Have a theory that one of the chief benefits of remote work - possibly not a benefit for all types of work - is that people haven't been amped up by drivers' aggression

@chris__martin Plausible, but now I can take trips to the park between meetings. I don't drive as much anymore, but I still get driven at quite a bit.

    @KrissyKat Central is home, Southern is college home, Northwest reminds me of original Illinois home, and Northern is, um, also in Indiana?

    I thought BlackRock was either a failed UK bank or a dodgy US military contractor?

    Either way, do we want them investing 2B in A/NZ?

    I do really wish Mastodon provided a way to migrate an account to a new server using a cryptographic signature for proof of identity rather than relying on the old server being still operational and not hostile.

    @chris__martin The rel=me verification helps a lot here, but only if there's a trustworthy presence to mutually link from.

    What package do you use for case conversion (snake_case, kebab-kase, dotted.case, etc.)?

    I'm delighted that software I wrote runs far and wide, but each time someone tells me their employer forbids any contribution back, even on personal time, I see more appeal in Copyleft.

    People should be able to make money from building on the fediverse.

    @ben What are the externalities? I don't mind someone else making money if it doesn't negatively impact the experience for others.

    @ben Ads are an obvious example. Can I unfollow, mute, block, or somehow opt out? Cool. Are they embracing-and-extending the protocol so every fourth toot is an unavoidable ad? Nope.

    @jonoabroad The book I'm reading recommends Anaconda, which wants to fuck with my bash profile and may or may not require a license. I translated most of it to Nix, except it doesn't install CUDA on MacOS. This is Day 3 and I'm still in the preface.

    The car rental process is so uniformly disorganized and inefficient that I suspect it’s intentional, but I can’t figure out who benefits. I welcome theories on the subject.

    @dekkzz76 Blackhawks fan here. You're going to enjoy him. I'm going to enjoy the draft pick we got for him, and particularly the one for sucking without him. Poor Ottawa.

    For the last 2 weeks I've been trying to play a little with , migrated an old exercise I did from scala 2 to it. It's painful to use intellij in its current state, even using the eap plugin version or wtv it is. Seriously considering putting things back into scala 2, at least that works as expected in the IDE.

    Problems include not autocompleting things, taking long time to show methods available, not showing inferred types, variables and types marked as not use when they are, etc...

    @vascorsd Miles ahead of the Emacs support, but I'm starting to see forward progress there.

    Favorite link checkers? Lychee works great, but insists on reading /etc/resolv.conf, even in offline mode, which doesn't work in my CI.

    @thekitmalone IU Football. Fair weather all around, but not a hint of it in the stands. Hope, undeterred by a century of evidence. 40,000 fans of the losingest program in the nation defiantly singing "never daunted." That's Indiana.
