There is something evilly genius about those circles, and how they are constructed in a way that you can’t game the system. The way to get them all consistently, is to be active all day long. A mix of standing, moving, and activity bursts that works better than just counting steps.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

If I've accidentally invented a way to turn people's Notion exports into beautifully laid out e-books (that also look great in print), would anyone bother to use it?

Asking for a friend 👀

Stop calling it a Rust issue, OK?

It's an error caused by human negligence and miscommunication.

Like most bugs.

End of story.

They are both looking for the same thing: cheap dopamine.

It's amazing how such an old and dusty Mac app can be so effective in keeping you away from doomscroll black holes. It does so well, because it blocks them at the system's hosts level.

A 10/10 recommendation!

Finally, someone who’d talk about the (few) beauties of having #ADHD, not just about how freaking tough it is to live with a mind split in a thousand directions.

Apple's AI crawler bot (applebot) literally ransacked my website over the past 24 hrs.

For times like these, when you'd think the world is going nowhere, I've set up this @feedle.world RSS feed search. There is so much going on in health, but we are so deep in 💩reading about politics that we don't even notice it.

I am adding more feeds here from other science disciplines as well.

If you are in Germany (EU shipping is also an option), you can consider buying the #Supernote Nomad A6x2, I bought back in September. I had to acknowledge that the device just isn't for me, but can perfectly suit someone else.

Some days I wonder: if I ever got to finish writing this book, would anyone bother to read it?

A small act of genuine kindness echoes farther than shallow populism.

Moments like these, are what makes me keep bringing a camera with me. And, keep my hope in humanity.

Photos taken during the annual Pirin Ultra 160 km trail run last weekend.

Apparently, someone tripped up the router connecting #Google to South and Eastern Europe, and everyone is freaking out right now. No meetings today, I guess 😀

Happy to see, I've once again made it to the Golang Weekly. This time, with gomjml: www.golangweekly.com/issues/566

Added a new release of gomjml that adds significant performance improvements via opt-in template caching: github.com/preslavrache...

I mean, there is an official MJML JS compiler? Why did you need another version of it? Just call it from your Go app. Like, how slow can it be?

Very, very, very .... slow

Which is one of the reasons I created gomjml: github.com/preslavrache...

Do you also, sometimes, have this uneasy feeling when you get your photos out of your camera, and there are absolutely ZERO edits you want to do to them?

Like, social pressure wants you to turn the RAW files upside down, but to your subjective eye, the JPEGs are just 👌?

I want to be more mindful of my Claude Code usage throughout the day. So, I've put together a quick toolbar app thanks xbar and a Claude utill called ccusage.

If anyone's interested, I will write a short blog post these days.

P.S. Using Claude Pro, you still don't pay per token 😬
