Today I learnt that Lua projects often use *3* spaces for indentation! https://github.com/luarocks/lua-style-guide/blob/master/README.md#indentation-and-formatting I initially thought something was very wrong with editor config.

Here's a weird UI pattern I haven't seen before. This sanitizer will keep things clean for 24 hours, so the time counts *down*. Every time I see it, it looks like 24 hour clock showing the wrong time!

Text to speech systems seem to have largely avoided the uncanny valley effect. I've encountered robotic sounding voices but it's way less unsettling than bad CGI. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe looking at faces is just way higher bandwidth so more things can go wrong?
