Folks were expecting a mild monsoon season when we moved here. But according to Reddit at least it’s been a good amount of rain plus a lot more wind and destruction. Old-timers saying it reminded them of monsoon season in the early to mid 90s but more humid.

Anyways here’s the requisite gorgeous sunrise. Hoping for less of a sky rave tonight.

@pdcawley yah! If I implement the rest of the program, that would be caught as an inconsistent indent, since there are other markers in the text to indicate start or continuation of a block.

Basically this solution only occurred to me because I’ve done the process in two languages already, so I knew the exact logic I needed here. This is maybe the third time I’ve used tr/// in all these years.

@socketwench been there a while. Course, I cheated, by assisting the kids at a homeless shelter in setting up Linux on recycled laptops.

#Stardeus dev started talking about 0.11 pretty much the minute he pushed out 0.10, so I’ve been holding off — for a while!

But now it’s out I can play again.

A lot of times studying is just learning names for things I already knew.

@Flaky okay I’ll warn you right off the bat this is another rabbit hole that can be as distracting as it is helpful, but: set up a note system.

You can do simple paper notebooks, but I needed something I could search cross-link, so I use a PKM (Personal Knowledge Manager). There are many PKMs (I use Logseq, but I recommend Obsidian due to its large community) and many overarching systems (PARA is popular and close enough to how I do things), but the important starting point is just to get things down so you can go “oh yeah I remember learning that.”

Sure your #PKM notes can be a repository for information. They can be a resource for insight. And sometimes they can be a good spot to bury a surprise dopamine hit for later.

@spinningthoughts I tell you what, though: doing all this flexible property graph logic in a language like Go is a prominent posterior pain.

@rgegriff @maddiefuzz no thank you, I’ll stick with the day-old hell. I can get a whole bag for a dollar!

Catching up on the Crowdstrike issue and oof let those who have never deployed a dev branch to production on Friday cast the first — you know what don’t. Some mission-critical folks all over are having a Very Bad Day.

Almost two months since moving to Tucson, and my body continues to choose “incremental” as the adjustment mode of choice.

5:30am this morning, 80F? Ah, nice and brisk. So pleasant.

7:30am this morning, 86F? Too hot too sweaty I think I am going to die.

hackers.town: 2024-07-18 Thu 08:29

@mwop I think the latter is the biggest impact. I’ve walked around enjoying a soothing 100F at dusk. But that’s after the daylight was 107F.

I keep typo-ing “FAQ” to “FAW” so often that I may just decide it’s a thing

@alex I’ve also seen “Frequently Anticipated Questions”

I explicitly named the Hugo template I’m using for this as “logseq-debug” so I thought I’d push towards that in layout, rather than the big interactive stuff I’m thinking of for later.
