Glanding, throat-mic; I see those Culture-isms :^) Certainly far from Banks' Minds sadly; though I could certainly see an Eccentric with a hyper-fixation on fantasy creatures

Oh man, I played with teapot once a long while ago, but couldn't figure out how to parse values from XDR files in $LANG, or export some given sheet into CSV or other format- which sadly put a stop to my experimentation. Super interesti

Does learning/using new words make you a worse writer? The handful of times I've used a thesaurus is usually 'for aesthetics', in that the word/phrase I have in mind clashes with the flow of the text. I know what I

Disclaimer: I used the /royal/ LISP--as in the 'lisp family'- my introduction, and language of choice, has been Clojure (who's qualification as a Lisp is technically contended by certain fundamentalists), but it is

Working with lisp quickly made me realize how over-rated operator precedence (or even the concept of "operators") is. All such effort and early grade-school hours spent on this arbitrary short-hand instead of treating the operatio

"Sense business wise" seems to vary quite a bit nowadays, at least every other day there's a headline of a company on here doing something almost exclusively for short-term value at the detriment to long-term health.

The proximity of this and Bitnami pulling their 'free hardened images' is amusing, and I'm just as concerned about another (eventual, but imminent) rug-pull down the line. Docker Inc historically seems comfortable with the ty

Well, paying money for consumer apps/services (besides games) has always seemed a bit more normalized in the iOS ecosystem, and I imagine it must be a _somewhat_ simpler interface than the lovecruftian monolith of windows-N saying this

Oh man, I first looked at this project what feels like _forever_ ago and remember thinking--almost verbatim, "Wow I wish I could see this 5 years from now", and lo and behold I suppose it has been about that long! Very happy to se

There's a batch of dialog that indicates an interest in 'digital sovereignty', so it sounds like they are less interested in being an explicit customer of a given company.

Looking around my area, unsure what the heuristics are for determining whats a climbing/boulder gym, but there's quite a few false-positives. I got excited because I thought there was some new options in my otherwise duopolized is

I've been using Clojure for a few years now and zippers have always been a blindspot (had no idea even _when_ they would be useful), this is a remarkable tutorial!

I'm a fan of grammatical radicalism, the parens are appropriate if they're meant to convey a certain tone/voice in the writing, like a quick added-in-fragment after you're done saying the original title (as if you were g

This is a conflation of "Simple" and "Easy" (rather, "complex" and "hard"). 'Simple vs Complex' is more or less objective, 'Easy vs Hard' is subjective, and changes based on the pe
