@jamie Oh heck that’s sweet!

Some incentive to play with Crystal more, that’s for sure. Is there a repo? I’ve been curious about playing at a Polars binding.

Just because you woke me up at 4:15 to pee doesn’t mean any of you are getting breakfast at 4:30.

4:45 update: the cats say “fine we’ll just keep screaming until whenever you decide breakfast time is for the dogs and us.”

Smart cats.

@IamMrsGeek makes me want to install a ceiling fan in all the rooms, just to piss them off.

@phocks Was idly pondering the other night how Tom Hanks was the king of sentimental quirky comedy in the 80s.

Still basically formulaic, but weird premises and processing actual adult emotions here and there – way more than most of the other stuff at the time.

@raganwald no, just italics.

The server I’m on uses the Glitch fork of Mastodon, which supports Markdown.

Rendering depends on the viewer’s client.

@tk Yah I was able to recover my history, but that process was tedious enough that I haven’t really used Taskwarrior since then.

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 08:57

@tk Honestly a reasonable choice. taskd is kind of a mess, but I’m not sure the new sync is better. Not having a straightforward upgrade / downgrade path for sync after automatically updating to 3.0 was the insult.

Made the budget investment of USD12.98 to make sure I have a nice shirt for interviews.

On-site interviews? Not yet, unless you buy me some trousers or have a particularly relaxed dress code.

@thegibson that’s when she makes me take Gas-X

Trying to keep it restrained, but I’m getting a little whinier every hour about the movers not yet arriving with our stuff. Especially as I start trying to explore an unfamiliar codebase. It’s way easier with the full monitor to spread things around.

can tell how fond ars is of musk by how hard they work to find less embarrassing photos of him for their articles

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 11:57

@cinebox nah Berger’s mostly obsessed flattering his big rocket

ok sure but with wind chill it only feels like 99F

brrr

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:30

no but for real somebody in TX shared their current weather conditions and it was like “with humidity, it feels like 122F” so that’s another reason to be glad I’m not in Texas.

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:34

@thegibson yeah see that thing where “feels like” is more than the actual temperature?

I don’t want that.

I never want that.

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:36

@thegibson I have experienced that, living in Sacramento as a toddler, and apparently made a vow of NEVER AGAIN

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:38

@chuck @thegibson we’re baking a lasagna since the weather’s so mild (or rather since the AC’s so good and it’s what we have)

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:45

@chuck @thegibson @signal9 have done – a lot – but not for a couple decades.

Received invites to a few sessions, but didn’t really feel the urge so I’m wondering if it was a hyperfocus special interest cycle of 20-ish years.

hackers.town: 2024-06-06 Thu 14:52

@chuck @thegibson @signal9 I’ve been satisfying the overambitious world-building urge with Minecraft for the last year or so. I am pondering a shared server later, for other folks into my “spicy creative mode” play style.

Bouncy Dog surprisingly interested in Dune 2 for a minute there.

Movie Minion: (mumble mumble) spice *(mumble)

@IamMrsGeek : “the Spice Girls have been secured?”

Hit one of those scenes in Dune and now my brain’s doing a mashup.

Getting strong Jared Leto vibes off this Feyd-Ruatha, which does make for a character I enjoy hating. #dune2

Jumpy Dog tried to chase a roadrunner today so I gave her a stern lecture about how she’d just end up with an anvil on her head and her mother didn’t make her watch enough cartoons.

Anyways here’s one of those sunsets you want a few pics of as you’re out walking.

Orange clouds at sunset
