ah, that's the stuff. Because Gnu `date` can create Julian dates but then cannot read them. #babashka #EayNumber #JulianDates #Clojure

#humor #python and #CLang performance are largely synonymous to outsiders thanks to wrappers, but in a conversation just between the two of them, speed and errors may be characteristic. I like this double-jab

No matter how much I required or load-file or check-parens, nothing explained why half a file of #emacs #elisp wasn't loading. Somehow the closing three `'")' had been stripped from two neighboring lines, and somehow the syntax had been balanced enough to satisfy the checkers. That was to hunt down.

Filling this out for a former employee -- what's the difference between "Fired" and "Laid off"?

And the one-line winner for downloading a list of URLs is `parallel wget < moira.html`, credit to https://blob.cat/objects/be683b98-3ce6-418a-8bac-20de958a73e4 @icedquinn

The nature of the URLs produced a list of files with useless names. But a little refactoring and regexp of the source list and then an #emacs #kmacro, and they were all renamed sensibly.

And another day in which I didn't even LOOK at any code... some programmer. yeah? #emacs #orgmode #agenda

Wait... do you seriously mean to tell me that I've spent hours debugging #clojure the fact that `#js` is NOT recursive? So #javascript #clojurescript `#js {"authorizationParams" #js {"redirect_uri" (-> js/window .-location .-origin)}}` is NOT #js {"authorizationParams"v {"redirect_uri" (-> js/window .-location .-origin)}}`? I probably read this somewhere, but UGH!

And yes, I know that even fixed this equality wouldn't work because JS always breaks #CLJS equality... but the point is clear.

Apparently I need to practice the "refactor so it's idiomatic, without changing the behavior". #clojure #testing

Derived from https://xkcd.com/303/ to express my own experience. I don't often spend time compiling in my work as a webdev, but TDD and the regression tests take some serious time.

The pamphlet lists this as one of the bad signs, but I'm telling you -- same room #texting rocks for sharing plans without interruption in a room full of kids #HealthyLiving #DigitalDetox #PrivateInPublic

Finally retrieved my little #keyboard. Feels so good! Look at those ridiculous bottom rows. 13 keys space wasted with irregular size. #Planck #Isolinear #Matrix #QWERTY

Lately (err... at least the last year) I've been encountering a number of issues because my #git repos have `filemode=true`, causing loads of errors that take a moment to realize that merging them cannot solve the problem. Why is this ever a default? I can imagine cases where it is needed, but certainly they should not be default.

I also just discovered the "always hide media" option

#GitHub down

wow. Text-browser Nitter is actually quite nice. https://nitter.net/ChrisO_wiki/status/1673963225845493764#m

no instance of #piped.video is working for me. eg https://piped.video/watch?v=1ZPopZJipnA

#emacs #orgmode org-agenda-fortnight-view. When did this happen!? It so happens that some of my schedule makes more sense that way, though.

I've never been so proud of #EWW #emacs #TextBrowser
