i've never read Baudrillard. i just know about the basic outline of his arguments from memes. i'm hoping that, however distorted it is by the time it reaches me, his essential point remains intact.

I rarely hear about #IPFS anymore. Seemed like a cool tech that maybe got co-opted by a bunch of the web3 stuff a few years back? Is it still an active project? Any good applications out there?

I've caught myself falling into what feels like over-reliance on LLMs multiple times and had to reverse course. It is pretty scary how quickly you can form a habit of turning off your brain

He’s decent. Shockingly progressive for that district, in fact

Yes, it is immediately becoming clear to me why every “vibe coded” app I’ve seen looks more or less exactly the same

Will be interesting to see how this property translates to other domains of software dev, but I can’t say I’m sold on this yet.

Claude produces extremely generic looking CSS by default, and the level of specificity I have to give it in order to get things looking the way I want is probably more work in the end than writing the CSS myself

Trying out “vibe coding” building a static site generator. I hate writing CSS so it seemed like a good thing to try it on. First impression is that it’s extremely annoying if you have a specific vision of what you want things to look like.

Crazy how you can listen to an album when it releases and be underwhelmed, then revisit it like 2 years later and be like wtf this is amazing

“Deleting” 18F is the exact opposite of what you’d do if what you want is government efficiency. The alternative is farming projects out to the likes of Deloitte/Accenture who will charge like $200/hr per new grad webdev they throw at a project.

The aggregate amount of compute resources wasted on JSON serde in general is likely staggering

george @danforth.dev · 27/01/2025
Also switched somewhat recently. The lack of counts was a bit jarring at first but I’ve come to like it. I feel it encourages me to listen to albums all the way through more, and discover deep cuts more often in the way I used to

I have never encountered a configuration language that is not complete hell to work with. Does any exist?

It’s kind of amazing how humanity collectively built the most comprehensive and accessible information repository of all time, and then a handful of people decided to let loose a bunch of broken robots to stochastically pollute it for no clear reason whatsoever

Isnt jOOQ also technically not an ORM? It has some ORM-like capabilities but the overall design embraces the relational model. Also, with jOOQ, your database schema is not driven by classes defined in application code as would be the case with an ORM (at least every one that I’ve ever used).

So if a database is deployed on k8s is it automatically excluded from this category?

The new SDL3 GPU API looks super nice. Very excited to be able to write compute shaders on macOS without using Metal. Looking forward to giving it a try

It’s a relatively small raise. VCs spread their money around on the off chance that one of their plays hits it big.

I’m 30 and Redis has been with me my entire career. These days I use it less in my job but often use it as a reference for a cleanly architected C codebase for networked services :)

Another sharp edge that I ran into recently: the standard technically allows repeated keys in objects (`{“a”:1,”a”:1}` is valid, e.g.), however almost no implementations allow this. Interestingly, the Postgres implementation does allow it in order to be able to serialize arbitrary SQL result sets

Neovim + rust-analyzer has worked great for me. I imagine rust-analyzer can be used within emacs as well for those who prefer it

Rewatched Annihilation yesterday. The soundtrack is so good, especially at the climax scene. Can’t think of many other movies that put music in the foreground like that to the point where it’s almost difficult to differentiate between soundtrack and sound effect

Donald Knuth on the rewards of computer programming
Computer programs are fun to write, and well-written computer programs are fun to read. One of life's greatest pleasures can be the composition of a computer program that you know will be a pleasure for other people to read, and for yourself to read.

Computer programs can also do useful work. One of life's greatest sources of satisfaction is the knowledge that something you have created is contributing to the progress or welfare of society.

Some people even get paid for writing computer programs! Programming can therefore be triply rewarding on aesthetic, humanitarian, and economic grounds.

The community note wrong lol. The for loop accurately solves the integral for f(x) = const. I’m sure there are other cases too

Working on a project involving 3D graphics recently has really pushed my intuitive understanding of linear algebra. Kind of funny that I feel way better at this stuff now than I did when I was studying physics and math in college
