Just because a particular thing has computer chips in it doesn't mean people who think it sucks are "anti-technology."

When I open your project in vscode, I immediately see a list of all the words you've misspelled. Why not install a spellchecker plugin in your editor?

The garden pre-bugging strategy works again... write some code, go water the plants, come back and fix the things I realized I did wrong while I was out in the garden

Yes neighbors I did in fact step out on the porch to release the Instant Pot pressure, do not judge me.

It's hard for me to imagine what it would take for a major corporate social platform to be incentivized to connect to the open activitypub network

I used to really overthink organizing haskell imports. IMO just alphabetize them in one big block and forget about it.

I like how mastodon bios can include 2-column tabular information; that structure shows a better understanding of how people actually use bios

Gonna write a post at some point about dependency version ranges, but the main bullet point for starting a new haskell library is: For each dependency, set the range to

^>= x.y.z

where x.y.z is the first three digits of the package's latest release. This will generally work and be fine and you can expand upon it later only if needed.

Excerpt from the AWS SQS documentation:

"A message can include only XML, JSON, and unformatted text."

What the hell does that mean? Doesn't the inclusion of "unformatted text" as a possibility mean anything at all is accepted? Why even mention XML and JSON?

Child watching movie: why is random stuff happening? Me: haha I don't know. (it was a dick joke, it's always a dick joke)

Haskell lets you destructure the hell out of some function arguments in a nested pattern. This simplifies the expression-level part of your function definition! But all you've really done is push that stuff into a different place where it's harder to work with. Save yourself the trouble and don't ever go through a phase where you're writing big complicated patterns.

Every day I turn the bluetooth off, every day the iphone turns the bluetooth back on, and any day I forget will be a day I am plagued by useless noises coming out of some speaker somewhere that the phone managed to find.

It is just so upsetting how much easier it is for me to deal with men that my wife has trouble with. As soon as I show up, they're able to recognize that we're people with things to do other than help them with their bullshit. I swear I do not have any extraordinary people skills. It's just, you show up with a dick, and people listen to you.

People will actually apologize to me for the way they dealt with her. They apologize to me

Do I know anyone who's a money advisor who could give me a little (free, sorry :( ) consultation on what options I have for getting money out of retirement accounts and how taxation would work? I need to use some of that money now, desperately, but I have no idea if I'll just have the IRS garnering my wages later and be in an even worse situation if I use it. Doesn't have to be a major long thing, just a quick call or something.
