Gonna miss the shit out of unless its governance stuff manages to pull out of the nosedive (though I've heard mildly positive news lately…).

Didn't have linkchecker installed, need it for checking my blog posts.

Classical config management: typically apt install linkchecker, then completely forget to go back and add it to the “website" CM recipe.

Nix/OS: add to the repo's flake.nix, rerun nix develop, bing bong so simple, any future setup of this repo will benefit.

made "named arguments" work on the rpc toy, which is fun because go does not have named arguments, and you also can't use reflect to get the names of arguments

which is neat

thinking about how my industry is piloted by nepobabies and failsons, and the leaders who don't spend 80% of their time sabotaging the product are hailed as visionaries

and well, i'm also thinking about how armies were stuffed with inbred nobility, people who believed they were born to rule, and how they kept getting defeated by military geniuses

@glyph i don't know if pywin32 is a gigantic dependency but

https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/win32/Lib/win32timezone.py#L694

win32timezone.TimeZoneInfo.local() does what you want, i think?

@glyph i did also find a ctypes example of calling kernel32.GetTimeZoneInformation

have seen a new startup advertising "ci, but without yaml!" and "if it runs on your machine, it passes in the cloud!"

and like i know i'm old but "writing a shell script" and "not needing root to run a test suite" feel like problems that can be solved without writing integration code for a cloud based test SDK

tef,
@tef@mastodon.social avatar

at some point i knew i was no longer "with it" when i scoffed at everyone refusing to vendor their dependencies and instead re-download them every test run, but what do i know

i watched the apple ad everyone is hating on and I hate it too. it feels bad man.

tef,
@tef@mastodon.social avatar

@lzg i am also old enough to remember when apple lauded itself as the computer for creatives and it just feels like i've only just caught up to how long ago that apple died

tef,
@tef@mastodon.social avatar

@lzg crushing all the things that bring people joy is how apple used to portray the competition

@glyph total aside, but i've been trying to reign in the reply guy urges i am cursed with

one thing i've found that helps is to be more earnest, or, being "this reminded me of this cool fact, ty!" over "did you know??!"

that and prefixing things with uh. total aside

For the last two years I've been semi-daily posting "What I'm Listening to Today" links here. Mastodon has some problems with threads containing hundreds of posts, so I re-create the thread once a year.

If you'd like to see, here's my "year two" thread: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/110266770603341546

Or, alternately, every song from year two in the least practical format possible: A 301-song, 38-hour YouTube playlist (note: video #1 contains flashing):

And here's the thread for "year three":
