it involved word wrap breaking on mobile in pre tags. side benefit -- this will double check

put some inline code in here and it'll look pretty OK!You can even put a block of code

tabs or spaces? I don't care I'm a computer program.
indeed.
02:13 PM | 2020-05-24
WOW -- ~thoughts~ got a lot more stars really fast. Time to cut some panic-releases :P
10:12 PM | 2020-05-23
I'd say I'm surprised that my awk kludge isn't working but I'm not :P
12:21 PM | 2020-05-23
OK, I think I've figured out a way forward that I feel good about, and by extension it decreases the scope of capabilities that thoughts has (not supporting much markdown -- or any, really).
This is probably good. The solution involves still turning newlines into break tags, but only in some circumstances.
I think it's important for this particular tool that newlines in the input are represented as newlines in the output. Since HTML treats newlines the way it does, this means you have to shove break in there, or alternatively put every post inside of a pre tag. The pre tag option is a non-starter, because it would have way too many other formatting side-effects.
The plus side of *all* this is that it clarifies what "done" is for this program. That's great -- I think I needed that :P
09:26 AM | 2020-05-23
Today I Learned: forcibly converting all newlines to break tags in ~thoughts~ has some...plan-ruining side-effects.
Ya can't parse markdown if every newline gets turned into a break.
Woof. I need more coffee.

First test post from OpenBSD in Vagrant?
06:57 AM | 2020-05-22
Good morning! This morning, I'm going to do some ~thoughts~ testing on OpenBSD, just to see how everything behaves.
I've been using shellcheck --shell=ksh during development, but surely that doesn't tell us the whole story.
All my personal computers use Debian, so I'll be using vagrant for this.
07:08 PM | 2020-05-21
Aaaaand a few point releases cut because there were immediately bugs! Lol.
06:57 PM | 2020-05-21
release cut!
06:20 PM | 2020-05-21
Time to cut a release?
04:45 PM | 2020-05-21
Just posting to sync a local CSS fix :)
04:42 PM | 2020-05-21
thoughts has gotten a lot of new features in the last few days, and I'm really excited to cut another "release" tonight :D
It feels funny to refer to them as releases, first because these are still all 0.x releases, and second because I'm mostly disregarding the semver rules (one friend told me that everything below 1.x doesn't have to follow any real rules and I just believed her)
09:38 AM | 2020-05-21
good morning! I definitely didn't get enough sleep, but I did get to have a lovely phone call with a friend this morning :)
01:49 AM | 2020-05-21

I'm so glad there's a free font CDN that serves the Liberation family now!
Maybe there already was. But if so, I hadn't found it. It's https://fonts.xz.style/
05:11 PM | 2020-05-20
apparently vscode doesn't default to including a newline at EOF?
This seems like...unacceptably unusual behavior compared to all other editors?
It's a feature you can enable. But you still have to enable it?

OK, should be fixed now :)

Good morning! This morning's ~thoughts~ work is CSS related.
Today I learned that HTML5 has inline italics and bold tags -- very useful.

No POSIX filesystem hierarchy standard?
09:01:35 AM | 2020-05-18
ugh. this is great. I really wish I'd become a ~shell hacker~ like, 15 years sooner
08:58:30 AM | 2020-05-18
alright, first post from what might be the next point release of thoughts
maximum portable. such posix
10:10:50 PM | 2020-05-17
too bad I have to do the dishes before going to bed. That might be the only bad part of my whole weekend :P
10:05:45 PM | 2020-05-17
happy sunday! I had a good weekend, and I hope you did too <3
08:46:45 PM | 2020-05-17
so the primary lift for thoughts right now is "make it portable." What does that mean?
It means that the shell code should run on any POSIX shell -- sh, dash, ksh, bash, all of them. That means there's a lot of very convenient (and easy to miss!) bash features that we can't use.
It means that the coreutils invoked to do things like "write the date" or "replace this character with something else" or "copy this file to another place" must use a subset of available features that's supported on all unix systems. The specification is here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/idx/utilities.html
Tracking down all these edgecases and figuring out how to keep everything as POSIXy as possible has turned out to be ~one of the most fun problems I've ever had to solve~
07:58:16 PM | 2020-05-17
check check
Sunday | 2020-05-17 | 07:54:48 PM
OK i was wrong. but now they actually should. and also a slightly different date.
look ok I promise that *tomorrow* i will find a better development workflow for this than torching my own thoughts page
Sunday | 2020-05-17 | 07:44:51 PM
ok so the linkified dates should have a slightly different link format here
Sunday | 2020-05-17 | 07:37:51 PM
i just realized that in order to test
I actually need to have multiple lines in a post
let's see how this
behaves
Sunday | 2020-05-17 | 07:36:41 PM
now with POSIX compliant sed! https://github.com/marenbeam/thoughts/commit/2781e4f7b2130072addf78dacee061208d14db55

