New year, same me trying to fulfill old year's commitments.

It’s funny how phones have made clock towers obsolete. Like now I can just google images of clock towers whenever I want

One trig problem away from building the most unhinged ruler app

Accurate representation of making social commitments in your 30s

Just Salad:

Wait. Is the Fuji x100vi just Gen Z's version of the vintage Instagram filter?

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?"
Me: "That's the documentation deliverable."
Manager: "What's the status of that?"
Me: "We're halfway there"
Manager: "Why is progress so slow?"
Me: "You fired Tommy"
Manager: "So?"
Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

With Semicolons Version: (function() { var totalSeconds = 300; // 5 minutes in seconds; var timerElement = document.getElementById('timer'); function updateTimer() { var minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60); var seconds = totalSeconds % 60; if (seconds < 10) { seconds = "0" + seconds; } timerElement.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds; totalSeconds--; if (totalSeconds < 0) { clearInterval(intervalId); } }; updateTimer(); var intervalId = setInterval(updateTimer, 1000); })(); Without Semicolons Version: let duration = 5 * 60 // 5 minutes in seconds const timerDisplay = document.getElementById('timer') const interval = setInterval(() => { let minutes = Math.floor(duration / 60) let seconds = duration % 60 minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds timerDisplay.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds if (duration <= 0) { clearInterval(interval) timerDisplay.textContent = "Time's up!" } duration-- }, 1000)

Kind of interesting: I asked o3-mini to build a 5-minute timer web app twice, once with "use semicolons in your JavaScript" and "don't use unnecessary semicolons in your JavaScript"

Normal People:
