#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

- Bad: silent errors without any log of what's going on.
- Evil: email sending & retrieving silently failing and only a third perspective even tells you that you are blind and dumb for the past 30 hours.

@zulip never mind. It wasn't you; it was me.

@zulip Looks like my emails stopped getting through to my zulipchat.com instance for our US Monday holiday, and are not through yet. Do holidays knock things out?

@zulip and... down again since this morning. Should I be learning something from this recurrence?

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.

Oi. The #Javascript fails in my #Hugo partial if I insert it at the top, not the bottom. And here I thought #JS was a #HoistedLanguage...

@picofarad like... pulling out the power immediately as I put the laptop to sleep? 🤦

@picofarad that would make sense. I wonder what could have caused the driver "charged" flag to get stuck? Also, what's BMS? Bios?

Well, that was weird. My dock had stopped charging my laptop. I switched cables around and charged other things (my phone) just fine. Then I bypassed by dock; USBC straight from power to laptop. still no charge. I restarted exwm. Still no charge. So I shut down my computer, seeing if it would charge while it was off. Bingo! Then I restarted my machine. It kept charging! Was it the computers USBC failing to carry charge? Was it my Totu dock failing to paso the charge to the PC? Was it my custom power brick being too smart for its own good, failing to provide power? I'm not sure. But for sure, #NewYearVoodoo. I hope that's the last time I need to use that hashtag.

In order to accomodate Github 2fa I've started using Jürgen Hötzel #emacs #totp https://github.com/juergenhoetzel/emacs-totp , which is a beta library leaning heavily on the ancient but unknown-to-me core #auth library https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/auth.html#Overview . As if it wasn't enough to know "emacs can do that," it turns out "emacs did that decades ago."

@zulip and.. they just went through! Thanks!

@zulip it looks like the email functionality is down again. Is this a holiday thing?

@circfruit what is your `tramp-compat-temporary-file-directory` set to be? Mine is /tmp

@circfruit ooh. I want to know this too, except with deletes...

My emacs is failing to negotiate addresses that always worked before, though Curl does just fine by them. Errors indicate that #gnutls might be the problem. I wonder what happened and if more will break if I update it... #guix
