I got a flood of recruitment posts for Go positions after changing my profile on LinkedIn to "one-dan Go player". 🤦

🧵1/4 I'm a Go player (the ancient Chinese board game). It's a wonderfully deep game and it forces you to train your mind in many ways. These lessons often apply to the rest of life and maybe I'll share more of them later.

The only reason to post on LinkedIn is to market yourself and then people react to each other in the hopes of marketing themselves. It's such a weird community.

1/5 Inspired by @conrad.cafe, I'll also post about my experience getting diagnosed for ADHD. I've always been a talented kid, which means I never had to study in school. I usually spent the time in class either attempting to sleep or learning programming on my laptop.

I feel like cool is the enemy of good in software development. It is difficult to get yourself to finish and polish the boring core features of a program, when you could add something cool (*cough*, Logseq). So many open source programs fall into this trap, being cool but seldom good.

7.3 MB of JS and a 3.5s load time for a blog. This stuff hurts my soul. baduk.news

Bruh. GitHub locked me out. I can't contact support because that requires logging in, which I can't do because it's restricted.

I have made a realization. It makes so much more sense to sort your email inbox by oldest first.

Next.js has a vulnerability that lets users skip all middleware, including auth. This is beyond critical, so do update. zhero-web-sec.github.io/research-and...

New post dropped. It's a distillation of a lot of pain and exploration, most of which sadly had no reason to be mentioned. seequ.dev/posts/006-fa...

So someone compromised Google pretty effectively. gist.github.com/zachlatta/f8...

Pivoted to a simple incremental game to get practice in before making the game I actually want to make. This might become quite a fun dopamine mill. :D

Apparently Google lets advertisers decide the displayed link irrespective of the actual link. > Google is serving sponsored links to a Homebrew site clone that has a cURL command to malware. agora.echelon.pl/notice/AqFeA...

#gamedev trick: If you need to calculate the sum of a bunch of random events, it can be approximated very cheaply using the normal approximation of binomial distributions. Quick writeup since bsky posts can only be so long: seequ.dev/posts/005-bi...

Rabbit hole: 1. Start making a game. 2. Decide to script it with lua for easy moddability. 3. Realize I now need to describe the UI in lua too, 4. Realize no existing GUI library does quite what I want and plays well with lua. 5. Make my own.

What is Apple up to?

The actual next generation of UI development? pangui.io

Never forget YAML is a superset of JSON. if you dislike YAML, you can just dump JSON into the YAML file and call it a day.

I have spent the last five hours trying to get Plex to *not* show subtitles and I'm about to break something.

There's some serious irony in the CSS Working Group having such a hideous blog. www.w3.org/blog/CSS/

Short writeup on using the date extension in sieve rules. It was surprisingly difficult to find good information on this. seequ.dev/posts/004-of...

I just want to say Fastmail is fantastic. www.fastmail.com

Apparently triggering links on mousedown is very controversial. I use it on my own sites since I find the user experience superior. Saving a good 100ms is significant. And holding a mouse in place during a click is harder than you might think if you're disabled. What are your thoughts on it?
