Beyonce as a data engineer: "If you liked it then you should have put a UUID on it!"

@josemanuel Update: looks like it the results did get registered correctly, and the issue is in the results email.

I rarely hear Python criticized, but from R of all places!

JavaScript/TypeScript is the "if everyone jumped off a cliff would you jump after them?" of programming languages.

@dawranliou Emacs actively puts things close to you, not out of your reach. Interactive documentation is the big thing here, everything is under your fingers and easily accessible.

For fun I want to create an off-line quick-running version of caissa.com/chess-tools/pgn-edi : just a quick chess GUI that can play moves and load PGN files; no engines, databases, accounts, etc. I think might fit. Any recommendations on getting started, @borkdude?

@worldsendless well .... once-upon-a-time pictures and software releases and things came floating by as encoded text files in the Usenet spool directory. You had to fish them out before they expoired, hope you had all the pieces of the .tar file and use uu-decode to turn the "binhex"-ed ASCII files back into binaries (pictures, etc). I think I got X11 that way...

On a podcast a neo-vimmer introduced a term that I think is valuable: -- Personal Development Environment, which describes my or his VIM as opposed to out-of-the-box solutions that are ever-popular and ever-changing

@natecull @alcinnz @mathew in a language with closures, where you can pass around functions as first class objectd with their scope pointers attached, you already can’t rely on a stack alone to keep your scopes active. you need a heap and a garbage collector- or you just can’t have closures

There is always some really fascination software archeology to happen when one starts tapping in to the history of . Like, `gnus-uu-decode-binhex`. What in the world is that for?

Oh. xscreensaver only partially supports ~/ for your file path -- enough for you to think it is working in some places, but failing when it counts.

Software developers (not @phil_eaton) are being gaslit: writing code and solving problems are bad things to do, and consuming big name libraries is a good thing to do, all under the façade of "trade-offs", "economics", "efficiency", "cognitive load", and/or another cliché. twitter.com/phil_eaton/status/

@worldsendless I love artist mode but, as I don't use it frequently enough, I have to relearn it each time. Ending a polyline always gets me.
