Tonight’s bedtime #drawing was loosening up with some shading practice. Make some squiggly lines with a pencil, then blend them.

Wow. Just — wow.

Teams Web interface started ringing for a call. That I’d already missed. Because it didn’t ring. Half an hour ago.

hackers.town: 2020-09-15 Tue 13:47

Then it did it again. Reloaded the tab. Been quiet so far.

On one hand, I’ve averaged 30 tickets a week the last month. Well, Notion/Taskwarrior tasks tagged and filed for work stuff, because the ticketing system is slow and I’m the only one who looked at it. Anyways — very productive.

OTOH it’s 3:30am and I’m just winding down.

@veer66 Python is good & I enjoy each version more, but my most common errors don’t get caught until run-time because of how Python handles code.

As my site deployment gets ever more complex one bit at a time I occasionally wonder why I don’t just use Wordpress.

So the company that owns the databases I don’t use and the language I avoid now owns the social platform I never bothered joining.

That fits.

Not for the first and certainly not for the last time, I find myself wishing Python had actual types rather than a handful of external libraries providing polite suggestions if you run them.

Heck even Perl can tell the difference between “a thing” and “some things” out of the box.

hackers.town: 2020-09-12 Sat 14:20

@Mnemonic Well yeah. When it gets to references, Perl assumes you know what you’re doing and waits until runtime.

I can’t recall ever experiencing this particular mix of having accomplished so much and feeling so far behind.

hackers.town: 2020-09-11 Fri 00:27

@sohkamyung They don’t cancel enough, apparently!

The knotwork #drawing practice is coming along swimmingly.

Usually focus on the pleasant, friendly, conflict-avoidant aspects of my self but I’m a whole person. Sometimes it feels good to be the crotchety old man I’ve also been since childhood.

Pausing between test runs to remember what I’m trying to test.

ignore me if you must but i still believe an Earth-11 adaptation of Dune would rock. Just swap everyone out.

@yojimbo If you haven’t quite decided — do you use beard oil, balm, or any other special considerations?

hackers.town: 2020-09-09 Wed 17:46

@yojimbo Understood! I’m sort of all over the map when it comes to product. Always using it, but sometimes I just make my own for the heck of it.

Thanks to my latest changes, nobody can access any feature.

Finally.

hackers.town: 2020-09-08 Tue 19:40

hackers.town: 2020-09-08 Tue 19:52

hackers.town: 2020-09-08 Tue 19:53

really would’ve been a lot easier and less mortifying to have stuck with Vue + an API.

It works in production — and if they find it they win a No-Prize.

Just want to take a moment to say I really like this chonky knot right here.

@tithonium sure thing! I’ll do that when I’m in front of the computer tomorrow! The collection tiles show some cover images, but that’s not the same.

hackers.town: 2020-09-06 Sun 09:54

@tithonium here you go. Easiest way I knew to show them all.
