yeah, and ripgrep with regex operators.

because I wanted the “punchline” to come at the end of the meme so I reversed it.

I did look up the help for that function to make this meme but I must have missed that option. in my defense I’ve only been using Python for like 10 years

it works in Ruby on Rails but not in bare-naked Ruby, if that gives you a hint of how the language’s architecture makes things easy for you and also might stab you in the back one day.

I don’t think it matters to your dental health as long as it’s not a regular thing. but for me, I would always rebrush in a scenario like that just because I can’t really go to sleep without a freshly brushed mouth.

great suggestion, it’s just hard to imagine a trans person who owns a Switch not already owning it.

I truly drank my fill of the first game. I found it to be an exemplary of “generous” game development with all the unlockable characters and the “dark/ hell world” and the unlockable lo-fi mini-version of the game, and IMO you can see that generosity also in how it influenced future successful games such as Celeste (also has a fun lo-fi pico8 version of itself for instance). ugh I just loved it so much. no I’m down for them to make a 3D game. I would die for them

I usually try out a couple of new distros whenever I am either setting up a new computer, or something happens with my current machine that requires a fresh OS anyway.

I’ve been married to Pop!_OS for a couple of years now. however, for the past couple of months I’ve been booting exclusively into KDE Plasma on my desktop computer; almost everything works really well for me in that environment, except the built-in Pop!_OS stuff itself, such as the pop shop, does not work very well. so I might end up switching to a distribution that’s built around KDE, such as KDE Neon.

I’m also pretty curious about the Nix package manager and the concept of immutable desktop systems, so I guess I might try NixOS at some point? I don’t know much about it yet.

I feel like the fragility is more of a concern than the weight. either console is sooo entertaining and nice to have on, like, a trainride or whatever that it more than pays for its weight burden in your pack; The risk of it getting its screen broken and needing to be fully replaced is a lot more daunting to me than the need to carry an additional 5 lb around. My steam deck came with a carrying case that I always really appreciate for just that reason.

It’s fun to try to pick up some American Sign Language. The best resource I’m aware of is: https://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lessons.htm

what instrument are you going to learn? still deciding?

that additional context is super interesting, but it doesn’t take away from the fundamental reality which is that when someone opens up to you about suicidal ideation, it’s not acceptable to merely do your best to dissuade them; it’s critical to get them to help they need, and there’s just no way for a LLM to do that.

this individual is an outlier in that his personal outcome was spectacularly bad, but his story seems familiar to me. I know a lot of people who seem to feel like they’re building real relationships with these bots.

I also just switched to KDE/plasma on my Pop!_OS machine after historically using either its built-in GNOME, or before that I would use I guess Unity on Ubuntu. I’ve tried KDE in passing in the past but I’ve never fully appreciated its delighfulness before. The widgets, the configurability, the clipboard history!

I migrated to fish recently and at first I was really annoyed that I had to decompose my ~/.bash_aliases into 67 different script files inside ~/.config/fish/functions/, but (a) I was really impressed with the tools that fish gave me to quickly craft those script files (-

~> function serg
    sed -i -e "s/$1/$2/g" $(rg -l "$1")
end
~> funcsave serg
funcsave: wrote ~/.config/fish/functions/serg.fish

) - and (b) I realized it was something I ought to have done a while ago anyway.

Anyway, all this to say that fish ships with a lot of cool, sensible & interesting features, and one of those features is a built-in place for where your user scripts should live. (Mine is a symlink to ~/Dropbox/config/fish_functions so that I don’t need to migrate them across computers).

he produces content?

oh I don’t consider them obnoxious. I’m from Python-land, they’ve been saving our asses with good tooling lol. the quality of output from the rust ecosystem speaks for itself

Stop it

Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

Yes, but if they regularly snore they probably have sleep apnea. If so, their life would likely be incredibly improved by a sleep study and maybe a CPAP machine.

What language is that engineer and a nerd one?
