I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
the Fennel programming language****
A Lisp for Lua.
Installed via Homebrew:
brew install fennel
Another glorious sunrise, sun’s rays streaming over the mountain, two excitable pups, and some middle aged dude going “agh it’s bright OH NO SUNLIGHT AAAGHH!”
And then I wonder why so few of the neighbors say hi.
I’m thinking about ways to get Obsidian (or any PKM really) closer to org-babel. Evaluate code, show tables and plots, stuff like that.

Freeform extension for Obsidian inspired by Observable Framework.

@gulthaw not a fucking thing!
It’s a childish euphemism which I used deliberately to defuse and mock my own strong emotional reaction. Forcing font sizes is an accessibility issue, but not something I genuinely think people should be punished for.
@taylorhadden Thanks! I’m a CSS Zen Garden fan, how they completely transform a document with style rules.
So if there’s a look I want, I always try it in CSS first. And any app like Tangent that makes CSS snippets easy is gonna stay close to my heart.
Oh and I like the PATH_* approach to identifying note type.
@Sempf strong “other than that how was the show Mrs Lincoln” vibes to current life.
I just want it known that, left to my own devices, I remembered to eat breakfast before noon.
(munches on hastily prepared breakfast sandwich at 11:21am)
@brennen the only intentional callout here is myself :bloblaugh:
My “have you eaten breakfast yet?” reminder went off at 8am which is too early to be registering food or reminders.
Replying to the recruiter email with a “no,” but a friendly one – because ok Tucson <-> Scottsdale is an infeasible commute for 3 days / week on-site hybrid
@bitprophet 1922 maybe
No I don’t know. My brain started with that because “didn’t the whole Confederacy nostalgia statue thing really get going in the 1920s?” Then “but wait why would Arizona ever care about the Confederacy?” Then “oh they were in it technically gotcha”
(which is why I used 1861)
@bitprophet I know. I just started typing in one direction and couldn’t stop until I hit the end point.
Adjusting CSS rules for Tangent.
Hide filename top header if there’s a level 1 header.
:where(main):has(article h1) > :where(header) {
display: none;
}
Colorize emphasized text and strongly emphasized text so ADHD brain notices there might be something important there.
:where(main) :is(em, strong) {
color: var(--warningTextColor);
}
Diminish my big-ass frontmatter so it’s out of the way until editing time.
:where(div.frontMatter):not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) {
max-height: 5em;
overflow-y: scroll;
background-color: var(--accentDeemphasizedBackgroundColor);
opacity: 0.6;
}
div.frontMatter:not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) :where(.start) {
display: none;
}
Add line numbers to code blocks to see if I can. Not sure if I’ll keep it, but it’s handy to know!
The various sorts of first-pass due diligence one does on seeing an interesting job post:
main site and products, how they want investors to see them
documentation and FOSS repos (how they want devs to see them): branch structure, naming conventions, ticket history, commit message log
social media presence: where they at? What they talking about? How they saying it?
Mainly just hoping for an acceptable shitpost ratio (not too much not too little) on first pass. Actual quality checks come later.
I like to think that not extending my Copilot subscription (because even at my most patient it’s not been good enough to be a budget priority) and disabling VS Code’s “Log in for free Copilot” sidebar panel is some kind of data point.
@kusuriya Sure that’s why I have VS Code in my rotation at all!
On chilly days, Barry enjoys when I do CPU-intensive work on the laptop.
@AAMfP I’m on macOS, where your basic desktop GUI app is kinda slow and chunky by requirement. VS Code with admittedly too many extensions often exceeds 10GB RAM usage.
Got me wanting to set up XQuartz. That was always good for a dramatic slimming and speedup of my preferred desktop apps.
@antijingoist are any other desktop editors out there a consideration? Zed? Nova? (Nova’s macOS and subscription, but I don’t know what you’re sitting in front of)
#Emacs lost the crown to Visual Studio Code for “heaviest programmer’s text editing environment” a long time ago, but let’s hammer that point home.
Doing all kinds of goofy things in Emacs + Org this morning and at peak load it used 1.6GB RAM.
I’ve seen AWS Lambda functions with higher memory requirements.
@mwop sorta and kinda. There may be a better fit already out there. What’s the aim? Publishing, transferring to another PKM, other?
