This Week
Workwise, I am deep in planning for the second half of the year. For recreation I am hoping to learn a bunch from Alice's Adventures in a Differentiable Wonderland.
Recently
I have been getting a lot of mileage out of using Gemini for research and Claude Sonnet for AI pair programming. Currently a bit of a fan of Aider and aidermacs for my vibe coding needs.
I am test driving git-delta for prettified side-by-side diffs on the git command line.
I am still learning to type again. It turns out that the switch from an ISO layout back to ANSI
after 20 odd years is causing me grief. My newlines often get a \
mixed in and tilde is 3 rows
higher than expected.
I spent some time avoiding Emacs package bankruptcy. A recent package install broke Magit so I decided it was time to update all installed packages and prune out all the things I no longer use.
I also turned on which-key-mode
to help discoverability. I've been using Emacs for decades but
there is plenty I have not learned about yet. The gem I learned this week is the C-x 8 e
emoji
keymap.
When Linux kernel 6.12 was released my small contribution to it meant I had made 100 commits to the project:
