I feel like people can see what I've been up to lately my checking my GitHub commit history because recently everything I do gets pushed to public repo's.
the day has finally come where I reviewed my 21G.901 Anki deck and didn't have to use the again button
Caring about normal is for people-homogeneous things. For example, human anatomy is quite consistent from person to person, so if your blood pressure is significantly higher than the population average, then your doctor is right to worry.
Whereas pursuit of interests is pretty much the opposite of that.
sometimes i wish i had registered evanchen.dev instead of evanchen.cc,
although i don't think .dev domains were available for sale yet back then.
Note to self on how to use virtualfish to create a new uv environment with a
specified Python version
vf new -c ENVIRONMENT_NAME --python (uv python find 3.12)Honestly the virtualfish and uv situation is worthy of a blog post… maybe
it'll help some confused amateurs like me? If I have the time.
Programming languages are also judged by the proficiency of their users. So a programming language with good design principles attracts good developers, which in turn increases its reputation further.
I ran out of Claude credits so I ended up refactoring build.py
in web.evanchen.cc by hand, which took way longer than making a robot do it,
but I feel like the final product was also better than it would've been
if I had an LLM do it.
Switched from Pelican to Zola for wall and it feels so clean. (And fast.)
TIL that sed can delete all lines matching a pattern:
sed -i '/pattern/d'I think I should learn more about sed.
Woke up to Tailscale DNS not working on desktop.
Ended up installing openresolv to replace resolvconf, to match my laptop.
I have no memory at all of installing either.
I hope Python and Rust rule the world together.
Spent the morning trying to wrap my head around the nvim IDE stuff and wrote up a note to self.
Reading about mkdocs falling apart is… huh. I had no idea.
CI is killing my productivity because I feel like I can't focus on the actual work until the CI is set up perfectly.
Might really switch from prettier to rumdl.
Finally realized I could use CloudFlare's functions/_middleware.js
for a small basic HTTP authentication. That's nice.
Something about running this command was deeply satisfying:
$ rm -rf Therapy/Trailing commas being forbidden in JSON drives me nuts. I hope Python gets TOML 1.1 support into a builtin module soon, for now I have to keep including it as a dependency.
Isn't fate pull such a good command name?
We discovered it when the package was pulled in as a transitive dependency by an MCP plugin running inside Cursor. The
.pthlauncher spawns a child Python process viasubprocess.Popen, but because.pthfiles trigger on every interpreter startup, the child re-triggers the same.pth— creating an exponential fork bomb that crashed the machine. The fork bomb is actually a bug in the malware.
