a constant, existential pull
so old I couldn't tell you the end
or draw its shape
between kind acceptance
and striving, struggling, writhing, climbing
learning, growing, discontent
"do you feel this way, too, at endless war with longing itself?"
but the birds and trees and ants and wind
in their own marvelous design
don't reply
Any conversation

I am a remote worker, and has been for 4 years now. It works great. But the owner of the office I've been renting have sold the building, and the new owner has different visions. I could work from home, but my 3 month daughter is a screamer. I had a great, cheap deal. All alternatives I find is like 3x the price.
Not a bad idea. I know some people rent a single desk in some other companies office. Problem is you kinda need to know the owner to find those deals

Been a bit quiet here the last week or so. Recovering from ill health, at risk of redundancy, and working on side projects. It's been a bit full on.
Does anyone make pay check/cheque money from side projects? Can I use my redundancy runway to turn some websites from side hustle to salary money?

I have made this longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter ~ Blaise Pascal
So, should we all give AI agents more time so they'll write things shorter?
Too much sound deafens us; too much light dazzles us; too great distance or proximity hinders our view. Too great length and too great brevity of discourse tends to obscurity; too much truth is paralyzing. - Blaise Pascal
You reminded me of this other quote, from what I think might be my absolute favourite passage in B.Pascals Pensรฉes, thank you!

Hi, yes, I develop ari. I'm so glad it's proven useful for you! Any feature requests or changes you'd like to see? I'm curious what bits of ari have made it easier for you to explore data, too.
UI or #dataviznotesfollow additions keep tempting me, but I haven't settled on what I want there. If you have thoughts on that front, I welcome them.

The two main things I use are the duckdb support and of course the built-in resty client. Not needing to shell out to curl just makes life easier. I should probably add that Iโm mainly prototyping and explore things that later eventually will be developed further by others in our organization, so using array langs where I donโt need to type a lot is a big plus for me:) Iโll let you know if I need anything!

Thanks, thatโs helpful. Those are the two things I use the most, too.
One development tool I use frequently is the
util.ac function (for โauto-completeโ) that takes a glob pattern and returns all the globals whose names match.
I didnโt want to make people have to define or update their Goal lib path, so in recent versions of ari Iโve been packaging all of the Goal libs and ari's into a libs FS that you can use with import.Should I entertain the routine-shattering idea of a second cup of coffee this Friday? #execnotesfollow
