After months of hardly any rain, I’m really enjoying a cozy day stuck indoors just listening to the downpour; getting on with doing some house cleaning. Is it too premature to declare this autumn⁇

What’s the difference between a script-kiddy and a real ? Abstraction. You can program your whole life without learning how to meaningfully abstract problems into simpler pieces that TRULY make the problem easier to understand. I’m not talking about design patterns or vs . These tools can help. But to really simplify something for others, you need an intellectual empathy that many simply never figure out.

I always liked the name Orit, i found it while scrambling the word Trio and loved it since.

Never actually met someone with that name, sounds cool though.

Currently reading Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett

This is a pretty neat site. I remember having vague ideas about something somewhat close to this but doing nothing with them.

it's so simple and lovable!!

if it was the first of its kind I would like it but its not and I already have a main one so this is kinda nobolty to me

…

What's your main one? I use Substack Notes a bit these days. I was a big Twitter user (and used to work there) years ago, but stopped using it in 2023.

my lungs: yeah sorry! no breathing. in the textbook Soo no can do!

Found some coffee at TJ Maxx (american discount store) -- not a big discount but still fun.

why am I awake so early?

textlog brain worm! cheers!!

As I’ve gotten older, my mind has turned on in ways that prevent me going back to sleep. Hope you get the rest you need!

there's no fundamental physical limit that prevents silicon from developing taste and judgement, but language is a lossy compression of reality. taste comes from experience, from the shadowy mass of episodic memory, which swirls and convects at the boundary of consciousness. the ideas recombine into new ones in the nuclear reactor of the hippocampus. but no matter how imbued with meaning and expertise is a handmade wardrobe we still get our shit from ikea

One day I would like to see Thailand. That would be nice.

I though textlog was a gonner there. It was several hours with just a 502 response. Glad to see it's back!

I messaged stagas on reddit about it when it went down lol

I'm certainly glad it's still around, I just got here.

Football > Liverpool Research behind Liverpool’s last minute veteran-substitute-provided-draws and the talented but uncompetitive players they replace.

i recently finished hemingways "the old man and the sea". very highly recommend for anybody that wants something short and memorable. left me feeling something between inspired and nihilistic

This strangely reminded me of golden days of Twitter. There was a point I absolutely love Twitter. This is also a reminder for me to pick up a book instead of reading a load of random stuff online. Thank you!

I read it when I was (too) young. I didn't understand it. It seems I shoul read it again.

I'm employed again. Once again through someone I know and not through LinkedIn. Still not feeling productive and comfortable.

After a decent break, cannot not notice how much of my time I have to sell for a "traditional" job.

Returned after a ride on bikes around the lake with the boy. Did stop for workout, 🏋️‍♂️ did pull-ups, push-ups and squats. Love the place we live in.

I’m at the point where I understand half of what the AI tries to explain to me, but anyway, the feeds pages should load 10 times faster now.

What is your comfort food?

bread and hummus

Pasta and lots of it.

anything related to shrimp I'll say. what about you? 🦐

Palak paneer or khao soi.

…

Rice noodle soup

I've been enjoying toast to help click through a project. I still mostly use Zed to handwrite code, but it's nice to open a pane and fire up toast from the terminal. paradise-runner.github.io/toast/

maybe that right hand text can be made a little better? See:

The “you have seeing it all”, etc.

Improved. Still don't know what to do there. Maybe bring back a separate tab for inbox? wdyt?

…

or here :)

What do you think about making the “to me” similar to “for you”, “latest”, and “hot”, when it comes to font size, and the underline effect?

No because it's not a tab, it's a filter for the 'for you' tab. If we were to make it a tab it would have to be a different feed from the 'for you', but they overlap. I think it's ok distinct as it is.

Ah, I see, right. It makes sense.

Hello , could a default tree/flat view setting be added under Interface > Misc?
