A bit of insomnia this early Tuesday morning. I call it โthe witching hourโ, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and the brain is defenceless. Reality, of course, is more nuanced, but brain doesnโt care. :)
Going to document some approaches to produce data visualizations using ari via DuckDB.
Donโt know why it didnโt occur to me earlier, that there would be some solid community extensions for #dataviznotesfollow in DuckDB.
I was trying to use an approach that relies on community extensions, but installing them is proving finicky.
Going to consider an approach that requires less futzing.

Productive weekend started four hours ago for me (at 06:00 EDT). Visited aunties and mum. Just got home, and waiting for wife to finish preparing to get on the road again. Next destination: nursing home (visit family, and โadoptedโ elders).

Just three more commits left, but /usage ran out. Resets at 01:50, so I guess I am going to sleep.

Woke up during the night for a short trip to the loo, got 'resumeโ going. All done in the morning. Ahh, coffee tastes better now!
Returned after a ride on bikes around the lake with the boy. Did stop for workout, ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ did pull-ups, push-ups and squats. Love the place we live in.
Someone can create enormous value while their manager controls the narrative around that value. Conversely, a manager can conceal structural problems because the people capable of exposing them depend on that same manager for evaluation and promotion
Tried #Emacsnotesfollow for a year, but it was too much for me, then I used #Neovimnotesfollow for some time, now I'm using #Zednotesfollow because I was tired of fixing broken plugins and setting up debuggers and LSPs.
#vimnotesfollow! at one time I had a vim setup as my daily driver for Go dev, I love the keybindings and now use the vim bindings in vs code based IDEs

Totally, I'm glad they're at least trying something new (for Apple).
It just underscores the general failure of imagination vibes I get from everything in tech nowadays. Most of the industry is breathlessly chasing a 20th century "golden age of scifi" vision of AI. And Apple's over there diligently trying to improve upon other companies' products from five years ago.
At least no one's talking about the metaverse anymore.
yea its kind of sad how the design language has all converged to the same phones and laptops. 1990s/2000s tech had so much swag and fun with design, especially japanese brands. i like what nothing does, the uk smartphone brand. at least they have some identity.
and yea the metaverse to my mind was just a meme eversince they introduced it, like I know exactly 0 ppl that own a vr headset, and im with the nerds here. just shows zuck is surrounded by yes men

The interface needs some work. For example, I would like the textarea that I am using right now to be as wide as the header above. Also, where is the character counter?
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.
So I found the blog of a Ukrainian Front Line soldier on Bear Blog today. Incredibly grim stuff to read, but I really wanna get in touch with that guy now and send him so cash so he can buy a burger. Hope Herman forwards my message ๐ช

So, I just got an invite to the new W Social (EU) platform. It requires proper ID authentication - so actual provable humans are on there. Feels good and slightly optimistic. Let's see how it goes. #wsocialnotesfollow

All emails from textlog go to my junk folder, @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist
creator of textlog. Using iCloud+. Not sure if anyone reported that before, so here I am. :-)
Yeah it's happening to people. It's because the email contains a link and we don't have the reputation yet. Not sure what to do, have you tried reporting it as 'Not spam' in your client? Maybe if enough people do that it will fix. Gmail works ok.
Yup, I am moving them out of it. It might take a while, but eventually should be OK. All good, hopefully now with a password I will not have much use for them any more.
