Okay, rebooting to Linux partition before bed.

It takes a couple moments for SQLite to load a 580MB db file.

I suppose I could use a proper database server.

But where’s the sport in that?

Script time: ~21m in Linux (and gets everything right), ~22m in Windows proper (but suffers from some file encoding confusion), 48m in WSL 2. But hey it gets everything right. I think.

Hm, somebody followed by some folks I follow.

We clearly have different priorities. But maybe?

Couple good notes, but a lot of tediousness.

Ah, they boosted the yahoo store guy. Nah I don’t want to follow them. Not with judgment like that.

Got a good start #knitting her socks.

That yarn was tough to wind. 45% bamboo, 40% wool, 15% nylon. Maybe wool content contributed to tangling?

@nomad Trader Joe’s is in the same category as Whole Foods for me, in that I’ve never heard anyone say anything good about corporate.

@devrandom org mode is impressive. A few years using it off and on has me using Emacs more in general lately.

Skimming over some mercurial notes and now I’m mad about git all over again.

Running exiftool over every file in my Dropbox folder and stuffing the results in a SQLite database.

Why, you ask?

Blocked the hat. Pulling yarn out for #knitting some socks!

@tithonium I’m still trying to sort it out. A 16:9 27" monitor presents certain challenges in vertical mode.

Though maybe less so in the Linux partition with a decent tiling window manager? 🤔

Rotated one of my monitors to make room for the work laptop and a) this may take some getting used to; b) “make sure your functions fit on one screen” is a dangerous guideline.

She: Is he saying “Calling Kyle?”

Me: Yeah. Well it’s Les Claypool. He just says some jibberish and plays some bass good and we’re all happy.

Just used $aunties as a variable name in this tree structure so all in all I’d say it’s been a good night.

@bamfic My opinion’s even less practical (in current societal assumptions) than “abolish.” I’d reallocate funds dramatically & basically replace every cop holding a badge today with folks who can demonstrate comprehension of the Peelian Principles.

Honestly, it’s be easier just to abolish them.

@Ventronik I also have Equilinox and Islanders on my “chill time” list.

hackers.town: 2020-06-10 Wed 00:08

@Ventronik Equilinox is an evolution Spore-type god game, and Islanders is a city builder puzzle game.

I found the way to do breadcrumb trails in Hugo and that’s awesome but now I’m tired and need to sleep. Hope I wrote down enough of the thought.

@RyuKurisu oh that’s my preferred radio station. Was just having kind of a high anxiety evening.

many years in tech taught me that “reinvent X” translates to “change nothing about X but put all the icky bits where I can ignore them”

Okay so technically I haven’t accomplished anything today, but my Emacs config is just rolling right along!

hackers.town: 2020-06-08 Mon 20:52

well that was supposed to be a reply but hey whatever. It’ll give me an excuse to use Signal.

But don’t expect me to be answering my phone.

hackers.town: 2020-06-08 Mon 21:31

I am out of it today. Best stick to code.
