@Daojoan you had me at give up

Attached: 1 image Is anyone aware of a #markup #language for #InteriorDesign? I read this great article (https://luke.hsiao.dev/blog/housing-documentation/) on writing technical documentation for your house, and I'm building a #Hugo template for just this. I'd love to also document my home's room dimensions, where the outlets are, etc. so I can (a) make simple 3D models (b) create a clickable SVG (c) extract dimensions easily (for determining if new furniture/wallhangings will fit). Any ideas? I'll probably end up bodging my own together…

As someone with Palestinian and Jewish friends of varying political persuasions, right now I see that all of them are hurting. They are traumatized by historical, recent, and ongoing violence, and at the same time they are coping with a rising tide of bigotry. I'm not sure I've got the right takes, and indeed I am constantly evolving in my understanding and views. But I promise I will never stand idly by when you and your community are suffering injustice.

A little unconventional #coding #tip: Always copy and paste code. At least at first. Don’t overthink it. And: Don’t start refactoring right away. Why? Because you might think you’re creating almost similar behaviour but you don’t know that really until you actually customise what you pasted. Refractoring based on the assumption of redundancy instead of the fact of it is premature refactoring. Once you’ve specialised your pasted code, then look for redundancy and then refactor. #dev

Someone keeps emptying the teapot and then not refilling it. 🫖 I would like to speak with a manager. I’m very disappointed in the service in this establishment. #WFH

I'm anti-war because the more I learn about history, the more it's clear that wars have a legacy that extends for decades or centuries beyond when they officially end. And I don't mean only the lives lost. The propaganda drives people insane and clouds their vision for decades. All of the things people "had" to do to "win" end up bringing about unintended and unanticipated consequences that never really disappear from society. The madness incites more madness.

Some of y'all want the humiliation experience for free. I charge for that. #morning #coffee #holidays #nsfw

If you use #Patreon to support a YouTube creator, change your name to something funny. They have a tendency to just copy and paste your name into the credits. I've been having so much fun for the last month or so 😂

No agenda no meeting. "It's a work party." And? If it needs the company outlook calendar it needs an agenda.

told my manager I needed to take a half day for my knee again making conversation, she said she didn’t realize it was that bad and asked what kind of accident I got into “my 30s. the traumatic event was entering my 30s.” 😂🫠

There are no "tech demo gods." There is only prepared or not prepared. #DevRel

having a job is like being married except my employer actually fucks me ayyyooo

If someone you know wants to share a thread from Twitter in their blog post, remind them that only the first tweet is free nowadays. Seeing the rest of the thread — or even that there is a thread instead of a weird context-free opening tweet — requires a login.

I wrote something for one of my most favourite writing projects. Like all my writing lately, it’s not the cheeriest piece. But it does have a better end. https://www.ithoughtaboutthatalot.com/2023/wicked-step-mother

I was talking to some folks who had to talk me off the idea of a hiring blacklist. It's not like there's been a complete wall: warm referrals still make it. But cold applications? I might as well have a name on some nginx bad bot list with the turn around time for rejections. And I wasn't the only one (similarly aged folks with more contracting backgrounds, different ethnic and national backgrounds) feeling it. It doesn't shake off the sharpness of the lack of income nor the numbness of feeling more than incapable of taking care of oneself. Like I'm more scared than I expected of catching COVID or having some life event that I can't even begin to afford. If employment is so tied to one's ability to take care of themselves, how are we not all living in a feudal state? The social net is of different sizes - if it exists where you live - Florida's unemployment services (aka reemployment support, their words) do more to drill and shame than to support and direct.

Whoever came up with the idea to add "-cli" on the end of command line tools needs to die in a fire. "huggingface-cli" is the worst command name I've ever seen.

Oh this is why people were talking about morality and tech, lol https://www.theregister.com/2023/12/08/hashicorp_openbao_fork/ Tbh lol, y'all might not like this, but it doesn't fucking matter. If the fork's not community-run, it's nothing more than a "revenue measuring" contest between two tech CEOs over adoption (because big adopters acquire a lot and accelerate adoption - look at the virus of VS Code despite the vacuum of desktop alternatives people don't have to mention in their dotfiles). The Linux Foundation has (more or less) transformed into the perfect example of Commercial Open Source (open for you, plenty of funds for me but not non-corporate maintainers hahaha sike) extension of Microsoft (personal viewpoint) so even them taking in Terraform will be icky. But then again, it's not like we got coops fabricating chips so it's the best we fucking got.
