Look for overcast in Düsseldorf with a temperature of 22.7°C. No rain is expected at this time. Expect a gentle breeze from the WestSouthWest.

When tragedy strikes unexpectedly we cannot just go on as if nothing happened. Our minds need to be given time to deal with the blow. So it is necessary to pause and allow ourselves to process and recover.

I just timed it: 59 seconds for my Raspberry Pi to boot, 33 of which is waiting for my keyboard firmware to initialize. That’s just absurd.

lol. yeah i am in deep at the new job. probably need a little more time to settle in

What a terrible video. “Cancel culture” is not a thing, and when you hear someone complaining about it, 99% of the time they just don’t want consequences for bad behavior.

SPACE PROGRAM SPACE PROGRAM // time to focus on mathematics, APL, and music

If [you take] a look at how APLers communicate when they have ideas, you see code all the time, all day long. The APL community is the only one I’ve seen that regularly can write complete code and talk about it fluently on a whiteboard between humans without hand waving. Even my beloved Scheme programming language cannot boast this. When working with humans on a programming task, almost no one uses their programming languages that primary communication method between themselves and other humans outside of the presence of a computer. That signals to me that they are not, in fact, natural, expedient tools for communicating ideas to other humans. The best practices utilized in most programming languages are, instead, attempts to ameliorate the situation to make the code as tractable and as manageable as possible, but they do not, primarily, represent a demonstration of the naturalness of those languages to human communication. — aaron hsu

i’ve been meaning to read these notes, maybe putting the book on my ereader will be a better reminder than whatever i did last time 😅

this web discourse is pretty hilarious, time to stop checking twtxt.net tho XD i can just stick to my own subs ^^

nexus crashed again… this time i will disable c6 and see how it goes.

i have but one use of feddy per day, and i used mine this morning just to waste time

[nexus] resilver in progess since 2021-02-12T12:29:36-07:00. no estimated completion time.

Are you able to coax your webserver to add the charset to the content type header? Browsers are having a hard time thinking you are sending latin-1

content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Started the #gsoc application for Plan 9 yesterday morning; spun up a new cpu server last night; poking at it today. I miss being able to spend more time on this.

@xuu@txt.sour.is Are you interested in getting on Signal and swapping contact details and such so we can discuss some ideas in collaboration in more real-time? You have great ideas, I think we could benefit from a bit more real(ish) time 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net yep. it actually extracts everything at parse time. like mentions/tags/links/media. so they can be accessed and manipulated without additional parsing. it can then be output as MarkDown

@xuu@txt.sour.is @adi@twtxt.net Private Messaging is finally done in the messages_poc_2 branch. If you have time to have a look and play with it locally and test it out that would be great. The plan is to release this as the first version which only supports “on-pod messaging” right now (cross-pod to come later).

@prologic@twtxt.net you think its time the version to get bumped? :)

Wishing everyone a wonderful, happy and healthy end-of-year time after all.

@prologic@twtxt.net just an off the wall question about hashes. why not use the time+message as it was in the original twtxt.txt file? is it because it’s just not store anyplace?

also how set in stone is using user+url? vs user@domain? the latter would mean the url could change without invalidating the hash.

@prologic@twtxt.netd so.. convert the 4 attributes in the struct to private, add getters plus some the other methods that make sense.

type Twt interface {
	Twter()        Twter
	Text()         string
	MarkdownText() string
	Created()      time.Time
    ... 
}

the patterns they control your mind those patterns take away my time

i think i need to adjust my ADD meds. having a rough time concentrating today :/

I’m on my stay-cation in Cork. 4 hour drive with dog. Got here by mid day I was worried about alternator but it made 14V most of the time.

Funny how not that long ago I made a remark to a friend who was keeping all his notes as txt files and now I am looking at doing exactly that. txt will probably be the one format that will be around for a very long time still.

My 2014 Android Moto-X is finally out-of-order - the battery life is close to flat-lining and when it boots it gets stuck for a really long time in the optimizing apps mode. The case is cracked. Goodbye old friend.

I’ve been learning C from the second edition C Programming Language book by Kernighan and Ritchie. Good times.

Cooking shows really warp your expectations around the time and effort needed to make something happen.

A peek into something I spend way too much time and money on: http://www.tested.com/tech/606152-everything-you-need-know-about-custom-mechanical-keyboards/

Over the course of my life up to this point, I’ve not spent as much time using and thinking about gopher as I have today.

@mdom@domgoergen.com its just here in my apartment for the time being. Im going to bring it to a hackathon next month.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Imma let you finish but the Motorola RAZR was the best feature phone of all time!

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net you heard about the Nokia 3310 reissue, right? I feel so much 90s nostalgia, like, all the time.
