Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

goodbye to you who has come to zombocom

I finally set up split dns and subnet routes in Tailscale so I can make a db connection to RDS. Why didn't I do this years ago? Tailscale rules.

breakpoint() and friends are still great, and pytest --pdb is hard to argue with. I really lean on DAP at work, because our dev env is in compose and getting a command line breakpoint is a headache. Thus, not having DAP in nvim kept me opening vscode.

I've been coping with reality by tending my neovim garden. Today, I got DAP working, and can debug things at work now. I've been coding strictly in (neo)vim all week, for the first time in 8 years.

Reject modernity, embrace tradition.

As a distraction, I've put asahi + nixos on my personal mbp. When events are overwhelming, its important to give yourself some unnecessary computer problems, as a treat.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

is GitHub also going to start charging per second you stare at their diffing that takes a full minute to load

lol @ GitHub charging for self-hosted action minutes now.

Today I learned that the 'Check for Update' button in my car's multimedia system does not check the internet for updates. It checks the USB port.

Kahless tells us that someone who is lying to themselves can't be honest with you. Beware those whose confidence betrays their delusion, and strive to be honest with yourself. That way lies truth, if not glory.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Did some vibe coding today, am I doing it right?

Map of local National Weather Service office "areas of responsibility" modified (using polygons with black outlines and red fill) to indicate where recent/expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS have resulting in understaffing so extreme that some offices can not longer operate on a 24/7 basis.

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

The first speed-bump from trying #jj-vcs at work, hooks aren't a thing and pre-commit certainly isn't a thing. It seems like work is in flight, but I'll be back to `make fix` and `make check` for a while

2. I want my nvim hacking loop to be very tight. kickstart-nix.nvim gives me a nvim-dev that works off a symlinked nvim config, and doesn't require the config to be hermetic. Great for tight hacking loops, and then I can commit and `nix-darwin -- switch` and I have my repeatable env again.

What I learned:
1. I don't want to write lua through writing nixlang. It's the worst part about nix for me, being a special language with really bad error messages.

Catching up on where this landed, I ended up deriving a config from github.com/nix-communit... and ditching nixvim. I don't want to throw shade on nixvim, it's a cool project. I had a few reasons to switch over, which I think were good for me.

Taking away the question of "When do I make a commit?" is HUGE. Also the ability to describe what I'm _going_ to do, and not what I _did_.

Can't wait to try and use #jj when I need to do actual work for pay, and not for saturday couch coding.

At a prior gig, I used gerrit and patch based review, along with git-repo. I spent a lot of time woking in detached-heads almost exclusively and lived in the reflog.

That *felt* like a good flow even though its an insane way to use git, and I think jj might be like that but good?

In the almost exactly 20 years (!!!) I've been using git, my workflows have changed a lot.

Today, I do a lot of interactive rebase, and stacking PRs in Github even though that sucks. Lots of amending, lots of faffing around with history to get things reviewable.

I'm taking a crack at learning `jj` today. So far, it's mind expanding. Automatic commits are such a darn good idea, I can't believe I'm not working that way already.

I'm officially on PTO. This seems like a great time to hack on my nixvim config. I'd love to get back to work afterward without vscode.

I got my last tax doc for 2024. Big day.
