Introduction¶
An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks.
Mechboards¶
I've enjoyed using the odd mechanical keyboard for a few years now. Nothing too fancy. Every once in a while I get the urge to really get into the mechanical keyboard world. Knowing that this shop exists might make it harder to resist falling down that hole.
Finger: the 1971 social network that never died¶
Great little blog post that is a good introduction to Finger, for those who might be too young to know about it.
Felony Bench¶
Site that tracks questionable behaviour, or at least claims of questionable behaviour, by LLMs/agents.
Stop Using Conventional Commits¶
Even though I use emoji-based prefixes for commits on my personal projects (mostly just for the shits and giggles of it), I detest the "Conventional Commits" thing. I sense this post captures some of why I don't like it.
Thinking in Python¶
There's a lot I see in this book that I like. I feel this is a good book to point folk at, either people who have never worked with Python before, or people who want to get better with it.
Configuring Emacs Eglot for Better Performance and Latency¶
I use Eglot lots, every day, and have been for quite a while now (even since before it was part of Emacs itself). However, I've never really paid too much attention to its performance or how it can be improved. This is a useful read.
What's New in Emacs 31.1?¶
Everything new in Emacs 31.1 that's worth knowing about.
DHH¶
An excellent lesson in how not to handle feedback and how to make yourself look like you align with the worst of the worst.
An unofficial guide to markdown-ts-mode on Emacs 31¶
I've had good experiences with various tree-sitter modes in Emacs and I use the Markdown mode in Emacs a lot. So this feels like something I need to try out.
termframe¶
I feel like this is begging to be wrapped up in a Textual widget...
Gerbil Scheme¶
This looks like a fun Scheme to play with at some point.
