Last night, when a technical issue is mentioned: “check here, go there, confirm x and y, open that, see if you need to do z, let me know if there’s any problems.”

Last night, when confronted with a financial form: “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PUT FOR ANY OF THIS. WHAT IS AN ASSET WHAT IS A LIABILITY WHY ARE THEY USING THE PERL SCALAR SIGIL THERE THEY SHOULD BE USING A NAMED CAPTURE INSTEAD”

One of my hobbies is going through a big name open source backslide thread to discover equivalents that are actually FOSS.

@IamMrsGeek charge him for babysitting and housekeeping?

Gruber responding to the DOJ antitrust news exactly how I thought he would, down to the pacing, rhythm, and primary verses, is sufficient encouragement for me to remove Daring Fireball from my RSS feed.

If I know what he’s gonna write before I read it, I don’t really need to read it.

@carlton similarly, it’s only force of habit that kept me subscribed this long. I’ve put less and less weight in his posts over the years, that’s for sure.

@WuMargaret @IamMrsGeek violence may not be the answer but it is an answer so let’s not discard it just yet

Nice thing about an outliner #PKM like #Logseq is you easily can develop your own conventions for what a node represents, like how indented under a heading is a paragraph in a section, and indented under a paragraph is a list item.

OTOH if you ever want to share those notes you get to decide how many of those conventions you should translate.

@earthshine It was a B horror movie, and sold as such, but it was a B horror art movie and folks didn’t catch on to that right away.

@bentsai You always stay aware of issues you latched on early. For me it was accessibility & being able to load my pages on spotty dialup. So accessibility, page weight, and latency are still things I grumble about with big name sites to this day.

So I know about waterfall development and I know about iterative development but I’ve got six scripts in four folders in three languages all borrowing from each other to implement the same idea from different angles depending on mood and I was wondering if convergent development was a thing.

Because if not, well, it should probably stay that way.
