Today I wanted to shoot a long exposure photo.

This was the best.

I noticed in post that I had shot with a high ISO value. That was really not needed by the situation. It was just a mistake on my part. Which made the photo rather grainy. Next time I shoot long exposure in low light, I need to remember to fix the ISO as well.

Another photo shoot. Another best photo.

This time I avoided a shallow depth of field and instead choose a photo where I think the framing made it enough interesting.

I decided I want to try photography as a hobby.

One way I might practice that is to go out on a shoot and post the best image from that shoot here on my blog.

This is the first.

Stacking a brick.

5k relatively easy might not seem as much. But it is a brick. A brick towards a bigger goal. A PB on the next race. Or a marathon that I don't feel completely beaten by.

Lately, I have not been able to stack as many bricks as I would like. I've had to take it easy because of various injuries.

When a day goes by that I did not manage to stack a brick I can feel that my goals get farther and farther away. And that makes me sad. I know that the consistency of stacking small bricks is what matters the most.

I realized this brick stacking analogy when I was out on this run. That's probably my main reason for running. For making my brain come up with ideas. And for making my body feel good.

As for the running goals? I have to change the types of bricks to adapt to injuries. Perhaps that means more rehab exercises. Perhaps that means resting. Perhaps it means doing alternative training. I just have to keep trying. Find the bricks to stack and stack them carefully. And remember that the stacking is the point. It's the stacking that makes me feel good and come up with ideas.

Today I spent some time implementing a piece tree. It's not really a tree yet. It's more like a linked list. But I think the interface will be the same.

I've been curious about the piece tree for a while after having read a lot about it. And what better way to learn more and solidify that understanding than by implementing it? After getting a simple implementation working, I wanted to use it in the rest of rlworkbench and that work felt very hard. I was disappointed.

But I think I achieved something important that I didn't realize at first. I've never used a piece tree before. I've just read about it. Now I actually have an implementation in C. And I know how it works. I have advanced one step. Previously, my brain was focused on how a piece tree works and the benefits that it can give. Now that I actually have one, my brain can start thinking about how to use it in the context of rlworkbench.

I also got bogged down in details of C. And tried to reach perfection. That never ends well. Perhaps it's time to go back and use the application and work on improving what actually hurts the most. Right now, that might be that the copy & paste buffer has a memory limit. So if you try to copy or paste text that is too large, the application will crash. I have to figure out how to extend my arena implementation to allow arbitrarily much memory and how to represent strings spanning over multiple memory chunks. The piece tree might be one solution. But perhaps there are simpler solution for this particular problem. But now I have one more tool in my toolbox.

One thing that I find easier in C compared to Python is that loops are not as expensive. And sometimes, things are easier to implement when you can think of them individually.

For example, to render characters with different styles, we can do this in C:
```
for (index = 0; index < SIZE; index++) {
    render_character(characters[index], styles[index]);
}
```
This is cheap in C. But in Python, it is expensive. So to make this fast in Python, we might want to do something like this:
```
for (substring, style) in split_parts(text):
    render_text(substring, style)
```
Assuming we can write split_parts without looping over all characters, this will perform better in Python because of fewer loop iterations.

Modes are only problematic if the current mode is not the user's locus of attention?

A quasimode is more likely the user's locus of attention because the act of pressing and holding a button creates a richer experience that the user is in this mode?

I've implemented a function to filter the current selection through an external program in rlworkbench. Here is a demo of it.

Right now, the filter program is hard coded to one that formats C code.

One idea with this external formatting is that you could spend more time inputing text that actually does something instead of being distracted by formatting issues.

I've implemented an special select mode in rlworkbench that simplifies selecting different portions of a document. Here is a demo of it.

The select mode is entered by pressing ctrl+l for se(l)ect. The mode is a quasimode meaning that it is only active while the 'l' key is still pressed. (The ctrl key can be released.)

