Damn Johnny is always such a positive vibe, just getting steamrolled by this braille shit. WTF are these brand sleeping on. Happy to hear that Andy and Brian are supporting him well.
Also kinds shows what shoes are good when he goes to buy shoes cause no one will send him any and he goes with Etnies.

Niklas Luhmann created the Zettelkasten method of notetaking, He was the Da Vinci of writing, holding a high standard that we can take inspiration from even today in this digital era.
As many times as I have seem the Zettelkasten covered, I never knew that it roughly translated to little cards in a box.
Four Principles # [1]
Mischa lays out four principles of Zettelkasten.
- Atomic - each card conains one idea
- Link - cards are linked together
- Structure - comes from the links
- Own Words - You write the note in your own words
My blog, tils, and thoughts make up my own zettelkasten. I am not going to say that mine is a perfect representation of his method, but the components are here. rather than building books, my thoughts and tils build up to blog posts. The rate of blog posts I write definitely changes with the seasons of life, as seasons change it becomes a bigger or smaller part of the season.
I really like Mischaās most important note to Write in your own words, this is what really promotes learning, and proves to yourself that you can form a thought around the topic. Up until recently Iāve wrote everything, but lately Iāve taken to copy pasting some quotes i...

Even after switching to my hm and ht behaviors I am running into some issues where sometimes I am still accidentally hitting mods(&hm) and layers(&ht) while typing and itās been getting frustrating. My main issue has been on &ht, they are configured the same so I suspect that my pinkies just move a bit slower over the keys than my pointer/middle finger.
I just added quick-tap-ms and require-prior-idle-ms to my &hm and &ht behaviors, and a few intentionally sloppy passes through monkeytype seem to show that its working well. A few days of trying this will tell whether it was a good fix or if I have maybe gone too far the other way.
The end goal here is to be able to roll over keys faster without worrying about hitting other layers or mods.

Today I swapped out all of my keys that are used dual purpose for letters and layers to homerow layers. This prevents goofy things happening when rolling, and prefers-tap makes it so that keys that are rolled over get hit as letters instead of as layers. This was one of my biggest hurdles jumping into zmk, lt as a homerow key just does not behave the same as the ht/hm behaviors with tap-preferred set.

volfpeter.github.io [1]
Very interesting approach to htmx [2] and fast api. It uses separate decorators for returning template partials and json that can be stacked to include both options on a single route. The templates are explicitly set in the decorator. Separate decorators are used for full page and partial pages. I donāt see an example of full and partial pages being combined. I think the demo app must be behaving in a spa like fashion where it does not get all of the data when it calls index and index will ask for user-list.

miniserve is a sweet http server, replacement for python -m http.server. Itās fast, runs off a small binary, but why would I want to use it over something that already exists on most machines, because it includes a bunch of features like qr codes, pretty themes, and uploads. Iāve used python -m http.server many times to transfer files from one machine to another in a pinch, like at a family members house. But what if they have an android, windows, or something not easy to get a python repl running on, you can run miniserve and upload from their device rather than hosting from their device.

Iāve started leaning in on kubernetes kustomize to customize my manifests per

You can enable color diffs by using an external diff provider like colordiff.
export KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF="colordiff -N -u"
You might need to install colordiff if you donāt already have it.

sudo apt install colordiff
Now I can try out kustomize changes and see the change with kustomize diff.

Background Tasks - FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production

fastapi [2] comes with a concept of background tasks which are functions that can be ran in the background after a function has been ran. This is handy for longer running functions that may take some time and you want to have fast response times.

app = FastAPI()

A Python interface for markdown-it.rs, using Rust for blazingly fast Markdown parsing ā”ļø

markdown it py running in rust claims to be 20x faster. Iāll definitely look into this if markdown it py is ever a bottleneck in my performance. At first glance it appears that plugins are written in rust not python, and there is no admonition plugin, so Iāll keep my eye on it for now, but I canāt use it.

diskcache has a peekitem method that allows you to lookup the expire_time of a cached item without changing it. I recently used this to implement debounce for fastapi [2] background tasks with multiple workers running. since all the workers I care about are on the same machine, but running in different processes diskcache was a great option. All workers have access to the same disk, but not the same variables in memory.
