  • Try getting older!

    A decade ago, I was extremely into hi-fi — most of my disposable income went to it. (Martin Logan electrostatic speakers and McIntosh amps, stereo JL Fathom 13.5” subs, sound treatment and reference mic for balancing and analysis …)

    Now? I’m perfectly and completely pleased with my AirPods Max. My hearing just ain’t what it used to be, and I genuinely don’t hear the slightest difference. (… obviously modulo feeling the bass, hah.)

    (Yes. I listen to music over Bluetooth. Not even APT-X. WHO HAVE I BECOME? 😭)






  • What on earth size of monorepo is that!? iirc, we’ve got ~1Mloc of OCaml, probably another two or three times that in assorted generated code, specs, config, infra, and other languages; and my VScode-Remote definitely boots up as fast as the network connection can stand up.

    Definitely faster than I can think of the first thing I want to do … ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    That said, I should own up to having had an absurdly overcomplicated vim config, tons of plugins, a decade n change of customizations and patches and shit. Maybe I’ve just always had a high tolerance for a slow boot. hahaha


  • Whewf I’m boutta out myself or something, but …

    after 15 years of vim, writing (and contributing to) a host of plugins, even running custom builds with my own patches …

    I basically never boot up Actual Vim anymore?? I’ve basically entirely switched to VScode + VSCodeVim. embarrassing as fuck, in some ways, but jesus christ it’s just too goddamn good.

    The neovim integration, even, was fantastic. (Although I don’t use it right now, for “VSCode Remote reasons,” lol.)



  • I’ve been turned on to Notion by work, and now use it for my lil’ polycule as well — but I do want something … better.

    Unfortunately both logseq and Obsidian have way, way too much of a “text” focus for me, even with plugins; and way too little of a “data” focus — the real potential strength of Notionalikes is definitely in deep database features and integration; not ‘this is only useful if you type at a full keyboard for hours.’ At least to me. 🤣

    I’m pretty excited about http://anytype.io; but it’s in perpetual development/beta — still kinda barebones. It’s definitely got the correct focus, though? Chunks of data, not “articles” or “pages!”
