TRUMP: No you don't. No.

Do any of you switch between light/dark mode regularly? My terminal can support switching different themes based on light/dark mode, which is great. But my in-terminal text editor doesn't, nor do any of my other terminal tools (e.g. fancy git diff viewers)

I'm only partway through @jyn.dev's excellent blog post, and I love it so much that I insist you all read it. jyn.dev/the-terminal...

To redesign infrastructure, you have to allow incremental adoption, while simultaneously moving the whole design space at once.

Today's a public holiday, and I spent most of the day doing all the life admin, paperwork and emails that I'd been putting off for weeks because I was either busy with work or childcare. Now I have a quiet day alone to do it, no distractions. Phew.

Austin Systems meets again next week! We've got two talks lined up (audio programming, which fascinates me, and Cloudflare Network Connect, where companies directly connect their private infra to Cloudflare). Come along! Details at austinsystems.org

Can we please stop calling it a bike shed? I keep my motorcycle and my scooter there too. I think "vehicle storage shed" would be a much better name, but I'm willing to discuss this for as long as it takes for everyone to feel like we have an accurate name.

Scipy is a phenomenal library. It's not every day that one can beat its performance by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Today is that day, though!
Must-read post if you care about any of:
- high performance Rust
- numerical methods
- how Rust can make Python faster

Take a look under the hood of the state of the art in grid interpolation in Rust and Python!
Come for the compile-time loop unrolling, stay for the profile-guided optimization!

Only remembered to take pics halfway through eating. But. Tonight's dinner was lamb kofta (heavily seasoned with lots of herbs and spices) and a quick roast veggie plate (green beans and peppers). Pls imagine these bowls as 2-3x as full.

our short story book club read "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" by F. Scott Fitzgerald this week. It's definitely one of my favorites we've read. Certainly top 5. You can find it on Anna's Archive or other free book websites. It's 30 pages, well worth the read.
