various microblogs, ramblings, fun thematic gatherings of links, and other blog posts.
Read a cool HN post. https://hsu.cy/2025/09/how-to-read-hn/ . Had the thought that I should probably create a proper tag system so I can not dump every blog and microblog post in the same massive feed. See https://www.11ty.dev/docs/quicktips/tag-pages/ .
read a blog post, and some interesting links from its hacker news post. https://ohadravid.github.io/posts/2023-03-rusty-python/ https://github.com/pyutils/line_profiler https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene also note snakeviz, which is mentioned with some frequency on the pygame discord.
Hi, I'm also of the opinion that the current UI is confusing. This is with the caveat that the first time I was confused by such fundamental design motifs in user interface is probably my youth with Word 2007 and such. This is to say that I grew up on and am familiar with the "windows-style" user interfaces with a menu bar named File and such. With this explained about me, here are the things I…
damn. pretty. https://mirrors.mit.edu/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/microtype/microtype.pdf coming to typst? is this what this means? https://github.com/typst/typst/pull/6161
I've been trying to learn how to make my pygame code not bad. https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/ by Robert Nystrom is pretty nice. I've done some learning with that book, particularly being in the middle of a project using state machines. This is making me a bit annoyed with python. I've been wanting to learn Rust to a non-trival degree for a bit now (because new languages really rewire the…
It's here! /garden/
note to self: can install an up-to-date version of R from posit's cdn, of all places: https://docs.posit.co/resources/install-r.html update: make sure you grab the correct versions! I use Ubuntu 22, and tried to install for Ubuntu 24, which gave a scary unfixable error message: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using…
I really need to keep a list of foods I should never buy again when I encounter them in the wrong scenarios. Tangentially, I should start making a digital garden to complement one-off blog posts. I've heard "digital garden" described as a website style where you cultivate a garden of continually changing pages instead of releasing things post by post. For example, this list of foods would make…
I've been taking looks at NixOS, and it's real cool. I've been using the uv python project/package manager recently, as well as being exposed to stuff like npm . These have declarative environments ( pyproject.toml and package.json ) that makes coding in different places a treat. In general, being able to set-and-forget a configuration for something is really really comforting. My current setup…
