Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 29/09/2026I didn't specify the language at all, it went with C I think because of libgpod 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 29/09/2026None of the programs I tried for uploading worked, so I asked Claude to write me my own. I think it's because I wasn't running them as root, but still 240
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 24/09/2026got my (hopefully) last appointment with the bone docta coming up 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 22/09/2026what does pub(crate) mean in this context? the argument is only accessible in the current crate? 120
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 20/09/2026I think that my belief that leaving the window open will make some of the flies that have previous flown in through the window eventually leave is running afoul of the second law of thermodynamics 020
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 18/09/2026Pretty happy with these performance improvements, but there's still a long way to go 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 16/09/2026CDs are amazing... they cost $10, you keep the music forever, and sometimes they come with a fun little poster on the inside 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 15/09/2026Have been having so much fun lately collecting CDs. I bought a modded iPod off of ebay. 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 15/09/2026I've been using claude a lot more for a certain scheme-rs patchset since I have two broken fingers and getting the code to feel authentically my own is such a struggle that I may just hold off until my fingers completely heal 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 14/09/2026Being there during a heat wave doesn't help keep the magic alive that's for sure! 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 10/09/2026Forgot to add “no shade to OxCaml” before throwing shade at OxCaml 🤦 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 09/09/2026yes, “our age of bronze is collapsing“ is stupid, and maybe 90% of the dialog in The Odyssey is not great, but it can still be an amazing film and have stupid dialogue. Not every movie is my dinner with Andre 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 09/09/2026Somewhat related: probably the single largest factor on getting me back into compilers was seeing you on the internet talking about them! I've never thanked you for it, but I will here: it has had a profoundly positive impact on my life 150
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 03/09/2026Here it is, for free www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_nN...youtube.comCrydamoure Waves I (full album)YouTube video by Crydamoure 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 03/09/2026Waves is definitely the greatest french touch album (technically a compilation but whatever) of all time 100

Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 30/08/2026Using emacs with two broken fingers and only one ctrl key on the side of the hand with the broken fingers is an interesting challenge. Also I'm back from my backpacking trip... 130
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 10/08/2026I think it's pretty reasonable to dislike a lot of changes from 1 to 2, especially because I'd describe 1 as basically perfect, but I really like the new art style and how they fixed some mechanics in 2 (like the shopkeeper always having agro) 020
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 09/08/2026not super interesting for mine - values are values, which can be boxed if they’re mutable 000

Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 27/07/2026Saw a man with a patch on his backpack that said "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness", which is an interesting way of saying "I'm kind and strong" in a threatening manner, which doesn't strike me as a particular kind thing to do 260
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 24/07/2026Definitely true, but you could also definitely lodge this complaint about any era of dubbing, it's just survivorship bias and "vintage" being a much wider range of time than "now" is 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 24/07/2026Buying a DAP. Buying a dumphone. Deleting my social networking accounts (including this one, eventually). I will be free 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 24/07/2026The last thing I got claude to do was uninstall itself from my computer 110
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 23/07/2026The other thing about AI is that it has replaced something I like - programming - with something I don't like - mindlessly scrolling the web and fixing bad code 010
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 22/07/2026The other problem with AI is that over use makes me feel sick in the same way that staring at my phone all day does. 020
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 22/07/2026Honestly kind of sick of AI tools in some cases. When you approach sufficiently difficult problems, they just don't produce good code. You get lulled in because the easy and rote stuff is done so much quicker, but past a threshold they just waste time. 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 21/07/2026if people think the economy is bad now, just wait until that line starts going down 000
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 20/07/2026Rust isn’t good because it’s “memory safe,” it’s good because it was the peanut butter spoon that forced system programmers to finally learn functional programming concepts 050
Rondo Dondo @maplant.com · 20/07/2026News aggregators have become insanely boring. I don’t need to read comments. I’m going back to RSS. If you have a blog (or know of some interesting ones) please send them to me/comment them! 001
