I'm a bit of an eclectic mess ๐Ÿ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

I talked yesterday about trying to decide whether we should give up on our 1000+ day streak on DuoLingo because stories were no longer fun (and DuoLingo seemed to be actually discouraging you from doing stories only ....)

We talked it over and decided that we weren't going to stick with it just for the sake of maintaining a streak ๐Ÿ˜› So yesterday we switched over to reading comics in French and Spanish (on alternate days). It feels a lot more fun and I'm looking forward to today's reading ...

At this point, โ€œThe Last of Usโ€ is the TV show I anticipate the most. Maybe thatโ€™s not saying much, but still โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜›

Without spoiling anything, I love how theyโ€™ve portrayed zombies and want to learn more about the world with each episode.

We are huge fans of Naughty Dog games given that we played through all of the โ€œUnchartedโ€ games and โ€œThe Lost Legacyโ€ too as fast as we could โ€ฆ and loved the story of โ€œUncharted 4โ€ to bits.

But I didnโ€™t know if weโ€™d like โ€œThe Last of Usโ€ since we kind of shy away from killing games and based on the premise, thatโ€™s what it sounded like โ€ฆ Now, after starting the TV show, Iโ€™m wondering if we should go back and play the game too โ€ฆ Also, thereโ€™s apparently a remake and so maybe it really is time to try it?

Ugh, looks as if thereโ€™s a bug in my Mastonaut fork and instead of replying to multiple posts, Iโ€™ve been editing one post of mine โ€ฆ I hate bugs like that .. Now I donโ€™t even know where to begin unraveling the mess Iโ€™ve created for myself ๐Ÿ˜•

I donโ€™t have much of a network on here, but hi, hello, Iโ€™m an experienced front-end web developer and web accessibility specialist located in the US and I am looking for remote work!

Iโ€™ve extensively used React, am familiar with Vue and a handful of other front-end frameworks, and can learn just about any front-end stack. My happy place is building things that make the web easier for users.

Underappreciated skill of the day:

Keeping your mouth shut when it's not going to help.

This skill is not easy to learn, and I've personally found it practically impossible to master.

I'm looking for a remote job. I'm based in Sรฃo Paulo/Brazil, and had titles such as ("software design dynamics facilitator" as I liked to describe it) at a Brazilian Fintech, for the developer experience team at an EdTech startup, and more recently at a cyber security company. I've been working since the 2000s with , and I'm interested in , and systems.

When I was about ten, I noticed an infrared sensor in our VCR and became convinced that it was a hidden camera that my parents were using to spy on me.

I wasnโ€™t a bad kid so I wasnโ€™t worried, but I convinced myself that if I sang and danced for the camera, my parents would FINALLY see my talent and help me get on Star Search.

For the next month, I did super weird performances in front of that VCR until I finally acknowledged that they hadnโ€™t provided any feedback on my skillz, at which point I determined that the only logical conclusion was that the camera wasnโ€™t working, so Iโ€ฆ

DISMANTLED THE VCR to examine the camera.

Once everything was opened up and pulled apart, I realized I had no idea what I was looking at so I just screwed everything back together with a bunch of loose, rattling parts inside.

About a week later, I remember watching my dad trying to play a VHS tape to no avail and silently thinking โ€œthis is YOUR fault for not seeing my full POTENTIAL, daaaaad!โ€

This particular #StableDiffusion prompt based on Terry Pratchett novel titles was in the works for a few days โ€” I just wasn't sure about the results since most of them were fairly similar ...

The prompt? "Wintersmith"

Predictably, most of the results were people in winter-wear. I just didn't like the monotony and hence the inclusion of the fox from what looks like the cover of a box of pencils ๐Ÿ˜›

And thatโ€™s a wrap on the start of a new week of paper reading after moving to a new server ๐Ÿ™‚

I posted 8 papers out of a total of 51 new and updated papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today.

I must say that the ability to post more than 500 characters on the new server is a huge help since now I donโ€™t have to spend a lot of time cutting down my summary to fit within 500 characters ๐Ÿ˜›
