@mwl okay thanks I was gonna ask if you’d seen it.

Sausage Dog goes rolling by.

@IamMrsGeek had not yet seen Sausage Dog.

She: Holy shit that’s a fat dog.

Me: See? Sausage Dog

hackers.town: 2024-12-03 Tue 09:37

And before anybody says it, we’re not fat shaming. We’re in awe, really. Short long bratwurst wiener dog, roll-bouncing like an old school low rider.

@kirch @djsundog I was just pondering a documentation project this morning the visual design of which would be five minutes with frames.

Ah well I’m sure the hours of figuring out components will be good for my resume.

@jacobydave you could use a generator function with yield, or build yourself a list comprehension.

not necessarily the best solution – that would likely be a generator function – just the one that popped in my head fully-formed. Most of Python’s surface level conveniences require fiddling around a level lower.

@cstross I assumed you already knew!

Somebody just sitting out revving their motorcycle in parking lot or garage. The motorcycle sounds healthy. No sputtering or popping. Clearly they take decent care of it.

I’d hate to have to feed it to them piece by piece.

@baldur when asked by my therapist recently if I had depression, I gave a solid no.

I like how the bedtime #drawing is turning out. Tell you what, though. Pareidolia is a heck of a thing.

Thinking back to when Mom would put on side one of an album, paint until it ended, take a break, check on stuff, flip the record, start painting again.

Steady progress on the bedtime #drawing in #LineaSketch. I’ll likely be rebuilding muscle memory in the other sketch apps soon, but this one’s just got that nice sketchbook feel. Not too much, not too little.

If you don’t know about Django Packages, you probably should. Even if you don’t use #Django. It has that “everybody should be stealing this” quality, for package search and classification.

@IamMrsGeek when it’s obviously the dogs that are in charge of this house

@drwho That does look like a nifty game. Has me a little extra sad about not having a functioning Win/Lin system. Or a job. For now.

Allowed myself one new game. Drova, because an ARPG I can play on macOS is uncommon.

Barely past the tutorial, but promising. Pixel art made with lots of love. Something that feels like an actual RPG behind the pixels.

You can pet the dog. You can pause the game. Therefore I can keep playing.

On Drova’s mood, it should be noted that the opening line of the opening cinematic is “Life is rough.”

We set up a pleasant little coffee nook on the front porch.

It’s nice being outside. Without the dogs.

Dogs: “WE CAN HEAR YOU”

@amsomniac social media is an art form best summarized as flash mob improvisational dissociation

Me here, summarizing the Kendrick Lamar / Drake beef for @IamMrsGeek over pancakes like an excited tween.

We’ve been watching The 100. Well mostly she has. I don’t have binge endurance. But I’ve been enjoying it too.

@rgegriff it failed for everybody else but they all lacked the shining light of our truth.

Brain wiring’s extra-sensitive today so I’m wearing the fancy noise filter ear buds.

@chuck misread as “faking the opportunity to enforce the separation of my assets vs work assets” and yeah I do that all the time.

Setting up AeroSpace on macOS and I get why i3 got most of the mindshare for approaches to tiling window manager – components are just shell scripts! – but I wish it was awesomewm. I enjoy configuring via Lua so much more.

Excellent view of Mount Nipple

(checks notes)

Thimble Peak

Foreground: tree on housing development street framing background view of mountain with short pointed peak that looks like a thimble or a nipple, depending on your imagination
