@drunkenmadman@shanselman just watched that whole video. Very well made, and does a good job explaining the issue. i just couldn’t help but think about Zoolander holding/using such a tiny microphone 😂
My pet peeve is vertical video on youtube. Oh god! The agony! Make it stop
I found this foil # for a record I did not request.
FOIL-2023-841-00845
This was how it was handled.
"Your request under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) has been reviewed and the documents you requested have been posted on the OpenRecords portal."
I cannot find the appropriate data set to find this result. All I know it was in 2023.
@grammargirl A couple of years ago I decided that “Christmas lights “ should be called “Winter lights” because they should stay up even though Christmas is over. As long as it’s dark most of the day, keep the lights up.
@chriscoyier i understand your point. The thing is though sometimes it’s not easy to tell when one is stating their opinion vs stating a fact. I think it’s important to preface when something is opinion, so as not to conflate the two
I also feel these have been the 2 least productive months of my life. I haven’t been able to get anything done around the house or on open source projects because pretty much every waking hour has been spent job-searching (except the late-night hours spent playing #BaldursGate3, as a break from job-searching).
I love when people complain that the cascade is what’s wrong with CSS. It’s almost like they don’t understand how the language works at a fundamental level.
@cferdinandi it’s true! They don’t understand it. They abandoned the cascade when they switched to class based rules. the class was on the element or it wasn’t. They didn’t care that it bloated the HTML.
project idea: Create an RSS feed just for you. Identify multiple data sources, Filter them by some criteria, then merge them into an RSS feed that only you read.
@stevegrunwell@NetNewsWire it’s more like a feed creator. Instead of subscribing to a news feed with articles other people have written, you create a feed of your own design. You could pull data from multiple APIs. Maybe it’s an alerts feed. so you pull in weather alerts, server failures, and stock market dips and crashes. You would still subscribe to it like a normal RSS feed. So you still use NetNewsWire like normal
Perhaps your favorite tech writer publishes their work on 3 different sites. You could subscribe to those sites and only pull out their articles into a custom feed.
I can see how it looks like 2 products, but there’s so much overlap. It could be whatever you want it to be though. I offered it as a project idea. It’d be great if multiple people ran with it. I’d love to see what each person does with it.
Losing power has me waxing poetic about self reliance once again. Especially since power restoration fried my fiber connection (second time my ONT has been fried by a power surge, which is annoying since my ISP won't let me manage it or place a surge protector inline with it).
Thinking more about home power backups. But also ... what about the network? What if cloud hosts go down?
If I want to move backwards deleting the last word I can ^W, however if the word is a filename with spaces like: this\ is\ a\ filename, it breaks at the word boundary because it doesn't see it as an escaped space.
shell-backward-word does seem to jump the the right place, but shell-backward-kill-word does not. (Maybe this is a bug?)
Starting Monday, I will no longer be a Postdoc Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
I will be a SCIENTIST.

@pamelafox Check out Tek in Chicago in April. I’m speaking at Tek about Shell Scripting. It’s a PHP conference, but many people also write other languages. https://tek.phparch.com/schedule
What is your favorite or useful #PHP function or “shorthand method” that you think isn’t talked about a lot and the average developer discovering it might find cool?
