got out for a disc golf round on a perfect New England fall afternoon, and even managed to throw pretty well This course has ridiculous pars, so I shot a -14 which I'm happy with but is somehow not a superb round

Had a lovely round of disc golf (my new obsession) this morning at Ledgewood Pass. This was the most fun hole, a short one over a ravine, and i also saw this hoppy boy that let me get up close

@jauntywunderkind.bsky.social I wonder if they've reached a complexity plateau? Or if it's just not socially interesting to develop this, or what. It seems to me like there's been demand for it as long as I've been in computers, and we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas

Released version 1.4.0 of `mdriver`, my streaming markdown renderer, which now supports rendering mermaid diagrams to ascii. imo this is fun If image support is available and requested, it renders an image, and if not it tries to render an ascii diagram

to get the actual problem I encountered fixed, I'll need to wait for a deno release, and have to try to convince yet another maintainer to do yet another release with an upgraded deno version. Layers upon layers

Bill Mill @llimllib.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 30/05/2026

update: I filed an issue on `tokio-socks` explaining the problem, and the very kind maintainer fixed it and released a new version. Then I filed a PR on deno to upgrade the `tokio-socks` version, which will fix the problem I reported, and it's about to land. Open source can still work sometimes!

I bumped `git-ls` to 5.12.0 today, as I found a bug with double-listing deleted directories and fixed a performance issue. It turns out that `git status --ignored` recurses into ignored subdirectories, so if you have a large node_modules folder, it's very slow. To get around it, I added a `git […]
