I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.

Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won’t take many of us to get to $175/mo.

I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won’t give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they’d ever see from me from ads. And I’ve spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

It should never be illegal to link to infringing content in the US. First Amendment should apply if they have any sense.

We need a competitor badly.

Reminds me of sdf.org.

We were there 6 days ago. Mostly fine except they couldn’t change the monitor at the gate to show the proper destination. I wonder if it was this!

I’m the same generation. My flowchart is: known contact, answer. Unknown contact, voicemail. Automatic VM transcriptions are great.

Yikes. Back to Newegg for me!

I don’t know the details behind it, but it sure takes its sweet time figuring it out. I’ve let it sit 20 minutes before giving up.

Yeah. Under a second to the launcher, and (just timed it) 6 seconds to load and run my existing world.

I haven’t measured it, but I can tell I’m noticably slower on standard editors than Vim.

When I had to match against misspells I found Levenshtein distance to be most useful.

Really? Mine launches in a few seconds. Maybe I haven’t explored enough. 😁

It should never be illegal to link to a thing. To host illegal content, sure, that should be illegal. But making it illegal to say where some thing, legal or not, is located is asking for all kinds of trouble.

I can’t find the link, but I read that some Canadian news organizations were using URL shorteners to post their own news to Facebook to get around the block.

I started using one of the userspace oom killers a while ago and have been much happier. Instead of the system becoming unresponsive, suddenly Slack just dies. It’s great.

But the sweaters!

I played quite a bit of solo mineclone2/voxelibre. Really good stuff with a surprisingly short wishlist on my part.

It’s silly, but one of my favorite things is that it fires up the launcher in under a second. Reminds me of when software wasn’t bloated halfway to hell. 😁
