What is the procedure if I'm adding code to a file that's MIT licensed by someone else? I have the right to reuse the code, of course, and I could just keep it as is with the existing copyright notice in its own file. But, I'd like to add my code in the same file - how can I add my copyright for new code alongside the original code?

@Surasanji Doing pretty good.

We're about ready for rain to stop in Austin, TX. There's a citywide boil water notice going into the third day as flooding in the hill country has resulted in levels of silt in the water that the water treatment plants can't handle. To produce enough to meet demand they've had to dial back the treatment standards. So we're running out of (clean) water because of too much rain.

Just woke up, made my coffee, took my French press, and poured the coffee... on my cereal 😑

@SecretaryBird Looks like you and I have some things in common... I'm a PhD student in Computational Science, Engineering, and Math.

Rust question 

@schlink I don't do Rust, but I think the most efficient way to do this would be:

1) Initialize an empty dict(string => count)
2) Iterate through the file, and for each string *if* string in keys(dict), dict[string] += 1; *else* dict[string] = 1

Only makes one pass, which seems like it can't possibly be improved since you need to look at every entry.

Been working on integrating my earlier ncurses-telnet integration into my MUD game. Its been a huge pain in the ass trying to fix various issues including telnet codes, unicode rendering, window refreshing. But seems I have everything but the telnet code sorted out. Here is a little peek at the basic setup (more virtual windows will be added soon). Hopefully I'll have a bug free version to demo in a few days.

@coopersbeckett@mastodon.social Nothing irrational about that, take pleasure in the simple things!

@Surasanji Today is the first day of real fall here in Texas... went from 90 and sunny yesterday to a high of 47 and raining overnight.

Monday is my self-assigned day to work from home, so it's always nice. It's a good day to stay cozy with a hot drink and watch the rain while I work on a proposal abstract.

Woot! after three seperate failing attempts I managed to get Unicode box drawing characters on NCurses to work through telnet using Ruby. All my attempts in the past either rendered with plain ascii or not at all, it was very ugly.

This will ultimately get integrated into the Open-source :opensource: Ruby :ruby: MUD I've been writing called Aethyr (a text-based mmorpg)

Drinking this morning: a Brazil coffee, City roast. Unassuming, light fruitiness, no bitterness to speak of. A little bit of an off taste that probably means I need to deep clean my french press.
