Back when I was pursuing my Computer Science degree, one of the big questions that kept me busy was: what am I going to do after I graduate? I felt like I could work on pretty much anything, thanks to the solid foundations I received at the university and to my real-world experience contributing to Rust. So… what to choose? Lured into full-stack development After reading Never Eat Alone I decided to start meeting people in order to answer m..

In the summer of 2019 I became violently ill and lost the ability to eat gluten. Over the past two years I've slowly gained some tolerance back and I outline my plan herein to regain full tolerance for eating gluten.

It was only last week when I upgraded to Emacs 29.2. Yup, I was late to the party. This week, we have a new release. Emacs 29.3 is an emergency bugfix release , so this time I've upgraded promptly. I'm on macOS using the great Emacs Plus so upgraded via Homebrew using: brew reinstall emacs-plus@29 --with-imagemagick --with-no-frame-refocus --with-native-comp --with-savchenkovaleriy-big-sur-3d-icon --with-poll ps.

Back in 2019, Nick Fitzgerald published always bump downwards, an article making the case that for bump allocators, bumping “down” (towards lower addresses) is better than bumping up. The biggest reasons for this are bumping up requires 3 branches vs 2 for bumping down and rounding down requires fewer instructions than rounding up. This became the method used for the popular bumpalo crate. In this post, I want to go back and revisit that an..

Imagine the TV show Connections, but it’s a stream of consciousness series of errors because I’m an impulsive idiot. I’d call it Missed Conceptions. 1491, a book that came out in 2006, is a reframing of what the Americas (continents North and South) were like before Columbus arrived. Contrary to general colonist perception, the people […]

By default, Emacs typically displays curly arrows when wrapping lines. While likely a handy feature to some, I didn't really find much use for it. At the same time, I never looked into their removal until now. Turns out, there's a continuation entry in fringe-indicator-alist variable that handles this. Removing this entry also removes the curly arrows. (setq-default fringe-indicator-alist (delq (assq 'continuation fringe-indicator-alist....

Hi, hope you're good! I just thought — you know — when I stop and think for a minute — I should maybe tell someone that there's always more writing occurring at wiki.secretGeek.net — featured articles here: wiki.secretgeek.net/home/features and "Wiki's RSS feed" is here (ask grandma if you ain't sure what that would be). There's also activity at the "Today I learned" site — TIL.secretgeek.net — and so on. But the main ch..

Tailscale supports using a GitOps flow to manager ACLs for you’re tailnet. This involves configuring a GitHub Action then you commit the ACLs and the Action runs. Pretty cool right? I can see this being a great flow for larger Tailnets managed by multiple people. For me tho, with my homelab Tailnet, this was a bit heavy weight. What I wanted was: ACLs tracked in my HomeNet git repo which has all my homelab config Ability to easi..

Iceland is known to the rest of the world as the land of Vikings and volcanos, an island caught between continents at the extremities of the map. Remote and comparatively inhospitable, it was settled only as long ago as the 9th century, and has seen little additional in-migration since. Even today, more than 90 percent of Iceland’s 390,000 residents can trace their ancestry back to the earliest permanent inhabitants, a Nordic-Celtic mix. Th....
