A slide contrasting “filesystem” and “cloud” apps. Filesystem apps delegate version management, concurrent change resolution, and access control to the user, while cloud apps deal with them in the application.
Thanks! I think this is the one.

"CRDTs as a temporal data structure"
@paulbutler.org gave a brilliant talk, explaining how to use the Yjs CRDT toolkit to store temporal data.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1955, Pope Leo XIV graduated from Villanova with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1977. The pope is a member of the Augustinian religious order and was elected the top leader of the order twice.
When I was getting my BMath people would ask “oh, what will you do with that, teach?” and I’m jealous of people taking math now who can come back with “yeah that or pope”.

Claude Code now supports resuming sessions, which means that session logs (including tool/llm calls) are stored locally. My curiosity got to me, I figured out the format and wrote a CLI tool to dump specific conversations github.com/paulgb/claud...

It just dynamically reads the date, touches the file in case it doesn't exist, and opens it up. It also opens the directory as the workspace so that I can see past notes in the sidebar.

28.04.2025 15:21 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Ideally the system would be able to recognize if files changed since the last build, I already do this for e.g. vercel sites in a monorepo and it works fine.

28.04.2025 14:59 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0frontend + backend ideally, but even just static apps (with a build step) would work.
one password across all, or else oauth with approved users on a per-app basis
subdomains under the same domain would be ideal, i.e. repo/foo would map to foo.mydomain .com
Now that it's so easy to create software for personal use, I want a way to have a bunch of personal mini apps in a monorepo and automatically deploys all of them behind basic password auth.
Before I build it, does this exist? Ideally something I can self-host on a VPS.
This is a talk I've wanted to give for a while, and I can't think of a better place to give it!

The dots came out nicely, I’m surprised not to see artifacts of the spiral.

Two post cards, one in the left has two faces plotted in a pointillist style, and the one on the right has variations of the word “FUCK” stamped in different colors. A booklet on top shows a picture of the stamping process.
Always nice getting surprise #ptpx mail!

Thinking about failure scenarios like a series of failures dampening political support, or global events destroying the necessary conditions.
Reimbursement form with a "Merchant" dropdown. "Lyf" is entered as a search query and the results are "Lyft" and "Onlyfans"
are there really so many people expensing onlyfans that it needs to be in the autocomplete dropdown 🫣
