The project I've been quietly working on now has its second iteration using @deno.land and @supabase.com, better than ever and ready to make the world more reasonable: www.howtruthful.com
I'm eager to talk about it, but can't during the workday today. Try it out. Comment and I'll answer tonight.
I would read such a post
Surely websockets were a key moment in javascript's evolution
Years ago I made the claim the world is too complex and full of lies, so I no longer demand truth, but rather treat everything online as entertainment. If I need to know something, I’d research it specifically.
Nobody agreed.
I’m unhappily vindicated.
when someone follows you and their account consists solely of reskeets... are they having no original thoughts?
My opening two words from "Motif #1" served me well today.

I focus on eliminating as many letters as I can, and even with that strategy I almost lost my streak.

I focus on eliminating letters, not guessing the full word. That keeps my daily streak going, even if my average guesses are higher than they could be
I'd been thinking it's time to retire this particular meme, but now I've changed my mind.

If you do buy a Mega Millions ticket, consider playing 1,2,3,4,5,6. If, as you write the numbers, you find yourself thinking that this is insane that it's nearly impossible that those numbers will ever be drawn, know that you're right. And every combination has the same odds.
Mega Millions odds are roughly 1 in 300 million. Picture a roulette wheel with one number every inch. It would be about 1500 miles wide. (I'm using those units because it's a US lottery.) Would you pay for a spin on such a wheel?

My game addiction is back.
I can't believe @deno.land got me to do 20 whole days of Advent of Code just for stickers. github.com/brlewis/brle...
I'm pleasantly surprised that they tested their ideas with observation.
Advocates of violence need to mull this over:
Could you please give an example one-liner whose beauty would be marred by TS? Type inference is generally good enough that I can't imagine an instance where incredible stuff in one line of JS wouldn't also be incredible stuff in one line of TS.
My experience with TypeScript-first codebases is the opposite. TS is tremendously helpful. The only context where it would make sense to me that anyone would be 2x as productive without it would be when in a codebase that was JS-first with lots of dynamic typing.
Today I learned something that makes me happy: Another Johnny English movie is being worked on: productionlist.com/production/j...
You eat pets. Don't deny it. The fact that somebody else far away from you ate a pet proves it. And the MSM are lying if they say you don't. (Using same reasoning you're using)
They got me.

This whole thread is in response to a study that documents reduced transmission. You're directly replying to a comment that says nobody's claiming masks 100% eliminate transmission. I believe there are anti-mask people who can be reasoned with, but you aren't one of them.
Speaking face-to-face with this person, you get way less exposure to their breath than if they're unmasked. This photo actually argues for masks reducing transmission. (It would argue against masks 100% eliminating transmission, but nobody's claiming that.)
I didn't see any rule against that
The probability that I'll do Advent of Code this year just went up.
I've never done anything in Prolog. I wonder if this would be a good use for that?
If not, Lisp macros are great for DSLs.
I'm seeing posts about lots of non-bsky PDS (personal data stores). That's got to be at least a partial success.
I told bluesky my age and that I'm interested in software development. From how full my feed is of pictures of retro computers, I think it's leaning heavily on age. I actually have fonder feelings toward my current laptop, a Framework 13 running Ubuntu, than I do toward my first computers.
