@daviddelven loading time is slower for me on my MBP than it was on the PC Windows partition, and yeah it wasn’t great on Windows.

@zvavybir I’m not sure how I feel about that

(joke)

But yeah if I could just get the paperwork in, I’m getting evaluated for autism as well. I mainly tagged with what I know.

@chris I’d love to help you out, but thanks to ADHD my /uses turned into a whole public brain thing. Too much “well in this context I use this, and in that context I use that, and–”

Stuck on macOS currently, so my list may narrow enough to be a list.

As for the VS Code dilemma, you can at least spice that up by highlighting some core plugins for your workflow.

Thought I’d listen to some radio-friendly hip hop from the early 90s and damn there was a lot of casual violence against women in there. Stopped the track and played my faves from the day and yeah that’s better.

🎵 Cause I never liked a punk who beat up on his girl🎵 If you don’t have game then let her leave your world

And pushed.

Thinking about estimates.

So I told myself at the beginning of the week that it would take me three or four days to write this code. If you squint, the estimate was correct. I could do something about the granularity, though.

If I took my “almost every waking hour of the day” initial estimate and fit those into office hours, the healthy estimate would have been eight days, or twelve days with meetings. More with the red tape wrapped around most work.

And done!

I said I’d do the thing today and it’s still today in Hawaii. I’m counting it.

@ajroach42 first time I’ve wanted to subscribe to a thread in a while.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I am kind of tired this morning.

hackers.town: 2024-10-10 Thu 09:26

@m It’s cool. I made coffee.

And then forgot I made coffee, for two hours.

Another lovely sunrise in #Tucson

Also it’s 69F. Nice. Disorienting but nice.

Clouds over a mountain, lit up orange and violet by the sunrise.

@grmpyprogrammer Even as a technical user, it’s frustrating. The bubbles of Fediverse usage have sort of crystallized.

Most folks who say “I know, I’ll try Mastodon” start at mastodon dot social, but it’s so poorly moderated that we can’t just have an open door for them. I may never know my friends have joined.

Tech types can run your own server. Mastodon itself needs a chunky setup that’s expensive for personal budgets. Akkoma runs nice and cheap, but a little virality can knock you out of commission or spike your wallet. Oh and follow the fediban tag.

Intermittent hardware issues with the desktop becoming more persistent, so I’m on the laptop until I figure out what to do about it.

And of course immediately noticing how much quieter M1 MBP is than full tower with GPU card.

@bitprophet Last time I looked into this I found a few possible causes.

So I froze up.

I have a headset somewhere around here.

Pausing from evaluating this code and its authors with a tangent to look up etymology and usage of the word “jackass.”

I didn’t think the two activities were related, and yet.

hackers.town: 2024-10-06 Sun 09:05

That was another one of those “brain dump then fall asleep and forget by the time you wake up” toots but yeah.

If I can run away from a legacy Flask app, I will.

Brain’s been throwing out that character name all year. I finally gave in.

@genehack reiterating that history will mark us as boomers, which will and should piss us all off righteously.

We got some bondage gear for our garbage bin and it has for at least one night defeated the javelinas.
