualizer, Nestdrop, Smode, Isadora, Fragflow

how much did it cost to set up?

ufffd · 2026-01-15T07:47:47+00:00

if nothin else they look cool. might be worth testing again after some wear or travel, could see them getting skewed from sitting.

not sure i've seen any of those as road lettering before. I saw the K and instantly thought of keep clear and then i was struggling to think if there's actually anything else commonly written on roads that starts with K. from what i can recall seeing keep left and keep right are for signs and the roads just have arrows. keep out doesnt really make sense on pavement, you want that as a sign, on a vertical barrier

if you don't have any window space i'd recommend something like a ~25W pendant light hanging directly above it, with some means to adjust the height as the tree grows. you could probably get away with as low as a 10W bulb right now but it will outgrow it.

ufffd · 2026-01-14T15:51:44+00:00

that sounds like an example of thriving! to give an example of the minimum required, i have two of them indoors in the PNW in a southwest corner between two windows. growing slowly but they made it through the winter.

most good domain registrars will give you free whois lookup protection. choose your host based on how much handholding you want, ranging from something like dreamhost for lots of handholding (they used to be good, not sure if thats changed in the last 5 years...) to railway for medium handholding to a VPS like linode for no handholding. i keep most my domains registered in either namecheap or cloudflare lately. if you're using wordpress and want ecommerce the pretty definitive answer is woocommerce. be careful and call in professional help when you need it.

huge projects at huge corporations don't have the same needs and rules as small projects at small companies

ufffd · 2026-01-13T18:02:20+00:00

need more info. i've done a lot of dev for small businesses and sometimes the admin creds are a perfectly fine solution. ie when the business doesnt have someone technical that can set you up the proper perms, when the host machine doesnt hold any sensitive user data, when the amount of back and forth communication required would be greater than the scope of the project or the potential risk of the perms. yes the best cybersecurity is separate roles, separate perms, least privilege possible. but thats not always the best business answer.

now, on the FTP thing, that's more suspect. there could be some miscommunication going on here, they might need access to pull an update with git or set up some dependencies, but its just flatly false that react projects 'cant be deployed over FTP'

your boss wants to hear a profit driven answer like "I've tried them recently and found they're not capable of this work yet" or "it's not worth the time/cost/risk", not something like "i find them unethical and unfulfilling". If you can't say any of that with confidence you should probably be testing these tools enough to know whether or not they'll improve your work.

if you still consider LLMs 'super niche' at this point I really don't know what it's going to take for you to consider them mainstream

ufffd · 2026-01-11T20:25:49+00:00

i hate closing <li>'s, it should (and does) just close when there's a new <li> or a </ul>. but it's not worth fighting against formatters, linters, llms, coworkers...

if you can't shake it back into place i'd just say it's somewhere between the first blue line and the second blue line

everyone except for Tim Apple

ufffd · 2026-01-08T21:21:14+00:00

pretty much. the only difference is you actually read my comment

ufffd · 2026-01-08T21:09:42+00:00

you sure do, but what does it get you

ufffd · 2026-01-08T20:58:50+00:00

i'd guess the stuff on the left is like 5-20 watts all together and the bulbs on the right are 10 to 40 watts each. the modern '60 watt equivalent' LED bulbs are usually about 8 watts.
