And done!

I said I’d do the thing today and it’s still today in Hawaii. I’m counting it.

@ajroach42 first time I’ve wanted to subscribe to a thread in a while.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I am kind of tired this morning.

hackers.town: 2024-10-10 Thu 09:26

@m It’s cool. I made coffee.

And then forgot I made coffee, for two hours.

Gonna move slow and careful today because I am “fire hazard” levels of disconnected.

Team, I am very disappointed to report that Zed is not a terrible editing experience. Even worse, its “alpha” level remote editing over SSH works just fine.

(haven’t tried the vi emulation yet because my muscle memory always breaks editors pretending to be Vim – usually right when I’m getting into the flow)

@earthshine That team held the real stars of the show. And I too was absolutely here for Blade.

hackers.town: 2024-10-10 Thu 11:41

@earthshine Always with caution, but yes!

@banjofox2 the idea was a sort of mock sad “oh no there is another cool tool that I want to use and follow instead of just ignoring,” because there are already many cool tools out there.

@m GAH!

Started listening to “ADHD isochronic” something or other, a four hour noise track meant to help me focus.

Got bored and quit in under a minute.

This is what my brain craves.

@lmorchard the irony is that I’ve never been fond of loud. Even now volume is two notches on the macOS slider.

Ironic because of the hearing loss that a careless observer might associate with my taste in sludgy, thrashy, and clangy music.

but i like quiet clang

soft sludge

thin thrash

@genehack yep there are AI and login widgets but hey I can’t read ant text so I didn’t even see them.

As a plain old sublime text style editor it was all right.

I got a meme beer — Pineapple Apple Pen from Mosaic Brewery —and a significant number.

@tinydoctor cheers! I hope yours is as enjoyable as mine was.

That might not be the blues, but it sure makes me sad.

I gotta do something about this tendency to vomit a month of code in a couple days.

First off, it puts a bit of load on whoever’s gotta review the PR.

Second, it still takes a month to write it. I just do all the typing at the end.

Half a dozen javelinas, just tearing it up out there.

Looks like we need bondage gear for our recycling, too. I am not gonna worry about it right now.

hackers.town: 2024-10-10 Thu 23:55

I told the javelinas (from behind a metal gate, mind you) that they were destructive little poops. They looked at me, then wandered over to investigate neighbor Daddy Trump’s open garage and illegally parked car.

I would’ve given them spray cans if I had any and thought they might figure out how to use them.

@genehack If there were they were spread out into squads. And this squad was pretty chill TBH.
