@foone I've heard chores like this referred to as "shaving one's yak", or "yak shaving", a term that broadly means something that does not obviously accomplish any goal but will make accomplishing other goals easier in the future.It's a concept I'm excited about. I spent today building a Rust version of nvr (program that, when called with a file argument from a terminal emulator inside of Neovim, will open that file in the parent copy of Neovim), complete with the ability to stream from stdin to a new Neovim buffer and allow the user to begin to edit the file while the program generating it is still running, which I'm immensely proud of even though I didn't make any progress on my actual projects today. When I can convince myself to do it, it pays dividends.I just really wish Nix didn't generate quite so many endless headaches, so I didn't keep putting off fixing my home-manager configuration for months at a time.

it is utterly news to me that there exists a project @foone considers too silly to attempt

@link contrary to what you might think, this isn't just half life 2. it's a choose your own adventure game set in the half life universe and the characters are weirdly stylized and also almost photorealistic. also you can play it on netflix for some reason.(fr tho MCSM got a lot of hate and after playing it i genuinely do not understand why)

@pkw @david_chisnall doesn't have the bandwidth to...store a file of birthdays and run a service to allow programs to query the user's age?

@foone okay maybe *building* it would be a bad idea but you gotta at least tell us what it is

@futurebird when handwriting about technical topics, I write in cursive and then print words or phrases that I would put in a monospace font if I was typing

@discatte you say this as though there are not muliple companies building LLM wrappers which bill themselves as friends for people who have none

@discatte but yeah i had a friend come to me yesterday with a problem regarding avoiding expensive reallocations while successively adding fields to a struct over multiple data passes that i am 98% confident an LLM would not have been able to solve and thinking about how cool it was that my human meat juices could come up with a solution in no time flat
