Very sad. In case you didn't open the link yet, this is from the widow of Jake Seliger, who was very active on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jseliger. He died a few months ago.

Grieving while being a new mom must be brutal.

Neat! Almost reminds me of the Acme editor.

How does this compare to the sibling project https://zeminary.com/matrix/app.html?

Personally, I keep a text file as a "debugging journal" and just append a line every time I try a new step. For example, this is what I wrote down after recently trying out a local LLM:

  llama.cpp
  - idk why there's so many llama versions to install on yay
  - i went with llama.cpp-bin, because it was built with libcurl and the first one i tried apparently was not
  - but i had to remove llama.cpp-git-debug from a previous installation
  - remember yay -Q | grep ... to check for installed packages
  - the cli interface changes; i ended up with --hf-repo ggml-org/qwen2.5... --hf-file qwen25....
  - the huggingface.com page probably has the most accurate and up-to-date instructions
  - my goal: fast, offline, generalized/automatic autocomplete
  - localhost:8080 to access web ui after running llama-server

They're quick notes, and they actually help me problem solve, not disrupt me. I'm casual about it, though. I'm not copying every input and output verbatim. I think the idea is to leave yourself enough breadcrumbs so that you can reproduce, grab screenshots, and copy error messages later when you're not in the zone. Hope this helps.

Also, note that I'm most likely to publish a blog post in the following days while the problem is still fresh in my mind. If I wait months or years, it's pretty much doomed to stay in /drafts forever.

I have one of her books, Ornamental Origami. I had no idea she was so prolific. And I had no idea she died recently.

I encourage anybody that likes geometry and puzzles to give modular origami a try. You just need lots of little pieces of paper, and some patience. Then you end up with fun little desk ornaments: https://wonger.dev/assets/origami.jpg
