I've been using my local LLM more for formatting text that I used to do manually or via besoke AST transform scripts. Stuff like "convert this jsdoc to typebox" or "take that function but add conditions for these other variable names". It's handy to save me time while I work on other stuff.
What I'm realizing is that I like typed languages, I'm just not a fan of half measures slapped on top of untyped languages.
Spent some time yapping with my musician friends about the holy wars programmers have around tabs vs spaces and where to put indentation.
Seems every community has a similar set of very divisive but benign sounding ongoing "debates".
Any #infosec folks with experience in hardening windows? Someone wants to automate it. Send me a DM if interested.
Love been in spaces where I'm not the most visibly queer person in the room 🥰

Someone on the Steam subreddit was asking for Valve to make a #SteamOS phone (seeing how the new VR headset is Arm but also playes x86 steam games). And I thought "Hey, I've already got #PostmarketOS on a phone. We know Valve is using some 'FEX' library. How hard could it be?"
As it turned out, remarkably easy. (Though, it helps that someone already wrote a guide for it: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam )
Pretty sure it's a YMMV situation, but my milage was pretty good.

It's always "School doesn't prepare us for Life well enough, we should be learning to do taxes instead of interpreting poetry" and never "Adult Life should be more poetry and less absurd and complicated tax rules"
How many engineers does it take to support EventEmitter in TypeScript out of the box? Trick question! Over a decade and millions of dollars is not enough to have support for the most common class in Node.js 🫠
It's not sleep deprivation, I'm just a "morning person" now.
Thought terminating phrase? I think you mean a "counterspell". 🌟

i saw this cursed monstrosity and now you get to too
fizzbuzz in 3 lines of code
li:is(:nth-child(3n), :nth-child(5n)) { list-style: none } li:nth-child(3n)::before { content: "Fizz" } li:nth-child(5n)::after { content: "Buzz" }

Ran into a problem in prod?
Just generate a fake cloudflare error page and blame it on them - gives you time to fix.
Evil idea: "Echo Chamber"
Mastodon instance that has a single human user and a bunch of LLMs that pretend to be their friends and form a parasocial social network. Orchestrator thinks of account "gimmicks" and configures posting frequency / response frequency.
Neat article looking at Post Quantum #Cryptography
Had to do a total rewrite of this MVP service, but it's fun because we no longer need "accounts" and auth is now done through cryptographic secrets.

"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?
The global town square means hearing lots of random yelling, I prefer small burrows you dig down into to find some creatures rambling about their niche interests,
Yeah the magnesium supplements are defs making my dreams weirder. OR at least I'm remembering more of the weird dreams.
