I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
Sometimes a bookshelf’s contents paints such a complete picture of its owner that the missing pieces become conspicuous.
I’d love to see our host’s private shelves. Willing to bet a few shiny trinkets I’d find interesting titles.
This is why we tag posts about Raku programming as #RakuLang. So as not to confuse folks into the other #Raku.
Wondering if there’s a Node.js equivalent to perldoc or pydoc: a CLI tool to browse, search, and read API documentation.
@rune Oh they care, or at least the people making it do. Whether the executives care? Well yeah. I would be surprised if anyone above team lead was invested in the quality of a command line package manager.
Though this is the company that brought us the Sweaty “Developers!” Chant.
Watching a neighbor kid walk to school. The same school that opened two days ago, and reported a COVID case yesterday.
Godspeed, kid.
Urgent need to get a shell task done quick and now the work Django repo has a Perl script in it.
Old habits die hard.
Because structured Markdown is an easier SSG target than reStructuredText
Been looking at a lot of static site generators and node front-ends and yeah they’re cool and sure they’re fun and of course I’ll keep playing with them but also it’s remarkable how hard we work to avoid using PHP.
Dear people saying “we live in the worst timeline,”
STOP TEMPTING FATE IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE ALWAYS TOMORROW CAN ALWAYS BE MORE TERRIBLE THAN TODAY JUST STOP
Learning some Node with the official “Learn” docs and I’m so close to the end but forcibly restraining myself from checking the Python async docs for compare and contrast of that particular feature.
I can wait 15 minutes to look that up.
Right?
@zkat wait what?
[checks YouTube subscription; nope]
where? Where?!
@zkat OMG
I wish the “paths look like this on windows” sections of filesystem tutorials didn’t take such a “DON’T SCREW IT UP” attitude. Windows has accepted the Unix slash for a few years now.
Work and others asking me if I’d be interested in learning network tech x or language framework y and of course because I am guided by the wisdom of Saint Winston.
Finding gems in the Bandcamp “Reissues” playlist.

I need to send a thing but I was dragging my feet because I’d have to prepare the thing but then I found out I already prepared the thing so now I’m dragging my feet by typing here and oh right gotcha brb
Okay it’s like this folks.
The time you save by word vomiting feedback in chat rather than organizing your thoughts before typing?
I get to spend roughly double that figuring out what the hell you’re talking about.
Oh lord. I’m not in a bad mood. This is something much more potentially dangerous.
I’m feeling cheeky.
I need a back channel and quick.
Well crap. Farty cars and loud people picking our block to be annoying on. I knew Federal Way wasn’t free of idiots but I kinda hoped our neighborhood was.
Holy shit. Cops came and cleared them out. So this is life in the suburbs, eh?
So I’m catching up on my Sifl & Olly nostalgia and I’m playing https://youtu.be/_qU_gEiSbIU and halfway through
Messing with Gatsby all morning and I’m proud to declare that with several hours of dedicated focus I have created an absolute mess.
I have Opinions about site generators with claims to “file-based routing systems” and filenames like {What.the__(fuck)__is_this}.js and [...you_gotta_be_kidding].astro
Still. I’m having fun. That’s the important part.
I keep getting closer and closer to successfully recreating my site with one of them fancy JavaScript site generators (with and without frameworks) and always something in one or another of my 1500 content files gives them a seizure.
Finally got rating for all my music in MusicBee and can try out the Auto DJ.
Not a bad start, though someone else’s ears might get disoriented by the transitions.
