New Features

Keyd is a daemon written by rvaiya that lets you customize how your Linux computer listens to your keyboard. It gives normal keyboards plugged into your computer only qmk or custom firmware keyboards get.

The idea is to create an interesting automated card game experience. Title is placeholder for now. But here are some assets that I’ve created for this

I’m finding that I’m using devenv far more often in my projects, including my blog!

I’ve done a lot of DE switches through these past few years. And I’ve always been a fan of PopOS’s tiling features and I’ve tried many tiling window managers to find that most of them are not for me.

Do you ever remember finally getting something to work, and then deciding that you wouldn’t touch the computer ever again in fear that it might randomly stop working? What if this was problem went from a fear of the machine down to a single file? What if you didn’t have to be afraid ever again?

My old keyboard is basically cheating and so is Razer’s new keyboard.

I don’t like using LLM’s like chatGPT or copilot to complete my code for me. I want to remember the code, and letting something else type for me doesn’t help me with that. My goal is to be able to write code without looking up any syntax. Wasting my time and others looking for programming I’ve done before. I want to get better at coding. I want to use an LLM to guide my programming when I get lost, or if my code structure starts to turn into spaghetti.

I heard from somewhere that formatters are going to slow down the top percentage of programmers. Let’s talk about that.

Learning is hard. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. This post is more of a reminder to myself about why challenging yourself is important.

Cooking System Configs

Here’s how my day goes. I sit down at my computer, and if I’m not working I’m dragged back into config land. I’ve got years of experience messing around with configurations at this point, and I want to share how not to do things.

I’ve gone on a software spiritual journey to cut down my config from my https://astronvim.com “beginner” config to something more simple and something I can almost understand.

Introduction:

As a software developer, having a fast and efficient code editor is crucial for productivity. After watching a Primagen video on his Neovim config, I was inspired to delve into configuring this code editor to achieve optimal performance. In this blog post, I share my experience and insights gained throughout this process.

Whether or not you realize it default settings on software is incredibly critical for users. For most users, having to change settings is too much friction to start using your software. Your software is only as good as it’s defaults.

I’m posting this because I couldn’t find any solutions online.

I’ve been looking into CloudFlare’s other options, currently I’m using it for my DNS and this website’s hosting, but I’ve been thinking about doing more.

This post, like most post is just a reminder to my future self.

Game jams are events where you make a game in a limited amount of time with a small team or alone. Usually game jams are pretty stressful unless you really know what you are doing. There’s plenty that happen all of the time. Usually they happen on the weekends, but some last weeks or even a whole month.

Here’s a quick rundown of what I’m going to be running on my phone.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m going to blame it on my recent issues with Godot development for Oculus Quest.

Hi, I woke up today wanting to make my Raspberry Pi even more useful.

Hello! I’ve been bingeing more YouTube content recently and I discovered that there was something called Wave Function Collapse. Basically, given a grid, and some tiles with special rules, write an algorithm that places those tiles in the grid following those rules. Basically Sudoku but more generalized.

It’s hard to remember sometimes that things lead to their opposites. That in order to be hungry, you must have been full. In order for you to be happy, you must have some kind of sadness to compare the experience to.

Hello again, been busy working on an AI for a class I’m taking, strange issues with keras and data cardinality are stopping progress currently.

The OP-1 is a computer-keyboard sized synth with just enough capability to mostly replace a DAW.

I tend to spend some of my time browsing YouTube looking for memes and cool computer science stuff. Recently, I got recommended a video called “Why Gifted Kids Are Actually Special Needs” which seems to explain a good amount of my highschool experience. The video explains a lot about high expectations and how they can lead to unnecessary pressure which can only make things worse. With that in mind, here’s how my experience went.

Last Post:

I wanted to find something similar to a personal database without having to actually write any database code. Ideally this would be for non-programmers, or tired programmers. Something to hold literally everything and keep it synced between devices with something like syncthing or something built in.

Background Info

I’ve been watching youtube programmers for a while now, and recently I was watching a Kalle Hallden youtube video.

The following logic has been brewing in the back of my brain for a few years. Not all of it I personally believe, but a good amount of it seems to be a little bit insightful. A work of fiction.

QR codes are quite handy for quickly sharing physically relevant information. For example, restaurant menus, instruction manuals, etc.

Last night I had a hard time sleeping.

The internet has reached a stage that I feel comfortable in calling pretty darn fast. The only problem is that we need to physically wire our devices together in order for them to become useful. Quantum Internet is a theoretical invention where, because of Quantum entaglement, we can enstablish secure, remote connections with other devices without a physical connection to an ISP. Instead, communication would happen at the quantum level, perfectly instant at any distance.

Podcasts are getting quite good recently, so I’ve decided to recommend some podcasts and software I use for accessing them.

You might have noticed that posts now has a few extra little widgets and layout enhancements, and that’s because you’re right!

Hello, just wanting to wish everyone a happy new year! To start of the new year, I want to review the software I’m using this year, and mention the software I’m looking forward to using:

RSS is an amazing tool for staying up to date across thousands of websites, but something mission critical is missing. There simply isn’t anything to that will recommend new feeds. This makes building up your feed list a hastle, especially if websites don’t list their feed urls anywhere. As I’ve continued to use RSS, I see an increase in it’s value as a tool to create a more decentralized and safer internet.

Needed something to post, so here’s some tips to make life on the command line a breeze.

Programming projects help programmers get better. I’m publicly announcing a project every week on Monday with the goal of helping you get better at programming along with me.

Programming projects help programmers get better. I’m going to start publicly doing some to increase specific skills I want to work on.

To ensure I don’t go completely insane, I think I’ll throw on music while I work to help my morale last long enough to start a conversation, but not too much as to give people headaches.

t Honex, we’re bee.

• String a new helmet to me!
• What 0900 at ther car!
• A little bit out! So be a be gonna takes an amusement packing to lose.
• No, it’s a Korean deli on Earth. You know what it? I’m gonna takes?
• Hey, you died. Make to, bears an animals? Trying whole like it was a way out. Stellar!
• Bye. It’s no talk to be back. Yeah. Gusty. Wow. This close? Ken, coolest. What’s a lot of it got a must a cours? Nah. Bees an all depends on what week? You got to. Oh, my!

The growing complexity in computer science and electronics influences everyone.

Every programmer has used a development stack. A framework, an API, or maybe a template. Anything that makes money with each use is incentivised to make sure that you, as the developer never switch to an alternative or stop using it. This means that they are also incentivised to make sure that the API becomes deeply implanted into the system that you make.

Everyone has some amount of this feeling. An ominous feeling of almost guilt, or fear of what’s up ahead. Whether its a homework assignment, a test, or maybe an important meeting, a flight you can’t miss, or really anything that you aren’t looking forward to.

Motivation is overrated.

Hello and welcome to my second ever blog post…
