- FZF and Fish
This is my third day on my journey of making FZF work with Fish and NixOS. Well, it does work by default, but I had some special additional requirements—namely, that I can open files found by FZF in their default application and that I have a nice preview of images, PDFs, and just files in general when searching with FZF.
But whenever I fix one thing, another thing breaks. I’ve already reached at least three points where I thought to myself, “Finally, I’m done—only this tiny little thing left.” And then, after I fixed that tiny little thing, I was back at square one. Something else broke—either the preview stopped working, or it didn’t open the file correctly, or it didn’t close the terminal after opening the program, or pressing Enter didn’t work.
Anyway, I spent the whole day on this. When I say the whole day, I mean I started at 9 a.m., took a lunch and dinner break, and kept working on it until 11 p.m.
I came to this realization: I think I might be the Sisyphus of software development—forever developing software where, as soon as you fix one bug, another appears. A never-ending cycle with a never-working product. But honestly? I really don’t think that would be so bad. I was Dasein incarnate: no thoughts wandering off, fully focused on one task, just being.
- The Memelord Himself
Do as Diogenes did: he was unwell on one occasion when someone gave him a shove and put him in a headlock. Instead of engaging the man in a wrestling match, he took a stand before him, showed him his penis, and said “Try, sir, to wrestle me to the ground by applying pressure to this.”
~ Teles, On Self-Sufficency
- On Pleasure
Boredom compels them to invent unwholesome dishes, then to take spa treatments to combat the unwelcome side effect of such a diet. In the space of a single day they often want both breeze and a heavy cloak, heat as well as ice to offset the heat and - what’s most absurd - they hanker for hunger as well as thirst.
Addicted to sex, they nevertheless derive no pleasure from it since they do not wait until the urge arises in its own good time. The upshot is that the pleasures they pursue are joyless and disappointing in their consumation.
~ Dio Chrysostom, Oration 6
- Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchet
This is the second book in the Discworld series. It picks up directly after the first one. Although it’s not required to know the first book, it’s probably better if you do.
I liked it — as always, a hilarious concept, interesting characters, and a cute story. Although the story is more of a playground for the characters to interact with each other.
Poor Rincewind, never getting any rest.
