@b6hydra I'm still wrapping my head around this. When you renice all you games to -10, what is that actually doing? Giving them priority resource consumption?

@trinsec It's the Delete and Redraft I'm talking about. Is there a real difference? Or is it a gmail-style "undo for the next 30-seconds" sanity check?

Giving the hashtag page in the admin interface a long overdue facelift... Among other things.

💡Do you know the difference between var, let & const in JavaScript?

So, for a low monthly price Twitter will give me what Mastodon has had for... how long now?

til `renice` for changing the priority (eg resource rights) of a running process. I also didn't know "priority" was a thing. computerhope.com/unix/renice.h

@freemo are those from a mastodon repo somewhere, or are they sourced from another library somewhere?

How can I find out what characters are available in or ? For example, I found out I can use :emacs: in my profile, but what else is there?

Funny; google updated their security measures yesterday, requiring me to make app passwords to send and receive email. Funny thing is, my old password was twice as long and included at least two character classes not included in the thing they gave me.

Here is what happened after I decided that gmail's changing email security also warranted finally changing to imap, and then letting it download the mail all night (and it's still not done). Future issues expected.

As of about an hour ago, my gmails setup started breaking my getmail. Should I fix it or can I get away with completely dropping them?

Today I discovered the "original" source for the term " ". Read and enjoy. winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/

PS: The site is as horrible as the writing is not. Don't let that stop you.

We chafe at the "impurity of the syntax artifacts that have to be injected to do whitespace editing."

Enjoying catching up on old episodes of the @JacekSchae Podcast, I enjoyed an insightful interview with the Shaun Labron, author of Parinfer who is apparently no longer on Twitter. Now what I want to know is how SmartParens came about as the next thing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/

I've always been fascinated to hear @stuarthalloway talk about using an environment that changes once/decade. Enjoying catching up on @JacekSchae Podcast, Great interview about his insight into Spartan IDE and clean mental attics. soundcloud.com/user-959992602/

I was just inspired to have this partially-thought-out plan. For the next week I will not scroll any social media -- I will do all my reading via RSS streams and emails, for which I've set all my notification settings. I will not visit social media directly except to post.
