Happy to finally publish a site I've been working on for a while now:
arewelegacycomputingyet.com
It's a status tracker for terminal emulator support and explainer the Symbols For Legacy Computing unicode block. It really expands the set of cool things we can do in the terminal!
SOMEONE STOP HIM!!!!!
There's lots of things that irk me about C, but I think I'm unreasonably bothered by the lack of named parameters to functions. How do people live like this?!
It'd be really cool to have a text editor that is hyper-malleable but also has a lot of training data in the LLM learning corpus so that Claude could make project-specific editor UIs for me while I code.
Wait, that's Emacs isn't it? I take it all back.
I’m so happy that I managed to completely remove Windows from my development and personal computing use. Every time I see sometime from Microsoft it’s like Ha Ha, we’re making it worse!
A poor craftsman blames his tools. Wealthy craftsmen also blame their tools. Lots of tool-blaming going around.
The crosswalk leads to a dead end
It’s kinda weird that the words “fiction” and “nonfiction” imply that “fiction” is the default for stories
I echo this sentiment and would like to extend it to “implementing testing harnesses”
It’s actually just air escaping the tape
Printed illustration of an ambiguously-shaped animal that can be seen as either a duck or a rabbit depending on orientation and or worldview. Text next to the illustration reads 'Is this a drawing of a rabbit or a duck?'
Millennial cultural domination can’t come fast enough
Claude keeps winning
As an occasional Windows user, my relationship with this software is one where Windows tries to trick me and I need to constantly be on guard.
AI coding tools are safe and useful because version control give you branches, diffs (review), and reverts. Why don't our other tools have the same guardrails and affordances? Would it be crazy to stick everything in git?
Cafes should allow me to start a tab and order more coffee and snacks to my table
I don't remember needing much time to adjust between the two, and in my opinion, the moonlander's thumb key placement is more ergonomic for the way that I have the keyboard positioned
I’ve been using ZSA’s Ergodox and Moonlander keyboards for a long time now and they’re both great! They also have an ultra-thin keyboard called the Voyager and though the build quality is fantastic, I just couldn’t adjust to how few keys there are… if you’re ever in NYC, I’d gladly give you mine!
Learning about keyboard interrupts in school like “that can’t possibly be how it works”
inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me
for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment
You’ve really got to check, like, 12 misspellings before you’re safe though
claude "my github actions are failing, fix plz 🥺"
by itself is easily worth $200/mo.
Ooh, now you've got me wondering what it would feel like to walk around in a VR environment that just had the depth buffer rendered to each eye. Really wish I had a headset to try this!
Claude wrote this short about what it would do if it had the power to do something about Grok. Just thought it was an interesting generation.
Getting real tired of the "blue states are lawless hellholes" rhetoric.
If you have a choice on where to live and you'd like to avoid being assaulted to death, you could do worse than just checking how they voted in 2024.

Wasn’t expecting to have my views on the death penalty changed, but here we are I guess
Say hi to your banker for me!

I was up till 3 AM forking go's crypto library.
Here's a fun lil debugging story for about why:

If you did this to me, I’d have to cope by going outside to look at other fast things, like horses
