When I ditched the big social media networks I intended to use email as a way to keep up with friends and family. But my email right now is a dumpster fire of pointless mailshots and administrata. I can definitely tidy it up but also thinking email genuinely isn’t good for maintaining social ties? Was it ever?
Kind: Notes
Cool! It was super simple to add a bookmark-of post type to the micropub layer in spacemacs.
Using emacs in termux on Android. Because… actually I forgot why. But fun anyway!
Testing posting from spacemacs as a micropub client…
On a train, in a branch, adding tests to legacy code and refactoring. Aw yeah. Love it when a test goes green.
Forget this debate about whether it is overall more productive or not – for me personally, I just don’t enjoy coding if I’m not driving it with tests.
Good podcast from New Economics Foundation discussing the Green New Deal and how it might work in the UK. Pretty fascinating that majority of the Democrat candidates are signed up to it in the US. https://neweconomics.org/2019/02/weekly-economics-podcast-whats-the-deal-with-the-green-new-deal
I’m going through the ‘Build A Laravel App With TDD’ series on Laracasts. I’m enjoying it a lot. It’s fun to code along in little step-by-step videos like this. It’s somewhere between reading a tutorial, doing a kata, and pair programming. Picking up lots of little tips about the framework, and tweaking my tools setup to keep up with the video with as little pausing as possible.
Just used multiple-cursors for the first time in spacemacs. And lo, it was good.
I love pre-2000 Autechre but never really got into anything after that. There. I said it.
Just slowly realising that you could use org-babel very much like you would an interactive notebook like Jupyter. Not tried it yet.. but that could be really useful.
