haha cool! uhm perhaps we should detect hashtag and get rid of the line spacing

implemented, hashtag now gets compact lines!

echo “films” >> .textlog echo “books” >> .textlog echo “games” >> .textlog sudo rm -rf /etc

are expensive chairs actually worth it

I say it depends on where u buy it

buit a keyboard driven calendar webapp right now cause im disappointed with all tho other solutions i could find. no dependencies, super customizable, im kind of obsessed. for the first time in my life im actually keeping my calendar alive.

Something you’re willing to share in any capacity? I’ve felt like calendar apps are one of the most poorly-solved areas.

i actually just shipped it lol: let me know what you think if you set it up! I really like the cursor for navigation.

I still don't get how now after AI coding there's people saying that contrary to common belief code wasn't a bottleneck and I realized that when I was starting to code at 10yrs ago when I was 15 and read it in a stackoverflow comment. I thought that was the common belief and still can't believe a lot of supposed senior programmers apparently believed so.

Yes, code was never the bottleneck and of course now it never will be either. Figuring out semantic modeling of data that makes sense across business domains and figuring out the right way to use digitalization to modernize processes, and the change cultures as become possible through such work - that’s much more bottlenecks! Code is easy; people and process is hard!

Fight the power, become a mentat.

This may become a thing. Have you seen the results of PISA? School performance is going down in the OCDE and richer students are going down faster (they have more tech available). Maybe the future si for those who ditch the computers.

almost done beating fear and hunger.... so hard!!!

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.

Previously bought Do Nothing Club cap after friends visiting us and we discussed it while eating pizza; and then my wife got an AD on Instagram. Meta is listening for conversations to sell ads.

You mean you and everyone else around you. Those are really loud! Though JBLs have the best quality.

…

"Everyone else" around me while commuting are only planes departing from Schiphol Airport. ;-)

Took a little .

Man, I LOVE naps! In fact, I mostly subsist on four or five 1-1/2 hour naps each day instead of one long over-night sleep period these days. I didn't set out to have a sleep schedule, but here I am. :-)

Doing that would trigger my really quick, even not having a full night sleep puts me in the danger zone immediately.

…

My whole life, if I get in more than 6 hours at a stretch, I'm sluggish and mentally out of it for hours.

Oh, dear! I wasn't polyphasic before cats owned me. Are my furry overlords rubbing off on me? LOL

At dragoncon, and it's even more than a zoo than I expected. way more people than I thought would be here on a Friday.

Went to the summer house to watch the but it was cloudy so we missed it. But the kids are asleep so guess I'll light a fire and crack a beer instead. Woe is me!

There's a few things I'd put at the top of my "things-I-least-expect" list, among which are readers on my little blog. 61 unique reads, wowee!

Testing, testing…

You forgot the “one, two, three”. :-)

Anyone in the room recently diagnosed as being in the spectrum and older than 40?

…

I'm 55 and recently self-diagnosed as "fairly ASD with some ADHD" after watching a lot of youtube videos. It's been immensely helpful (to the point of bringing me to tears sometimes) in understanding the struggles I had when I was younger. It's also been very helpful in understanding what I can do currently to support myself and work with my brain instead of against it.

I'm glad it was useful to you. This process of becoming aware of our autism is not easy. It is liberating, but it is also difficult, at the same time. I watched a lot of videos too, but then I visited a couple psiquiatrists and a psycologist (I had other problems too), just to be sure. What is your opinion about the ASD youtube landscape? I think that there are a few very good channels, but there is lot of noise too. I see some danger there.

Those "10 signs you may be [or not be] autistic" seem quite dangerous to me. Neurodivergence can be tricky.

Yeah. I do like them sometimes, but the good authors are careful to start the video with looots of caveats (e.g. "this is not how to diagnose, just something that's maybe helpful").

Yeah I agree that there are many ASD channels on YT of varying qualities. I only follow a few. Some of my favorites (very roughly in order):

@MomontheSpectrum
@imautisticnowwhat
@elenacarr0ll -- kinda more emotive, but I find that helpful sometimes
@autismfromtheInside -- no longer posts (burned out)

I think for now being self diagnosed is enough for me. Just knowing that I'm neurodivergent has been helpful for me to be kind to my own mind.
