Lifehack:

Instead of wondering if something is normal, ask if it's harmful.

Dressing up as an anthropomorphic animal character isn't normal, but it makes a lot of people smile.

Being exceptionally talented isn't normal, but it sure offers a way to enrich your life as well as the people you care for.

To hell with normal. To hell with being afraid of being called weird. Furries figured this out decades ago. Many anime fans and gamers, too.

Yet, I hear people ask things like, "Is it normal to feel the way I do?"

I dunno.

Does it make your life harder? Then you might want to do something about it. Does it cause harm to others? Definitely do something to correct it.

But to cry when you watch movies? Or to want to cuddle so much that you lose any interest in actually having sex? Or to hate the world we inherited so much that it hurts, and so you channel it into helping others suffer a little less?

Who gives a shit about normal. That's human.

I felt this in my teeth.

We all knew infosec Twitter was dead, but here's a graph.

Going golfing for the first time in my life, does that mean I am now:

a) old
b) rich
c) both
d) none of the above

I think I can say with certainty that it's not b) or c) 🤔

Spend the weekend in Barcelona, lovely architecture all around the city and perfect weather 🇪🇸
Github down once again, at this point I start being surprised when they don't have any issues for a while 🙄

Limiting myself to two cups of coffee a day instead of four or five really does make me feel better - who would have thought.

When I got started in software development I made python/flask applications that returned html to the user.
Then this whole frontend / backend split became popular and the serverside would return json for the frontend to work with.
Now htmx is bringing back the old ways and I absolutely love it. Not yet sure how much of it is nostalgia but currently I really hope this new/old way of doing web dev will gain attention.

htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext htmx is small (~14k min.gz’d), dependency-free, extendable, IE11 compatible & has reduced code base sizes by 67% when compared with react

#TIL how interactive shell like the python shell work.
I just finished chapter 1 of "Writing an interpreter in Go" by @mrnugget and creating the REPL (Read Eval Print Loop) was really eye opening for me. Going from "this is magic" to "oh that makes sense" always feels good
