Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.

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

replied to:

Do you dunk the Crunchie or mush it in?

replied to:

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

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

Listening to this I had an AHA moment. When the powers that be made more and more LLM tokens the whole goal, I thought it was quite stupid. But I realized that for them it made sense, because in their managerial understanding of programming, they believed the output of LLMs is the best they could get for the money.

Or they just had investments in LLM factories.

Use of Weapons by Iain M Bamks. Absolutely stuffed full of scenarios, a gut-wrenching story and another of his great twists at the end.

Maybe I need to re-read this because I kind of bounced off of it. Loved Player of Games, though.

Up earlier than I should be today. The witching hour got me. I started thinking about how many in society have decided they prefer screens and artificial words over real words and real connection. Have we collectively decided it’s easier to just not be vulnerable? I should go back to bed…