In the select mode buttons to different things:
- Pressing 'r' extends the selection to the current (r)egion leaped over
- Pressing 'e' extends the selection to lin(e) boundaries
- Pressing 'a' extends the selection to p(a)ragraph boundaries
The editor is also in select mode when clicking and dragging with the mouse. So the same keys can be used there. (That is why all the keys are on the left side of the keyboard, since, for me, I operate the mouse with the right hand.)

Having an explicit select mode frees up more keys for select operations. So far I find it a little uncomfortable sustaining the 'l' key, but I feel like it has potential.

I've implemented selection of text with the mouse in rlworkbench. Here is a demo.

The selection goes into the X11/Wayland "primary selection" clipboard which can be pasted with the middle mouse button.

Sometimes when writing a document, I do that by copy and pasting text from various sources. I do that with the mouse. So it has been very convenient to be able to use the mouse in rlworkbench as well. It's starting to feel more and more like a "native application".

Today I learned that copy and paste only works if the program that you copy from is still running.

The SDL API documentation gave me the clue that i might work like this. Because in some situations, you need to provide a callback to transfer data to the clipboard.

I wonder if this is only on Linux, or other operating systems as well?

Last month I decided to try to make rlworkbench a fully modeless editor.

In theory, I get why modeless editing is good. However, I'm a long time, happy Vim user. Vim is probably the most common example of a modal editor. The opposite of modeless. Despite that I want to try. This is a note about my current thoughts and experiences.

Multiple key presses at once

One thing that I like about editing in Vim is that I seldom have to press multiple keys at once. That is comfortable for my hands and fingers. My right arm is quite sensitive to bad ergonomics. For example, I often feel a slight pain after working on a laptop keyboard for an hour or so. I'm afraid that a modeless editing interface can not preserve this ergonomics.

Afraid of inserting text

In Vim, you are by default in "normal mode" where key presses don't usually insert characters but instead perform operations such as moving the cursor. With a modeless editor interface, you are by default in "insert mode" where key presses insert characters. Now that rlworkbench has a modeless editing interface, I'm sometimes afraid of accidentally inserting characters. Maybe I just have a bad habit of moving the cursor around and I should stop doing that. However, the feeling is that always insert mode feels a little scary.

Inverse?

In modeless editors the default mode is insert mode, and you issue commands by holding down control for example. Why is that? Can we invert that so that the default mode is "command mode" and you have to press and hold a key to insert characters? My guess is that I spend more time navigating than typing.

The Humane Interface (p. 59) argues that the hope is that most time is spent creating content (aka insert mode) and that should be as easy as possible. But I wonder if that is really true. Issuing commands can create content as well, right? For example, there might be a command to format a piece of source code. The formatting might be important for readability. Making the content more readable. Isn't that then part of "creating content"?

This is a short note about my experience with C.

I've previously written about how I feel that C slow me down. Partly because it is a lower-level language than I'm used to. Partly because I don't know it that well.

But yesterday when I worked on rlworkbench I felt that making a change was not that hard. It might even have felt slightly easier.

This feels like a breakthrough for me in my C journey. Perhaps I've learned C well enough for it to not be in my way? Perhaps I've got enough primitives implemented so that I can do some high level programming without more effort? Perhaps the C programming paradigm is more productive? I don't know. But I'm starting to like C more and more.

I've implemented the ability to extend the selection to line boundaries in rlworkbench.

This can be used to more easily select a number of lines and do operations on them.

I plan to extend this mechanism with more text objects. Things that come to mind are word, sentence, paragraph, and function if you are writing code.

I've implemented copy and paste in rlworkbench, and this is a demo of the current state.

You can make a selection as I demonstrated in the previous demo. Then you can copy that selection with ctrl+c and paste it with ctrl+v.

This also works with external programs.

The next step in copy paste is probably to allow selection of text with the mouse which puts the selection in a clipboard that can be pasted with the third mouse button.

