You and I have very different notions of fun.
Despite all my rage I’m still a rat refreshing this page.
I use arch btw.
Credibly accused of being a fascist, liberal, commie, anarchist, child, boomer, pointlessly pedantic, a Russian psychological warfare operative, and db0’s sockpuppet.
Pronouns are she/her.
Vegan for the iron deficiency.
You and I have very different notions of fun.
got it in one :) biological classification heirarchy shit confuses me too. Actually it’s really funny in plants because often horticultural and biological classifications differ. Just in case the world made too much sense.
farm transparency are heroes. Australian farming is horrific and their work to expose it is fantastic.
Unfortunately oz is a police state and our rights to a transparent society evaporated in the racist fear following 11/9/01 so here we are.
Recently Australia prosecuted a whisteblower who had evidence of war crimes performed by troops deployed in Afghanistan. So it’s good to know that the court system isn’t speciest in suppressing information at least.
100% read it. I think most things aren’t “must reads” even my favourite stories, but some have such unique ideas or skillful execution that if you enjoy literature you owe it to yourself to read them.
There’s obviously a very large list, I suggested some I didn’t think would be represented here. The dispossessed is a short read and uncomplex in its construction and pros so it’s easy to squeeze in a chapter here and there or before bed.
Idk if you will agree it’s a must read, that’s obviously quite subjective, but I highly doubt you’ll find the time you spent with it unsatisfying.
Unlike tissue paper yaml is actually fit for purpose. I actually don’t know of any lang that literally can’t run a program. The most you could stretch what you’re saying to is that some esolangs are akin to making bricks of packed tissues to build with. They are art projects not serious submissions though.
I don’t like js as much as anyone else but as evidenced by reality it works. Programmers need to stop sniffing their own farts, you have such strong opinions about the most insane shit when at most you should be talking about narrower scopes for use and trade offs.
Ursula Le Guin’s the dispossessed is pretty impactfull. Very confronting anarchist utopia that is not a Paradise.
The lions of al rassan by guy gavriel Kay (worked on the silmarillion). A deeply melencholic fictional reflection on the reconquista of the Iberian peninsula.
The liveship traders by Robin Hobb has the best realised characters in fiction I’ve ever seen. Jaw dropping craft.
And finally, an entire shelf of book: The malazan book of the fallen. you will laugh, you will cry, and in the end you will love compassion.
Hey would you rather build from wood or steel?
What glue is better: 2 part epoxy or PVA?
Do you prefer soap or bleach as cleaning agent?
Pleased to have touched your life with levity, stranger.
That is absolute nonsense. Where does the idea that the nastiest expression of desires is the truest come from? It’s a completely absurd and unverifiable idea.
People do stuff, putting people in power over others tends to result in the people doing worse stuff. The variable we can tweak here is the power.
Programmers hate everything. You could design a spec which serenades you with angel song and feeds you chocolate dipped grapes and someone would be like: This is awful, my usecase is being a dog.
Teenagers after rolling in yellow #5 at a party.
Fuck yeah topical reference
I am a soy supremacist but it’s hard to find unsweetened stuff. I have a sweet tooth but I prefer to keep that to deserts, not everything needs to taste like a lollie.
Very few people start with big transgressions. Usually stuff escalates.
It’s why need systems that don’t put humans in situations where bad behaviour is incentivised. Also why we need to be forgiving when someone comes forward with a small transgression, so people don’t get stuck in escalating cycles.
I’m sure this guy did some solid research once upon a time.
Nah there’s heaps of shit I can’t do and even the stuff I’m alright at I’m not very good at (after all, not like it’s built yet haha).
Risks like long term staying and mitigation of natural disasters?
Some are more awks than not but I actually love feed two birds with one scone and use it all the time.
I’d think rats, except they came over carried on vermin. So who knows.
Sick. I’ve been messing around with esp32s in some of my leisure time. Have been thinking of making my own to log rainfall and like radiant intensity data to better help me care for my garden. I admit to more strongly considering something off the shelf every time I work on it haha.
What did you end up getting/what are you most keen to use it for?
A classic fashion excessory worn for the styling.
This tool is carried just because it feels nice in the hand.
Well you might enjoy that coffee is a drupe then :)
