I do this.

I have a gaming PC connected to my living room TV, but sometimes I’m lazy and want to play games from my bed.

My solution is that my bedroom TV has a Steam Deck dock connected, so I take my wireless controller to the bedroom and stream the games there instead.

This wasn't an option for us because as an org we used their recommended hook (1) to automatically change node versions when switching directories, but it effectively undoes the lazy loading.

With mise you get the behaviour of automatically switching when you change directories effectively for free.

1. https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#zsh

Edit: unless you aliased it to `node` or `npm`, which would be fine I guess but super annoying if you ran node or npm commands often. It is not worth the hassle, no one should use nvm in 2026 imo

I think it’s much more than 80%, it’s probably the default recommendation and folks who aren’t technical would just accept it. Probably closer to 95% or more

It definitely doesn’t hold true for the average person, I was only thinking of the fittest today.

I’m not sure what it means if we want the average person to be fitter, it seems like we’d have to reinstitute manual labour if that was the goal.

Which is maybe a good analogy for not using AI in the classroom and forcing kids to use their minds

I think probably actually. The fittest people back then probably weren't as fit as people today with specialized diets and medical science, and surely those findings were a result of better equipment, which were a result of better tooling to manufacture that equipment.

Introducing a machine to a manufacturing role obviously makes the manufacturer less fit, but it enables society to break through fitness barriers in general

If your point is that it's not orders of magnitude fitter, that's a good one. I don't think people will be much more intelligent in the future than they are today but they'll probably just be more specialized and have deeper knowledge

Both sports betting and prediction markets are effectively the same as reading tea leaves anyway. You can determine the real odds in roulette or blackjack because those are closed games that have simple probabilities, but any odds given in sports betting or prediction markets are just fancy guesses

That code from your post is fairly standard image load handling, but the notable part is this line:

self.apng_supported = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, 1, 1).data[3] === 0;

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it's basically a "neat trick", like using ~~ for rounding or a fast inverse square root.

Is the intent that everyone who makes use of that trick is supposed to link back to your blog?
