mastodon 4.7.3Programming, empathy, good drinks, and bad movies. Director @ Fastmail.
An amenity I'd like to be able to check for in booking hotels: a normal-height desk-like surface with a normal desk chair. I get that most people might not want or care, but I keep ending up with a high side table with a really low slouchy chair, which is no good for programming at.
Claude, reviewing my code, describes part of it as "ugly and dead, but not a build-breaker". This is the kind of non-sycophantic review I'm here for.
I think my new policy is that after three boosted bad takes, I block boosts. Lots of people seem to boost terrible arguments that align with their feelings, even though they would never make these arguments from scratch. It bugs me too much to keep shrugging off.
"You have 5 gb free on your disk." Woah!
Quit Firefox.
"You have 16 gb free on your disk." Huh.
Reboot.
"You have 39 gb free on your disk."
I get it, but this is ridiculous.
I think my experiment of using an electric shaver, when traveling, to avoid buying razor blades (or checking a bag) is a failure. It has left my neck weird.
All I want for Christmas is a file extension for "Markdown with front matter" that everything respects when formatting.

I don't want to add Powerline fonts, I want the required glyphs added to Unicode please and thank you.
I miss being able to go to the convenience store and get a non-king-sized candy bar!

My least favorite part of any development process is "and the update these four places identically." Right now, anyway.
Ads. In Maps.
@jessesheidlower@mastodon.social A word I encountered in "They'd Rather Be Right (1957)" yesterday: "esperance". Seems to mean "psychic-hood". Thought of you and hd/sf.
Also, boy can I live without psionics in my SF!
SwiftUI is pretty dang cool.
DigitalOcean has apparently deleted their base bookworm image. This is lousy [for me].
