for whoever needs to hear this: you're not alone. i'm not vibecoding any of the software i write. i'm writing it by hand, but i've leveled up my emacs with eglot/lsp. i'm modernizing my stacks and use languages with excellent compilers. i think about how to do more with less. i'm trying to combine the best human-written libraries and modules and assemble them with minimal boilerplate. i enjoy reading your manuals and references. i believe in robust, secure, human-written software.

Here Dino is delivering his Pwnie Award, as well as the last public post FX made last year.

Of course it's because 2012 was a leap year, 1939 was not.
The label is correct or wrong based on the perspective: is it "in 4 days, 14 years ago" or "14 years ago, in 4 days"? I write the former (because I prefer it stylistically), but technically it's the latter.

Thought I had found a very strange bug in Véronique. Why are two different days "in 4 days"?

...I hate date and time. 😭

I love RSS, folks. RSS feeds still surface some of the best things I read.

Today, it’s this: https://jenniferplusplus.com/what-is-a-token/

Out of this, I learned the term “Anchoring” to describe an effect I observe in myself when using an LLM while working on a problem, and that I find problematic. I hope to use the fact that I now have language for it to help me break out of that loop.

What is a token

AI is meant to seem like magic. But there's no such thing as magic. It's all illusion. So, allow me to spoil that illusion for you.

Wir haben irgendwie übersehen, dass im ZDF Mumintal auf deutsch ausgestrahlt wurde — jetzt sind schon die ersten Folgen depubliziert.

Hat da jemand zufällig eine Sicherungskopie gemacht? #icanhazmkv

Edit: Gefunden.
