I just looked, and I could retire right now if we moved to Winnepeg. Naturally Mrs. GrooveStomp would never agree.

Back to thinking I should get an offline PDA paired with a really dumb phone.

@minimaldotclick @neauoire A true memex like Bush describes would be amazing.I am very curious if you find something reasonable.Org-mode is the closest I've found so far, but it is a pale shadow of what Bush describes and clunky as heck to use, so I only use it in a very limited capacity in practice.

That face when the only embedded development pitch at the conference is about Rust.

Did some baseball with the kids. This was a great arrangement!The 8 year old can already throw and catch well, so she worked on batting.The 5 year old played catcher and got to work on catching and throwing.I did pitching and fielding.

I had a thought yesterday that some form of interactive programming including sights and sounds might suit me as a form of creative output.I've found little or no satisfaction in attempting game programming. I've had success with drawing, painting and to a much lesser extent, music creation (both analog and digital) by my strongest skill is with programming, so it would be great to leverage that if possible.I dunno; just a thought. I've never done this kind of creative programming before.

I think automobile companies have contributed significantly to the world being as fucked up as it is right now.I also think cars are really cool.

One of my to-do items today is to write to-do items for a conglomerate of thoughts I have on a subject.

@Clifford It is a lot of effort for me to do just two loops, but some guys here work it like it's butter. 🙂

It appears my midlife crisis involves listening to NOFX and skating bowls.

I quit working and quit software due to extreme burnout and a loss of faith in the domains I was exposed to. (Web, AAA Videogames)Projects like #uxn are enough to spark my interest, but any time I interact with the mainstream computing world I immediately get that sense of burnout again.I still don't know what the future holds, but I am enjoying downtime while I have it. If we could move away from here then we would have way more options for job/life balance, but that remains a dream for now.

Scheduling and coordination take up a lot of energy and time. I have consistently made the mistake throughout my life of not considering these things to be "real" work. Hindrances, things that prevent real work... but this is a mental trap that begets overtime and overwork.

I did my first manual transmission driving lesson today and skated two skateparks. Awesome people everywhere. What a great day it's been!

@insurgentem I'm having a hard time visualizing this. 🙂Right now I need PRACTICE. I have all the pieces, but it's a very deliberate effort. I stalled about 1/3rd of the time going from stopped to first gear. 😆 I'm also extremely slow to get going in first.Friends have suggested I buy a used manual transmission car and do Skip the Dishes, Uber Eats and that kind thing to pay for the car and get the practice. This might be a GREAT idea.

@insurgentem Ah, downshift throttle blip. I've been playing with this in my sim games, but sim is different from real life, of course.

I'm using C++ 17 with GCC as the compiler.If I specify no optimizations, it runs fine.If I specify O1 or O2 then I get a failure to initialize the vulkan instance.If I explicitly specify all the flags that O1 and/or O2 imply, then it works without issue.

Seeing similar behavior with llvm, although I haven't tried explicitly specifying all the optimization flags there.Time to run valgrind and some other tools to see what's up.
