A peaceful transition of power at Mastodon, huh. Now that’s something.

Was a bit suspicious of my 106MB uberjar size. Turns out I was shipping a lot of dev dependencies to prod! Trimmed it down to 56MB now, half of which is sqlite-jdbc, which includes native client builds for all existing platforms 🤷🏻‍♀️

The power of a production REPL is awesome indeed!

Ditched kamal and docker from my project, deploying a simple uberjar to a systemd service instead. Feels much simpler. https://github.com/apossiblespace/parts/commit/ac68687214e141fef2179577135721eed6ffc218

Using Nix so that your CI is exactly the same as your local dev environment is such a good experience ✨💅

Turns out #shadowcljs expects all dependencies to be at the root of node_modules, so pnpm's thing where it doesn't symlink transitive deps to node_modules breaks stuff. The solution is to put a .npmrc file in your project root that contains "shamefully-hoist=true" (lol) That's an hour of my […]

N., 3 years old: “I’m the rescue people, I’m the pet shop, and I’m your mum as well”

“Summon a human, clanker” is something I typed into an Amazon support chat today

Wow what a website! https://nicchan.me

Not that I need another programming language sidequest, but #gleam looks super fun: https://tour.gleam.run/

👏👏👏 I’m building my very first library these days (a replacement for react-flow to be used in Parts), and the feeling of sheer competence this gives me is pretty incredible. https://mastodon.online/@nikitonsky/115541760371024458

@phillmv’s dhh essay came up in a job interview today, and we spent like 10 minutes talking about it. I’m very happy to see it spreading!

TIL about lambdaisland's config and launchpad. Will be using this in my clojure projects going forward! https://toot.cat/@plexus/115536665145904523

Woke up this morning to 3yo chanting, “Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol, listen to the demons! Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol, listen to the demons!”

I think I'm finally old enough to enjoy Led Zeppelin??

I've been using Google Translate for ages to talk with my family in Taiwan, and just found out recently that @kagihq had their own translation service. It's much better! You can give it context, which is super helpful for my use case, and it will give you style tips. It's also helpfully free […]

Feels like a real missed opportunity. WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram all let you message yourself. And the “report spam” button is just *chef’s kiss*

The primal urge to strike a dual-wielding pose when picking up a chef’s knife and a paring knife 🔪

A walk with my son. #London #Camberwell #theDarkroom

Maybe the #photography folks on here will know: is there a way to separate raw and jpeg files when downloading them to the #ios#photographyPhotos app? I only ever need JPEGs on my phone, and I know the files are actually separate on the SD card. Why is it combining the two?

Minigraph progress: multiple selection and drag selection. https://github.com/apossiblespace/minigraph #clojure #clojurescript

Very grateful for everyone who’s reached out in response to this post. It’s invisible from the outside, but it’s become a thread of private mentions, each with really high quality opportunities I’m eager to explore. The power of this community is really amazing! 🙏 […]

What are the good transactional email services these days? It'd be nice to have a large-ish free tier, but it'd be even nicer if it's not owned by a sleazy big corp.

I added a blogroll sidebar to my blog. Wondering if this should be a separate page instead! I kind of want to add descriptions and so on, but also… I want to keep it simple. Also: not a huge fan of how it works on mobile, being pushed under the list of posts. https://gosha.net/blog

Hi fedi friends, as I'm about to wrap up my contract next month, I'm once again looking for work. I'm a full-stack engineer with 20+ years of experience, and I'd love to contribute to a stable, friendly team where I could work on hard problems, be they technical or organisational. The tech […]

Bring back BeOS style iconography

First trip as a family of four, to the New Forest national park. #theDarkroom

Chose a nice weekend for a trip down south

[nö sleep at all] Oh boy baby + toddler parenting sure is fun huh in this globalised capitalist society where you most definitely do not have a village to rely on ha ha ha ha good times yes

Ooh @fastmail has a desktop app now! But I got really used to just using it in the browser, so I think I'll be sticking to that. There's also a Beta app, apparently, but it's not clear what's different compared to the stable release. https://mastodon.social/@fastmail/115375214634975649

I started reading #nichijou (thanks @amdt for the recommendation!) and this is definitely My Kind of Thing. Plus all the SICP memes are starting to make sense.

Rediscovering Hermanos Gutiérrez. So good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duT62emRXIk #theStudio

So now that Apple has dropped the ball, who is the Guardian of the Holy Human Interface Guidelines? I wanna say Gnome, but surely no…?

What on earth? The window title got moved to the left in macOS 26?

Jujustsu is really cool but unfortunately as a French person I'm unable to read `jj` otherwise than as "jean-jacques"

Finished my first read of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou and wow, it's really unlike anything else I've read. So many feelings and questions (that are probably going to stay unanswered). A wonderful piece of art.

Oh boy. "A word on Omarchy" https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/a-word-on-omarchy/ (Also: awesome website!)

I made a thing called Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice. You get regular check-ins via email. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts get notified. Built it for anyone who might go missing and needs someone to notice […]

For all my complaints about macos 26, the update to the Music app has finally fixed the biggest gripe I had with its UI: in a narrow window width, the right toolbar no longer covers the track list. Yes, the bar is pretty low.

I can type in the #dvorak layout fairly comfortably now (I'm using it to write this), but I'm almost considering sticking to QWERTY, after all, for these reasons: * I'm using a couple others QWERTY based layouts (Russian/QWERTY, Japanese Kana) that don't have a Dvorak equivalent * I can't […]

One hundred rolls of #portra400 (3600 frames) will set you back almost 2000 euros, not counting processing costs. That's crazy bonkers. How do I get a sponsorship from Kodak?

Thinking about this old blog post a lot these days (incidentally, it’s only available in archive.org anymore because typepad shut down) https://web.archive.org/web/20250910074851/https://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2009/05/a-leica-year.html #aLeicaYear #theDarkroom

Yeah we noticed today

slack slips through the cracks, the great hive mind goes quiet coffee tastes like peace.

About syntax highlighting https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting/

Randomly got reminded of Densha Otoko today, and along with it of the great Sambomaster song 世界はそれを愛と呼ぶんだぜ. The early 2000s sure were a different time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izlKehxIEcA #theStudio

I've been making slow but steady progress learning #dvorak: I've now unlocked all the keys on keybr.com (with a speed target of 25 wpm). I still need to have the layout visible on screen, and I'm still much slower than with qwerty, but now I can already start […] [Original post on merveilles.town]

Looking forward to spending lunar new year in Taiwan for the first time this winter!
