The government welds your door shut and then outlaws starting a business and living in McMansions, cars, skyscrapers, and tiny homes. The governments bans body odor and then closes stores and bans delivery services. The state closes bathrooms and then outlaws public urination. The government closes the border and then arrests tourists for overstaying their visas.

taking a week off to stave off burnout, catch up on some reading and writing and small projects, and finish Ocarina of Time. also will make soup

Math class -_-

If there's an audience, I can write about the real China beyond the spotlight

This bout of COVID is more like “Corona Light” compared to previous years, but I’m still spending most of it in bed. Stay safe out there.

Ordered JBL Charge 6, waiting for delivery today. Will mount into my bike and will listen to music while commuting 25km to the office. I'm a victim of marketing, seeing an ad, buying stuff.

I’m really digging the cozy vibe of this site. Thanks, @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog!

Collected my helper functions to lozenge.el package, e.g. (◊duckduckgo "textlog") opens ddg. Lozenge is ◊ character. Others are (◊find-file), (◊grep), (◊github-search), (◊show-commit) etc.

New in agenttop.dev : panels open in your #multiplexernotesfollow. 🤹‍♂️ • Any panel can now split into its own pane, live, beside the #agentsnotesfollow table. • Works with all the popular multiplexers: #𝘁𝗺𝘂𝘅notesfollow, #𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗷notesfollow, #𝗪𝗲𝘇𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺notesfollow 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝘆. • run a panel on its own: agent-top mcp, agent-top slow, agent-top fails, agent-top advice. ➕ The # MCP panel also lists the orphaned MCP processes that outlived their agent and are still eating memory.

game dev with LLMs assisting on some of the engine legwork I learned to do over the years is the most fun programming I've had since I was 12 years old plucking away at the public library commodore 64

Applied to an L5 software engineering role via e-mail and without any other contact I received back a bunch of questions that clearly look like they're aimed at L6 or even L7. Not sure what to do with that so I withdrew. Briefly considered answering them but was weirded out.

just finished the book “This is what inequality looks like” by Teo You Yenn. will gather my thoughts and write more about it.

One day I would like to see Thailand. That would be nice.

What is this? I Like It

The essential work of #programmingnotesfollow is building the theory of the problem + solution. Theory then enables creation of working code. In the end, the code is necessary, but it is not sufficient. Theory is indispensable. (cf. Peter Naur, 1985)
