May as well go completely rogue and have a Crunchie with your second .

…

Do you dunk the Crunchie or mush it in?

Ewww. No, just have it alongside. Sip, scrunch, sip, scrunch. Lovely.

Oh I misunderstood you 🤣

Didn't have any on hand yesterday, but that has been this morning. Indulging now and then can't hurt. Good suggestion!

Need to use a quantum RNG to split the timeline into one where you did, and one where you didn't

People have no idea how many news websites, SaaS websites, and apps I would subscribe to at prices of $30/year or less ($2.50/month).

I've been curious about the reasoning for prices too. Like, there has to be research behind it... But I agree it is far easier to buy four 2.5€ services than one for 5

I've been on a kick lately of trying to visualize the oscillating clock, and ultimately the effectively arbitrarily complex activity of a computer processor, as modern refinements of the line shaft factory of the 19th century. Of compute as being not much more than profoundly refined "work" delivered by the electrical grid into marvelously complex machines. Does that, as a metaphor at least, feel as important to you as it has to me of late? We spend so much time in a world abstracted.

Hey Greg!

created a quiz:

programmer emergency: production is down. You change absolutely nothing and restart the server. It works. What did you fix?

thinking on deploying excalidraw on my homeserver, so I can store drawings without bothering with export/import. Yes, excalidraw+ for $7/mo; but nowadays I pay only one sub - for Claude; everything else is personal software.

Well, done, Claude did while I drove a car. It even added save/open file from the server (stored in SQLite). Deployed on my homelab server.

hi! welcome and congrats on the ! you can are free to linkify it if you use the full url.

I had hit a throttle now. That’s a “subtle" way to tell me to slow down.

In other news, I'm circling what sure looks like GCP overbilling us by over $1M/year going back as far as I can see.

What is a Textlog?

Hello 👋

This is a very silly thing to be doing in 2026, but I finally tried some Quake 1 recently. Pretty cool, it's amazing how much it really does just end up feeling like Doom in 3D.

Since I played both Doom and Quake 2 back in the day, it does feel like I've finally bridged that gap, to where I think I understand what people mean when they talk about Romero's influence in the design.

Another thing I think it makes really clear is just how much room-over-room changes the way the game spaces feel, even if no one's actively thinking about that while they play.

Hi =)

I have to constantly be working or I get very agitated. Is this ? I don’t like entertainment other than background music while working and maybe before going to sleep I watch a series on Netflix to relax. That’s when I’m on my introvert mode. When I’m extrovert (I’m ambivert) I have to constantly be around people and outdoors, I get agitated indoors, can’t work at all and definitely can’t watch anything. How do these two personalities co-exist in me?
