I leave a bowl out, and this year I had a trash can out in case anyone needed it. At the end of the night, the only thing in it was an empty hard cider bottle. Had a laugh

There’s a name for it the phenomenon: the AI effect.

This is the sort of thing I would love to see in my lifetime. I wonder if this is basically talking about just getting it out there for one snapshot, or what you need to put it in orbit at the distance needed to use the Sun as a lens, in which case imagine having that as a long-running program!

Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee

Nah that’s rizzler shit on God sigma 10k

This sounds delicious. Where is here so I can be there?

> git diff
> git add `!! --name-only`
> git commit - m "updated doc"
> git push origin HEAD

is probably 50% of my work machine bash history. Also fun trick for anyone who doesn’t know:

git checkout -

checks out the last branch and it’s great. “Damn, I need to pull main into this branch” becomes

git checkout -
git pull
git checkout -
git merge main

I did this as a kid at a place with cart corrals. Because, y’know, someone still needs to move them from the corrals to the front.

Finally I can add to the list:

• Fix Or Repair Daily
• Found On Road Dead

and now,

• Frequently Off Recording Device

Beneath the Mask in my ass

My first character was a “muppet-born” named Ché-Elmo, who interacted with the group over video chat directly (a hand-puppet Elmo with a red star cap was all they saw and heard), and was a Warlock who had made a pact with the being Carl Marx in exchange for power. His tome of power was Das Kapital, which I’d have him leaf through while we played.

He went missing a few years ago; it’s my belief that he’s out there now in some other dimension still sticking it to every merchant he encounters.

This, perhaps?

“Woman are you going to be able to get the kids”

Lmao this is not how I talk, nor do I have an SO nor kids. Though maybe that’s for the best going by autocomplete

The good news: I don’t drive anymore

The bad news: I did that shit because I grew up on an intersection with a real bad angle, so the only way to see both directions was to angle the car flat with the road I was turning onto. Then, even after moving, I did it because it gives better visibility.

Yo, the Elder hot sauce is great, though. I went online to buy more a few months after I saw them, lol

Hmm, perhaps I got lucky with my one work shirt - it was already a light red, and I didn’t notice any dimming when I used a bunch of hydrogen peroxide on it to get a handful of blood out. Maybe it’s just darker things?

Most recent they passed the Inflation Reduction Act in '21, which gets me 30%* off my solar panels among a bunch of good moves for the country re: medication costs and the world re: global warming, and was voted against by every Republican.

Because of the level of polarization we have today, Republicans that vote with Dems worry about being primaried out of their seat, so the Republicans are against everything the Dems do anyway. It’s impossible not to be defined by the phrase “not that guy” when “that guy” does the opposite of what you do on purpose.

Edit: bump from 20-> 30% Thanks Dempf!

I do this for the same reasons - and also, snooze emails until two weeks before an event, then a week before the event, then a few days before the day of the event in order to keep reminding myself it’s going to happen.

That’s most of what we do today.

Every web app you use right now - which is most of your day for most users - is just a dumb terminal UI hitting some API on some foreign computer.

Plan 9 uses the file system as a way of interacting with apis. Linux took this idea directly by copying in the/proc filesystem from 9, which are not bytes on a disk but are instead the kernel presenting its running processes in the format of files and directories in your file namespace, and with which you can interact to control those processes.

It also took this idea and created FUSE - file systems in user space - so that you can do the same thing on Linux as a user, but with not quite the same ease you have on plan 9 - and notably, fuse file systems are not naturally network file systems, and so you can’t export them as easily to the network as you can with nine machines, where it’s implicit.

Last, Linux took the idea of per-process namespaces from 9, setting the stage for all of the docker, snap, etc. tools we use today.

In short, a lot of nine already is mainstream because it’s been adopted by Linux. However, using plan 9 and then returning back to Linux feels like putting on bulky gloves, because Linux did not start with these concepts in mind, but bolted them on after.
