@ElectricDryad I’m sure they’re working on it! Popularity is its own punishment ^_^

@masukomi Well, you’ve got the “microservices for everything” crowd but micro is too much for the CGI case and too little for the monolith case.

But not to worry! We’ve got serverless, which is billable CGI.

A thing going around about disenchantment with tech companies and generally they’re not wrong but I have rarely been excited about what VCFundedTechCo has ever promised me.

@masukomi oh I remember that poem! Yeah I have similar thoughts about Perl, especially now-ish when people only seem to remember its reputation for quickies.

Folks out there still saying — in tutorial material! — that Perl is primarily used for CGI.

Building up the key thoughts from the reading notes. Actually trying some form of honest-to-goodness evergreen notes.

I’d be doing this a little quicker, but I got other stuff to do today. Plus I’m figuring out what this workflow looks like for me in #Heptabase.

Finished “From Perl to Rust” tonight. I wouldn’t say I know Rust yet, but I picked up enough that I have project ideas.

BTW those whiteboard apps do not like it when you paste your 3,409 word markdown notes into a new card.

Trying a new-to-me approach for processing my reading notes in Heptabase.

Whiteboard app with notes for each chapter on a card, with key thoughts connected to its associated chapter

Tonight’s bedtime doodle in #LineaSketch.

No I don’t know what it’s supposed to be. She thinks it looks like a flower starting to bloom. I think maybe it’s some funky fungus.

A line drawing with pinkish shades, vaguely floral or fungal as described in post body.

People in this meeting keep referencing LOINC which — despite knowing better — my brain insists on hearing as a blend of “link” and “yoink” like an aggressive HTTP GET.

but no it’s “Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes”

@tithonium I like the thinking process for sure, but I got too much hipster Zen reading during my formative years. So everything goes under fiction.

Sometimes the bedtime doodle is just a bit of shading practice in Linea

Ah 7am local time. Time to sip a little coffee and —

process the four slack notifications that popped up in the last five minutes.

Time zones.

Thing is if you ask me how I’m doing I might actually tell you. Incoherently, but that’s your fault for asking.

Just having some with squiggly symmetry

I got almost three hours of sleep last night.

hackers.town: 2022-10-18 Tue 09:43

@GrumpusNation I don’t feel lucky…

hackers.town: 2022-10-18 Tue 11:19

In a meeting and I think we’re all sleep-deprived because dang it’s a quiet bunch.

Barry is not supposed to be on the counter. Barry is technically not on the counter.

#KinopioClub working surprisingly well at the “capturing blog post ideas on the iPhone from the toilet” use case

Note cards describing key thoughts about smaller personal knowledge management tools like Kinopio, Capacities, and Heptabase

Can’t think. There’s a helicopter hovering a mile or two away.

A cascade of systemic and individual errors means I got no ADHD meds for a couple days.

Rather, I have two pills to last me from a couple days ago to whenever the psychiatrist gets back to me and changes my designated pharmacy thx to cranky insurance.

Love when I’m in some SaaS workspace and somebody on the other side of the date line makes a timestamped note and the workspace helpfully tells me they wrote the note tomorrow.
