Chris asks why a super El Niño isn’t just El Hombre and I’m once again absolutely stunned speechless

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social “the hope is ever present in your time as it was in ours” hits so fucking hard

@MartinEscardo and some bonus probability theorists, perhaps!

@lindsey echo and cat are two favs I think

@ah@goto.boserup.eu Update: @chrisamaphone@hci.social did not realize I’d tooted the previous and so I got to stubbornly repeat “ASTA SAYS METABOLISM” a couple of times to increasing confusion and this was amusing to me and probably no one else

@lindsey though the analogy that much of urban planning is cleaning up the damage that the powerful forces behind car-centric society imposed on cities (the invention of jaywalking, urban renewal) is perhaps instructive as well @tao

@chrisamaphone maybe you intended the comparison all along but it was Shardul at PLATEAU that drove home for me that this can be viewed as a “convincing v. explaining” thing in the sense of your truth-future-proof talk. @ionchy

@chrisamaphone I propose frog jumping

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party I’m realizing too late that the correct play was to respond with the “worst developer experience imaginable SO FAR” Homer Simpson meme

@horsewizard@mastodon.social only the darkest of dark favs for you this day

@Jerry thanks for sharing this. It was boosted into my neck of the woods and I don’t actually know who you are - is there a semi-authoritative place this advice is documented that I can 1) double check, because that seems like a good idea at least in principle with security related stuff like this and 2) pass on to others?

@flippac @chrisamaphone right this - the users are the ones who frogjump

@cxandru whew I generally think Nix is the best of bad alternatives for many use cases but that is *NOT* my experience across multiple organizations with very competent and experienced nix folks setting things up @jonmsterling

i request podcast recommendations for a long drive tomorrow

@shovemedia@triangletoot.party oh I can imagine worse
