I have not, I wasn’t aware it existed until right now.

I guess we will see. Tiling WM on Wayland was, at my last check, totally limited to sway. As a dwm guy Wayland has yet to give me what I need.

Mayeeaheeeeee mayeeeaaahhooooo mayeeeeaaaa ha ha!

If you don’t get the full 40 a lot of stuff fits.

I’m my case my job is both creative and technical so I sometimes need to just let stuff marinate in my head. I can feed my chess hobby or cook during that time. I’ve got 2 kids under 5 so after 5p it’s parenting only until they go to bed.

Edit: notably there is still no time for video games

You can start with Debussy, but make sure you finish on de Bach.

I had to read too far for this.

Yeah I think it was just the sort of huge mass way the HP community reacted, it was very wholesome. All Rickman ever wanted to be was an actor and he made it late in life then died.

A huge part of Facebook was covered with:

+1. Just enabled as well.

Thanks!

I think about that last shot, looking up at the bartender all the time. Weirdly the only other thing I can think about the main character being in is blade 3.

I’d like to see them make WoT. But like, from the beginning so we can forget about… whatever the fuck the writers for amazon were doing.

Let HBO take it.

Season 4 was so good, then then they just left it there.

I don’t even see it on voyager. I don’t know why I would want an avatar anyway.

Bro, you should have thought of that before you went to Peru in the 1300s. Totally preventable.

Hermes, is that you?

I also choose some other guy’s fingers.

I wrote a little bit of code to tell me if or when my electricity would be cheaper if I used on demand pricing instead of flat rate. Basically anything you might use excel for could be a programming problem.

For other hobby projects and “why Linux” it’s easier to sew things together than windows, generally speaking.

Example:

Every time I sit down at my PC the first thing I usually do is open a terminal: it is both my launcher and my file manager. I have several programs with TUI (terminal user interface) or text based API (which is an applied programming interface) and I keep my notes in plain text. One type of note I keep is an “atomic” note inside my zettelkasten (this is a fancy way of keeping track of ideas and the way they connect together, but you need to revisit them for it to be useful. Kinda like anki / spaced reputation I guess).

So enough background, here’s the idea and the programming:

• If I always open a terminal, it’s a good place to put stuff I want to see.

• There are two things I want to see: twice a day I want to see a note, the rest of the time I want to see the 3 or 4 most important tasks on my todo list

• I want randomized notes and I want it to be automatic.

One of the easiest things you can do in a terminal is “echo” text. So I started by, in my terminal “rc” file (the configuration file that tells the terminal what to do when you start it) echoing my todo list as the very last step in the start process. Then it’s refinement. First don’t give me the whole list, use shell tools to show the head of the list. Now make a conditional statement that says “if there’s a file called “temp” in some folder give me the Todo list, otherwise do nothing”. Basically we follow the incremental logic train until you get the final product:

• If no file exists, print a note (at random) and then make the file
• If the file exists write part of the todo list
• Every 6 hours, delete the file automatically with cron

Neat you just programmed a lame, but useful tool.

Haven’t seen it, but it’s been recommended to me.

There’s a stand out episode of Burn Notice that always comes to mind as an example, but I don’t have it handy to share.

Hobby 1: Ballroom dancing

It is surprisingly difficult to get into a good dance position, especially for the standard (waltz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep, Viennese waltz) dances. Two actors walk up to each other and it’s apparent even before they touch that they have no idea WTF they are doing: they aren’t even standing up correctly.

Hobby 2: Chess

Smart guy walks over and absolutely beats the pants off of anyone else playing like 30 seconds after they get taught the rules or from glancing over the shoulder of someone else playing the game. It’s all “aha! Mate in 4!”.

No way dude. It is way, way not that easy. There’s “good at chess” and there’s “GOOD at chess”. Unless you are part of a very large club or are taking lessons from someone at or above the master level, you probably don’t know anybody in the second category. Dr. House is not going to blindfold beat anyone like that.

4 years all city miles huh? ;)

Thank. Doot doot.
