  • nerd shit

    I can’t tell you how
    I knew - but I did know that I had crossed
    The border. Everything I loved was lost
    But no aorta could report regret.
    A sun of rubber was convulsed and set;
    And blood-black nothingness began to spin
    A system of cells interlinked within
    Cells interlinked within cells interlinked
    Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct
    Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

    The stanza from Pale Fire that was used in Blade Runner 2049. I don’t even know what a solid half of it means. But its sits in my head and the more I turn it over the more I feel dread and anxiety. It feels like a real NDE; very meaningful and almost incomprehensible. Its barely touched on in the commentary section of the book beyond a mention of one of the rhymes. I think it’s more effective than a lot of horror writing.

    I’ve been reading the poem itself for voice training, if anyone has recommendations for similar poetry I would be happy to have them.











  • ranting and raving about IDEs

    i like neovim more than other editors but i would like it more if my stupid plugin manager let me configure on a per project basis and i didnt have to fuck around with tabstops and line endings all. the. time. arghhhhhhhh. say what you will about IDEs (and there’s a lot to say) but at least you dont have to fuck around with this shit constantly, forget the setting names and have to dig through documentation to set it up/fix it every single time you come back to a project. I’ve spent more time fucking with tabstops and line endings than I have actually writing code. Such a gigantic pain in the ass. My take on editors is that I hate them all except emacs bc i’ve never used it and I’d probably hate it too for anything other than tiny LISP progs. I just want a lightweight and fast terminal editor with syntax highlighting/errors in the current files I have open, symbol lookup, and an easy way to hook up to a debugger. thats it! I don’t need git integration! I’ll use the fuckin cli! I dont need AI bs! its crap! I don’t want to manually disable half my plugins when i switch to a different language and still load every lsp for things i’m not even using! I just want it to work consistently, require minimal configuration and get the fuck out of my way so i can write the damn code. fuck!!! people hate on the godot code editor cause it doesn’t have multiple buffers but damn if I havent gotten more done just because i dont have to fuck around with the settings all the time
