• A Swift promise

    In a previous post, I mentioned my intention of factoring out Origon’s replication framework. The thing is, it’s not really a framework per se, more like a distributed algorithm with constituent parts running on both the server and on any number of clients. So factoring it out, as it were, is more a question of generalising it. And no, I haven’t yet got around to generalising it in any meaningful way. » read more
  • I fixed a bug in my app

    There’s this app I made, Origon. Back in July I wrote that I hadn’t touched the codebase in years and probably wouldn’t again. And I really had no intention to, except from maybe factoring out the replication framework that sits at its heart. » read more
  • Direction

    I have a number of editors open on my Mac. There’s the VSCode instance where I type this and recently bent Minima to my will, and another where I’ve done close to 50 Haskell Exercism exercises.

Instead of just molding it for my own purposes, I’ve effectively created a customisable feature that incidentally gives me what I want. » read more
  • Monads in music

    Monads in music, I once vexed lyrically to a flame of mine. She was smart. Dead smart, an incredible conversationalist, and well versed in functional programming - of which I knew next to nothing at the time. Oh, the allure. I’m a sucker for smart women, particularly when they know about stuff that I don’t. » read more
  • Just this

    Just this, then bed. I’ve been sleeping irregularly lately. Waking up too early at best, in the middle of the night at worst. A past girlfriend would’ve told me I’ve been ‘activated’. Myself, I blame it on stress. Self-induced stress. » read more
