15-Aug-24From a different Tanya Reilly talk this time, this is also my new headcanon: Fear will keep the lesser systems in line… fear of this borrow checker.

Reverse The Polarity

Digital Minimalism, what’s in it for me?
04-Jun-24I have decided to try a practice called a “digital declutter.” For the rest of this month, I intend to limit my use of online/electronic/digital technology as much as possible. This includes texting, email, listening to podcasts, TV, etc. Likely not going to have a lot of posts between now and end of June, but […]
Ten years ago, I hacked out a limited parser in Python for YAML, which I named monkeyYaml. I even blogged about it. It turns out that this code is still in use. Not only as a backup, but as the *only* parser for front matter in the test262 repository. Initially, I used import yaml to […]

I realized that it […]

17-Oct-14I was thinking some more about the new game “Shadow of Mordor” (read the review by Carolyn Petit here).

Monkey-YAML (or: Reinventing the Wheel)
15-Oct-14In theory, we’re never supposed to reinvent the wheel. In theory, we’re supposed to fix things correctly. Well, as Yogi Berra allegedly said, the difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there is no difference… Some time ago I got involved in the Test262 project (you should too!) and, one thing leading to […]
