@zulip and... it's back now, and all my queued messages went through at once 😂

One of the big downsides to being a hosted language like #Clojure is that, regardless of how awesomely stable the ideology with the language itself, you can't avoid problems if your host decides to make breaking changes. I am still doing damage control on the painful #Java 9+ #CoreChanges, where they decided it was time to shrink Java's core library and various dependent packages broke.

@zulip is #zulip hosted service email down right now? My zulip is neither receiving nor sending from my hosted instance right now.

The problem with the @username syntax is that, while the functionality is as common as emojis, it depends on the implementation of whatever host -- so what you write on Mastodon will not be treated the same on Twitter, or Instagram, or Telegram, or wherever else you are @ing. So hashtags are a much more universally portable way of communicating, and don't require linkage to a particular account or service. Also, a pity it doesn't have a formal name, like "octothorpe". #HashtagsNotAtSign

I guess that's the story of Google. And possibly FaceBook.

Does anyone know how to convert my images from webp to small-ish png? Right now when I run dwebp, the resulting png is at least triple the file size of the webp. But when my camera saves directly to png, it's same quality but much smaller filesize. What's with this?

You take one weekend off to have a baby, and 450 emails are awaiting... well, at least it stayed in low triple-digits.

One power of the #emacs Personal Development Environment (#PDE): the ability to jump to my notes files from any place in my work. https://orys.us/uG

AND.... suddenly it's working. I didn''t do anything, but 45 minutes of debugging.

I am at a loss in my #clojure app. I've loaded a dependency which has cljc code and works fine in other apps of mine. But now when I load it in cljs, it is all nil. Kondo reads it and knows, eg, function signatures for it, but any effort to use it from the repl is just a lot of nil. I have restarted the repl multiple times, but no dice. "type" on any of it, even the NS declaration, is "nil". But Kondo knows it fine. What!?

Time is NOT simple. #Emacs #orgmode has made assumptions succesfully for 20+ years, but in today's age, timezones make it tough. How tough? Check out the detailed, non-toxic discussion going on right now. https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=emacs-orgmode%40gnu.org&q=date:20230114&o=newest
