Marci is being a cutie today ❤️🐈‍⬛ #cats #catsofbluesky

Meal prep day! Egg bytes with veggies and bacon, and red lentil soup with potatoes, mushrooms, and zucchini!

Spooky trying to sneak a bite of turkey. 🍗🐈‍⬛

You can walk away. Before the shame follows you home. #StopICE

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts). I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.

This is 100% accurate, and it kills me a little bit inside.

@gregcons.bsky.social has a lovely CppCon talk from… *checks YouTube* …ten years ago (god I feel old) that lays a great foundation for how to teach newcomers C++ by skipping all the warts from C and “legacy C++” (some big air quotes there) because those C-isms and older patterns are just bad C++.

I did not have original Guild Wars enhancements on my bingo card for this year, but I am genuinely so excited to see development effort coming into the game! I was planning on doing another full playthrough soon, so this is dropping at the perfect time! 🥳🎉 www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/news/a...

C++ is for little worms

How to Export and Rig an Old School RuneScape Character Model with Creator's Kit, Blender, and Mixamo: www.ashn.dev/blog/2025-11... A beginner-friendly tutorial on exporting and rigging an OSRS player character model for use in Blender and other 3D creation tools. #osrs #b3d

Oh hey I worked on this! Bonus fun fact: this feature accidentally ended up being really easy to implement due to completely unrelated work normalizing the behavior of VCL function calls. A great example how the right data structures and algorithms can allow your compiler to do more with less.

Loot from 500 Varlamore house keys on my arbitrary quest to loot 1000 houses on the UIM. 🔑🦴💍💰 #osrs #uim

since we’ll be heading into squash and sweet potato season soon, here’s a really tastey spice mix to enhance those veggies!!!! #spicemix #glutenfree #squash #potato #chicken #marceline

halloween is MY thanksgiving!!!! literally the best holiday. stay safe out there ghoulies 🥰🎃👻🧡🖤

Lovely visualizations from the SpiderMonkey team. Really beautiful representations of the compiler internals, and an excellent walkthrough of the layout algorithm! spidermonkey.dev/blog/2025/10...

The Mellifera Master Plan to Improve Performance and Portability: www.ashn.dev/blog/2025-10... The Python-based Mellifera reference interpreter is slow as hell and terrible to deploy outside of a Unix desktop environment. See the plan to fix those problems and more with an interpreter port to Go.

cohost.org is gone, but this post will never die:

Really neat blog post. I did not realize how easy it was to set up custom Syntax highlighting with Rouge, and I think the custom styling here is quite readable. Although I do not have the spoons to set up custom syntax highlighting on my blog right now, I am definitely bookmarking this for later!

I can confirm this is yummy af 🤤🍑🥣

Having a quiet morning with Cynthia. She is a good girlie

I'm not really superstitious about anything, except the computer, which must be restarted if it has been on too long, to cleanse it of bad or negative energies

This video demonstrates an interesting application of exhaustive search using the fisherman’s algorithm, otherwise known as 100% COD. As always, Tom 7 gives me psychic damage by being more productive on a random side project than I’ve been in my entire software development career. 👏

I’m porting the transpiler for my bespoke tag-based markup language used for my bespoke static site generator from Python to my own bespoke scripting language. I needed a better name for the markup language/transpiler, and I think NIHTML is the most accurate and descriptive name for the project.

Look at this dude absolutely chillin’

Bug

Behold my latest keyboard, the JuggleKeyboard! Just click the letters as they're juggled, it's an easy* way to type. * it's not easy

Guy who has only processed graph structures with depth-first search, encountering his second problem domain: Getting a lot of 'depth-first search' vibes from this…

Cynthia joining me for coffee downstairs this morning. I can’t tell if she is grumpy, eepy, or the led basement lights are just too bright for a morning cat.

GitHub please get this shit out of my issue tracker.

She wants the pumpkin spice latte 👀

I stumbled upon a nasty Sunder compiler bug today related Sunder's backend C code generation and the signedness of C's char datatype. 🧵👇

Made chunky potato soup last night so that I could get some nice pics for a recipe entry on my website. This absolute banger of a recipe is great for meal prepping and is one of my favorite dishes to autistically mono-eat. www.ashn.dev/recipes/main...

Working on adding @xeiaso.net style character dialogue boxes to my website. In order to make this work I ended up implementing a bespoke templating engine + language that turned out to be a worse version of XML (I am keeping it). 🤔

Made hobo packs tonight for friendscation dinner. We had a ton of extra rosemary, so I loaded up the foil packs and trays with the excess herbs and veggies. The smell was absolutely amazing coming out of the oven, and the burgers/portobellos turned out so yummy!

Found a video from a couple of years ago when I wrote a brainfuck implementation in Fastly VCL. Each tick of the interpreter was executed by making a GET request to the VCL service with the entire interpreter state encoded in the URL. Anyway, here is "hello world" in 1771 GET requests.

Adding a new "recipes" section to my personal website. First recipe to go up will be "hobo packs", my favorite recipe from a hand-prepared recipe box that my grandmother gifted to me as a Christmas present a few years ago. www.ashn.dev/recipes/main...
