Today's script of the day is `parduck`, which opens up a parquet file in duckdb with a table name derived from the file.

Created because I always for the "CREATE TABLE" syntax for importing a parquet file into duckdb, even though it's very easy […]

@hrbrmstr just in the last 5 minutes, here's what we have from that AS

(we use neither jsp, nor wordpress, all just random vuln scanning)

Got my Lichess blitz rating back over 1800 for the first time in a while

(I never study, just play for kicks, so it fluctuates pretty randomly)

This weekend I took a hike up Mt Osceola with my family, it was a great hike on a lovely day. Attached is the view northwards to Mt. Washington. It was my boys' first 4000 foot hike in the Whites, and they did great.

I wanted to put up a photo gallery for my […]

I love how aggressively my office plant reaches for the sun

This squirrel on my neighbor’s roof has been shouting all morning and I would like it to stop

If you’ve never heard squirrels shout, consider yourself lucky.

I didn’t really want to see the time I guess

It’s actually bizarre they shipped this #ios26

Web scrapers are using random real sites as referrers in the hope of avoiding blocks.

I was wondering where all the hits from the Guardian and Edmunds were coming from

Iosevka Term is the greatest terminal font of all time, I am now thoroughly convinced. I switched to the fira code custom version and it's fantastic, lovely and condensed

Hiked 19 miles in the White Mountains yesterday, up Mt. Madison and all the way across the presidential range to Mt. Pierce.

Very intense experience; I didn't take many pictures because we didn't have a lot of time to stop and gawk, but here are a few I like […]

This image from the post shows the basic idea, pass context from a `git diff` to @simon's `llm` command with a code review system prompt, and highlight the output.

A lot of its suggestions are dumb for one reason or another, but enough are useful that it makes sense for me to read through them.

at Glacier national park for a work retreat. Pretty spectacular scenery.

First one is avalanche lake from a beautiful 8-mile run, second one down the Lake Mcdonald valley, third one from a trail run behind our hotel.

I forgot the bear spray for that run but thankfully was not eaten by a grizzly

@nelson I've had a lot of success using it alongside my code in vim with https://codecompanion.olimorris.dev in a much more tactical way - I'll give it context manually and prompt it for what I want, then copy it over into the code or make changes to it and do […]

seems like today is a "small commands" day. Here's a script to check NCAA scores without having to open up the site in my browser:

The LLM helped me generate an insane jq/awk monstrosity

I got tired of figuring out how to convert times between unix times and local/UTC times, so I wrote this `,time` command to make my life easier.

You can input time as any of a whole bunch of common formats or as a unix time, and it prints it out in unix s, ms […]

This prometheus graph isn't useful, but it is pretty
