I have thoughts about the effort to gentrify Belltown (started way before Biscuit Bitch so not 100% relevant here)

But real thought is how many of these complaints could be addressed if Amazon etc paid full taxes rather than making small business shoulder the burden?

Excellent illustration of why you should read your news via RSS rather than news apps or (screenshots of) tweets.

… and now I finally installed F-Droid. And Feeder.

Took me long enough, but remember I set my app-installing habits on iOS, where everything not sanctioned is suspect.

Ugh. Hate-clicked a promoted political tweet.

Once again noticing how every article that passes by me from a Vice property seems tuned to make me feel awful about the world.

hackers.town: 2019-09-17 Tue 14:03

@rabcyr True, but I already knew that so I can skip the articles.

Random things not working. No idea why. Maybe if I reboot.

okay the thing about adding layers of complexity to your site build is when you do a mundane check to see if layer A broke you find out that layer G broke.

update: removing virtualenvs and heck let’s remove and reinstall that python version while we’re at it.

hackers.town: 2019-09-17 Tue 19:14

ah ha! macOS update broke stuff, which cascaded to broken Python + Pillow. Fix:

sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target /

skimming Redshift documentation

“based on postgresql”

ooh!

“version 8”

ah.

“except these features (links to multiple summaries)”

oh.

So it’s like how 300 was based on the Battle of Thermopylae. Or how Fargo was based on a true story.

ok.

Sometimes I add “walk the dogs” to my task list to make me feel like I’m accomplishing that much more.

(They get walked whether it’s on my list or not, this is just a self-cookie moment)

@pnathan Thinking of my mostly unused 2015 MBP, and how it might be fun to put Manjaro on it.

@Gina happy birthday! Good news is that downhill may be a very gradual incline.

Heck I didn’t even notice until the mystery injury at 45 from going for a walk!

@Gina decades of suspense!

Gradually transitioning, I have learned, to decades of resigned sighs

“oh there’s my shoulder again. Shouldn’t have picked up the pencil from that angle”

Misread “drug house” as “drug horse” and honestly the criminal mastermind in my version is way cooler.

Work gets the Hot Dog Stand theme.
