I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
Daily notes that won’t necessarily happen every day. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
Those skills you built trying to integrate the latest buzzword with your ad management platform? Then cleaning out issues bubbling up in code that predated the buzzword by a decade or more? Those are useful.
Not the code, dumbass. Or the buzzword. The system thinking.
The systems people use every day are broken, and we can help them. Get a crappy job, or volunteer, and make things better.
I keep getting overwhelmed by everything in all the other PKMs. Maybe I’m just tired. But I’m gonna try just using Tangent. Private notes may sneak in here, so I won’t make the workspace itself public. Better to assume you’re stupid and carefully decide what to let through than to assume you’re smart and carefully decide what to omit.
Lost a couple of hours’ work because I didn’t check filesystem capabilities. macOS pretends it can tell the difference between two folders dir/ and Dir/ with distinct contents. Apparently the laptop drive came with the old-school case-insensitive filesystem.
mv dir/x Dir/ because I think I’m being smart and now dir/ is gone and Dir/ contains only x.
On the challenges faced choosing Stride as the engine for a game jam, and why despite all evidence to the contrary they do not regret that choice.
Okay I’ve been sharing a lot of stuff on social media and thinking “I should save this somewhere.” I’m itching to revisit both my tumblelog experiment and my public brain experiment.
What will I put here? Mostly the stuff I’ve been posting all over. Some cool tech thing I saw. A silly thought I had. Maybe a bird. If my last tumblelog experiment is any indication, there will be full-on blog posts there too.
.NET solutions really do feel like an officially blessed approach to monorepos.
John Carmack supposedly wrote a game for every letter of the alphabet before he started working on Doom.
Setting up and managing a Kaplay project from Deno
deno init --npm kayplay -t PROJECT_NAME
But you still have to figure out permissions and then where the heck is the kaplay executable?
Uses Vite.
I installed Continue on VS Code. Continue lets you set up custom models for LLM-infused coding, including local.
Spent a week marveling at how much better it was than GitHub Copilot. No spurious suggestions of nonsense code. Gave me exactly what I wanted, exactly when I wanted it.
Amazing.
Then I realized I never configured the extension. I’ve just been using the LSP. Which is powered by Ruff, not VS Code’s default.