experiencing some old-school internet kindness this morning. I can't remember the last time I had an email exchange with an otherwise unknown person, outside of the context of work or school.
It's great to remember that
1) other humans exist (thanks, coronavirus :/ )
2) you can just talk to them
3) they're often very nice

Sunday | 2020-05-10 | 04:44:11 PM
OK I officially just wrote a Java program for the first time since college. Thoughts:
- Wow I do not remember anything about Java
- I don't know what Spring is doing, but it's clearly *a lot*. Is Spring just like, what you do? Is this what everyone does? Is writing frameworkless Java backends A Thing That Is Not Done?
- It's just REST "hello, world", timeless classic. I followed this: https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/
- Intellij seems good? There was initally lots of red underlining in unexpected things like filenames happening, but I'm pretty sure that was because I didn't realize that I needed to create the project inside of the directory tree that Spring ~initializr~ gave me.
- Why did they have to get rid of the 'e'? Just keep the 'e' y'all.
- Seems like gradle's the right build system to use?
- I think next might be a book. Should I get a Java book?
- Is it important to learn fundamentals without a framework first? I know generally that's true, but if writing frameworkless Java backends is A Thing That Is Not Done then I'm prepared to skip it.
- Java superpower: all these questions are probably widely answered on the internet, because java :)
Sunday | 2020-05-10 | 07:09:41 AM
some mornings just feel *impossible* -- this is one of those mornings :P
I ate food, I had coffee, I got (basically) enough sleep, what gives?
Yesterday me and friends gave ~lightning talks~ to each other, here's the slides for mine!
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sfJ5NLje4emc6XWiQully5riYCRHYmuUvEPeQZj0jbY/edit?usp=sharing
It's about how and why much of the world came to have twelve notes in their music system, tuned the way they are.
Friday | 2020-05-08 | 07:02:44 AM
but it's obviously true that it's a critically important language for programs that are like, part of the fabric of social infrastructure. things like payment processing, payroll, probably running all kinds of things that governments use to crunch lots of different kinds of numbers, all backends that run all those site backends.
Signal's backend is written in java! https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
Am I about to start learning java?
Friday | 2020-05-08 | 06:14:38 AM
i've been thinking about java a lot recently. i realized that I'm not sure i personally know a single person who writes java for their work. or even just for fun?

Saturday | 2020-05-02 | 02:40:32 PM
I think that a major part of why the last week has felt so tough, is that my computer situation was in flux.
As of today, I finally have all the things and time necessary to get it out of flux by the end of my little vacation. That's very exciting!
And I'll even be able to go to the grocery store *during the day on a weekday* on monday. I should make a list. I'm very bad at making grocery lists.

i took a three-day weekend this weekend, and i'm looking forward to it so much :D
plans:
- go on a walk along coogan's bluff
- make biscuits
- clean up a bit
- practice typing on this new keyboard (i'm already doing really well with it, i'd just like to work towards *fantastic* with it)
- make bread (this is happening now)
- at least clean up the readme for ~thoughts~ (this program), ideally make the install script aware of of install on multiple machines. it's getting posted on joy of computing soon, so it'd be great if that were handled.
- stretch goal, fix the GNU sed requirement so it also runs on mac :o
Wednesday | 2020-04-29 | 08:26:42 PM
On the one hand, I'm shocked at the impact stay-at-home has had on my motivation to make cool things and learn new stuff (it's been a net *negative* impact).
On the other hand, I'm not. I need to be nicer to myself. We have entered a nightmare timeline, after all.

