3̶d̶2y

i wish y’all some deep rest and joy with your loved ones these holidays. i’m signing off till 2025 catch you on the other side 👋

boy if i wasn't having an absolute dumpster fire of a year and my psyche rapidly collapsing in on itself, this github unwrapped would be unreal

Sam’s done it again! 👏 This piece made me (finally) clearly see the link between turing machines and assembly and if you only ~kind of~ get it, I think you should read it too ✨

this is why i think the distinction between compiler and transpiler is meaningless do people think processors run object code directly? (they do not; object code is further compiled to microcode on the fly under the hood)

maybe accepting some friction is not such a bad way to stay present in the things i do

capture one file management is an absolute mess

capture one's catalog is a sqlite database... 👀 i'm getting *ideas*

capture one update: i had to nuke my catalog of 30k pictures because c1 crashed on startup -- trying again with... smaller catalogs? ugh

capture one is *fast* but it crashes a lot. its like the bun.sh of photography tooling

It’s amazing to see our dream project, Fatebound, coming to life! 🤩💕 Still in early development, but we’re so excited to share more and can’t wait to get a playable demo ready. Join our discord! #UnrealEngine #GameDev

tiny vibe check of Fatebound, the game we’re building with my siblings ✨ @ottoostera.bsky.social & @noeskabar.bsky.social the look and feel is really coming together and we can’t wait for you to play it! 🤩 #gamedev #unrealengine

I love using computer science Techniques like currying

current mood: 1. locally archiving from adobe lightroom 2. into an icloud sync'd folder 3. and building a catalog in capture one basically lightroom is unusable lately (tons of UX bugs, crazy laggy), and adobe doesn't offer plans >1tb (I'm at ~1.5tb of photos!)

oooops

jesus war of the rohirrim was hilarious * the fuck is going on with the animation * the dialogues are so cliche, this could’ve been a marvel movie * zero character growth from basically anyone * cheapest plot line on the history of storytelling * unnecessary fan service idk i laughed a bunch

chatgpt voice hallucinations are a whole category of nightmares

what am i doing? oh i'm not doing an analysis of the resource growth / cost curves of Last War to explain why this game is fucking rigged to squeeze you dry

can’t say indie game dev without saying i die

fishman arc is deeeeep like 10,000 meters undersea

please add static types

you know what's *great*? MAGNETS

I just finished teaching my Functional Programming in OCaml course officially at Bloomberg for the first time to a full room of people! Teaching and explaining complex topics in accessible way is my passion. And I’m really happy I had an opportunity to do it at Bloomberg.

Super cool to see @dillonis.online sharing his story of development in more places. If you haven’t seen his Carolina Code Conference presentation, it’s an awesome watch as well! youtu.be/vyEWc0-kbkw?...

how it started how its going

hi i'm leo 👋 i make computers do things that are (i hope) worth doing, for fun and profit. i like devtools, actors, fp, and types i photograph people on the streets i stream to help keep the burnout at bay, now making a game with my siiblings, or playing music and i write about it

i made a lil thing curl termbin.com/4rtl &&pr -t2 <(awk -F: '{if($2>1704114000)print $0}'<~/.zsh_history|tee >(wc -l|sed 's/^/\t\t/;s/$/ Commands\n/' 1>&2)|LC_CTYPE=C cut -d';' -f2|sort|tee >(cut -d' ' -f1|uniq -c|awk '{$1=$1};1'|sort -n|tail -n5)|uniq -c|awk '{$1=$1};1'|sort -n|tail -n5)

twitch recaps are our! it was a fun year 🤩 here’s to 2025 kicking ass! 🚀 (and hopefully more consistent streams 🙈)

upside of this new water bottle is that i drink a lot of water downside of this new water bottle is that i drink A LOT of water 4L since 10am

hardly a better example of MISU* than adding a "temporary" variant to your type and having to comment "this will never occur" that's like exactly what happens when your types are too broad, its just made obvious due to exhaustive pattern matching * make illegal states unrepresentable

oh boy here we go

gm skyfam!

doing some research for Fatebound 👀 game dev is hard

ZSA Voyager usage update! * my right hand is tired and the reason why will shock you * 1445 deletions for 2 days of work? i think i'm not sucking at it so much! * the winners are Ctrl, W, C, J, K, Del, Shift

static types are basically post it notes in your code so you don’t have to remember stuff

what are your best hidden gem resources in static analysis / type checker implementations? 👀

i was once live streaming some coding and stepped aside to do one quick little thing, then forgot i was streaming for…*checks notes*…over 5 hours

food comma 😵 will continue tomorrow!

WE GO -> leostera.live

me: i could do these chores now also me: OR…i could NOT do them.. and then have more time to do nothing me: that tracks, lets do that

i dreamed i was explaining a system to a friend and my hand moved so slow that i could barely keep up with my own thoughts

preemptive scheduling is adhd for computer programs

the I (for impulsivity) in ADHD is hidden because you never see it coming

stupid me eating stupid amounts of stupid spicy food without thinking of the stupid consequences

I am begging you all, please do not ever create a `Types` module. This is never a good idea. Ever
