In this post I talk about my drawing app, retrosheet powered baseball API, lsp, and the magic power of unit tests.

Got the MVP of my drawing app done! Made this with Svelte, a little bit of rxjs and perfect-freehand! tangled.org/desertthunde... github.com/stormlightla...

fellow nerds that stopped using spotify, how do you scrobble/track your listening now?

Finally finished up the first draft on my latest dev log. I'd been feeling like I didn't do enough the past week and now I feel like maybe I should stay awake until 4am fine tuning UI and writing.

How many tags added to writing are too many? 8? 10?

it's not fair that snakes get to exist on land (snakes) and sea (eels) but not the air where are the snake birds tell us

I wrote a file browser backed by dexie which I think turned out pretty cool minus the lame emojis I'm using as icon placeholders

Trying to build a project to be a web (svelte) app and a Tauri app isn't easy!

A local first drawing app I'm working on with Svelte and Dexie. Needs some UX adjustments but starting to feel pretty good to use

Munetaka Murakami will donate $100 grocery gift certificates to 100 Chicago families served by the St. James Food Pantry who face food insecurity in order to help brightened their holiday gatherings, per White Sox.

I wanted to make one of three too! My top albums (of all time)

If you can’t handle me at my dumpster fire, you don’t deserve me at my Yule log burning

@fairygodmegan.bsky.social your book is something I wish I could read right now

This Github self-hosted change is not great. I've started using testcontainers a lot and wanted to run them on my home computers.

Do I host a radicle node or self host forgejo? Will be fun to experiment this weekend

I love Go's embed directive so much

Just added some MLB payroll data endpoints to the API after cleaning up an Excel file. Every level of this has been fun.

Bluesky might be the only place I'm not scared to share my work. I've been meaning to share some stuff on reddit and hackernews for weeks but kept freaking out.

Today, I added more serialization and deserialization utilities for my F# KDL parser, then worked on testing and deployment utilities for my baseball API.

RIP Toys R' US of A

I don't watch the news, I read it because it be looking wild

Bring back text only internet, clig.dev style

Whenever I build some momentum with FSharp it's all I want to write for hours

Maybe I posted that KDL write up 12 hours too early

I used Google's official recommendation to migrate playlists from Spotify to YouTube music to see how it compared to the CLI/web service I wrote. I think it did a good job!

how to super, man

An essay about parsing and lexing, and how some principles behind a KDL parser I wrote for this year's F# advent calendar. #kdl #fsharp #FsAdvent

Wrapping up my advent of #fsharp contribution for tomorrow. I'm gonna make banners for everything now

Feeling very discouraged today

Is this an anime about my early 20s or was I a live action adaptation of this anime?

Daily affirmation

I wonder how often I get screenshotted and made fun of online

This is exciting!!

I gotta figure out how to generate revenue for my work

If Github's search was just a teeny bit better, I think I'd never make a documentation site

In which I babble a little bit about a bunch of features I added to the baseball API (partitions, win probability, weather, negro league endpoints, and query optimizations via materialized views, a simple demo app). Today is devops/docker day.

In every new web project, I feel like I'm recreating curl with a different color scheme so I can be cool and type `app fetch /path` to smoke test stuff

everyone deserves respect & dignity & love & happiness.

After 10 minutes of exploration, I find myself wanting to migrate my digital garden from starlight to quartz.

He knows when you’ve been bad or good or a morally gray antihero-type figure.

Maybe I shouldn't post a 4000-word dev log

Okay, I have no idea how to share a REST API, but I wanted to show off some of what I've been doing today. Also worked on enriching some tables with existing weather data from Retrosheet and got the Negro Leagues endpoints done this morning. I moved the goal post to release a little bit today.

to rest my brain i've finished the least important part of writing documentation! A banner image with google fonts and an icon made in a simple editor

This is such a phenomenal interview by @quincy.bsky.social It's like an hour of kind and knowledgeable people talking about being a curious and good person

The Reiner murders are a reminder that addiction touches *everyone.* It is a disease that, unlike many others, does not care how wealthy or privileged or connected you are. It doesn’t care about your race or religion. It just takes and takes and takes. It’s an enemy we can all unify against.

Hard to concentrate when there's been nonstop roof work at my apartment complex today

I felt the same about a lot of Python's design decisions too while I've been working on my LSP.

I really can't believe how much work goes into retrosheet. When you build abstractions on top of things you really appreciate how much effort and care goes into projects like that.
