Setting up standard.site integration with a Bluesky account, a static site, duck tape, and hope

I decided to see if I could set up standard.site for my blog without using an existing platform. I managed to hack something together myself – emphasis on the hack: it’s a lot of terminal commands, copy-and-pasting, and questionable security decisions.

Tabs, spaces, hand tools, and seat belts: a response

I read the blog post mentioned in the title recently, and found it a reasonable and coherent articulation of a certain viewpoint about AI, and indeed about programming (even society) in general. It presents its arguments clearly and sensibly. It has an ambivalence to it that suggests consideration. It is well-cited and well-written. You should read it. (in fact, you should read it before the rest of this blog post, or I’ll make even less sense than otherwise). This makes me extremely angry. As I take the opposite viewpoint from this point, it feels only appropriate that I should present it in the opposite manner: that is, unreasonably, incoherently, unclearly, insensibly, poorly considered and indeed inconsiderately. Enjoy.

You no longer need JavaScript (Lyra Rebane)

https://lyra.horse/blog/2025/08/you-dont-need-js/ I know the basics of HTML and CSS, but I didn't realise just how insanely good it's gotten lately. From a cursory glance both seem like "easy to use, hard to master" markup languages with the mastery being very rewarding. I've been thinking about making a "music talk" site with Hugo (from scratch) as...

LLMs are bad decision helpers

I want to preface this by saying I am not anti-AI/LLM, especially in the way it has manifested on social media. In fact, I'm highly critical of the movement due to how abusive the movement has gotten (especially on Bluesky and the FOSS community) and dismissive to information that contradicts their claims, and I do...

Lisp was ahead of it's time

It came to me before I slept, too good to pass and leave it for tomorrow

Getting back into programming

I have a C++ class starting next semester, so I decided to see if I could still write for Arduino.It's a simple "hello world" type program. I've forgotten a lot since developing a machine vision system in high school. 12 years later at least I can still make an LED blink, I can even do...

Our First Anniversary Brings a Narrowed Focus for Weekly TPFs

Tightening up the ship After a year of publishing The Fulcrum, I (as publisher) now know the topics, tools, and techniques I want to focus The Programmer's Fulcrum coverage on. And maybe it will have the side benefit of shorter TPF posts. We'll see if I can tighten up my discipline as well. ;) That...

Emacs + Meow is an underrated combo

In my head, code editors fall on a spectrum of intuition on one side or flexibility on the other. Easy versus malleable. I know this is an oversimplification, but bear with me for a bit.

Deep Purple, jQuery and the role of legacy

There are people, groups, works and topics that are old just in terms of age, and everyone and their dog wants to replace them for good, often for their age alone. But that turns out to be a wild goose chase, since these are so good at what they do, and/or they command so much mindshare, that they keep going for decades. See Emacs, Vim, COBOL, paperbacks, notebooks, email.

Web Cartography

I've been meaning to read this for years. I finally picked up a copy for a decent price last year, and read it as a refresher before embarking on some map creation. It seems a bit strange, reading a technology-related book from 2014 in 2026, but Ian Muehlenhaus did a good job of keeping most...
