> are a traditional that for some reason no one ever talks about. I am hell-bent on changing this because they are DA BOMB (are we still saying that?) and you should really, really try them. Syrniki (pronounced sYr-nee-key) translates to little cheese cakes in Russian.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Dmitry, software engineer, emacs and coffee geek from the Netherlands.

I learned about Mastodon and the fediverse quite a long time ago but joining only now.

Have been involved in the open source community since the high school as a contributor and Linux user, though now I mostly use macs.

Will be glad to chat on any topic including software engineering, open source, emacs, coffee or politics.

Looking forward to being a part of the community.

It's not a Russian keyboard, it's an International keyboard made in Russia.
I bought it because it's flexible, very thin, and can be folded. And, quoting from the box, it is "virtually indestructible"... Perhaps it is a metaphor?

Can't change the batteries because... it does not have any - it's a USB keyboard.

Anyway, my rant today is because the electricity is falling (since yesterday). I'm writing this from my laptop, surrounded by darkness...

You may or may not believe this (and I trully do not care) but I was using an international keyboard made in Russia while searching ukrainian photo-documentaries when suddenly, puf, the keyboard stopped working.
What a coincidence, huh?

@craigmaloney you joke but the bronze ratio is an actual thing equivalent to (3+√13)/2.

the golden ratio is just the first in a series of metallic ratios: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metall

there's also a Numberphile video on the silver ratio: youtube.com/watch?v=7lRgeTmxnl

@Pat
No. Yes. Not sure.

I'm done for today. Must rest. Have a nice evening.

Over & out.

There's an old proverb that says (more or less) the following:
Only pigs need to bathe, because only pigs get dirty.

#xonsh is a Unix-esque #shell.

xonsh is a dialect of #Python with added shell-based primitives. xonsh effectively acts as a superset of both Python, as well as #sh. xonsh can freely mix Python and shell syntax, with reasonable limitations. xonsh's REPL is also rich with syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and a featured history API.
