@Surasanji I believe the recent upgrade has fixed peertube. You can now view videos inside the web player again.

I'd like to see some more fun posts on our discourse server.

@freemo @Absinthe @doliu666 @metapsyche @Shamar @khird @soberaniamicologica @pschwede @jump_spider @stevenroose @aeveltstra @cwebber@octodon.social @noelle A gift in your honor; journal entry from this day, 1849, in the journal of Herman Melville:

Oct 25  A fair wind — good deal of rain — About noon saw a ship on the other tack. She showed her colors & proved a Yankee. The first vessel that we had seen so near. She excited much interest. By evening blew a very stiff breeze, & we dashed on in magnificent style. Fine moonlight night, & we rushed on thro’ snow-banks of foam. McCurdy invited Adler the Doctor & I into his room & ordered champagne. Went on deck again, & remained till near midnight. The scene was indiscribable. I never saw such sailing before.

echo ${PIPESTATUS[@]} # Show the return values of each command in a pipeline as one string. Or use an index number for the Nth command.

Just got done watching the first hellraiser for the second time.

So i was reading up on the contraindications for iodine and it says "It is not recommended in people who are less than 32 weeks pregnant" Pretty sure that technically applies to me :)

Anyone who is respectful, and generally engages with followers bidirectionally who wants me to follow them just reply to this thread and I'll follow (no promises I wont unfollow later).

Python-ish solution 

I am not happy with the pythonicallity of this, but it solves the problem...

Okay, here's one. I just finished helping someone worth through this. So it's pretty fun.

Write a program in Python, that can accept a paragraph string and and page
width and return an array of left AND right justified strings. NOTE: No words
should be broken, the beginning and end of the line should be characters).

You should provide instructions on how to execute your program and provide a
sample output.

Example:

Sample input:

Paragraph = "This is a sample text but a complicated problem to be solved, so
we are adding more text to see that it actually works."

Page Width = 20

Output should look like this:

Array [1] = "This is a sample"
Array [2] = "text but a"
Array [3] = "complicated problem"
Array [4] = "to be solved, so we"
Array [5] = "are adding more text"
Array [6] = "to see that it"
Array [7] = "actually works.”

The bots should be live again. With that said they may be a bit noisy over the next 24 hours as we tweak them. A few are all set to go off in the middle of the night so they tend to publish all in a row. We will keep an eye on it and potentially unlist them as needed.

The suite of services, including git, had some temporary downtime today as we addressed a bug in the system.

All services should be back up and running, no data loss occurred.

Today at my conservation genetics class my professor put this video in the projector. As i Understand is pretty famous, but I've never seen this before, it hit me.

My favorite line from one of my favorite books as well as my favorite Epic Poem. Dante's Inferno, Canto 1, written in Italian in 1321, this uses my favorite translation's English text (Hollander Translation). Written in copperplate for practice.
