Ha. My partner (who moved to Houston around middle school age) and her mom both call it the feeder, but I always assumed it was a midwest thing since mom's side of the family is all from Michigan. That said, the old Harvard Dialect sur

I'm pretty happy with it. I try alts when they come up since I might like to use the same thing on macOS and Linux, but I've yet to try one that both has the right features and doesn't feel sluggish.

I will lightly defend a lot of this description in American Psycho. I agree that I generally gloss over that sort of description , but in the case of this one book I felt like the obsessively-materialist descriptions in it did a great job

Not op, but I wouldn't call it boring. It's a lot like thinking, I guess. (Much of my thinking is already roughly abstract-lingual, so reading feels of-a-piece. I would characterize myself as having a running interior narrative, b

You can inline the script within nix and get them all in one file (but that implies buy-in on nix, or maintaining 2 copies of the script). At the risk of overstepping (it sounds like you might be a little interested) here are a few links in

A good example for lulz is https://github.com/zevweiss/booze , a FUSE binding for bash. Aside: I've wondered aloud if we could figure out how to systemically compile coreutils into true bash builtins for performanc

FWIW we can do this* with bash in the nix ecosystem (not that this knowledge should deter you from checking out scrapscript). * you said locking the hash in the script, and in the nix approach these are generally locked in either a lockfi

Just writing to agree, since you are getting pushback. @Foxboron wrote a compelling if clickbaity post a few months back to poke at the bit-for-bit interpretation of what reproducibility means in nixland: https://linderud.dev&#x2

Thanks :) Generally curious about new authoring/markup tools and systems, so I'll keep an eye out for the post. (The quoted blog post is part of an effort to explain some work I've been doing to single-source documentation an

Thanks for the chuckle :) Good to see you here--I noticed your manuscript on GH (probably sometime last year?) during a ~vanity search because it quotes one of my blog posts. ( https://hypermedia.systems/tricks-of-the-htmx-ma

On cue, I'm currently getting a late patio day on May 31st (and it's even chilly enough for goosebumps). A line of storms is pushing through this morning, so it was 67 out when I woke up at 7 and is still 68 now (almost 10:40).

They are talking about printing something on a variety of substrates including skin. We constantly shed skin. The powers-that-be in whatever dystopian mark-of-the-beast fantasy you're imagining would have to regularly reapply these sen

Not shocked, just wondered :) This might be a difference between people who have come to think of their time/productivity as money or at least a resource to cultivate. Many years ago it was very hard for me to justify a new laptop for

I'd be interested in seeing if giving them one or a few days free shifted their response much. I've always liked working in a third space more than home, but there are also a lot of factors that go in to the places I pick and thos

They mentioned "NOAA's USHCN reference network of well sited thermometers" (I opened a search to go figure out what they mean, but work interceded.)

I stand corrected! :) In my defense, I did personally find it quite suspenseful to wait for my vague sense that chaos would eventually reward me to cash out. Now that I reflect, I might have also called it "WU WEI". I know I also

Some tiles are ~solvable without building anything. Sometimes this is dead-simple (the balls just drop from the top on through). Sometimes, they'll solve if you're patient enough (the balls pile up, shift around, and sooner or lat

We have some common cause / need in the Nix/nixpkgs ecosystem, where finding missing package dependencies (whether they're bare invocations or absolute paths) is a bit of an ongoing problem. The golden path stuff isn't t

I'm just the tiniest bit disappointed to have confirmation that mods probably didn't wait around for one of my zero-element machine submissions (I imagine I called it "patience is a virtue", given how long I had to sit

I like this one: https://chocolatebar.com/products/extreme-dark-88-dark-choco... I'm a little bitter-sensitive, and it's the most-pleasant 88%+ I've had so far. Still inevitably some carbs in cocoa, so y

I had to ponder this for a minute :) I picked up dark chocolate as a snack in early 2020, which I chose very specifically to avoid carbs. I also use cocoa powder to make low-carb ice cream for the same reason. I guess I've used it this

I've yet to go through one of these, but I've at least imagined it would be a decent format. (For me, at least. I don't parallel-task very well in the first place, and being under the magnifying glass makes it significantly w

Falls/fell would presumably still be valid and likely satisfiy the concern here.

Seems like a reasonable reading. It's only got 3 commits and 2 are from 18 hours ago--one of which fiddled the repo-made-public date and added the arxiv link--so perhaps there's a private working repo and they decided to make a ~c
