⏺ Perfect! I've fixed the issue by hardcoding…

I started working on a small graph UI toolkit in #ClojureScript, to act as a replacement for react-flow in Parts. For now it only has UIx components, but shouldn’t be too hard to support Reagent, too.

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.

Gotta love the French bureaucracy and it’s friendly copywriting

Update: it was the new treesitter functionality. Turned that off and things work again. Bummer!

Time to take it to the xxxtreme and roll my own config?

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

Oh I had the exact same issue with Revolut, haha. Solved it fairly easily though!

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!

Dan I am not in principle opposed to the idea of a torment nexus; my main concern is: who decides who gets fed to the nexus?

gosha @gosha.net · 20d

Oh no, I have come full circle and it is now I who is disgracing the neighbourhood

gosha @gosha.net · 20d

hmm I don’t know about this one, Dan! Seems a bit too torment nexus-y to me

I was wondering how you were handling this whole situation, it really cannot be easy 😔

Okay I guess I’ll still keep an eye on this space. @danabra.mov’s open socials piece got me interested, found out about @tangled.org through it. Exciting stuff.

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?

Now that I'm no longer looking for work, I should turn my Hire Me website (hire.gosha.net) into a page on my homepage I think. It's a nice collection of past projects and kind things people have said about me.
