The video was a lot of work, but I'm quite happy with it: CleanShot X's Studio Mode really helped a lot with making it nice, and I've used whisper.cpp to generate pretty good subtitles, with the correct vocabulary. Fun!

I’m watching #BangtanRising and damn, those kids are just freaking adorable #BTS #GoshaDoesKpop

I should probably reframe my take: sure, they’re adorable, but also very inspiring in how hard they work for their dreams. It’s pretty incredible.

And DHH, whose writings and work rescued me from the LAMP salt mines of the mid-00s, and who ended up writing shit like what he's just posted on his blog just now.

I also somehow thought that Lebedev was the one from whom I learned abut the writings of the great humanist designer Viktor Papanek, but it was in fact from @monteiro.bsky.social, who did not end up being a disappointment. Sorry for misremembering, Mike. Let's Make Mistakes was truly great.

Artemy Lebedev, who through his work, blog, and books nurtured my UI and design taste, who yearly reminded his audience to read Nikulin's "Memories of the War" instead of following the official v-day parade, and who ended up supporting the invasion of Ukraine in the most callous, anti-humanist way;

Awed/annoyed that I'm developing a kind of fluency in the LLM-bullshit dialect of the English language: "Oh it wrote 'a load-bearing concept', that means this bit is being used by other parts of the system"

Signed the contract and paid the first installment for the venue, so it's official. HeartConf 2027 (née Heart of Clojure) is happening! August 18-19 2027 in Mechelen, Belgium.

I probably spent a lot more time than I should have on this control. I'm not a fan of the checkmark + colour label pattern, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this better. #UI

Billion dollar business idea: wet wipes that don’t fuse into one giant cellulose brick of despair inside the packaging while you’re dealing with a poopnado

I think the idea that has informed my thinking about LLMs as tools the most so far is that LLMs answer the question “what does an answer to this question look like?” Instead of the actual question. This has been on my mind whenever I have to engage with anything LLM-related.

Doom Emacs randomly decided to stop opening large-ish Clojure files (we’re talking sub-100kb). Oh joy, oh happiness.

Any UK small business owners who are using Wise as their only business bank account? Thinking of switching to that (from Revolut) because of lower costs, would love some feedback!

Wow someone on bluesky has built a digital version of the “they are disgracing our neighbourhood” billboard from my Soviet childhood

Back in the 90/00s, you’d go for a Mac as a way to rebel against the beige box PC hegemony, you’d go for Lotus 1-2-3 to protest against MS Office, and you’d get a Matrox g400 to show you had more taste than the average Quake-loving 3DFx-er. What are some parallels today?

Chat, how can I access my mp3 collection on my work laptop without actually copying it over (it has bitdefender on it and I don't want to trigger any alerts). At home I guess I can just mount a network drive and point cmus/doppler at it, but what if I'm outside or travelling?

UK friends: please recommend me your favourite accountancy. Must be friendly to contractors/small tech businesses 🙏 Thank you!

Seems like I’ve successfully optimised that part of my life: I’ve joined a small but super smart team building some seriously cool tech using Clojure!

I need to start optimising my life for the amount of lisp written during work hours

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

I've been taking daily instant photos of our son with my massive Mamiya RZ67. I've done this for the first year of our daughter's life, too, and now it's his turn 🥰 This is when we went to register his birth today! #mamiya #rz67

The camera back is the Zinstax, it takes Instax Square film, which, while expensive, is still much more affordable than the old school polaroid setup: zins.tax

We named our son Ezra, not after Mr. Pound (or anyone else famous), but now I feel like I should at least be familiar with the work. It's lovely stuff.

👧🏻👶🏻 life with two kids, three weeks in: it felt like we had child wrangling logistics figured out with our 3yo, but adding an extra kid to the mix threw that notion right outta the window. and this is with a newborn, who’s not doing much yet! well, we will figure it out.
