Perhaps we just call it SEMantic versioning. Shame-Eh-Mega-antic versioning. Or Shamanic versioning, SHame-Apathetic-Mega-anic versioning.

It’s insane to me that people still think the solution to all of our problems is to use AI, a technology that has yet to reliably solve any actual problems.

I need to embrace this more

I think over the coming weekend, I want to learn more about Visual Pinball (VPX) in order to get into developing pinball machines. I love Pinball and the idea of learning to program them sounds incredibly fun!

I want a pinball machine in my home office. If I got that and a good Mame arcade cabinet both, I'd be set. Talk about a stimulation heaven for me, LOL.

Wanting to get into embedded/automotive programming. Thinking I'll get started via telemetry tooling using ACC and games. Would love to see if I could eventually find a way to hack around with my Honda civic.

I don't suppose there is anybody who will read this that happens to have experience/knowledge around software development in the F1/Indycar/racing space?

Our attachment to having what we want and to getting rid of what we do not want brings us out of the present moment and immerses us in the mind's incessant storylines.

I'm feeling in the mood to get back to building up my math skills and knowledge! I want to build up enough that I can apply to theory/knowledge of computation itself and help hone my "from first principles" concepts as a software developer and tech lover. I've long been inspired by more mathematical and scientifically-driven thinkers.

By bringing our attention to the here and now, we can experience things as they are, not as the mind says things are. This is the platform on which self-care and behaviors that are directed toward a life in alignment with values can take place.

This graphic (where your writes to disk go) is worth every developer printing out and attaching to your desk. It's not just a database thing. It's for anyone who ever writes a file.

have you found your ikigai, your "reason for being" yet?

How a Stoic responds to political turmoil.

Why is my brain wired to wonder about playing around with some assembly on a Commodore 64 to dive into the QuickDraw/MacPaint source code in a different way :P. computerhistory.org/blog/mac…. Really wish I could justify a @MEGA65Retro .... Droooooooool.

Thinking of picking up an old recycled laptop (perhaps Thinkpad or something) to throw Linux on and to use as a coding/surfing/research machine that is portable.

Between Efficiency Mode and features like Recall, I feel like Windows quickly becomes less and less of a viable option for a development machine. Toooooooo much waste and too many interfering system processes causing frequent pain and friction.

Oh how much I wish I could burn Windows 11 Efficiency Mode in a fire right now. Yet another perf issue that amounted to Efficiency Mode being flagged/turned on for a process (no, not by a user, and even with Performance Mode).

It's like extended stored procedures in SQL Server all over again 🤣
