You don’t really need docs as --update-refs does what the OP does automatically instead of manually like the OP does.

Wait what? What would that module even be for?!

If I may, the evil is not in the top level await but in the use of a top level await in a module that exports. That is evil. But a top level await in a programs main script seems o…

LOLz! As someone who swaps caps with control on all machines as well as buying keyboards which lack caps for a control key, this site is truly horrifying!

In struggled with this trend even before the AI hype. I love learning and focused my work towards always learning. But it takes energy and lots of work; some days are better than o…

I use Makefile for my static blog that is powered by a static site generator. Something I love about this is I can have one place to describe all the different build tools. I can h…

The anti-make-reinvent-everything mentality has bugged me for decades. I never understood why every language seems compelled to reinvent the build system. Especially when the outpu…

In the tech communities we call this “context switching”

Yes. Place the secrets in a secured (symmetric encrypted) document. Then print the password for that document and hand it to a loved one, trusted family member/friend, or lawyer.

When I tried to introduce s-expressions to a DSL my co-workers nearly lynched me. The parenthesis were so violently hated I sunk into a deep hole and still haven’t came back out of…

I disagree with this take. I have found immeasurable advantages to working with non-IDE/non-hold-my-hand-editors when programming. The separation of concerns (editing text versus c…

I’m curious if it makes sense to have a distinction between source code existing for the purpose of discovery versus software for fitness of purpose. In other words this is similar…

I love how text is formatted in these documents. It shows a level of attention and care I don’t see often in modern markup/HTML/Word/Pages pipelines. Maybe it is some TeX magic but…

As a parent dealing with their midlife crisis and raising two children I can say this concept is high on my mind. What kind of world are they going to inherit when they can’t even …

I have been giving this one a lot of thought. I jumped to sourcehut for my personal projects and was amazed how viscerally pleasing a [PATCH] email thread could be. I am convinced …

Why can’t we just Pair Program more? There is enough open source out there. Enough user groups meeting. Enough hack-a-thons. Just make them Pair Programming sessions. Please! pleas…

Meanwhile, Vim and Emacs users be like “what is going on over there?”

> I don't understand folks who want their tools to fight them. Been coding professionally for a few decades now and I completely understand and validate this. I also do not underst…

I once wrote a tiny DSL language. I used LISP (S-Expressions with parenthesis) because it semantically fit and made the parser much easier to write. I was laughed at and ridiculed …

This looks very similar to a library I wrote called https://fancy-pants.js.org which wraps custom elements. Mine allowed an opt-in approach to shadow dom or use the light dom (with…

I wish I could GPG sign or hackcode my online content in pain text. But the tools to do so don’t make it to the general publics consciousness. We used to seal our communications wi…

I tried reactivity once to help me understand the implementation details under the hood. I wrote https://fancy-pants.js.org/ for this where I attached mutation to scheduling a rend…

Considering length is key in computing “strength” I’m curious how using a long dialog from a movie might make it bad? Presuming you account for the full 95 entropy set (numbers, up…

I try to put all my tips tricks and ideas into a tiddlywiki.com as it is a full featured wiki that runs as a self contained HTML file that runs offline. Fantastic for offline docum…
