On flights I can never finish the provided meals before the flight attendants start collecting the trays.
i never know how to write the part of rec letters where i need to brag about my own credentials first.
Stumbled upon 100 Days in Jakarta and now can't stop re-reading it.
I was asking Claude to proofread something I wrote and it gave me the feedback:
Cosmetic.
\opnameshould resolve to\operatorname— fine if it's defined in your preamble (as in Evan Chen's macros), otherwise it won't compile.
Was a bit startled.
Compliment of the week: "Evan is so nice, but he always wins."
Playing a lot of Exploding Kittens recently, surprised how much I'm enjoying it.
Played my first scored game of Scrabble yesterday and on my second turn I
managed to land ZOOMER on a double word square with the Z on a triple letter
tile.
The rest of the game went downhill from there.
I tried to internally reroute web.evanchen.cc to web.evanchen.cc/index.html
but accidentally rerouted every domain on my site.
(So, e.g., apply.evanchen.cc also got rerouted to
apply.evanchen.cc/index.html, and hence 404's.)
Sorry about that! Should be back in working order now.
rclone sync is destructive and i didn't realize
(hence didn't use --dry-run). ouch.
good thing i'm still just testing.
Trying to transition web.evanchen.cc from Google Cloud to CloudFlare R2.
Let's see how it goes!
Editing a file not under Git version control kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies. It's like there's no one supervising my changes to save me if I need to revert.
Still makes me happy when I see deer walk by me in the parking lot.
i tried watercolor painting today and i now retract all my complaints in #283. like, as hard as it was for me to remember how to do certain tasks in procreate, having to do them with physical paint is a gazillion times worse.
Happy (and mortified) to report that the "Claude proofreads the 18.02 book" campaign uncovered an embarrassingly large number of typos:
42 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 163 deletions(-)I'm a bit scared but maybe should release Claude on the Napkin as well.
Excited for Keychain 3 to be out of beta
so I can be less confused about what my ssh-agent and gpg-agent are doing.
i'm so happy that Arch Linux obs-studio finally includes the browser plugin
as of 2 months ago
i always hated building OBS from the AUR
I'm sure I'm just incompetent, but I feel like I spend so much time fighting Procreate. Like… how do I draw a straight line or circle? How do I delete a lasso-selected region? How do I fill a region with a gradient or texture?
I wonder if there's something that's not clicking yet.
why do people apply the label "powered by AI" to their websites as if that's supposed to entice me
The speed at which rumdl fixes my bug reports is so impressive to me (e.g. rumdl#669 went from issue report to release in 65 minutes).
the netflix k-drama 기리고 is about a supernatural phone app that grants a wish then kills you, so of course the show producers made an actual decorative app. which i thought was cute, so i downloaded it a few weeks ago, though i hadn't actually tried it.
then today i accidentally opened the app with my thumb and it was the best jumpscare of all time.
