Was watching a tech talk and had playback at 1.5x. Then after that I clicked through recommendations to a Zero Punctuation video and my brain exploded.

Starting to think I might not read some of these links that have been sitting in my “Read Later” list for three years.

One of my favorite things in the world is when I get to teach someone what #TIL means.
The joy as their eyes light up at having an immediate example.

Oh heck two brain cells just bumped into each other and successfully made a spark. I better go be productive.

We have electricity!
I have allergies.
It’s all a bit of give and take.

@tk Oh sorry I missed the link. I thought you just meant something like sticking a bare wire up my nose.
Yes, we have an air filter, and you have reminded me to turn it on!

It’s Pride Month, which means we can collect rainbow logos from companies that harass, dismiss, and fire their LGBTQIA+ staff.

Thing about even aging with this brain is everything happened so long ago and also it’s happening right now and there’s this thing you gotta work on but also you should probably stop worrying about that HS English class essay.

I want coffee. She wants chocolate. So we go into the store. Naturally the second we step in, I’m looking for the chocolate and she’s searching for coffee.

Today’s hyper focus level was “spent 13 hours merging notes from two PKMs into the existing notes from a third because it’s easier to copy and paste from that one.”
I was gonna play some video games but it’s 1:30 am and I realized I’m tired.

The news of the world is such that I am finding an hour in Elden Ring a peaceful, soothing experience.

Showed my Logseq setup to my ADD coworker and not sure if I should be pleased or worried about their immediate enthusiasm, especially how I mentioned there are dozens of these tools out there.

My main nit with TypeScript is summed up by this very Microsoft sentence from the 4.7 release post.
IDE tools are great. A language that feels broken without IDE tools is not.

@jgaskins I have similar thoughts. Paper is still good for foundations (anything from Tufte to “The Self-Taught Programmer” to Knuth) but those volumes about using a specific version of a specific tool? Not so much.

@ocdtrekkie I had a huge library way back. Enough to pay rent at used bookstore buyback prices. But after I paid rent with it & had to move a few months later anyways — yay recessions — I didn’t really have an urge to restock. Had to travel light, you know?
