GitHub Copilot costs $10/month... I wonder how much of that goes to the programmers whose code is plagiarized for its corpus 🤔

Immutant was a wonderful way to deploy Clojure to Wildfly when it started, but RedHat disbanded the immutant team years ago and for at least 3 years Immutant has been incompatible with Java > 1.08, due to a transitive dependency and a dauntingly complex opensource codebase. Now I am maintaining apps that need a total server shift due to the fact that I used Immutant years ago...

Curses. Guix made all my file permissions secure. Now nothing works.

Me clawing my way back to griping about gnome after being stuck in Windows for a week: "Yay! I'm a llama again!"

TIL something I should probably have known for at least a decade: inheritance in SQL! postgresql.org/docs/9.1/ddl-in

We have a project with some sensitive data. We want the main project to be git* open/public, but we want the data to be somewhere secure and private, but ideally still connected to the first repo for those with permissions. I would like them to be able to just "git pull" or clone and get the sensitive data in the right location. Is there a git convention for this scenario, or should I just make a second, private repo and tell them to manually pull it into the right locations?

Sometimes I play around, and mistakes teach me stuff. Today I learned, don't encrypt your main drive if you don't need to. It's not worth it if you have a pretty static location.

In a strange complication, I can't get my machine to see my USB boot disk, made with Rufus. Is it the format of the disk? Is it the encrypted boot process? Why is BIOS "boot from USB" not seeming to do the trick?

So thankful that I can hotpatch servers via remote REPL in an emergency

I'm a firm believer that if you can't explain to a six-year old you don't understand it (Einstein). Simplicity is the essence of genius.

Because they know how students + deadlines work

After I finish backing up my data I will try to fix the broken startup, but if that fails I will reformat. I think I will stick with guix, since it has the promise of true next-generation Linux and also reignites the dream of Lisp Machine emacs. I believe it's worth a second chance

I'm comfortable with command line in general, but this process of rescue disk to cryptsetup to mounting to recover encrypted data from a non-booting system ... this is flirting with lower level than I've ever dealt with before

The thing driving me craziest absut windows is... well.... the windows. Whoever decided spatial geometry is the best way to organize your work need to be updated

I'm stuck in Windows today. Yes, I'm bitter about this
