The dog is not allowed in the kitchen (in general a rule with very poor enforcement) but he’s very determined to test our border security.

Monday morning mood.

the Seattle Seahawks had enough points to win the game last night before either team's quarterback touched the ball

formats over apps

As a Seahawks fan I'm obviously happy with the score, but damn, it's hard not to feel bad for the 49ers at this point. So many injuries.

After 5 1.5-2h Padel sessions in 8 days I really had to force myself to go to the gym today to lift. Glad I did but damn, I’m beat now. The joys of getting older 😂

If you want to try out Chinese anime (动画, dònghuà) you could do a lot worse than 浪浪山小妖怪 (Làng làng shān xiǎo yāo guài, engl. title Nobody). It’s a fun take on 西遊記 (Xīyóu Jì, engl. The Journey to the West) and the highest-grossing Chinese 2d animation to date. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36733027/

Played about 2.5h of “Where Winds Meets” this morning. Really decent F2P Wuxia action RPG. I think one could potentially sink many hours into this. #gaming

Occasionally, people new to #gleam get confused by the `use` expression. During a recent Discord discussion, I created a color-coded graphic that helped clarify it for one user. I thought I'd share it here as well—it might help others too. https://tour.gleam.run/advanced-features/use/

If, like me, you have fond memories of certain Capcom arcade games, I can highly recommend "The Book of CP-System" by Fabien Sanglard. https://fabiensanglard.net/cpsb/ Clearly a labor of love, full of (technical) details, screenshots, old promotional materials, etc. #RetroComputing #games

I just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 about an hour ago. Great game overall, though IMO it starts to drag a bit towards the end. Still a well-deserved GOTY winner in year with some strong contenders.

Exciting new #music discovery, Chanpan from NYC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOsCTS3vy-I

Just watched a movie where someone mentioned Oxyacetylene, which instantly took me back to an Industrial song that came out in 1995 when I was 16, and now I have to share it. https://song.link/https://open.spotify.com/track/7FnHTYuvsUi0jd7UlpzJYm?si=b8e28f3302b444b6 #music

I like this quote in "From Zero to QED":

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

I didn't have time this year to make a musical advent calendar thread or similar, so as my Christmas present to you, here's one of my favorite mashups of all time: BB King's The Thrill is Gone vs Wu Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2EyTZfbIco #music

Oh boy, after waiting way too long I finally started using Typst: https://github.com/typst/typst I don't think I'm ever gonna write LaTeX again.

One underrated — at least IMO — tmux feature are popups. For example, I have `Ctrl-a g` mapped to open a `gitu` [1] popup with a 90% window size. Once I'm done, the popup will just automatically close and I'm back at my regular terminal window.

If you use #vim or #neovim as your #git commit editor, you can automatically put it in insert mode by setting `core.editor` or the `GIT_CONFIG` environment variable to `vim +startinsert!`.

Most times I try to use an LLM for coding, the experience can be summed up as "Old man yells at Claude".

I’m increasingly reaching the conclusion that all Lovecraftian horror is a workplace metaphor. Cosmic dread: ✅ Forbidden knowledge: ✅ Indescribable horrors: ✅ Human irrelevance: ✅

Interesting new experimental build system for #ocaml from one of Dune's core developers: https://www.alicecaml.org/about/

Pet peeve: companies describing themselves as “a family”? What are you trying to say here? You’re dysfunctional and bad at talking to each other?

One of my more obscure musical obsessions is the Bashkir-language group Ay Yola, from Bashkortostan, Russia. I saw them live in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and they are amazing. https://song.link/https://open.spotify.com/track/6g1wT5JktYiHe8AytW6MTG?si=47c7cc4a61194691 #music

🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people. 🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event! 💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

Huh, I was so used to always using Jane Street's Base when writing #ocaml that I haven't looked at the stdlib in a very long time. Turns out it's pretty usable now. Just updated some code and it wasn't that much effort, especially thanks to the ListLabels module. Good to keep in mind going forward.

I’m currently halfway through season 3 of my #Babylon5 rewatch. A fascist president using a paramilitary organization and xenophobia to become dictator is not that different from watching the news though. This was supposed to be entertaining ☹️

Consistently being able to quickly output an image in the terminal turns out to be a major headache for people who use different terminal emulators on different systems. This zsh function is my current best attempt (code in alt text). #terminal #productivity
