Question for the interwebs: What are people using these days for making blogs these days? I basically want to write it in something like markdown in my preferred text editor. But are people still using static blog generators much anymore?

So my hobby for the past few...err...well longer then I'd like to admit, has been making a card game. Codename: Sequence. And I got two copies of my first decks for play testing ready today. ^.^
Two stacks of printed and sleeved playing cards.

Message from claude: "The build succeeded, so your packages in dist/ are ready to use! The warning is cosmetic and won't affect package functionality." Because yes...I should always ignore warnings, they're just cosmetic....sigh. :(

`pip`, `poetry`, `venv`, `conda`, and `uv`....jesus Python, I thought Javascript had too many package managers.

So, I want to try my hand at making ramen, but all of this AI crap is making it difficult to find instructions. Does anyone have good advice/recipes?

Does anyone know how to run a Windows 365 Cloud PC on linux (ideally outside of a browser)? Or install this on linux? apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n1f8... Otherwise I'm going to have to install a VM just to run essentially an RDP client.

Wow, the latest version of nodejs (v24, released yesterday), finally has built in support for typescript enabled by default!

Sigh, I wish my SML markup language (github.com/LeifAndersen...) actually got _any_ amount of adoption. Its string interpolation is so much nicer.

Woot! My stock prediction model lives! (And afaict, is roughly 9% better than the next best prediction model, at least for this particular training set.)

Does anyone have any recommendation on what the most economical way to get GPUs for training/fine tuning LLMs are? I've been looking over nvidia comparison tables for a while now and I'm not coming up with a consistent answer.

After once again playing with Jupyter Notebooks, I'm reminded of how much I wish the visr.pl style of hybrid code took off instead. :/

My evening so far...
Playing the latest Master Duel event and just summoned all five pieces of Exodia using Soul Charge.

Related a lot to Arcane; the bottomsider vs topsider dynamics reflects my life rn. Pictured left: where I live, nicest place SG would allow an Indian to rent; the dirt is causing me rashes Pictured right: where I work; I have to go in and listen to my friends complain about how their broken saunas
Photo of the dingy entrance to my apartment in SG. It is the dingy back entrance to a shop. There are bins in front of the entrance and trash piled around. There are a variety of aircon exhausts above it, and it looks run down and old.Photo of the entrance to NUS school of computing COM3. It's a very bright picturesque day, the sun is shining. The buildings are very new and well maintained, there is a lot of greenery. The building curves and goes offscreen on the right.

Is it just me, or has Racket started taking a LONG time to start up on linux? (Like I started launching DrRacket before writing it and it still is only half way launched.)

WTF. I just found out JavaScript's toString method takes a number as a parameter. So quiz time, what does the following Javascript code evaluate to: > 5.0.toString(2) ?

God...I hate how Docker has: `run`, `start`, `up`, and `exec`. And all of theme mean slightly different things. At least it doesn't have `enter`...yet. :P

Well...my current employer just went on a bender and fired half the company. So here we are again, sigh, anyone looking for a (recently unemployed) compiler engineer?

Holy Shit, the steam deck comes with both podman and distrobox pre-installed. I'm starting to think the steam deck is a better fedora silverblue than fedora silverblue!

I swear every time I see the builder pattern, a little part of me dies inside. Like, can we _please_ get proper pattern matching in functions...

God….I really wish Rust’s macro system were more powerful. Frequently I find myself having to write code of the form: fn foo(self, arg: TypeID) { let arg = self.getType(TypeID); ... }
