everything old's new again i guess

back from my self-imposed posting hiatus (still in the midst of a cross-border move)

people keep posting the dumbest takes god help us

pretty sure someone else has already thought about it, but couldn't we have something like colored functions for allocations instead of asynchronicity?

caring too much about html has no html energy

seeing Claude raw dogging some Python inline in a shell is still so baffling lmao

Insane that Claude feels kinda sub with his "say the word and I will..."

had a blast again at this years html day in Seoul

funny that people attribute verbose writing as an inert characteristic of LLMs writing style, while I'm doing since it middle school

love that he called computers "high technology"

the "I can fix her" meme, but it's me and Safari

@are.na why don't u let us upload html files?!

We need URLs everywhere for everything, the way we have GPS and calendars for location and time. I want to send links to passages in PDFs and to specific moments in a song I’m listening to. Everything should be shareable

going insane because nothing I make visually feels like me

I think my answer to "why do you want to work here?" might boil down to "the work seems to require reading Man pages regularly"

Computers were never supposed to talk but now they do and we all have to figure out what that means, like wtf?!

Had a practical use case for Awk again, and it felt like using Cuneiform

Has been a bit less than two months since I started doing spaced repetition again, and I'm already at almost 1k new words?!

Reading about all the intricacies of Unicode is like crack for me

It’s interesting how emblematic and ubiquitous sound (and smell!) is in Futurist literature. Contrast this with today’s perception if modern technology progress where both of these are absent or if present at all rather perceived as negative externalities, but never as something to be in awe of

Me when I hack on my website that’s written in C

god bless those who encode application state in the URL

I wish I could've seen the 2014 Futurist exhibition at the Guggenheim

browsing my own channels on are.na has kind of a serene feel to it

Policies should have mandatory QA done by the people implementing them

Keep thinking about that Phillip Glass quote how he’d never have made it in today’s housing market

I've no data to back this up, but I'm pretty confident on average I'm for some reason I'm happier at night hours than during the day

Working in a other languages really let's you appreciate, for better or worse, the structure Rust gives you

Love it when a website fails to load CSS in time and you get a peek on it’s HTML stripped down

The way Javascript deals with numbers is just pure insanity

Clojure’s arg destructuring seems so unnecessary, especially considering that the language doesn’t have types

talked to my mum and she called Zuckerberg an Arschkriecher out of nowhere lmao

being online a lot forces you to eventually ask yourself who you are not

LLMs are kinda the more useful the more confined the interface we interact with them

I really dislike the term "coding"

Bluesky not showing the likes tab on other peoples profile, while being public data anyway, is performative at best and deceptive at worst

because of work I got back into doing spaced repetition again, and I see so many narrow use cases even in domains that don't seem a likely fit at first

love when a website is hosted via Apache and I can remove the last part of the URL, see the page directory and then continue exploring the site on my own
