Welcome to The Weekly, back from summer vacation! While I did miss posting I’m still not beating myself up about getting out of the routine.
Welcome to The Weekly, back from summer vacation! While I did miss posting I’m still not beating myself up about getting out of the routine.
Welcome to this month’s Weekly! I’ve been putting in some work on other parts of this site. I launched my book review section that I mentioned last time and seeded it with some books I’ve read this year. I’ve also freshened up the site design a bit sprinkling in some more sans-serif.
I’m starting to think about writing up the last installment in my nix-on-mac series, covering nix modules and splitting out a flake into mulitiple files. I’ve had a draft of this for over a year now and I’m thinking it’s time to put pen to paper and ship it!
Anyways, on to the links:
It’s once again been another month since my last update. I hope you find some interesting reads in this issue, though!
I’m trying to read more this year, and I’ve been working on a new section of the website for small book reviews inspired by Tom MacWright’s Reading section and Arne Bahlo’s Library. Building it has been my first real forray into “vibe coding” with Cursor. The experience has been pretty great, and I was able to get a setup I’m pretty happy with in about an hour.
Anyways, on to the links!
I hope everyone’s had a good month! I might need to figure out another time to write these posts if my weekends start getting busy again. I watched Severance S2E10 last night, and my I’ll keep my spoiler free review to just numbers: 9.5/10.
I hope everyone’s been having a good February! This week’s Weekly is more of a Monthly, but I hope you enjoy the articles all the same. I had a lot to say about these, so it’s quality of commentary over quantity of posts this time around.
I can’t believe I’m relishing the weather today when it’s just above 40 degrees. But that’s how it goes deep in the heart of winter in New York. Weeks like these make me think of this xkcd and how the weather extremes here in the summer and winter are pretty close to the worst of both worlds. Oh, well! The buildings look pretty at night at least.
This is a short Weekly this week. Let’s get on to it!
Hello again! I realized I messed up my automated email schedule up a bit and last week’s newsletter was sent out this evening, a full week late. Sorry for that! As an apology to my O(10) newsletter subscribers, you’ll see two posts in 24 hours — going forward the newsletter will get sent out Monday mornings rather than Sunday evenings to account for any late editions.
It’s an edition coming in right at the buzzer this week! I had a really fulfilling day today — went to the first session for a new book club this morning and hosted friendly low buy-in poker with some friends in the afternoon. I’m feeling good about the time I’m spending with people I care about so far in 2025; I hope to continue it through the rest of the month!
