TIL: tempfile in ruby, use it for easy garbage collection afterwards
Today, I was working on a script at work where I ultimately needed to export a 2MB file and although this isn’t a large file, I know I will forget about getting rid of it so while searching around, I came across tempfile. Tempfile simply will be garbage collected at some time because the file […]

Using Numi app for calculations
I’ve used the Calculator app on the iPhone for as long as I’ve had a smartphone and I think on the computer, it’s a weird thing that’s been missing for a long time. Recently, Apple brought the Calculator app to Mac but I don’t think it’s as useful as I want it to be so […]

TIL: using my own blog as a knowledge DB with Google as the search engine
Today, I saw Simon Willison’s “One year of TILs” post on HN (which itself was inspired by Josh Branchaud’s collection) where he mentions writing blog posts that come from small tidbits of knowledge. For a long time, I’ve dabbled in keeping notes in Notion, text files edited with vim, and a bunch of native mac […]

Blogging from Ulysses
I’ve been enjoying blogging from my phone by emailing to my blog, it’s the most straight-forward way to get thoughts published. I’ve also been writing a lot more inside Day One and iA Writer on my phone (for quick thoughts that don’t need to see the daylight). Today, I saw that Ulysses updated to version […]

Jugni — Rabbi Shergill
I forget about this song for long periods of time since it’s not on Spotify. There’s a lot of substance in this song and it’ll be hard for me properly cover through translations but there are a few lines I’d like to summarize. A personal take on this song Jugni goes to her country, where […]
