grievance #2: asana doesn't use query params to store your filter settings, so you can't bookmark a specific view without clicking "save view" which persists the settings for everyone. It also means navigating backwards loses your settings.

grievance #1: put my computer into sleep, then windows 11 decided to do an update and reboot, even though I had a bunch of apps open

Structuring large Clojure codebases with Biff I've been rewriting my reading app from scratch and open-sourcing it in the progress. I'm using it to experiment with new Biff features.

Wrote about some Biff-related experimentation I've been doing over the past ~6 months.

Nice, that does look cool.

Maybe the pluggable algorithms are all you need. Each "subreddit" is a distinct ranking algorithm that you add to your account (or whatever the terminology is). It isn't personalized; everyone gets the same ranking. moderators probably use an out-of-band app which controls the algo.

I think I/the world would get more benefit from decentralized reddit/forums than decentralized twitter. I wonder if you could do a reddit-style thing over the at protocol. maybe each subreddit is a unique account, and you submit posts by mentioning that account? etc

My plan/dream is to eventually try hiring a handful of college students part time and have my own little R&D lab. Once I'm done with the whole having-a-mortgage thing...

noice, I got a cheap alto recorder a while ago as an instrument that I could hopefully play a little in between taking care of kids... (didn't really work but at least it was only 30 bucks)

I wonder if you can get a neck strap? I used a neck strap with clarinet to take pressure off my right hand

Yakread + Pathom [video] I'm using Pathom to organize Yakread's code.

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Yakread schema [video] I've started open-sourcing Yakread. I'm going to try publishing videos about it along the way. This first video describes Yakread's schema.
