hot take: "consumer #ainotesfollow " doesn't exist. at most it's just better search, but the ai assistants like grokbot or now instinct aren't ever going to be big. new devices and personal agents are DOA

Many leaders acquire authority through ambition and manipulation. I’m not referring to them. But a test of leadership for those who acquire authority organically, with the will of those being led, is to maintain the zeal and principles which put you into that position, after you encounter the machinery designed to exhaust, exasperate, deter, and demoralize.

I'm a simple man. I see a new platform, I grab my handle. 😎

I needed to process 20,000 json files & 20,000 JXL files. I'm pulling together a website from them all. Anyway, started with emacs elisp to handle it all, just because I've not done that before. Went kinda ok, and I'm gonna use org-mode to export it all to a website (done that bit loads of times before). In the end, I ended up breaking out my C programming skills (late 80s->nowish). It was a delight. Nothing more refreshing than writing raw code, that doesn't rely on 3rd party code/libs. #prognotesfollow

Happy [no] Labor Day to those in the U.S.!

What is this? I Like It

Developed a Vinboard (my pinboard.in clone) shortcut, works really well. On iOS it lives in Share menu, on macOS in the Dock. Click sends the current browser page (Safari, Chrome, Zed, Firefox) for bookmarking. On the server side Jev decides tags from 60 least recently used; and archival opens a real Chrome to save the whole page for posterity. Unlimited API limits and direct requests to the database. Pinboard charges for much less functionality $22/year.

what ls -flag is your go-to?

I was contemplating pwc372, p2 and came up with “- 1+&/-/'(&'(?x)=x)@0 -1” (goal). Conceptually I like it, but maybe it can be simplified further? #thinkeringwithcodenotesfollow

I made a thing: SwiftTUI.shSwiftTUISwiftTUIBuild terminal user interfaces in Swift with SwiftUI semantics: views, state, focus, gestures, and animation, compiled to one native binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Try the live demo, then run the same app in your own terminal.

NIH syndrome? I am guilty of it too. I love implementing things from scratch, you learn a lot by doing so and you get to own the codebase end-to-end, so no surprises and fighting around others’ choices. It can get exhausting too though, in the end I succumb to using off-the-shelf components because my primary goals move at a higher level.

This #tome about #Tcl/Tk has me re-evaluating my plans to move to the woods to be a carpenter hermit. Now I want to move to the woods and be a #Tclnotesfollow programmer hermit. #programmingnotesfollow #codingnotesfollow

The rho coding harness I’ve made has come along way and I’m constantly trying to evolve it, but whenever I go back to pi it’s startling the difference of what a solid computer science background brings.

Made some big updates to my side project. cheltenham-od.ukCheltenham Open DataLocal Open Data for Cheltenham & GloucestershireFree Cheltenham open data for Gloucestershire: compare local fuel prices, check crime stats, house prices, flood warnings, food banks, GPs, planning and news. including adding loads of interactive maps. local data for local people

Quite a few major #featurenotesfollow's implemented today, API writes, password logins, full-text search. Wonder what's going to follow.

@stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist creator of textlog, the emote you can set as mood in your profile, what limits does it have? I was trying to use the scissors emoji ( ✂️ ), but it wouldn't let me
