In putIdent, if err != nil, then I think you’ll want to return err!

gah Mario Kart always has the sickest arrangements... I don't have a Switch 2 yet but really need to dig into this OST!

anytype — the everything app for those who celebrate trust & autonomy.

I just discovered anytype.io - so far it seems most similar to Notion, but open-source, local-first, E2EE and a pretty thoughtful team behind it

... with a #yolo mode that *ensures* they're left unresolved, for when you're feeling extra spicy

Message from a recruiter: Hi Andrew, I hope you’re doing well! I came across your profile and was impressed by your experience in [mention relevant experience — e.g., architecture leadership, scalable backend systems, or cloud engineering]. We're currently hiring...

Hi [insert recruiter name]!

If this is a bit, we're gonna get along juuust fine.

If one is interested in two roles, would it be best (for both the candidate and Oxide) to submit a single, comprehensive set of materials and include a note about it? Or fine-tune and submit two applications, despite the inevitable overlap in content?

Naturally! There’s something to be said for a game that can nerd-snipe you into replicating itself

Chart showing the max set size for a given number of hash digits and collision tolerance.

So you memorized the first few digits of a hash, hoping you'll be able to recognize or tab-complete it later.

How many digits do you need to remember?

Depends on the number of items in your set. Turns out just 2-3 digits goes pretty far for some use cases!

Yes! This got so bad that I once used a word in dream that I’m pretty sure daytime me had never even heard before.

Woke up like “wtf was that word?” and eventually found it a few chapters later 🫠

o3-mini-high is the first OpenAI model I've tested that gets this right:

You have 12 blocks. They all weigh the same except one, which might be heavier or lighter. You can use a scale 3 times to find the odd block and whether it's heavier or lighter.

Whoa, TIL.

I also only recently learned about -P for parallel mode, which eliminates most of my need for GNU parallel (thank goodness).

"Poco" might be my favorite track - kinda reminds me of Pat Metheny.

YouTube video by F4m1LyGuy10 Full Arc the Lad OST

I never played Arc the Lad (1995) but this album is just full of bangers.

My 2-year-old son recently started asking me to play Frozen songs in German (his grandma is German).

It’s amazing to me that he has a complete-enough mental model of the world to guess that German Frozen might be a thing!

Thank you!

Please forgive my ignorance: so this feature is an annotation showing the compiler's inlining decisions? Or a refactoring tool that can replace a function call with its source code?

> I hate that it doesn’t have types. It’s totally YOLO

Maybe someone already mentioned this on Twitter, but: check out STRICT tables!

I’ve never touched LSP, but this seems like a decent learning entry point! Thanks again for the info.

Nice! So in theory, I could wire up the same thing for neovim?

Awesome, thanks! I’ll look into both of those.

Where would I look to find out more about gopls’s capacity to consume the compiler decisions?

Do any #golang neovim plugins or language servers show which functions will be inlined by the compiler?

For small, performance-sensitive projects, I’d be fine with an asynchronous `go build` on every :w if it meant I could see this information right there in the editor.

Love this post!

I feel like "wait, maybe this a buffering thing" is a cousin of "wait, maybe it's only listening on 127.0.0.1" haha

btw, I definitely had to double-check but I think it's `PYTHONUNBUFFERED` (no underscore): github.com/python/cpyth...

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you do now:

- Video game music composer
- Lab TA for microcontrollers class
- High school band instructor & arranger
- Teaching drum lessons
- Neighborhood lawn mowing (to buy my first computer!)
