@robdaemon I’ve offloaded this area of networking completely to Tailscale at this point.

One of the most delightful things about watching Sohla and Ham cook on the NYT Cooking channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7iNcYc7Joo) is seeing their teamwork in action, from meal concept and design to actual implementation. The pre-cooking vibes really reminds me of the best pair programming partners I’ve had.

Finally got bit by ripgrep not searching hidden files by default to change that default setting: https://git.kejadlen.dev/alpha/dotfiles/commit/143377611d6f6a6d8a70b9efb658a9ac426d3e45

Now thinking about creating a movement to promote "hobbit software". Pretty chill, keeps to itself, tends to its databases, hangs out with other hobbit software at the pub, broadly unbothered by the scheming of the wizards and the orcs, oblivious to the rise and fall of software empires around them.

Oh, the Electron empire is going to war with the Reacts? Sounds ghastly, sorry to hear that. Me and the lads are off to the pub to run some cronjobs, wanna come along?

Tradle is getting harder

@juliaferraioli Sorry to hear about the harassment, but glad that you’re taking care of yourself. 💜

@robdaemon It’s an input for sure, but I think a relatively minor one, since it’s not unlikely for people to be unaware of Brave outside of the claims proponents make.

RIP Eight Row: https://seattle.eater.com/2024/7/10/24195827/why-eight-row-green-lake-restuarant-closed

Loved having this restaurant just a couple blocks away. Didn’t get to eat here nearly often enough.

Also good(man):

Something that I think a lot of people struggle to internalize, to really feel subjectively, is that a lot of what people did in the past is still present.

People grow up hearing about all sorts of things that people did in history and experience it as *exotic* and *archaic.* ie, “witch hunts” belong to a distant, superstitious, paranoid past, until you hear about some guy shooting up a pizzeria in Washington, DC because he heard Hilary Clinton was drinking the blood of infants to power her occult rituals.

Anyway, I give you the pharaoh and his tomb filled with treasures to accompany him into the afterlife:

On the note of measurement theory one thing that drives me UP the wall in software: please know that an imperfect measure consistently applied is usually a source of more accurate information than a consistently shifting measure that may be considered "better" at a single point in time. If your goal is to make comparisons you sure as hell better be maximizing for making comparisons

What a perfect set of authors for this paper.

Someone complained that the xkcd Dependency comic is unrealistic because it only shows one critical dependency you've never heard of.

However, it all makes sense once you realize it's actually a fractal:

@ratkins Better or worse than Mastodon’s?

I’m not particularly fond of Go, but this is a neat approach to OSS maintenance out of that ecosystem: https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/geomys

One of the biggest security expertise redpills is this is unironically a good idea and the time spent making fun of it was ill-advised for most users whose physical security threat is not a factor in comparison.

This list of authors mentioned in crossword puzzles is pretty surprising to me: https://bookriot.com/authors-in-crossword-puzzles/

I wonder what this would look like looking at just NYTXW in the past decade.

@b0rk I remember running into this when looking into why zellij wouldn’t work when binding Ctrl+J! It was kind of annoying to dig through all the layers of abstraction between the app and the libraries doing TTY things.
