It's well known that the easiest way to get compiling OCaml code is to go through a grueling interview process and then relocate to New York.

Gosh I hate being reminded of how jank most language ecosystems are

Thank god I can finally stop wearing sunscreen

There's an unreleased monitor that I desperately want (Asus PG27UCWM) and as far as I can tell, the only way to be notified when it's released would be to sign up for their super spammy email list and then sift through the garbage for the announcement.

Change in quality between the initial printing and the later “on demand” printing is wild. Really glad I still have the original copy!

VS Code has this problem where every new feature that they add is turned on by default, leading to an enormous amount of visual clutter. Turns out that if you painstakingly turn all of this off, it's a perfectly fine editor!

Hey I have an idea, could we get some dermatologists in NYC who aren’t among the hottest people alive. Not enjoying having my earthly flesh inspected by a greek god. This may generalize to other locales

More people should read Children of Time, but especially those who finished Project Hail Mary and want to see more spiders in space.

Happy to finally publish a site I've been working on for a while now: arewelegacycomputingyet.com It's a status tracker for terminal emulator support and explainer the Symbols For Legacy Computing unicode block. It really expands the set of cool things we can do in the terminal!

SOMEONE STOP HIM!!!!!

There's lots of things that irk me about C, but I think I'm unreasonably bothered by the lack of named parameters to functions. How do people live like this?!

It'd be really cool to have a text editor that is hyper-malleable but also has a lot of training data in the LLM learning corpus so that Claude could make project-specific editor UIs for me while I code. Wait, that's Emacs isn't it? I take it all back.

I’m so happy that I managed to completely remove Windows from my development and personal computing use. Every time I see sometime from Microsoft it’s like Ha Ha, we’re making it worse!

A poor craftsman blames his tools. Wealthy craftsmen also blame their tools. Lots of tool-blaming going around.

It’s kinda weird that the words “fiction” and “nonfiction” imply that “fiction” is the default for stories

I echo this sentiment and would like to extend it to “implementing testing harnesses”

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

As an occasional Windows user, my relationship with this software is one where Windows tries to trick me and I need to constantly be on guard.

AI coding tools are safe and useful because version control give you branches, diffs (review), and reverts. Why don't our other tools have the same guardrails and affordances? Would it be crazy to stick everything in git?

Cafes should allow me to start a tab and order more coffee and snacks to my table
