@Johannab yup yup. Depressed? BPD? Bipolar? “Explosive outburst disorder?”
Not saying none of those, but mostly neurospicy as it turns out.

@Johannab I’d say it’s better now, but while technically true it feels more accurate to say “it’s possible now.”

Remembered the Astro publishing flow I had for my Dendron-based notes and now I’m side-eyeing my current Obsidian-Hugo flow.

@raven @Binder Heck I rarely had more than three.
Course, my players ran through an adventure more like a vaudeville act, so the combat balance of modules was less of a factor.

i often wish i had the confidence of my fellow mediocre white dudes
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 11:32
To be clear, I am exaggerating for comic effect. I’m good at some stuff (that my brain won’t consistently let me acknowledge) and bad at other stuff (that my brain will readily remind me of whether I need it or not).
But I look like a mediocre white dude, sound like a mediocre white dude, and the joke works dammit.

@spinningthoughts I found JSON the most useful export format for Logseq. Been a couple years since I compared, but I felt that OPML lost useful metadata.
Logseq’s Export Formats Random Geekery

@tk single parent household, so I’ll have to go with Mom on this one.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 13:54
well, poop. Another job turning me down because they wanted people specifically familiar with the tools they’re using.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 13:55
I mean it’s a reasonable expectation, but my multiple decades of chasing shiny trinkets does not instill confidence I guess.

@minego @mcgrew I mean, this was the Spring MVC + React shop, so they’re probably hoping hard that tools and situations don’t change.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 14:27
@tk wouldn’t be surprised if it was a factor.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 14:33
@mcgrew @minego and it’s amazing how much Java and JavaScript I have learned over a quarter century trying my damnedest to avoid both.
Get to some of the actual study material and I’m like “yep know this i know this and this and oh that old project stole from this so I know what it looks like”

A React Tutorial
“Accordion: Learn to create interactive collapsible content panels.”
Sure. <details/>. Ready for the next tutorial.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 15:26
No but for reals. Did a dashboard a couple gigs back and they wanted an accordion component, so I spent 15 minutes on some silliness with htmx, a few <details/> in a div, sprinkle in some CSS, and they thought I was a fucking wizard.

@tk same, though that may not be particularly appreciated by the household.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 15:37
probably the “wizard” part came in when I turned off JavaScript to make sure everything still looked the same with full page loads instead of view fragments, and it did.
No live updates, obviously, but I probably clicked around too quick for them to think about that.

@mcgrew it’s good, but it mainly got as popular as it is because of the shitposting.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 17:05
@genehack sign one demonic accord and everyone starts making assumptions.
hackers.town: 2024-02-09 Fri 17:19
@halcy my favorite is the defensiveness in replies, which is what always happens in the face of a Shitpost of Truth.
