popular movie reaction 

glass onion was quite good. it had certain weak points but the second segment of the film was very well done.

food 

i may have found all the (hopefully only two) pieces.

oh no a piece of uncooked pasta fell on the floor and shattered but the floors are wood and the lighting is kinda orange anyway

why do all the popular javascript frontend approaches to managing state seem so hostile to abstraction

unrelatedly why does leslie fish have such a thing for kipling anyway

programming 

imo js libraries should document unambiguously whether the methods they describe return values as supporting actually have to be invoked as methods on the return value or can be used as functions

surprisingly not even a we-don't-pay-attention-to-firefox-support bug. it happens on chrome too.

i think if your front-end JS framework's documentation website don't manage to respond to navigation by putting me at the top of the new page instead of whatever scroll-position i was at in the previous page, that is maybe an indication i should ignore your front-end JS framework.

kingdom hearts should have had musical numbers (simple and clean, love it as i do, doesn't count)

wait giancarlo esposito was in do the right thing??? huh. i guess he was a good deal younger at that time

reposted as public since lbr i assume of peeps who follow me only @Lady has the ability to meaningfully filter on "does this film fit lyssa's tastes?" and i'm not counting on anybody including her trying to do so for this rec request

soliciting movie recommendations as i am home alone for the next couple of days and want something to put on the telly in the background (and/or more attentively watch, we'll see)

criteria:

  • no christmas
  • mild preference for not in the past decade or perhaps even this century
  • stronger preference for not in the past like five years
  • not generally a fan of action films because i'm bad at following action scenes; willing to make exceptions for very good films or ones with especially comprehensible action scenes
  • english audio is kinda essential for the background-watching stuff but feel free to suggest films without it anyway
  • excellent or influential films and trashy drek both welcomed, mediocre stuff less appealing.


continuing yesterday's theme of cute little ways to put things out there on the web, i now suggest:

listography is a site that lets you make and share lists about yourself.

one of the people behind it, Lisa Nola, said about it: «Auto-biographical list-making is a pathway to rediscover memories, preserve stories, kickstart creative projects, visualize dreams, and keep a record of books, films, music, and all the other experiences that have transformed you.»

It's kind of an atypical approach to like, self-recording, self-processing, self-expression, whatever. But I think it's pretty charming. Maybe give it a try!

i would make a myself but i'm bad at feeling like i have anything to say

slightly disappointed that apparently we've already seen many posts tagged over here hehe

gonna pick up again with some fun little web self-publishing and similar recs.

today I suggest Zonelets!

Zonelets is a cute little (very little) engine, intended to let people easily make their own little zone, and make their little zone theirs. You can use it anywhere you can upload HTML and javascript files (for example, you can freely host your little zonelet on neocities, which the quickstart suggests as a good way to begin). It's HTML-based, but try not to let that scare you, you don't need to know much at all to post to your zonelet, really that's more a matter of allowing you to tinker with and customize it.

I linked the quick start guide, but do check out the home page and home page (and maybe the FAQ if you're actually gonna use it hehe), too!

Zonelets was made by Marina Kittaka, whom you may know from the indie adventure games Anodyne, Anodyne 2: Return to Dust, Even the Ocean, and Sephonie that she and Melos Han-Tani made. Also from some stuff she did on her own but I'm not as familiar with it ;

i forget, are there keyboard shortcuts on masto

me molesta la palabra del día de hoy

es un nombre propio!! también no me interesan los deportes

not that lots of extremely ubiquitous social phenomena aren't very bad. just, like, if it's bad it's not because it's phrased in the terminology of fandom.
