Thoughts and bits

Forgot to post after releasing v1.9.0 back in May, so this is gonna be fuckin huge.In short: v1.9 added a new rule (style/prefer-clj-string) and a new cli flag (--[no-]summary). v1.10 added reading available deps.edn and project.clj files to determine the…

My wife made the mistake of asking me the dreaded question, the one I have attempted and failed to answer for many people throughout my life: “When I push a button on my keyboard, how does it show up on the screen?”

@ridiculousdino asked:Need a vibe check on the new olivia rodrigo songvampire?

Watched Mission Impossible 1 for the first time in probably 20 years with my wife.

sometimes i feel like i play a game and i get it, i just don't enjoy it so i put it down (uncharted series). or i get to a point where the game stops being fun for a variety of reasons (elden ring). other times tho, i spend the whole time going "i don't g…

I understand that consistent labels and acronyms are good, but I think QuILTBAG+ is better than LGBTQAI+.

@prophet asked:What is your favorite programming language you don't know?

instead of doing work, i'm chosting because i'm at a point where i don't know that i can reasonably do my job. i've been here over a year and i still can't work tickets without significant help and multiple missed deadlines. knowledge about how the busine…

@ridiculousdino asked:Tell me your favorite tswift song and album please and thank youAlbum is easy: Lover.

She was great, the show was great.

@wiredaemon asked:What is a type in programming languages?

Saw Cave In open for Yob recently and both were amazing.

1 new rule, 2 new outputs, and one of my favorite changes yet: continue to run after a rule throws an exception.

v1.7.0 adds a new rule, a new cli flag, and two new output options.

Small bug fix this time:I of course fucked up the adhoc deploy script I built, so when I pushed 1.6.0, I didn't actually tag it and didn't commit any of the changes and really just messed it all up, so I cut another release immediately.

Spoilers under the fold

Gonna put the patch notes below the fold

idk how people do remote work. i've been at it for 3 years and these have been the least productive, most frustrating and painful years of my software career.work on something. get frustrated. open a new browser tab. go to facebook/cohost/lobsters/etc. im…

my kids are growing into prime animated movie ages, so we're been listening to a lot of the disney and related animated musicals, as well as watching other animated movies too. because of who i am as a person, i spend a lot of time deeply thinking about t…

oops, forgot to post in here about these (not that anyone on cohost uses splint :eggbug-sob:)1.2.2 big changes:

someone i knew roughly 6 years ago passed away at her own hand. this is the third one in the last year, which doesn't even go back to my wife's mother 1.6 years ago.there are 6 million many ways to die and i know that the older i get the more people i know

i’ve always liked kids but raising my own kids has now made every kid i see my own kid, invisible cities style.it’s both endearing and scary. if i think about it too much (like when chosting), makes me cry.

Started playing card shark on my switch and it’s great.

since 1.0, i've done a fair amount of work:shit's coming along nicely and i feel good about it. still fast as hell

Watched Vivo again with my family cuz I’ve been playing the music.

company fired some of my coworkers. i somehow survived; i suspect because i'm cheaper than them. doesn't feel so good.gonna get saddled with my ex-coworker's project that he's spent a month preparing for and was going to get me up to speed on next week, l…

sometimes it's like i'm jacked into the matrix, the work i have in front of me consumes not just my field of vision but my entire raison d'être. every part of my brain is tuned for the problem space, every breath drives me forward like ramming speed in be…

i don't like waiting around for version 1.0. 0ver is funny but annoying.

sometimes, i have a conflict with my wife and i'm unsure if i did the "right thing", if i acted in a way that's consistent with my values and my ideal self, and if there's space between our shared expectations that i can either stand firm and say, "i acted

I did it, nerds.

Quick follow-up because I meant to post that last night and accidentally left it in my drafts.I came up with the idea of parsing #_:splint/ignore the way clj-kondo does it: attaching it as metadata to the following form and then check for the metadata when

I want another parser because I want access to comments.

After lots of work, I have a "good enough" version of splint, my new Clojure linter, that I can now share it with y'all.

I’ve named my new clojure linter splint, a portmanteau of spat and lint.

Clojure’s best linter, clj-kondo, is pretty dang great.

I feel like RRR showcased a style of melodrama that I don't see super frequently.

In release v114, Francesco Pellegrini fixed a whole mess of bugs, added set-mark command, and added some tests to cover bug reports we couldn't reproduce.

I have just released Null Signal Games' newest set Parhelion on jinteki.net.

:eggbug: 😏 :eggbug:

I commented on someone else’s post about open source community norms and brought up Rich Hickey’s Open Source is Not About You.

I listen to the Eggplant podcast and think “I could make a game” but then I sit down to program and I have no ideas.

I recently came across a blogpost about rewriting an "elegant" function in Clojure into an optimized function in Common Lisp.In it, John Jacobsen discusses how they went from this Clojure code:

I started writing a little blog in the summer of 2017, when I had really hit a local maxima happiness.

This past week, I had the opportunity to contribute to an existing custom report built for a client.

I'm siting here at 1215 after another long day, and I've been thinking to myself, what am I doing?

I don't know what I'm here to write, I just know that I have this feeling like I should keep it up.

I'm at this weird crossroads in my life right now, where I can push hard to get married and settle down, and I could also dive back into the "dating" life I led in the winter/spring months.

Starting any project is difficult, and I suspect regular blogging is not an activity I'll have much luck with, seeing as I've classically hated all forms of writing.
