fiction (fantasy but not too much, like GoT):
The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin
one of the best books I've read in the past few years
it's a trilogy
each book of the trilogy won the Hugo award
street photography = mindfulness
looks like I'll spend one week in Toronto in May, and for a very good reason that I can't disclose yet
nope I'm enjoying my funemployment
I bought it because:
- eink so very readable outdoor
- very portable (I don't usually carry my Kindle with me)
it's only been a few days but I used it once while in line at the bank lol
but a phone can also do, sure, you just need to be disciplined enough to not default to opening social medias
just the cli, I just run "brew search" and "brew install", nothing too fancy
Even for "casks" (e.g. Google chrome) I still find it a better option than downloading .dmg files and manually moving app folders around
heh it's not perfect, take some time to get used to it, some apps that I found absolutely necessary are:
- flashspace (I have a minimal i3wm experience with cmd+[1-9] switching virtual workspaces)
- raycast
- ghostty
and I try to install everything through brew
can't spell enclose without LOSE
hah! that's why I haven't heard back from my application yet π€£
A great example of how the Google #golang team put thousands of lines of ultra-technical code in service of an incredibly easy-to-use and useful tool. If you ever deprecate code, you really should know about the go:inline directive!
I asked ChatGPT whether using less Internet would be good, even though that includes it. Its answer is actually sharp:
> A harsher point: if a tool is so available that you reach for it automatically, it starts shaping you. That includes me.
(let's also appreciate the irony of what I just did)
send some of them my way too π
something's cooking though, you might need to wait

no, in general in my life
at this point even if new books go out, I won't read them. I don't remember anything and the amount of characters and plots and subplots was just too much, I wouldn't enjoy them
I read a song of ice and fire (the available books) more than 10 years ago, during GoT season 3. Honestly, I did enjoy the first couple books but regretted investing so much time in this unfinished series π
if an app is completely crap -> it wasn't made by an AI
if an app *looks* good but doesn't work properly -> chances are that it was made by an AI
if an app looks good and works -> I don't care who/what made it, I'm happy
if you do, let me know π€£
there might be some rough edges
i mean i assumed all phones were mostly waterproof by now too π€£
i never completely drowned mine with water, but I did use water in the past to clear the screen
inspired by iA presenter, you write a markdown file where the text is only visible as speaker notes unless you explicitly promote it (which is the opposite of every other presentation software I tried)
anyway, I reached a point where it's useful and uses reveal.js under the hood: github.com/pitasi/skit
single binary, hot reloading mode, PDF and static HTML exports
I'm gathering some ideas for an atproto talk - that means that before writing the actual talk, I'll make my own slides rendering engine
why is overengineering so satisfying π₯²
7 times is the limit
Finally! No more "dirty" #golang builds because you have untracked files laying around which don't affect the build at all :)
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
I switched from Claude to OpenAI yesterday to try out opencode for this month π
I didn't mean to support war
