I came up with a new and simple thing I really like (utilizing ): just # Justfile open cmd="": #!

Today, I let haiku critique and write out bare drafts from my side into proper texts, and I think it worked pretty well.

Yesterday, looking for how to properly do keyboard shortcuts in SolidJS, I found this website: Solid Primitives That's a pretty nice idea, actually—I especially like how clear they are on the Design Principles and the maturity indicators.

Hihi: https://iselmdead.info/ Is Elm dead?

Ooh, there is a new-ish Zod replacement that looks pretty cool!

Just properly read Jacky Zhao's note on Tools for Conviviality: https://jzhao.xyz/thoughts/Tools-for-Conviviality I've only read Deschooling from [[Ivan Illich]] so far, which I found great.

Keyboard shortcuts & other stuff you probably want to know about

Some time ago, a fairly computer savvy friend of mine looked at me confused/surprised when I sat down at his PC and skipped through the text word by word by holding down Ctrl and then clicking the arrow keys.

What I used/found helpful for learning Vim keybindings

I'm already a person that tends to do this enough/a lot, but today I got inspired to do it some more: Do One New Thing A Day To Solve Your Problems (I think I've got a loose contact on one of the nice!

Ooh, there's a Video Series on Thinking in Systems!

I just tried out fast-check for property testing in TypeScript, and my first impression is it's pretty sweet.

I'm always on the lookout for 'the perfect' slides program (whatever that might be).

Just found this gem: A Million Ways to Fold in JS The speed at which this talk is progressing is insane.

Uh oh: Apparently, you can poison LLMs pretty easily

In earlier grades in school, I've been time constrained in what I could do for most of the time.

As I'm slowly progressing through my read-review pile in Nirvana, I find Jade Bonacolta's Quiet Rich stuff better and better.

Tell me something I don't know | Tell me where I'm wrong | Ask for help | Have a nice conversation

Configuration parts you might want to know

Over the last few weeks, I found lsp-mode TypeScript suggestions to be slower than they should've been.

Some setup: I regularly think about why our civilization currently struggles the way it does, and I think a significant part of our struggles comes from not really having an alternative system available to which we can compare ourselves to.

Would you look at that!

I'm always having a hard time when people use a mathy notation in a context where it could make sense, but doesn't really.

A web of notes that grow

I'm currently looking at a solution for the Internet issues when traveling via DB, and found this lovely Wikipedia page: IPv4 Address Blocks I've always wondered whom the local 10.0.0.0/8 range originally belonged to.

Things that can go wrong in DB trains and how to (sometimes) resolve them

When traveling via DB in Germany, there are a few things that can go wrong.

I'm currently reading The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson—and just now one of the protagonists came upon something called Needle's eye in an ancient city.

And now I can publish texts to Bluesky from Emacs!

Last night, I finished reading Augmenting Human Intellect, a summary report on Computer Use for [[Tools for Thought]] (also incredibly old: it's from 1962) written by Douglas Engelbart, the guy behind the The Mother of All Demos Content-wise, it's pretty…
