The return of Orange-flavored Coke to the US is almost single-handily keeping me together these last two weeks

Went for a walk at the Garden of the Gods and saw these bighorn sheep today!

Got outside today and touched some grass today. Over the last few weeks this has been something sorely needed and I’m so glad I have access to views like these in Colorado. Take some time for yourself this week, you’ll thank yourself for it later.

Account on X is now finally also deactivated. Besides trying to save our democracy, and avoiding wars, we need to build open communication platforms that cannot be easily used and bought.

Playing around with building my Typst Resume with my website so that it is a linked build step. Having a proper build system in Zine is AWESOME for this!

LIVECODING ON! [Share Plz] Today I'm working on a MIDI to Lane (Guitar Hero) to a #YARG project (Chart Visualizer) with #Rust however I truly suck at geometry and the result is getting pretty funny. twitch.tv/danielhe4rt

Sad to see this impact by former home of Kansas City, as the IRS is one of their largest employers.

We switched Terrateam from Cohttp to libcurl and ran into some unexpected issues integrating it into our custom event loop. Debugging socketfunction was fun! Here's the post: terrateam.io/blog/cohttp-... #ocaml

Came across github.com/yamadashy/re... today and man is that really cool project! Worked surprisingly well on a React app codebase with Claude!

Ran into a pesky frontend bug today that had me debugging React all day. Turns out, it was my backend all along, smh.

Guys I did it, I migrated something to Azure from AWS! Now time for some rest, cleanup can happen tomorrow.

An interesting read. As a new NixOS user, it helped me understand some nuances of the command I use almost daily. I found the post very easy to read, even with my limited knowledge of NixOS.

You ever write a CI pipeline that you enjoy using? Did today, and it is one of my proudest achievements.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I want serverless OCaml

Still early days, but the first alpha testers are in. raycast.com/windows

Happy to report that APA wrote this letter, gathered a coalition across science, and will now pay for ads for it to be disseminated in Science and Chronicle of Higher Ed to spread the word!! unitedsciencealliance.org

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.
