Closest I’ve managed to an action shot of the kitties loving on Jumpy Dog. All her life she’s tried to get some cats — ANY cats — to like her and now that it’s happened she doesn’t know what to do.

I have a lot of work I want to do still. My brain has other plans. I think I’ll listen to my brain.

“precondition” sounds so much fancier than “sanity check” and to be honest a bit more precise

No doubt about it I’m gonna need a bigger desk soon.

@szbalint Yep but my desktop’s been giving me issues so I may need to reprioritize. I will get the Model 100. It’s just a question of “when” at this point.

@jacobydave ‘scuze me just need to switch tabs for a second hey hi how are you

hackers.town: 2021-07-13 Tue 16:47

Just finished the Dart language and library tours.

Goodness. If only I could do that kind of studying on purpose, for something related to work.

Playwright + Select2 + punctuated text (hyphens, commas, and suchlike) = hours of angst.

As human? Click and enjoy. As test? Pain and confusion.

Both kitties are pretty friendly and enjoy skritches, but Barry is far more enthusiastic about them, participating with head butts and nose boops.

@Ventronik Indeed! I suspect I’ll be seeing more of him on my office chair. He’s also tentatively exploring the concept of “laps.”

finally got the particular incantation so Playwright would see the Select2 widgets. Basically:

page.type("[role=combobox]", text)page.click(f’[role=option]:has-text("{text}")')

I mean of course now it makes perfect sense. But first I had to spend a week wrestling in futility with id-based selectors.

This menu was quite clearly composed by and for people far less sober than I.

They’re playing Thundercat so I’m happy.

@zpojqwfejwfhiunz Let’s not be too quick to assume.

Maybe he’s playing EVE Online.

Might be playing with #Nanoc and image_processing.

image_processing with libvips turned 239 jpeg and png files of varying phone-camera-based sizes into 763 jpeg files of other varying sizes in 54 seconds on my machine.

I have no idea if that’s good.

Pop OS has updates? Well okay the last big update went pretty smooth. Reboot and ah there’s the Pop update experience I remember.

TIL the window names are clickable in tux when you have mouse support enabled. First time it occurred to me to check in the – what, four or five years? – since I started using tmux.

Good morning from all of us.

Sorry for my silly face. Was playing Alice’s Restaurant and you’re morally obligated to sing along when the chorus comes round if you want to end war and stuff.

The time of year where you look outside and then have to check the weather to find out if that’s fog or smoke you’re looking at.

Don’t like any of the test report HTML generators I found so I’m writing my own for the work project because of the Three Virtues.

That was fun. Wish I could share a screenshot.