Copy and paste felt like a big step towards a usable editor. Especially when writing code. I often copy and paste code and make small modifications. Now that is possible in rlworkbench.

I couldn't resist programming some C today.

The program that I worked on was a program to print unique lines:
```
rick@fedora:~/projects/cunique$ cat test.txt
hello
world
hello
there
rick@fedora:~/projects/cunique$ ./cunique <test.txt
hello
world
there
```
I managed to write it, but I also wanted it to perform well. When I try the above with a 1GB file it seems to take forever, but my Python equivalent finishes in around 5s.

That made me feel discouraged and made me think that I should work more on Computer, Enhance! before I think I have an idea about how to write performant C code.

However, I got to program C and that was fun.

If loss of a tool = loss of your skill & knowledge, then that tool isn't an asset, it's a liability. You're signing over your ability to do business to whoever sells & maintains that tool.

This reasoning resonates with me.

It also made me think about the presentation Peter Van Hardenberg - Local First: the secret master plan where he describes woodworkers making their own tools, called jigs, that help them build better.

Perhaps it is a good exercise in software to let go of a tool that we use and see if we can still do our job. And perhaps that might even lead to us thinking about and building new tools?

5x5min threshold intervals on the treadmill at 05:00 /km pace and an angle of 3 (degrees I guess).

I believe this was a steeper angle than my previous workout. I was inspired by "The Hardest Workout We Ever Do" | Uphill Treadmill Threshold feat. Megan! to try a steeper angle. (Megan din 12x5min at 8% grade. Wow!)

The knee pain that I have felt the previous weeks now seems to be completely gone. I'm so grateful for that. And reminded that I must keep doing my strength exercises.

Yesterday I watched Peter Van Hardenberg - Local First: the secret master plan. I've come across Peter and Ink & Switch before. It caught my interest then, and it caught my interest now again.

This time I saw similarities between the local first concept and IndieWeb.

One of the requirements for local first (particularly in the context of collaboration) is the ability to diff different versions of a document and sync changes between different people. In the programming world, we have had this luxury for a long time with version control systems. But they want to enable that for all types of documents. This sounds so cool.

I found the URL design page particularly interesting.

I have given URL design some thought. I should maybe write up the thinking behind the current design.

However, I've sometimes gotten frustrated because I felt that I couldn't reach a perfect design. And perhaps there is no right and wrong. Only trade-offs as in other types of design.

I want to implement URL rewriting so that I can fix bad URL design with HTTP redirects so that old links can keep working while still promoting the newer better design.

I've now implemented a way to download mentions from Webmention.io and display them on my blog posts.

My blog is a static site. So the way it works is that I download mentions via the Webmention.io API. Then I extract only the information that I need to display the mentions on my blog. I save that information in json files that I can read when the website is generated. Right now, they look like this:
```
$ cat posts/2023/04/06/what-should-a-ci-server-do/mentions.json | jq
{
  "https://blog.rickardlindberg.me/2026/01/24/how-does-ci-work-in-projects2.html": {

In What Skills Do Developers NEED To Have In An AI Future?, Trisha Gee says

Developers Are a Bridge Between the Silicon and End User

This was said in the context of the importance of "soft skills" for a developer.

This explanation of a developer resonates so much with me because it encompasses everything. On the one hand you need to be able to program the silicon at a low level. On the other hand you need to be able to communicate with the end user to figure out what to build.

It was also said in the context that how you realize an end user need might change with AI. You might write a prompt instead of writing code. But the developer's job is still to be that bride.

My website as a home (found via End of Year Hyperlink Dump) talks about a metaphor for websites:

I feel as if someone is giving me a tour of their apartment: I’m looking at the papers on his desk, the notes stuck to his fridge, an album of butterfly photos taken by his brother, and so on.

I like this metaphor, and I would like my website to feel like a home. Micro.blog makes this very easy. I can share and develop my interests. I can structure content with categories and pages. Others can come have a look. Comment if they wish. And you can see conversations that I've had with visitors.
