I’ve only missed three days of drum practice this year. No idea if I can maintain this when the new kiddo comes. Focus. Prioritization.

I swear I've used an Erlang HTML DSL where you'd write effectively `{html, [...]}` tags are just atoms. Anyone know what this is? I can't find it anymore. #erlang

Had a really strong déjà vu moment today. It was enough to be unnerving. Not sure I’ve felt that weird with one in the past.

im sorry if this offends but i believe that you are in fact capable of learning new things, improving your skills, becoming a better person, and having a happier life than you currently do.

This is huge progress for me!

Switched to OTP 29 so I can use native records #erlang #excite

I tried npkill over the weekend but my root directory is named /node_modules. My computer stopped working, can you help me?

Am I insane? The typings in #erlang lists module don’t really make sense right? Fold has an AccIn/AccOut and most of them return term() explicitly.

Don’t mind me, just making a list of all the Erlang projects I want to do at 5 am.

Just had a super good drum session. Basic premise, let the time drive the notes. I was doing this clave based rhythm and switching between 1/4 and 1/8s on the hi hat with a metronome. If time drives, this should be easy.

Learned something about my drum set today. My bass drum was entirely too far away from my pedal. This is a lot easier now but obviously my timing is kind of wonky.

I wrote a blog post about how AI is stressing me out chiroptical.dev/posts/2026-0...

I am tempted to write a blog post about how AI is stressing me out but I feel like I can't say much more than has already been said.

Emmanuel Macron implies the existence of Emmanuel Templatehaskelln

Active projects: hauntstack, music monday, and marmot. How does one create time?

Working on hauntstack, test is failing which broadcasts a frame from a NIC to two other NICs connected by a switch. All transmission is asynchronous and **has travel time** so... if you try to immediately fetch the NIC buffers they are empty. HELL YEAH.

Finally motivated to work on hauntstack again. Hopefully I can finish learning and flooding today or tomorrow.

I am finding reviews to be so much more burdensome.

Oh no, I just found out Paiste has a cymbal called the Monad.

Just saw the French World Cup team drive by. Nice.

6/8 hat with 4 on the floor is going good. I can switch between focusing on the 4 and 6 (ie back beat falls on 3 or 4).

Hit me with one concept you really wish programmers cared more about. For me, boolean blindness.

Gosh I’m so dang close to this new Bembe beat. It’s 6/8 half time feel 1a+a+4a on the high hat. It’s really hard.

I was annoyed with all the metronome apps on the App Store so I just… made one. This is a M5Stack CoreS3.

It feels odd that we type gen_servers with a message type when they accept a ton of system messages. Do we **not** know all the system messages?

Are most #erlang people using elvis for linting?

Every time I read `Nothing -> pure Nothing` I die a little inside.

One day I’ll be smart enough to objectively know if this is a good choice for an interface. github.com/chiroptical/...

A good third of the CVEs I find are just `String.to_atom/1` calls in places where you wouldn't expect malicious input. Just remove them. Unless absolutely needed, never use them and if you do: never trust the input. #ElixirLang

Day 0 of jujutsu went pretty well! Need to explore workspaces and working with PR stacks. The desire to switch comes from frustration with graphite. Not sure who is to blame but I've been locked out of the CLI a few times due to billing and it is annoying.

It would be nice if `jj fix` had a `--check` option so I didn't need a separate tool for local dev and CI.

My jujutsu journey begins wish me luck.

I’ve been sleeping hard on Rivers of Nihil.

Not the most beautiful UX, but I now have data transmission between two network endpoints via a wire in hauntstack github.com/chiroptical/...

Do you ever think about date formats like 10/11/12?

I always get bit by `integer_to_binary/1` in #erlang. It is the **string** representation of the integer! For hauntstack, I was using `erlang:crc32/1` to compute the frame check sequence which is encoded `<<(erlang:crc32(~"...")):32>>.`

It has begun and it is fun github.com/chiroptical/.... If you have ideas or suggestions, I'm open to them.

A double espresso from Dunkin’ has 90 mg more caffeine than from Starbucks. I assume my home brew is closer to Starbucks because I was wired yesterday and couldn’t sleep.

I kind of want to build a networking stack now. I hate my brain.

My kiddo next to a dog about to take a photo Me: smile Kid: the dog can’t smile

#erlang is fun here because it looks like Prolog but is actually an ALGOL.

@bsky.app 2FA email uses a font which makes O look like 0.

Engagement bait

The fact that I can one shot GitHub actions with #erlang setup-beam is such a superpower.

I was just able to “go for a run”. The ankle saga improves!

Selling things about $100 is a pain. Either someone will say “here’s <a lot less> cash” like they are doing you a favor or “what’s your best price” like they have never negotiated before.

The amount of times I miss my passkey entry is annoying. I wish I could just click on my passkey and it said “Hey website, I have a passkey for you” and the website would just do the thing.
