This is a really uniquely designed print in place bb launcher. I’ve never seen bb’s on a zip tie like that, they look smooth and molded. Interesting to hear about the design process.

This site gives us a glimpse into the development workflow using git over email, without remote centralized servers. I found it interesting how patches can be sent with an optional cover letter nearly like a pr would be made.

Vim :noa is a command that runs what you call without autocommands on. This is typically used when you have some BufWritePre commands for formatting, most auto formatters are implemented this way in vim. It can be super useful if you have something like a yaml/json file that you have crafted perfectly how you want it, maybe it has some source code for a small script or sql embeded and your formatter wants to turn it into one line. You could get a better formatter, but for these one off cases that aren’t a big bother to me I run :noa w.

Forgejo supports repository mirrors, I think this is how I am going to handle migrating all of my github repos into forgejo. over time I’ll probably go through and delete a bunch of unnecessary one from github, ones that might have a user or two I might keep on github. I have such small scale projects with almost no users I am not sure that It really matters for me or not.

This commit to my keymap gets rid of vertical combos, those were a bad idea to me. Maybe I didnt give it a shot, but hitting two keys at once on purpose with the same finger is a skill, one that I don’t have. This change maps those symbols so that they work as a combo or layer switch, so getting the layer key in first does it by layer, but pressing them at the same time gives me the combo, kinda feels genius. We will see how it goes.

I’m playing through peak right now with Wyatt and it is a great game, a small wholesome indiegame that is legit hard, but fun with the simplest concept. You are a scout who has crashlanded on an island, your goal is to get to the peak with your friends. You must manage hunger, stamina, weight, health and energy. You have limited resources and must help everyone to the top, if someone is low on stamina, they are going to need a helping hand or a stonger climber to go up and set pitons and ropes. Its a fantastic collaborative play game

a short clip of me playing with wyatt, I did not have anything great to add, but this is just a random clip

It was insta-ripped off by roblox with microtransactions pay to win garbage. It looks one for one the same damn models and interface, they spared nothing at making it look exactly like the original. They let you buy a golden apple assuming it gives you crazy stamina to climb with ease, and it costs goddam robux. As Big A says here theres nothing they can really do, the roblox platform just lets this happen, and if they didn’t they would loose huge revenue because this is so prevelant. Legal fees would crush this small team that made it.

damn david has been busy, this is sick seeing all of the repos, I’m ready to jump in!

If you don't want it, tell them. Social media …

damn, M$ really pushing hard on moving github into the ai org.

This man feels sad, he never had a chance to bloom. He was stuck behind the drudgery of jira tickets. This is what the consultant driven agile has got us. Its ripped out all the thinking and creativity, its left us with moving tickets across the board, not allowed time to run on an idea when we have one. Not allowed to do extra work or refactoring in a module that we are already in. pushed to move faster for less.

I feel like this mans experience has been quite different from my own and I’m grateful to have some leeway to be creative and do some meaningful work outside the jira board. I’m grateful to be able to provide a good income for my family without taking on all the risk myself.

Crazy that we wrote such similar posts on the same day independantly, I just wrote I'm Out On Agents sitting offline in a doctor office. The two pull out’s are very good,

By definition AI is magic to the vast majority of people, but funny how true this is.

I like ChrisBuilds’s project terminaltexteffects.

TerminalTextEffects (TTE) is a terminal visual effects engine, application, and Python library.

I recently discovered python-socketio by miguelgrinberg, and it’s truly impressive.

Gave modd a try today, and I like it, its something I am going to consider slotting right into my justfiles. Gave it a try and it seems to work really well out of the box and easy to configure.

Fighting some parens in hollow knight lead me to subtle little pauses when playing, I’m swapping combos to only work on the default layer, except for grave, I must have it for minecraft.

Today I gave modd a try, and it seems like a good file watcher executor. I tried using libnotify to send desktop notifications, but all I got was modd, I might not have notifications setup right on the awesomewm machine.

config goes in modd.conf

**/*.py { # check formatting via ruff prep: ruff format --check . # check docstring formatting prep: pydocstyle . # # # check type hints via ty prep: ty check . # # # run linter via ruff prep: ruff check . }

I installed it using installer from jpillora, pulling pre-built binaries right out of the github repo.

curl https://i.jpillora.com/cortesi/modd | bash

Then you can install it, and on file change it will run the commands you configured.
