For the first time ever I got a battery in my phone replaced (new phones aren't compelling right now and I don't break them much anymore.)

Honestly turning my only telecommunication and timekeeping tool over to the Apple employee for an hour felt somewhat more vulnerable than the time, long ago, that I ran Bay to Breakers naked.

Not "someday when you're a parent you'll understand" but "someday when you've worked in this industry 20 years you'll understand".

In particular, why I try to approach everything with compassion instead of cynicism or harsh criticism. Compassion restores the energy in my heart, cynicism depletes it.

This was all because elsewhere on the internet I saw someone genuinely being thoughtful about stuff and another person treating it like a joke, and I realized that this is the source of why I care a lot about the kinds of work I do, even if I I could choose not to

@artcollisions I am skilled at being single-minded in certain ways. Though I was probably only getting about 150g for a while until I started tracking again

@recursive@hachyderm.io avatar

@artcollisions IDK yet if there's a definitive difference in that range for me (that's about 0.72g / pound of total body weight to 0.95g/pound), but I get a lot less DOMS and gaining strength and muscle mass seems a bit easier

The feeling of relief when somebody else wrote a parser for the ridiculous thing you want to do and this means you can focus on the ridiculous (fun?) part.

@gadgetoid thank you for your service.

Maybe I will someday learn to love writing parsers

I hate to be someone weirdly stuck on language, but the term "co-washing" for just using conditioner bothers me a lot, because every other time in my life there was a co- prefix on a noun, it was the usual Latin

recursive,
@recursive@hachyderm.io avatar

Obviously there are the times it wasn't a prefix, e.g. cobalt, but if you make it look like a prefix, it should be like the usual meaning

Can you answer this simple question about the C programming language?

$ cat test.c
<string.h>
<stdio.h>
int main() { printf("%d\n", strlen("\x01c")); }
$ cc test.c && ./a.out

What number does this program print?

@whitequark thanks, I hate it

@Cdespinosa this is really sad, considering this is something we've been able to deal with correctly for 40-50 years

Restful weekend day: make my Oxygen Not Included colony more sustainable and finally automate off-site backups of my home fileserver.

(Which along the way somehow lost its IPv4 default route?)

I'm surprised how wiped out I've been by the past week. For a bit I wondered if I might be more introverted than I thought, but more and more I think the introversion/extroversion dichotomy is bullshit and stuff like sensory issues and capacity to process emotional stuff (like being rejected at the final stage of an interview cycle) are bigger factors overall, at least for neurodivergent folks like me

I'm rewatching the How to ADHD video on Rejection Sensitivity... because maybe I need to admit to myself that this is a thing I experience 🙃

Layering fishnets over opaque tights is my latest “she’s just wearing the clothes she would have worn in the late 90s and early aughts” personal trend I think.

@RainofTerra "fashionable and well-fitted version of how I dressed a a teenager" is 75% of how I dress now. The other 25% is "how I wanted to dress as a teenager" :)

@vxo I really need to fix the one that goes to 3000 V and maybe replace the MHV connectors with SHV or something (expensive either way)
