This was an amazing talk. Maybe one of the best I’ve seen in recent memory.

It seems like Apple has started to aggressively crawl, maybe with their own LLM crawler/indexer. I've never seen this much traffic from them before. Early indication of them launching their own LLM?

I’ve got my ticket! Who will I see there?

It’s Friday. You rush home from school and power up your family's 386, clicking the turbo button, hoping it will boot faster. Firing up Qmodem, you dial your favorite BBS, "Baud to the Bone." You hit "D" for Door Games. Crimson red ANSI art fills your screen. It's time for...

It seemed kind of redundant at the time, but I ended up building a Ruby LSP plugin for Neovim, just to smooth over some setup quirks. It's had a nice side-effect of where I could maybe add some nicer things that don't come out of box with nvim-lspconfig. Autodetection of tooling, etc.

I've been giving some thought to the Gemdocs.org architecture. It's fairly simple (by design), with essentially VM on hypervisor building & serving, and NFS connection to NAS for storing. But NFS gives me grief every time I reboot. Constantly restarting rpc services, etc or thinking exports busted.

I want to eliminate NFS, but I'm essentially trading the complexity now for a mounted filesystem vs some sort of HTTP service. I'm already running garagehq on the NAS for other purposes and I think I'm going to start sending the built docs there (and src, since I archive source).

Garagehq offers up a nice opportunity to run a mirror somewhere else, if I wanted to. But I'm gaining some tradeoffs and still not sure if it's worth it: 1. ZFS dataset for YARD docs and src currently, which is nice for moving around/backing up/etc. 2. Garage will mix everything together (default)

You are up to date.
