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

I was actually wrong about this. Fresh restart on a GB connection this morning and still it froze in the main process.

I want to take a certain RSS link from one of my blogs and have that go automatically to Mastodon. I want the approach to be open source, and repeatable (other blogs, maybe other places). Anyone know of such ready solutions? #rss #mastodon #syndication

I thought that I needed an emacs sub-process to run Telega without it freezing my #emacs #exwm. Turns out I just neeeded a fast internet connection; now that I have true broad-band it works out (after a 30-60 second initialization freeze, which it does in a sub-process, too). Elfeed still seems to choke things down if I don't have it in a subprocess, though. Running "refresh" makes some kind of unescaping loop in the main process.

I converted my animated gif to a webp and the result was 4.5 times larger. Isn't webp supposed to be better?

The "dragon" application (think drag-on) is super handy for #emacs #exwm and probably was made for tiling window managers like iw3m. Go from dired to, eg, Google Drive drag-and-drop. Don't mind the Google Drive view error (I dunno what caused that). https://orys.us/uC

Listening to a webdev podcast I enjoy, whenever the show runners bring up Typescript (all the time), I mentally substitute #Clojure specs. #gradualtyping

The unsubscribe link for this recruiter email I received includes a UPN identifier of around 700 characters that gets stuck on the URL query args to match the unsubscriber to the email. In all seriousness, why wouldn't a regular 16-char UUID have done the trick? I thought the whole point of UUIDs is that they would be virtually impossible to collide?

Since I change layouts regularly, I write QWERTY with a Dvorak accent

Finally used fnil in #Clojure: to extend a function to support nil case without NPE-ing you! My use: a function that needs to handle strings, collections, or nil, and doesn't know which it will get.

Logic errors. Where would we be without them? "Why is that Javascript running too soon?" "Why is that SQL failing to count availability?" "Why is does my function incorrectly know when 'busy' and 'not busy'"?
