My hummingbird impression left @IamMrsGeek at a loss for words.

I thought the default checker in Go for VS Code was being a little too generous.
Set up golangci-lint; enable all; disable deprecated; run report; get satisfyingly overwhelmed (“aagh so much! I knew it!”); decide to share; get overall picture with --show-stats; decide I can do better; make pretty with #Nushell
I’m sure not all reported issues are significant, but figuring out which are is a good way to accelerate my Go learning.

@minego the dev cycle has been more stable recently, but given their explicitly stated willingness to break things before 1.0?
I still advise staying away unless hyper-curious or you’re on Windows and really dislike PowerShell.

@minego Exactly! I’m just helping with the sorting system.

I was kind of on the fence before, but now I think I’m good as-is.

@raganwald @luis_in_brief @kissane and even the original analogy, which started in our Northern California town oh maybe a week after the news from Guyana, makes a lot of assumptions about the level of consent involved.

Budget woes progressed far enough along that I finally canceled that $2/month Google personal storage.
I’d mostly been ignoring it for a while anyways, but still. That’s kind of a sad.

@jacob But I like telling people about the mountainses

Severe thunderstorm warning
Excessive heat warning
Blowing dust advisory
Air quality alert
We live in a place that keeps the National Weather Service busy.

Me: “I’ll give the dogs a quick walk. Shouldn’t be too bad.”
We step outside.
(lightning followed by thunder with an uncomfortable promptness)
Me: ok pups, go now or forever hold your pees.

ah and there’s that monsoon season thing

@jnkrtech I looked those up when a friend in Phoenix was experiencing them a while back.
Fascinating stuff!

What with interesting weather and all, thought I’d switch over to the laptop. Maybe hook it up to the monitor real quick (for the first time since moving here a month ago) so I still have all the screen real estate.
I have of course been wrestling with this configuration for an hour.
But at least the flicker’s steadied enough that I can see what I’m typing.
hackers.town: 2024-07-11 Thu 18:29
@jnkrtech All reasonable suggestions. I have way more common sense now than I might’ve a few decades ago.
More scar tissue, too.
These things are probably related.

@AlgoCompSynth when this book does get published, I suspect Elon Musk will be a heavily cited expert.
Was gonna say he’d write it but let’s be realistic.

@tek “Drummond, who is now Oklahoma’s attorney general”
of course he is
hackers.town: 2024-07-11 Thu 20:00
@tek oh thank goodness I got the names mixed up. Her lawyer is attorney general now. Got it.
Names are hard, sorry.

Firmware update for the monitor seems to have had some positive effect.
Still has flickers and tears when connected via DisplayPort to the MBP, but not as bad as it was.
which is really great for a $1,500 monitor and $2,600 laptop (each minus a couple years of depreciation but even so)
hackers.town: 2024-07-11 Thu 21:26
Setting refresh rate to 60Hz on both monitor and display settings seems to have resolved any flickering.
This is fine.

A little concerned that the same code against the same graph is catching more issues when run on macOS than when run on Windows.
(issues as I’ve defined them, like repeated links and other aesthetically displeasing tidbits)
The likeliest culprit is not the operating system itself, but my code in there making some kind of naive UNIX-based assumptions. Lord knows I’ve caught myself at it before, applying os.path.split() on a URI for example.

just wrote a Go function that sort of lets me pretend I have /x in regular expressions.
It just plays scrunchie with a multiline backtick string, but still.
JAPH gonna JAPH i guess
