shout out to reqwest, but consider disabling the default feature "system-proxy". in my test suite my tests were taking upwards of 1s when making requests against a wiremock server. after a lot of tweaking, i found that removing the system-proxy feature brought the test run time from 1s -> 20ms.

maybe i don't understand the context here. but who could possibly be celebrating the existence of a 50 year mortgage unless they also celebrated this country's wealth chasm.

i just got cropdusted by my cat

manspreading on a flight should be a class a felony.

through work (yay employed) i know have a full all-access pass to the jetbrains app suite. rust rover is quite good.

i found the 10th circle of hell (airport starbucks). still — grateful.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

it has been a long time since i have flown and i am stunned by how good airplane wifi has become.

this doc on common rust lifetime misconceptiosn is eye-opening 🙇 github.com/pretzelhamme...

i bought a digital scale that has an app the other month, but am waiting to not be fat to start using it.

ahhhhh i finally have a usb-c iphone 🥳

For the last two covid shots, I've taken a Claritin right after the shot, and the difference in the intensity and the duration of the symptoms has been remarkable. I wasn't sure until after the second time doing this that it was a placebo. It still might be but probably not!

found the dang std::thread::sleep that was hitching up my app that i recently converted (but apparently missed this) to async rust. i wish there were a better way to detect this. i did spin up tokio console hoping to see stalled polls but it was infrequent enough that maybe it didn't register..

my roborock vacuum wasn't working great, so i emptied the dustbin for the first time in three months. i also turned it over and there were cat toys in the rollers, preventing them from moving at all 😂 totally understandable but it would have been cool for the robot to tell me things were sideways.

cross compiling a smallish rust release binary on aarch64 -> x86_64. good lord.

i got my flu and covid vaccines about four hours ago and i can already tell that tomorrow's gonna suck. love that it is working.

democrats should consider running on a platform of making tshirt tags either comfortable or easy to remove.

i'm basic

You can't say "peace out" at the Pentagon anymore. You have to say "war out"

You already know that dogs play poker. But did you know that cats play pool?

the pho i had this evening in atlanta was the best i can remember. i left the restaurant with fireworks going off in my head.

spent about 45 minutes tracking down why my app was logging 401 errors but the browser was not seeing the 401s. I was using Option::or_else(my_401_macro!(...))? 🤦 So the macro which returns a 401 after emitting a tracing log was always getting evaulated b/c I wasn't using a closure.

almost exactly lined up with when i sat down to play.

I posted this at some point!

my dead man's switch program is coming along nicely. added a react/axum web ui, google oauth, multi-tenancy, etc. i don't hack on it much, but when i do, it's fun.

i'm a shit guitar player and this new knowledge reinforces it but wow, so liberating to actually understand the intro measures to Take It Easy www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVN-...

wondering if any command strips have ever actually been removed

ok i've resolved to not fuck around this evening. i have been wanting to use this audio interface for a few days and today is the day.

i have somehow hurt or disrespected the atlanta area amazon delivery folks

This is awesome

“Your job is not to turn in completed assignments; it's to learn how to think.” Ted Chiang‘s succinct summary of the issue with using AI in education. I’m not a sports guy but the athlete metaphor he uses in this interview is pretty spot on.

I would actually wear a WWFRD bracelet. (Fred Rogers). He's like one of the few people that lives on, even in death, as an example of what we should strive to be like. I also appreciated the fact that he hung up his sweater jacket instead of tossing it on the couch like a heathen.

in the physical world this is known as the dvorak defense

@jimgaffigan.bsky.social heartbroken this isn't dead or cake

decided to write a dead man's switch service for myself, for the cats' sakes.

current status

realizing that the data objectively points to the fact that i'm the problem 😮‍💨

this little sweet demon.. it would be hard to love her more.

i must be blind to something. i've gotten a number of rejections lately in my job search that have been total surprises.

finally went to gleba #factorio .. what a fucking weird planet.

new cat tree just dropped. they don't know what it is yet, but they are getting there

Look at it

my wife left me for someone else a few months ago and sent me a text just now asking me if I had sent her a birthday card 🫠 like… what…

Heading into a three hour interview block. My interview prep has evolved as I've gone through this process. Current state of the art is to cover my body in talc powder and wear a black shirt to hide the copious sweating that seems to always occur.

I have another cat tree coming tomorrow. Can already tell it’s going to be a success.

I have to find some way of preventing the orange asshole from getting under the bed. Woke me up at 6am trying to burrow up through the bedsprings, and I never went back to sleep. Since then I have cleaned up five piles of vomit and it's not even 10m. I am struggling son.
