I quite listening to a podcast that went hard into streaming crypto coin as a way to boost income. I think I like the idea in principle. But there is something that smells funny to me about cryptocurrency. And I don’t think it actually works that well in principle. Funding open source and open access content is tough.

I’m still using Airsonic-Advanced. I know there are alternatives like gonic and navidrome. But, eh. I like buy music from Bandcamp or directly from the artist, and then upload it to airsonic. Works nice.

I wouldn’t complain about using VSCode if the team i was on primarily used it (a la Typescript). But yeah, I’m glad I am more independent… And not doing web dev.

I honestly was persuaded to start using neovim (again) because of theprimegean. I don’t like his content, but I was so tired of VS Code being so fucking slow and not part of the terminal. I used vim a lot, but with too many plugins it slows to a crawl. So when theprimegean talked about neovim, I was like great, yeah, I should try that. And then a few videos later I blocked his chanel because, yeah, it’s not great.

Do you think chrome is too useful? Do you think Google is not creepy enough? Well I’ve got a new browser for you! Introducing OpenAI clippy browser! OpenAI can now legally steal all your data. With chat bots crammed in every corner. Help us boil the ocean!

Using an LLM to come up with function names for transpiled code would be a good idea, but other than that. Nope.

Is RDJ really a good casting for Doom? I like RDJ, but, this doesn’t seem like a good role for imhis usual schtick. But I am willing to admit I am wrong.

Lonely Starbucks lovers for the win.

I’d probably use selenium. But that depends.

Oh gawd. That would be so horrible! Is there a project o compile JavaScript to bytecode? With like LLVM? There must be, but I haven’t heard of it. I shouldn’t even say anything because I will be better off pretending it doesn’t exist.

The Wittgensteinian Ladder. The pedagogical expedient misinformation.

Oh. Yeah. That’s a good point. When I taught a dead language, I would tell my students that all grammars lie to you, but some of the lies are useful.

Or you get common misconceptions that were never facts. Like you only use 10% of your brain. I don’t think science ever said that, but man the idea is/was really common.

It’s kind of a fun idea, but as everyone has pointed out: every school is different, even of there is some centralized board of education, some times teachers just say dumb shit.

Also, when does a fact become a fact? Like, dinosaurs had feathers. It was theorized, then debated, then clarified, and now there are some reasonable consensus about it, but theropauds probably still aren’t presented as having feathers in some books. And what teachers know this?

Oh! I didn’t know about this! Thanks for posting it

Pine64’s laptops are ARM, but not not RISC-V. they do sell a RISC-V soc (the Star64), but the Rockpro64 chip is ARM.

I want an ARM laptop, but the PinebookPro was a little underpowered for me to use. Some day.

Python is powerful because it easily wraps C libraries that do real work! Just kidding mostly.

But yeah, js isn’t a language I would describe as powerful. Ubiquitous? More capable than you would expect given it’s history? Bloated?

I have had a paper map direct me through a gated community. Thankfully the tools in the truck unfastened the hinges. Still bugs me. It was a county road!

Same. Same. I know some people use their phones, or GPS devices, but when I’m backpacking, I want a paper map and a compass. I bought two a few months back for planning a trips this summer.

Oh! Don’t forget they also funded the Islamic State by buying stolen antiquities. Some of these were even looted from the Iraqi State Museum.
