Obscure error with a library when updating an old project. Search it and behold! The exact error! Oh, that was a post by me, 5 years ago. Joy! The solution still works!

That was an unexpected emotional roller-coaster.

Very cool cast! It was fun recognizing people by their voices while I did lunch with the family. "Ah, that's David Nolan . And Lamduh!"

@humanetech@mastodon.social it can't do bg images unless you're in chrome. FireFox Zoom also doesn't have grid view (dunno why). And on mobile devices, it doesn't do full screen (though it tries).

@humanetech@mastodon.social When I have to use Zoom a couple times a week, I strictly use it from within my FireFox to avoid this.

@SmartFella A spare phone charger was the only USBC charging tool I have right now, and it is enough to power everything EXCEPT the laptop.

@SmartFella The USBC is my Dock, so unplugging it would unplug 2 monitors, mouse, keyboard PLUS the undesired computer power. It is all or nothing.

@SmartFella I think the power plugged in to the dock is only 18v (phone), which is too little for the full charge demands . I want the computer to stop making that demand , since it has a direct connection for power.

@SmartFella the Dell Precision has a power pORT for a round AC plug, and also a single USBC port from which I can draw. Power through the dock. Yeah, weird that it has two ways to take a charge

@SmartFella It's not actually my phone charging it. It's a charger that used to be used to charge a phone but is now the power-in for my dock

My Dell laptop has a power cord/port, and it can also be charged by the USBC dock. The BIOS doesn't offer me the ability to turn off USB charging, though, so my low-power phone charger barely manages to charge the computer and power the HDMI connections and peripherals. I hoped the BIOS had the option, but basically I want to be able to say, "don't charge from the USBC when you are also charged in to the power port." Is that too much to ask?

@asamonek Great questions! As a first note, "map" is a higher order function that works basically the same in Clojure, JavaScript, Python, Perl, and many (most?) programming languages.

Importantly, it is NOT to be thought of as returning a subset (that would be the similarly ubiqitous `reduce` function, or in Clojure, variants like `(for)` and `(filter)`). Rather, all map functions across these languages serve to "map" a given function across a plurality of targets (a "collection", in Clojure parlance).

Have you yet encountered the algorithm Map Reduce, made famous by Google's heavy use of it last decade? This feels relevant to your line of inquiry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce
