Just read the most beautiful poem I have ever read and now I am crying in a parking lot rethinking my entire life and choices that have led up to this moment. Thank you for your kind words Joanna Macy

I have a swing in the backyard. It's a rope swing. It sits like a hanging chair. There are two of them. So when both of you come to visit me, you can sit in the swing beside me and we can gently rock as we talk — and we will talk — about the beautiful effervescence of life and how everything is always in motion and the sun is sinking in the light and the shadows are changing and we are like water flowing.

I connected Rocksky to my ListenBrainz and also connected ListenBrainz to my Navidrome so that when I listen to songs through my Navidrome TUI they automatically show up in my repo.

Navidrome music player interface showing album art on the left for "Journey to the Rabbit Moon Base" by WangleLine, featuring an anime-style illustration of a character with pink and purple neon colors. On the right, a queue of 18 songs is displayed in magenta text on black background, with the currently playing track "Kissing Ancaps" by WangleLine, Mit.Chi highlighted at the bottom. The player shows 0:34 elapsed time of 2:09 total duration.

Main panel displays settings: Theme set to Cappuccino Macchiato, Language set to English, Default View set to Recently Added, ReplayGain Mode set to Disabled.

Oh cool, I was called a "piece of garbage" from a "vomit-party" by the Neovim developer. I'm glad I started switching to Emacs... This is no way to treat your users. Specially so when they're calling out a literal white supremacist on your front page: github.com/neovim/neovi...

GitHub issue thread DHH #501 (Closed). Comment from aris-mav 19h ago: "#504 has been merged, so I guess the matter is more or less resolved" with 1 reaction. Comment from justinmk (Developer) 19h ago: "You all have embarrassed and shamed yourselves. Most of you aren't Neovim users, but a drive-by mob, swirling from one mindless vomit-party to another, like the pacific garbage patch." Issue closed as completed 19h ago by justinmk. Neovim locked as spam and limited conversation to collaborators 19h ago.

This is anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt but I've personally never been able to figure out how to install packages in Haskell. It's also the only PL I use with which I have to visit a flow-chart to decide how to even set up the project: nixos.wiki/wiki/File:Ha...

flow-chart describing how to choose how to setup a Haskell project:

I need nix tools (caching, reproducibility, packaging, ...):
- yes: I want reproducibility:
- yes: Cabal
- no: Stack
- no: Multiple sub-projects:
- yes: developPackage
- no: Complex project with heterogenous team:
- yes: shellFor
- no: haskell.nix

I practiced drawing some hands today, kinda proud of these last two. - 10 poses, 30s - 5 poses, 1m - 2 poses 5m - 1 pose, 10m - 1 pose, 25m

Open sketchbook showing two pages of rough pencil sketches. Left page contains loose gesture drawings of hands. In order from top to bottom and left to right: a fist pointing up, a fist pointed at the viewer, a sideways fist, a handon its side with its palming facing the viewer, and a large fist coming at the viewer. Right page features various anatomical studies below, including detailed drawings of hands. All sketches are done with a cheap BIC pen with loose, exploratory linework typical of figure drawing practice studies.

Open sketchbook showing two pages of pencil sketches. Left page contains loose gesture drawings of hands stirring a small cup with a spoon and a small hand with its palm facing away from the viewer with many thumbs drawn on it. Right page displays multiple hand studies in various positions and angles, including hands holding or manipulating objects, with more detailed shading on some sketches.

Two pages of pencil sketches showing hand studies from different angles. Left page depicts a closed fist viewed from above with detailed shading and line work showing the knuckles and fingers. Right page shows an open hand with fingers extended, drawn from a side angle with careful attention to the palm, fingers, and anatomical structure. Both sketches are preliminary drawings with construction lines visible.

This is exactly how vibe coding feels like: a fugue state

Dissociative fugue (/fjuːɡ/ FYOOG), previously referred to as a fugue state or psychogenic fugue, is a rare psychiatric condition characterized by reversible amnesia regarding one's identity, often accompanied by unexpected travel or wandering. In some cases, individuals may assume a new identity and be unable to recall personal information from before the onset of symptoms. It is classified as a mental and behavioral disorder and is variously categorized as a dissociative disorder, a conversion disorder, or a somatic symptom disorder. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), dissociative fugue is a subset of dissociative amnesia.

I was a bit shocked a couple months ago when reading "La Moral Social" by Betances and seeing how there were so many very sentences. To the point where sometimes he would just make a single sentence the paragraph.

“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

This is so CEO-brain-rotted; the state of programming has fallen to a new low... why are the things I build ""product""s? Can I not just build something for myself or for fun? Do I really have to monetize/put on my resumee everything that I do? We've forgotten how to appreciate the things we do.

From: Modern Engineering Values - https://cpojer.net/posts/modern-engineering-values/

Heading: Taste, Taste, Taste

Body: I have a low tolerance for bullshit, and with agents, everyone can generate a lot of bullshit all day long. Please just stop. Good taste is not just about building great products, it’s about what makes it worth spending your time on something in the first place. I recommend engineering teams to spend more time on figuring out what is worth spending time on.

LOL, people are starting to realize that you really just need product and sum types... Want exceptions in your language? Sum types... Want an error type or an optional type? That's a sum type.

The syntax of ASDL is comprised of 'types'. There are two kinds of types:

- Product Types;
- Sum Types;

This is one of the prettiest things I've seen in Mathematics in a while... Seems very similar to Dedekind cuts

Notation

In the context of surreal numbers, an ordered pair of sets of surreal numbers, L and R, which is written as (L, R) in many other mathematical contexts, is instead written { L | R } including the extra space adjacent to each brace. When L or R is explicitly described by its elements, the pair of braces that encloses the set of surreal elements is often omitted. When L or R is empty, it is often simply omitted. For example, instead of ({0, 1, 2}, {}), which is common notation in other contexts, we typically write { 0, 1, 2 | }, where 0, 1, and 2 are surreal numbers.

A sketchbook's page drawn with red ink of the following:

- directly below the square, a normal hand
- to the left of that hand, a hand making finger guns pointed directly at the camera
- to the left of that hand, a hand making a peace sign with the palm visible
- below that hand, a hand making a shape as if about to snap its fingers
- to the right of that hand, a right hand looking to the right with its middle finger lighty touching its thumb with all other fingers curled up, kind of like a chef's OK, but with the middle finger instead
- below the previous two hands, a pair of hands, the left hand is touching the base of the right hand with its two middle fingers, the index finger pointing straight up, the right hand is splayed slightly open.
