Next issue on CachyOS: I got the arduino IDE working, but it refuses to create new sketches so now I'm stuck with the same sketch

I'm also noticing performance degrades seriously after 30 minutes using it. It's not a particularly powerful laptop but it should be more than able to run all this

Writing ad-hoc schema based parsers brings me a kind of joy I don't find while solving other kinds of problems

Niri is gucci, good stuff

I installed CachyOS on one of my laptops and chose Hyprland as the window manager.

The experience is very cursed, the top bar doesn't even show so I had to install and configure it from scratch, plugins don't work as advertised(looking at hy3), it's not clear what hyprlock is supposed to do, and a long etc.

Very odd to be honest given the praise it gets, I'll probably reinstall with a different DE.

Saying this probably makes me unhireable but I came to the realization that I much prefer building tooling to building products.
With the former I can spend time researching and taking care of the foundations, in a good day from first principles.
The latter removes "engineering" part of SE ime.
I can definitely still do the latter, doing my job matters more than my personal preference there, but I'd rather do something else.

code is flagged as unused, gets removed
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unused
code gets added again in a new change
refactor flags it as unu

Papers and thesis are so full of slop it's unbelievable. If it's not 50 cites per sentences, it's 50 pages wasted on explaining the history of the fried shrimp, I don't give a shit tell me what your contribution is already holy fucking shit how can academics be so dense.

I'm deep into parsing lately and looking for ways to improve tracing of the parser because it can get to a point where it's hard to track what it's doing
This paper seems interesting in that regard: Visualizing Visual Parser Executions by Gennaro Costagliola, Mattia De Rosa

More people should use jj, git feels so primitive and wrong after being spoiled by jj
I've run into situations where I start to pile up commits, then realize I should split into multiple PRs and with jj it's rather easy, but in git it's an absolute nightmare unless you use 3rd party tools

I spent an ungodly amount of time when working on Sourceror figuring out overlapping edits for code mods and reading the LSP spec I see Microsoft just gives up:

Text edits ranges must never overlap, that means no part of the original document must be manipulated by more than one edit.

I hope once I finish this damn kitchen renovation I've been working on for months now I will be more compelled to cook some healthier stuff.
Until now I have never lived in a place with the tools nor the space to cook something decent, it's depressing to make space every time you have to cook.
And if I'm not compelled then I no longer have excuses to start working on that.

There is no connector for my electrical conduit and the light fixture, all the commercially available options look horrible.
Then I remembered I have free will and a 3d printer. The connector is printing right now.