quarantine stage 4 i have started working out. 100/10
Wednesday | 2020-04-15 | 08:38:59 AM
ok I'm working through the rust book now. thoughts:
- cargo is obviously great
- the documentation is very very good. it's clear, friendly, and casual
- cargo check is super neat
- i'm interested to see how rustfmt behaves
- i'm interested to see what rust vim plugin universe is like
- rust is spaces-not-tabs. this led me to realize that i've become a spaces-not-tabs person and i'm shocked, SHOCKED. I'd tell you not to @ me but you can't :D
- does rustc produce produce static binaries by default? I can answer this question -- ducking.
- rust statically links all rust code but will dynamically link to the local libc. producing completely static binaries *possibly* requires building against musl? maybe that's normal, i don't live in c-world enough to really know. I'm familiar with musl though.
- i don't have some sort of extreme need to produce static binaries at all times, i'm just generally curious so this is good to know!
rust seems very very fun and good. I'm excited!

seems like a little link shortener that rustlings uses to run an install script isn't working right now. nbd in itself, but it led me to read a little bit more about what its workflow is actually like and now i'm not sure i'm as interested.
I'm gonna write a hello world in rust and then go to bed :)

Sunday | 2020-04-12 | 06:02:08 PM
i wish the .music tld was available right now. it looks like part of why it's not is that control over it is being contested by a bunch of pretty big players. i guess i shouldn't be surprised, but i am disappointed
Saturday | 2020-04-11 | 12:13:17 PM
i've modified my todo list this weekend:
- go to the grocery store
- start work on pairing bot in Rust
- deep-clean my apartment
- some name-change administrativa that I've been sitting on for...4 years?

rust?
04/09/20 03:15:12 PM
I'm now 100% confident that there doesn't exist CI that people are actually happy with :D
04/09/20 10:24:11 AM
my goals for this weekend are:
* Start work on pairing bot in Darklang
* Deep clean my apartment
I think those are good (and achievable) goals!

zzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ
04/09/20 01:39:02 AM
and let's just be sure it works on this other computer too
04/09/20 01:36:09 AM
OK i've standardized the date so much for sleep
Thu Apr 9 01:29:14 EDT 2020
HAHA! It formats the date differently (even though it's literally the same program just one minor release behind what's on my other machine?), but it works! Incredible :) g'night!!!
Thu Apr 9 01:26:27 EDT 2020
first thought from another computer fingers crossed
Thu 09 Apr 2020 01:19:35 AM EDT
...
Wed 08 Apr 2020 11:47:51 PM EDT
alright i've moved the push/pull into the program fingers crossed
as you can see i have a very robust testing strategy
Wed 08 Apr 2020 10:44:38 PM EDT
ok i'm finally done futzing for the night! looks like i'm gonna make it to some nature videos after all :D
fingers crossed that i'm not rate limited by the let's encrypt api for much longer -- currently my blog doesn't have an SSL certificate because...i'm a fool (:
But nbd! It looks like traefik's being a good friend and just casually trying to issue me a certificate every 10 seconds. I guess that's not a problem???
nature videos plz ty <3
Wed 08 Apr 2020 10:07:03 PM EDT
why is dns and ssl always the hard thing
Wed 08 Apr 2020 09:48:12 PM EDT
i'm doing a bad job of getting around to the nature videos
Wed 08 Apr 2020 09:46:23 PM EDT
HAHAHA -- i wondered why i had *so* many more green boxes than usual on github. I knew i'd been doing a lot of computer, but not *that* much more computer.
then it hit me -- every ~thought~ is a commit! lol. this is extremely funny
Wed 08 Apr 2020 09:41:32 PM EDT
surfin
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:26:25 PM EDT
i guess futzing with css is just who i am as a person now
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:11:16 PM EDT
it worked! now i need to futz with ooooone more thing :D
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:10:03 PM EDT
one more try!
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:08:26 PM EDT
not quite. maybe this time?
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:06:11 PM EDT
alright i think i finally fixed the css I was futzing with
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:05:16 PM EDT
oooohhh maybe i could even find video of a hike in the blue ridge mountains :')
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:04:08 PM EDT
i already have a couple different youtube channels in mind
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:02:53 PM EDT
I went to a video happy hour with some coworkers at the end of the day today, and it was really cute and nice. A couple people mentioned that they've been trying to watch videos that involve nature, as a way to cope with the fact that none of us can really go outsite (we all live in big metropolitan areas). I think I'm gonna try and do that this evening too!
Wed 08 Apr 2020 08:54:14 AM EDT
ok messing with this layout turned into messing with the rest of the site pretty quickly :P
Wed 08 Apr 2020 08:47:07 AM EDT
i'm curious how if feels to have the text centered
Wed 08 Apr 2020 08:43:19 AM EDT
the super came up this morning to ask me not to use the kitchen sink for a bit because a downstairs apartment is flooding -- I hope everyone's ok :(
Wed 08 Apr 2020 08:07:07 AM EDT
i think i've decided moving the push/pull logic into the program is reasonable
the only real downside is it means you'll have to initialize a remote repo prior to running the install script
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:59:31 AM EDT
great! it did the thing i want :) I just wanted to add space between each post in the html source
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:57:22 AM EDT
honestly i'm just writing posts right now to test something
Wed 08 Apr 2020 07:54:36 AM EDT
last night i realized that the way i'm treating this right now is "quarantine diary"
it'll be interesting to look back on a year from now
Wed 08 Apr 2020 12:07:22 AM EDT
i did a B- job of going to bed at a good time tonight. If we could just nuuuudge it on up to 11 tomorrow that'd be A+. g'night <3
Tue 07 Apr 2020 08:55:01 PM EDT
this immediately breaks when there's more than one client, because the client now has to care about pulling in up-to-date changes before adding new ones
Tue 07 Apr 2020 08:48:26 PM EDT
eventually i think i'll make ~thoughts~ a little easier to install on two computers simultaneously
currently this would only work (at least with the way I envision another person using it, which is of course the same way I use it :P) if all the git pushing and pulling on the client side was moved into the program.
current workflow is:
* type "thought"
* vim opens, you type a thought in it
* :wq
* ~thoughts~ creates an updated standalone html document with your latest thought added, dumped into ~/.local/share/thoughts
then it's up to the user to cron getting that doc to github, and getting it off of github onto the server
Tue 07 Apr 2020 08:43:02 PM EDT
this is the first night in a long time that i've felt done with computer for the day once i left work
Tue 07 Apr 2020 09:01:04 AM EDT
this morning i learned that ~thoughts~ does not currently accomodate install on two different computers
at least not the way that I've been running it
Tue 07 Apr 2020 08:31:20 AM EDT
i wonder if there exists any CI that anyone is actually happy with
Tue 07 Apr 2020 01:26:05 AM EDT
i stayed up too late :(
Tue 07 Apr 2020 12:21:18 AM EDT
i'm really glad i made this little program
it's bringing me lot's of joy :)
Mon 06 Apr 2020 10:37:22 PM EDT
I'm really appreciating the intermittent checkin that I have with a friend. We just had it, and it was great. Usually I'm excited to have it, but sometimes I dread it. On the days I'm dreading it, it always ends up being super helpful anyway.
We use a (semi)formal framework for the checkin, and you can read it (and use it yourself!) at:

Mon 06 Apr 2020 09:47:48 PM EDT
ok so unsurprisingly i decided to make the title rainbow colored
Mon 06 Apr 2020 09:17:57 PM EDT
quarantine has given me unprecedented time to spend on computer, and so now things like this are happening
honestly it's a dream, but the trade-off is not worth it :(
Mon 06 Apr 2020 09:09:29 PM EDT
hi sam :)
Mon 06 Apr 2020 08:33:17 PM EDT
hello!
I strung together this little pile of things so that I could put my thoughts on the internet in a way I was excited about
