I realized you can unpin the Discover feed here and it makes this several times better "You control the buttons you press" etc etc but it's easier to not get distracted with algorithmic crap if you don't have the option at hand in the first place

I prepared red cabbage cream and I’m rather unimpressed by the recipe I followed but it makes an excellent sauce for ravioli

When I added comments support to string_to_quoted etc adding more passes to the AST to normalize it for the formatter was ok because it only affected the formatter, but changing the parser to integrate comments into the official AST is trickier to get right and fast

I got to the point where it’s hard to keep my desk clean and tidy. The printer takes a lot of space and I don’t have enough space for a drawer, it’s hard enough to manage the cables too. Time to move to a bigger place I guess, these 33m^2 served me well until now.

Getting a NAS or something to back up my stuff and maybe selfhost something has been in the back of my mind for a while now, but I’m not sure if I should get a prebuilt unit or build a rackable one myself

I wanted to watch Stand Alone Complex, some of the Ghost in the Shell content is on Apple TV+, I recalled I have 3 free months from my apple product purchase so I activated it. I have to purchase the movies separately from the subscription anyways. Piracy is always the moral choice.

That you need to download a third party app to set a custom ringtone in iOS is so moronic I can’t even

I just came back from a trip that was supposed to be 4300km but ended up being around 8000km across 2 countries and full of hikes. I’m destroyed in a good way.

I'm happy I got a Nikon P5200 for cheap, I'm not happy to see how expensive the lenses are

v0.6.0 of parameterized_test is out now, adding attribution to the stacktrace of failing tests to show which set of parameters caused the failure. This massively improves the debuggability of these tests. Many thanks to @wojtekmach.bsky.social and @dorgan.ar for tips on the implementation!

The information around manufacturing niche things is quite sparse. I'm trying to get details about hard enamel pins and I found some, but it's still hard to find info about how deep is the pocket supposed to be, how to bake the enamel paint, etc Most resources are like "it takes trial and error"

I got some aluminum sheets to machine, there's some things I need to figure out and reduce play in the z axis but it's promising. I'll also need a larger facing bit, and proper enamel paint instead of cheap acrylic paint.

Dorgan's Rule number 1 of macros: write more macros Being afraid of them only makes things worse. It's a tool from the language, learn it. If you wrote enough macros, you may stop.

Writing an OSS library is fun, but receiving PRs is a reminder that what you did is useful to people and it feels good in a way that I find hard to describe

I got to play Half Life: Alyx and the way it coveys sheer scale in the Combine's monolithic structures is unmatched to any flat screen experience I've got so far. Having to physically look up or down gives a totally different feeling, like it does irl with mountains or monuments
