I’ve been putting off implementing a feature in Splint for months because I worried it would be annoying to write, but I needed it yesterday so I took a stab at it and it basically went as smoothly as I could hope.
The feature? Excluding files or file globs from being checked within specific rules or globally from inside the configuration file. Java’s java.nio.file.PathMatcher makes it really simple. I was worried I would have to implement it myself.
Lots of hoopla for nothing. Feels great to see it work.
Forgot to post after releasing v1.9.0 back in May, so this is gonna be fuckin huge.
In short: v1.9 added a new rule (style/prefer-clj-string) and a new cli flag (--[no-]summary). v1.10 added reading available deps.edn and project.clj files to determine the directories to check, changing the pattern DSL to use a variation of pangloss/pattern's DSL, and to add 5 new rules, 4 of which are performance rules (style/redundant-regex-constructor, performance/assoc-many, performance/avoid-satisfies, performance/get-in-literals, performance/get-keyword).
The change in v1.10 means that you can run bb splint or clojure -M:splint and it'll "just work": it'll check the primary directories and the directories under and :test alias without any extra fiddling. This makes it much easier to use quickly. I've always been annoyed at clj-kondo's insistence on forcing the --lint flag for choosing files, and loved Rubocop's "just run it" mentality.
My wife made the mistake of asking me the dreaded question, the one I have attempted and failed to answer for many people throughout my life: “When I push a button on my keyboard, how does it show up on the screen?”
We spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to make certain concepts understandable for her. Fun quotes:

Need a vibe check on the new olivia rodrigo song
vampire? this song has me so excited for the album. she has leaned into early lorde (complimentary) but with lots of anger. i like this more than everything on SOUR which was fun but felt young and kind of sloppy.
Continue reading →Watched Mission Impossible 1 for the first time in probably 20 years with my wife. This movie is fucking awesome. Can’t wait to watch the rest.
sometimes i feel like i play a game and i get it, i just don't enjoy it so i put it down (uncharted series). or i get to a point where the game stops being fun for a variety of reasons (elden ring). other times tho, i spend the whole time going "i don't get it, what's the point, where's the fun?"
that's where tears of the kingdom was when i stopped playing it. games like that itch at my brain, cuz i want to get it! i want to be able to say, "okay, i understand what this game is going for, i understand the intended loop of fun, regardless of whether i enjoy it or not, i have some meager understanding of the authorial intent and i think i've experienced enough of that to have a (imo) legit reaction to it"
all that said, i watched a fun and slightly annoying video titled "Tears of the Kingdom Wants You to Cheat" and now i feel like i should try the game again.
I understand that consistent labels and acronyms are good, but I think QuILTBAG+ is better than LGBTQAI+.

What is your favorite programming language you don't know? :)
Ocaml! It’s like Haskell’s cooler friend. :eggbug-devious:

i think i need a new job, tho the fear lurks that no matter which job i go to, i won't be able to learn it so i'm just buying myself time.
the company is good, my coworkers are nice, my boss is extremely chill and friendly, they're serious about everyone taking 4+ weeks of vacation a year and give off extra days every month like they hate work. it's an ideal workplace.

Tell me your favorite tswift song and album please and thank you
Album is easy: Lover. It came out the year I got married and right after my wife got pregnant, so we were very much in love and feeling hopeful for the future. We listened to it non-stop during a trip to visit my extended family. Brings up a lot of good memories.

She was great, the show was great. My wife made me a “Lover” themed friendship bracelet with our wedding date (1-11) on it and I wept during the performance of the song.

Saw Cave In open for Yob recently and both were amazing. Bought a sick Yob t-shirt and Cave In long sleeve. Went home and purchased all 8 Yob albums on bandcamp and the latest Cave In album.
Yob got on stage and immediately started playing. After they finished their first song, Michael Scheidt said, "We have 5 more songs. About an hour and a half.". Before playing their last song, he said, "Instead of wasting everyone's time with a fake encore, we prefer to just play really long sets. Here's our last one." and then played an extra long version of Quantum Mystic.
Continue reading →1 new rule, 2 new outputs, and one of my favorite changes yet: continue to run after a rule throws an exception.
Continue reading →v1.7.0 adds a new rule, a new cli flag, and two new output options. Details under the fold.
Continue reading →Small bug fix this time:
- Fix merging defaults for
--paralleland--outputso they can be set by.splint.ednlocal config. - Also wrote short descriptions for all empty config.edn rule descriptions.
I of course fucked up the adhoc deploy script I built, so when I pushed 1.6.0, I didn't actually tag it and didn't commit any of the changes and really just messed it all up, so I cut another release immediately. I wish I could just write the code and will it onto my user's computers.

work on something. get frustrated. open a new browser tab. go to facebook/cohost/lobsters/etc. immediately close the tab because i should be working and it's not helpful to just mindlessly scroll to avoid doing work. look at the code again. feel frustrated. open a new browser tab. go to...
repeat for 3 years.
