I found myself adding attribute support to Comrak on the weekend.

Ever-declining sleep quality lately has blessed me with a preponderance of dreams turning lucid; most recently, I was lying on a grassy, featureless field, and decided I wanted to see a magpie.

Some months back, I stopped being able to sleep (or comfortably lie at all) on my left side.

People are sometimes sceptical that providers use extremely distributed residential botnets to scrape, but it’s very obvious, particularly once you have done every thing you’re “meant to” and several steps beyond: when all the robots.txt blanket disallows…

Many years ago, a wonderful coworker and friend got me the book あなたの知らない超絶技巧プログラミングの世界, English title “The World of Obfuscated, Esoteric, Artistic Programming”.

Again starting with my my reading list (since last time): what i've read these last three months (would you look at that?

Over a decade ago, I wrote the programming language Rouge (wayback1) — a reimplementation of Clojure in Ruby, the language itself adapted for the specifics of its new home.

Unless you pay for it, or it’s specifically designed to dehumanise you, you won’t get a diagnosis.

The LLM scrapers started to reliably knock nóssa offline (even with Anubis difficulty increased), so I had to implement Measures :( Logged-out users can view the root page of any repository, but can’t navigate to any blob, tree or commit.

You are typing too much, and I don't mean you should be getting an LLM to do it instead.

The garbage just keeps getting worse, and something I’m struggling with now is that, increasingly, people are fooled by it!

You might be aware that Ingress NGINX is retiring next month (that’s tomorrow!).

I’ve been thinking about LLMs a lot lately.

I’m grateful to Nemin for writing about his experiences with Guix!

I fucking hate reading LLM-written/assisted drivel, or worse, probably slop, waiting to see if the same bullshit tropes repeat too many times to be coincidence.

Having 100%’d the achievements, I felt like I was pretty done with the game, but one little thing kept bugging me: the last of the three statues, which don’t have an achievement other than the feeling!

The Monastery at the End of the World: into the woods—AI is not therapy: Machines will destroy the very idea of therapy.

I should probably add some distinction between dev and prod mode for next time, oops.

Thanks to the Pipa Index and actually working in the open, I’m able to publish what I’m working on!

I’ve been thinking for a little while that I should look into trying to contribute to the Rust compiler, since it’d be fun if I could understand what’s going on under the hood better.

Despite my absolute lack of love for Ruby on Rails (and revilement for certain persons at the project), I have embarked on my tenth year of working for pay on very large, very highly used, and — how should I put it — very well-loved Ruby on Rails codebase…

Alternative title: “ERB::Util.html_escape_once considered harmful”.

Wish I could feel rested again.

A review or synopsis of a book can never replace the experience of reading it yourself: contemplating ideas for hours and 100s of pages as each sentence is carefully consumed.

I thought it was probably about time Comrak had a better landing page than a README.

When you HTTParty, you must party hard!

In what I’m sure is not a sign of the times, just a week later we have this beauty.

Been too sick to do anything but play Stardew Valley lately, but hey, I’ve never gotten past day 20 before, and now I’m having a lovely time :) A little while back, a lovely person reached out and asked for some advice.

This weekend’s absolute fucking shit-show could’ve gone better1, and for the second time2 — after some well-intentioned efforts by Lotte in that thread that ultimately left her feeling even more burnt out and apathetic about humanity — decided I was done…
