I literally just don't break git stuff anymore, unless it's submodule stuff, which is broken more often than not

hehe I put some code into my website repo to help automatically post to Bsky whenever I push updates github.com/mikedecr/sit... put it together pretty quickly so it's rough but hopefully will be a fun thing as I slip deeper and deeper into over-engineering my digital life

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first year Fediverse power-user. You just got finished reading about how Bluesky isn’t decentralized — Christine’s blog post probably — and you’re convinced that AT Protocol is a flash in the pan while ActivityPub is the real hope for the web’s future.

youtu.be/BA_HMsznNKg?... This YouTube channel is all about analyzing and optimizing the computational performance of N64 games and it’s an endless source of geeky entertainment. I cannot recommend it enough if you like computers and are the right age for N64 nostalgia

I have experimenting with doing-it-half-way-right. Say I need to introduce a contested concept that might not stick around to a code base, I might indirect the code to a separate file, but inside that file the code is stupid, like a dictionary with an assert that the keys are exhaustive & that's it

🔥 take, editors overload the tab key too much. IMO any "accept completion" should be a different keymap, not tab. further, it isn't even great for inserting tabstops. Other maps (e.g. vim C-t/C-d) lay bare the bi-directional semantic. tab is okay for selecting the next/prev scope, like in a browser
