"Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot."

Ahh, these are tables! To think I used to sit on them. So gauche.

"You should not be distracted by anything, you infant. When you work, you work. Does fucking SEAL Team Six get distracted by Twitter? No. Why not? Because they focus. They have discipline. They know that what they do has consequences. People will die."

Just one of the reasons I loved Constantine Kyriakos.
It's super duper unfinished, and I'm constantly tweaking things. There's not much to do beyond some basic interactions in the first room...but, the source code now exists. #Euphoria #gamedev

Announcing the 0kb.club

The WWW has become a bloated mess. Many pages are loading megabytes of Javascript to show you a few kilobytes of content. These things are a cancerous growth on the web and we should stand up against it.

We can make a difference - no matter how small it may seem. The 0kb Club is a collection of web pages that focus on performance, efficiency and accessibility.

There’s no need to suggest new web pages for the 0kb Club. All pages that are truly without bloat are already on there.

If your pages exceeds 0kb, you might consider the 250kb.club or the 1MB.club which are the inspiration for this page.

After MANY months of consideration, and many MORE hours of work, I've finally migrated my website from WordPress to Hugo!

Check it out! (Website link + blog post about the change below)

I want someone to make "karate kid: covid". He'd learn to defeat opponents with his mind only, no touching. And he'd train his mind by making bread. In the dough-jo.

When we die we are reincarnated as human. Not all in one spot. Your mind fragments and becomes part of all the human minds.

(Not something I actually believe, just an idea that occurred to me as possible story line)

“Packaging Kubernetes for Debian”:

This raises key questions: bundling (“vendoring”) and its implications, contemporary #FreeSoftware development practices and their impact on distro relevance, avoiding/resolving technical disputes, and more.

#Guix has answers to some issues but is otherwise in a situation similar to that of #Debian.

I just made a shitpost in a thread on the birdsite and was sure to provide citation and indicate omitted material in a quote with ellipses and I feel like that says a lot of what you ought to know about me.

Thanks for being a totally decent and yet entirely entertaining person, Alex Trebek.

San Antonio to Columbus, OH, to Baxley, GA, to San Antonio. Over a week... Still, that was a lot of driving...

I think my butt has a permanent dent now where my mask sits in my back pocket.

Latest chapter of 20020, the sequel to 17776, is fantastic.

Open Letter to Apache OpenOffice: Today marks 20 years since the source code to OpenOffice was released. And today we say, LibreOffice is clearly the future of the suite (see the timeline). Let's all get behind it, for the benefit of all users: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl
