I sometimes wonder how many megabytes of disk space are wasted for weird progress verbs in Claude Code. It just won't end.

I was hoping to get NSFilePresenter notifications in a detached Task in a CLI to work, but I just can't seem to react to anything. My hunch is that a RunLoop is required and I need to RunLoop.current.run() in the CLI. Let's see.

This is drils moment to shine.

WIRED magazine almost threatening me today

Reasonably sure Mastodon peeps like libraries and might like a peek at this wowzer I stepped into today. #dascdmx

PSA: you can't have a @​main struct in a main.swift file -- the file needs to have a different name to make the compiler error disappear

Man Costa Rica is on a roll

I'm at that stage of Swift 6 pilling where I get fussy warm feelings when I read ... : Sendable in a documentation

I just noticed my hypocrisy. Complaining about macOS Tahoe's style here, but zettelkasten.de has all the large round corners you can imagine

the empty icon composer document looks like ugly gradients in the early 2000s

I believe that @zenbrowser is supposed to clear my tabs from time to time like Arc did -- only it usually doesn't, for whatever reason, and when it does, it closes a lot of tabs, and then I'm sad that I lost so many of the pages I hoarded and never visited in the previous weeks. I'm not cut for […]

Doesn't look like #xcode 26 applies .editorconfig files, either What's the setting for if it doesn't work?

What the hell -- code signing for Windows is super expensive. Apple developer membership used to be a topic of ridicule.

Found the limits of Magit -- 15000 file changes make it painfully slow. Now just laggy. It hands for minutes.

Today, apparently, is a "Telekom router decides to not work" day. Losing internet connection every couple of minutes since 5:30am

The new iTerm broke a couple of window settings w.r.t. the hotkey window for me, that was a surprise

clang 17 shipping with Xcode 26 complains that it cannot resolve dependencies/look up headers that worked for 5 years I hate that stuff

#xcode 26 just needed me to enter a new GitHub access token. The authentication succeeds, but the "OK" button would not close the 'enter credentials' dialog -- it opened the token setup again. So I restart Xcode, of course, and now it works. Except it now […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It feels like 50% of the time someone posts a new package they whipped up on #emacs reddit, that the first question is: > How does this relate to <similar package that exists for 30 years>?

John Oliver hat 10 Minuten über #Bernd das #brot gemacht und erstaunliche charakterliche Übereinstimmungen festgestellt. 😂

Took me about 5 hours to work through, help proof-read, and provide feedback on the upcoming guide on #zettelkasten #atomicity by Sascha. Before I unload the context, I'll create notes for my own work, first. There's definitely some interesting and novel modeling of concepts in there for everyone.

Oh God the software the waiters are using https://bne.social/@james/115234195145047983

Dang, so treesitter is taking so long with my Emacs to open files 🤔

I'm curse. I cannot type the key between A an S on QWERTY anymore. New macOS upate, still this happens from time to time. It's annoying to say the least. Happy there are so many wors without the letter I cannot type

Noodle on Matrix being green, but the wrong kind of green, on bluray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPU-kXEhSgk I'm red/green color 'blind', so I don't get a lot of the problem :)

Got smacked down with a cold yesterday. Still not in the mood to do anything strenuous today. Not sure which part of life that applies to :)

Today, I get a lot of newsletter signup spam. This is the weirdest autoresponder so far. "Is it okay if I follow up again in 1810336066 months?." cc @fhe

https://christiantietze.de/posts/2025/processing-swift-concurrency-knowledge-with-zettelkasten/ Forgot to share this yesterday, it seems: I processed @mattiem 's recent article on introducing custom actors and documented the progress. What this work provided is necessary and sufficient […]

@mattiem from https://www.massicotte.org/actors > It can execute more than one request simultaneously, but it cannot do any other synchronous work concurrently, such as decoding responses. Can you help me unpack this? How's decoding responses 'synchronous work', but done 'concurrently'? Can't […]

The Smart Home automation I actually want is to know how much milk is left in the baby's bottle.

Does anyone have an `Observations` async sequence usage example already? I wonder if it's subtly different or essentially the same to manual observation tracking, but in for-await-in loops. The docs don't have any examples, yet.

"Hosting a WebSite on a Disposable Vape" https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/ Truly, we live in an age of absurdly wasteful wonders. (Although the vapes aren't running Android. Yet.)

Weird flex to create Mandelbrot ASCII art in SQL statements in the SQLite docs, but okay https://sqlite.org/lang_with.html

A financial independence and personal success fallacy, in a nutshell: "How many hours do I need to not interact with my baby child to become successful?"

Look who's there in a razor blade instruction manual #dogcow #Moof

Oh boy, new iCloud Terms and Conditions day! 🎉 Uhhhhh hmmmmm

Following the recommendation of @slackline started Mickey Petersons Mastering Emacs, finished the built-in basic tutorial was fun. Plus that's a dope intro #emacs #opensource #emacstutorial #masteringemacs

You Don’t Need to Remember Anything Meets LLM Fans https://christiantietze.de/posts/2025/09/you-dont-need-to-remember-anything-ai-fans/ The linked post from our Zettelkasten project page blew up on Hacker News yesterday. A chord was struck, it seems -- if you haven't already, you may want to […]

It's usable now! I still want to tweak it to deal better with certain types. Eg. tasks for contacts, files or URLs But I think this is almost ready for a 1.0 release. Up next for that purpose will be: - add app sections (eg. today, inbox, etc.) - add tags […] [Original post on friendship.quest]

Did I mention that since upgrading to Sequoia it takes >1s to visit files in Emacs? :(

Ages ago, I signed up for 'egun.de', an ebay clone focused on legal things you couldn't get on ebay, to browse decorative swords. Because I was a metal kid, of course. They send me birthday wishes every year with the most Windows 98 Outlook email template […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

@finestructure is it an opinionated choice to not make SPI results sortable by stars? Sometimes I forget the name of a popular package and sifting through results is a bit tedious, unless I know for many stars I need to filter; I'd rather get all results with the top starred ones first tbh

Sheesh, the Tahoe RC doesn't install in Parallels.

uhh this is awkward

Time to $ softwareupdate --download --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 26.0 I guess ... one week left #macos

I tried to have the trackball and mouse keys on the same half of the keyboard, but that didn't work well. The #zsa #vogager and #navigator default to have the mouse keys on the opposite hand reduces accidental mouse movement a lot and avoids weird finger gymnastics
