The high-level structures of writing are prose, poetry, and drama. Cross cutting them is the purpose, these are not mutex: exposition, narrative, description, conviction. There's a…

Were you using Fable 5?

Ha, how many years spent reading it as re-flog and not ref-log. Flog the git!

Most developers just have a linear view of git, which is fine. Should I really care that origins are just named nodes on combined graphs? Like, I just want to check in my code befo…

Know the rules, fight the rules, I guess. More readable, but I’ve since regressed as tooling comes into play. Maybe it’s a good way to still use ems and differentiate from AI.

Only when responding to rants, i.e. pedantry for fun. Live a little!

I am personally a fan of space padded em-dash. Visually, semantically, it makes sense on all modern planes. There's an argument for line-break parsing. Of course I recommend do-not…

Author failed to explain the dash universe and their semantic assignments. - em dash: adjoining thought (Hey, so — ) - en dash: expresses a range (1–100) - dash: compounds word-par…

Is this faster than diskx inventory or other gui tools?

Not manually cleansing data and building apps with AI to do the parts you can't or don't want to do is a massive lift. I can do things that were far beyond my reach — suddenly. Alm…

Ironically, the text color choice on the website reflects exactly this kind of thinking.

I pay YouTube Premium and get no ads there. It's totally worth it for me. I get that they aren't performing less tracking on me, and they've labeled me as "will pay subscriptions f…

So obviously generated

WTF, I got this announcement from HN. Uhhh channel anyone?

Yah you get this inner platform effect where designers start unwittingly creating their own version of css using Figma and it gets really bespoke really fast.

I was making a new brand file in Figma and was about to define all the variables and aliases, paths, all that. Took one look at it and just made the 8 colors I needed and went on w…

This is also why i gave up on it. Don't want to install iTerm either, more blaot.

Aren't special and general relativity the grand leviathans of intellectual achievement? Pure thought unlocking the nature of existence.

TLDR: practice. If you have sufficient natural talent xor will, you will eventually go past the canon of available material and begin to transcribe your own. Then there are those w…

Feels sloppy (is sloppy) but I think the idea is to prioritize OS unification for hardware reasons, and UX across product suite — devices can share data, apps, screens, everything.…

I wonder if tube harmonics modeled by solid state settings has shaped music. Of course it has; music from that era is instrument-oriented. The discovery of feedback tones and the r…
