Trying Vivaldi as my default browser again. Felt a little memory hungry on Windows, but for whatever reason that’s not the case on my Linux install.

Narrowly won a fight against the urge to write this utility script in Perl. It’s for work, after all. They mostly expect Python from me.

My smart friends: “I like that Hugo is all one executable.”

My other smart friends: “I like that Eleventy is just JavaScript.”

Me: I should edit my site footer so the language order matches repo stats.

from my site footer: “Built with Hugo. Made pretty with Picnic CSS. …and some Perl, Python, a little Ruby, maybe some Rakulang.”

Got tired of Ubuntu and Brew arguing about libraries so the Linux partition’s back to Manjaro so I don’t have to pretend I know what I’m doing because clearly no.

Only been using Linux 25 years. Total noob.

Another pairing day with the intern. Today’s highlight:

“All that work and the fix was one word?”

That exasperation. I know it well. I’m so proud. Welcome to professional programming. Now the real fun and frustration begins.

EOY annoying bug cleanup. Latest commit message:

“Canceling [X] no longer [executes X]”

hackers.town: 2020-12-10 Thu 22:01

This is the closest I’ve been to ‘happy’ with my site since before I admitted it was a blog.

Permissions and timezones infect every token of project code. That’s not inherently bad, but it does mean “add this bit of trivia to that string” is way more work than it sounds on the surface.

Since I wasn’t feeling up to writing code, I let myself play No Man’s Sky for a bit.

Been wondering for a couple years why I haven’t seen much in the way of image manipulation libraries. You know: what’s the new crop of ImageMagick & Pillow?

Oh, you’re tagging all that “AI research computer vision blah blah”

IT’S A FILTER LIBRARY, YOU WINDBAGS.
