Neat. I mostly play Discworld MUD, which isn't very often due to small kids these days. It's a good all-rounder, has both fine grind and massive amounts of quests, exploration and crafting. Over the years I've become friends

Users of the email client mutt has a similar problem, it doesn't render HTML and CSS and displays it as text, so instead they've developed a variety of workarounds like pushing the email body through a terminal web browser before

I'm very into tight cadence and have a lot of options to choose from, doing most of my "pets" in Racket, Elixir, Picolisp and p5js, but I still sometimes generate a Maven project and start hacking in a unit test because libra

I'm not so sure someone who's good with Scheme will be bad with Python or Java. On the contrary, I suspect that such a person is likely to be better suited to build software in either of the latter two. I also suspect that Python

I'm quite fond of the Bumbu XO, spiced but not overly sweet. Nice bottle too. Stroh 80 sucks on its own, but as a component of a cocktail it's actually quite nice. Try mixing it into warm toddy or tonic based drink depending on se

Yeah, that's another perk. Service is typically very good as well, you can ask for advice and get decent, trustworthy answers beyond what shelf something is on. It's a quite different experience compared to regular profit optimise

They'd also done it on and off for like a decade already so everyone was used to it and had mitigations in place.

The one where I live closes at 1400. I've never been bothered by that, if something social suddenly comes up that I'd like to be tipsy for I'd grab something I already have or buy some "people's beer". I.e. 2.8

If it's anything like Sweden they have coddled reactionaries that are incapable of even the slightest planning and hence are constantly whining about the monopoly not being open at night or some weekend when they get a sudden urge to g

In some cases it might be worth the effort to extract such performance hotspots out of the BEAM and access them over port, NIF or socket. I'm not a fan of FFI stuff because I'm a simpleton, but have had an easy time incorporating

Pretty sure there has been BEAM connectivity for Oracle for at least five years. SQLite3 is one of the defaults in Phoenix and have been for a long time. I do mix phx.new curious_idea --database=sqlite3 at least once a week, it's a sub

Chatbots are more addictive than so called social media, with few exceptions like TikTok. They also solve the problem of publicity. When someone goes insane on Facebook it's rather visible, unlike when someone goes insane with a chatbo

I find this rather worrying, because the summaries I look at are frequently wrong or misleading. Over the last years I've moved over a lot of initial search to Wikipedia, which either answers directly or provides useful links.

OK, didn't notice that functionality when I've spent time with those, and to me they feel like more serious commitments, you know? There's more work involved and more maintenance and so on. Especially ElasticSearch is rather

To me, gambling and investment are very different activities.

If I wanted to gamble on stocks I'd rather look for a way to short Nvidia sometime soon.

I like Manticore. It's easy to setup, lean on resources and quite fast. I use it when I want to quickly pour a lot of semi-structured text into a database for exploratory browsing and prototype web applications. The auto-bolding of que

The US bailed from the Red Sea a while ago. The US just looked on while Russia, Turkey and Azerbaijan starved and ethnically cleansed Artsakh. The US decided the policy of turning the 2022 Ukraine invasion into a slowburn and sacrifice of t

"We haven't even had to ration food, metals, or any other type of sacrificial gestures." More than ten percent of the population is on SNAP and everything is corn, but there is no food rationing? Usians toil under an absurd l

Yes, it was killed by the second world war, then reignited by the US, as famously documented by Alfred McCoy. In the US it wasn't just Frank Sinatra that was friends with Lucky Luciano, you know.

It's weird how accounts like this one forgets to mention how the CIA rebooted global heroin trade (as well as addiction at home) and gave it to italian mafia networks, and of course subsequent deep interfacing with such actors. Especia
