That's all you need to know about "standardization" IRL

The good thing about standards is that there are so many that each can have his or her own ;)

You won't believe it, but in German and French it's another two totally different words.

JFYI: you can symlink any directory to the root on macOS. Makes it much more convenient if you write full paths often (e.g. /ws instead of /Users/tonsky/ws)

@nikitonsky Seems cruel not to allow your person to have both a torso and legs…

any sufficiently advanced civilization will just stay home and play videogames

I go into my kitchen and I look at my fridge, whose job is to move heat outside of itself into the room. Centimetres to the right of it is the oven, whose job is to make heat, and we don't like using it in the summer because its whole thing is making heat. Further right is the AC vent, which is connected to a furnace downstairs, which is connected to a big fan outside which blows my heat into the neighbourhood for a few minutes each morning to dry out the air and make it tolerable with a fan. Right next to the furnace, within a metre of it, is the hot water tank, which is another inside-out fridge that takes heat from the basement and puts it into my shower water.

None of these machines are connected together in any way at all

Like, what are we doing here. What are we doing as a species.

@ifixcoinops What we are doing is obediently buying what is offered us from corporations that have no idea beyond making money here and now. Depressing.

@ifixcoinops It seems like one big heat pump and some smart pipes could get it done.

@ifixcoinops
The hotter it gets, the more we need the A/C. The more we use the A/C, the more greenhouse gasses we contribute to the atmosphere. The more greenhouse gasses we contribute, the hotter it gets . . .

It seems to me rather more like an addiction than a plank in a political platform.

I’m glad we got away from hard-coding colors in style attribute to much more reusable class attribute

@nikitonsky But… they’re attributes, not tags 🫢

@nikitonsky @lucp and it is even supported, tempted to say encouraged, by the editor (VSCode I presume) even showing small colour-ui elements.

Days since I was last confused by 12AM/PM: 0

If only there was a way to unambiguously reference any hour of a day using just one number.

every time i see something i want to buy that i don't actually need, i keep looking at more and more expensive versions of the thing, and convincing myself that the cheap ones would be no good, until the only one i would be willing to buy is completely out of my price range, so i don't buy anything at all. i've saved a lot of money this way

Damn! Pepe!

@jk noted. It is a very good strategy!

I feel like text selection should have no holes in it

Zaͩnͦsͤt̀́rͤa̅̆̈

@nikitonsky That is acceptable to me, compared to text with sub- and/or superscript. Can't think of an example, however…

Morj

@nikitonsky Or you can do like firefox does sometimes and have selections from adjacent lines overlap each other

demonparty

@nikitonsky perhaps it could highlight the whitespace characters in the selection? I.e. paragraph break is just two newlines. ↵

Like this.

Niki Tonsky

We need a stop sign. But make it, you know, friendlier. Less aggressive

Niki Tonsky

This is just too good to pass by

Stefano Rodighiero

@philomates If I understood it correctly, it sounds similar to the notion of "examples" in Glamorous Toolkit: an example is a test that returns an object. Coupled with the rich system of inspectors GT (and Smalltalk) provides, it is an excellent way to explore (and document) a software system
