@gardiner_bryant (!var) but my eyesight is getting worse as I get older. For that reason I sometimes use == false and even == true in some extreme and rare cases.

@drovics @nosfe Too bad I couldn't come. :( I was too ill to drive to Helsinki and back. I hope you come again to Finland later.

PSA: If you're into generative art, *please* look at https://t.co/zthpPDv8td - such a wonderful site!

It has full PDFs of a generative art magazine that ran in the 1970's - some incredibly beautiful but unfortunately not well-known pieces inside.

Over a year ago I released "lqd", watch face for Gear S2/S3 with some minimalistic shader trickery. It even got few downloads because it somehow stood out. But nowadays watch face store is flooded with "noise apps" just like all other app stores.

And deeplink to the store if you have Samsung device: https://t.co/EKa3HBKsmk If you ask nicely, I might give you a coupon.
