pretty sure someone else has already thought about it, but couldn't we have something like colored functions for allocations instead of asynchronicity?

when we think about the availability of space, we think usually about it in terms of how it is mainly restricted horizontally but not vertically. interestingly this applies both in the micro (furniture) and macro (buildings) contexts

funny that people attribute verbose writing as an inert characteristic of LLMs writing style, while I'm doing since it middle school

love that he called computers "high technology"
Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

@are.na why don't u let us upload html files?!

We need URLs everywhere for everything, the way we have GPS and calendars for location and time. I want to send links to passages in PDFs and to specific moments in a song I’m listening to. Everything should be shareable

going insane because nothing I make visually feels like me

I think my answer to "why do you want to work here?" might boil down to "the work seems to require reading Man pages regularly"

Computers were never supposed to talk but now they do and we all have to figure out what that means, like wtf?!

Had a practical use case for Awk again, and it felt like using Cuneiform

Has been a bit less than two months since I started doing spaced repetition again, and I'm already at almost 1k new words?!

Reading about all the intricacies of Unicode is like crack for me

It’s interesting how emblematic and ubiquitous sound (and smell!) is in Futurist literature. Contrast this with today’s perception if modern technology progress where both of these are absent or if present at all rather perceived as negative externalities, but never as something to be in awe of

Me when I hack on my website that’s written in C
Locals want to make sure that they don't ever forget the production knowledge that goes into constructing the shrine.

I wish I could've seen the 2014 Futurist exhibition at the Guggenheim

The notion that all code should be self-explanatory and comments are generally a sign of code smell is so retarded

I've no data to back this up, but I'm pretty confident on average I'm for some reason I'm happier at night hours than during the day

Working in a other languages really let's you appreciate, for better or worse, the structure Rust gives you

Love it when a website fails to load CSS in time and you get a peek on it’s HTML stripped down

The way Javascript deals with numbers is just pure insanity

Clojure’s arg destructuring seems so unnecessary, especially considering that the language doesn’t have types

LLMs are kinda the more useful the more confined the interface we interact with them

I really dislike the term "coding"

Bluesky not showing the likes tab on other peoples profile, while being public data anyway, is performative at best and deceptive at worst

because of work I got back into doing spaced repetition again, and I see so many narrow use cases even in domains that don't seem a likely fit at first

love when a website is hosted via Apache and I can remove the last part of the URL, see the page directory and then continue exploring the site on my own

A recurring theme of lots of my thoughts around LLMs and their use in software engineering, is that their popularity points at least partially to the failure of our tools, our communities and lastly ourselves as engineers

I think people are right to say that technology is just what we make of it, but more and more, we are what it makes of us

I really regret not having kept a log when working through K&R. This could have been a great review of the book and the language itself
