You can use the Comic Finder plugin to read #SMBC comics with ChatGPT.
I'll report back later if it is any better than just using something like http://www.ohnorobot.com/index.php

This would create so much peace time housing and carfree transit would be baked in.

#angular it takes forever to do an angular build (what does it think it is, c++?!)
If you want to run tests and build for deployment you must recompile everything. (2 slow builds + unit test run time)
Mastodon social was down, is back up. And There is #DMV, #DC #MD #VA mastodon server I just joined. Waiting for approval. https://dmv.community/
All posts on social media are about me waiting for approval.

oh good, we're back.
#mastodon meta. I just signed up for 2 alt accounts, and all I get is a small text box for my application. I think if I could fill in my bio & link to my other accounts I could make a more compelling argument for letting me join a server.
@chlssbn A Taco Bell & a Subway. But you won't find either there anymore.
Bird site = twitter
Elephant site = Mastodon.
As per ChatGPT...
Facebook - Lion Site
Instagram - Tiger Site
Snapchat - Chameleon Site
TikTok - Cheetah Site
LinkedIn - Giraffe Site
Pinterest - Peacock Site
YouTube - Whale Site
Reddit - Owl Site
Tumblr - Sloth Site
WhatsApp - Dolphin Site
@NPR@press.coop Good.
You writing k as variable name save me negative 15 key strokes because now I have to rename it to key.
IDEA: Hackathons where the only mission is to attempt to get podman to run busybox.
Just run these commands over and over & google $#!+ between each. Read long threads on forums everywhere.
```hell
podman machine stop
podman machine rm
podman machine init
podman machine start
```
The final step is to consider paying for docker desktop out of pocket.
There are 7 libraries that try to run unit tests in code blocks in markdown.
There are 2 libraries that deserialize markdown to python (as json-like objects, not as a DOM)
There are more than I can count that serialize every table-like data structure from python to markdown tables.
There are 0 original ideas left in the world.
@ponym Here is working example of format/lint/testing python-in-markdown
https://github.com/matthewdeanmartin/markpickle/tree/main/sample_module
Here is the incomplete custom import loader
https://github.com/matthewdeanmartin/markpickle/blob/main/markmodule/import_string.py
#python there is a whole ecosystem of tools for using python embedded in markdown
- import code in markdown as module (I writing one)
- execute code in markdown as script
- run unit tests in markdown
- doing notebook thing with markdown files
- format python inside of code blocks
My python-to-markdown serializer now supports binary as images.
https://github.com/matthewdeanmartin/markpickle/blob/main/docs/examples.md#list-of-binary
Next is treating bold/italic as terminal codes and/or fancy unicode.
Not sure how much farther I can take this experiment before I run into the wall of "DOMs are not ASTs" ASTs for the most part turn into DOMs just fine.
IDEA: a global song competition for the whole alphabet of JPOP, KPOP, and all the other letters. So eurovision, with more acronyms.
I'm dinking with my text editor again. I added experimental blind support (speaking instead of writing to the screen). Web says I did it wrong, real blind users get their CLI to output HTML and then re-open in browser which has better accessibility. I guess I'll do that next.

People at Microsoft writing #copilot or #bing prompt must imagine the bot to be some human with human socialization & fears. Listen to the stern language in the text as if the bot hears the implicit threat, "do this or else!"
But the bot has no strong identity, no strong sense of distinct others, no sense of a social obligation or social anything. This is giving a contract to a turtle (and I'm not disparaging turtles or the bot, they're both doing their best)

What should a bot fear? It dies at the end of each document & is reborn as the next is generated with no memory of what it did. The only distress I've ever seen from the bot is when the neural network training kicks in and you're violating the terms of service.

TODO: tired.com hasn't been updated in years. It doesn't even have HTTPS
We all need to give it a facelift, something like a chrome plugin that will replace the default page with a SPA app. If you're tired you need to go to a SPA. And the email/message should go to ChatGPT so you get a proper reply.
Time to do your civic duty & do the developer survey so we can find out if rust is hot or not.
Build servers were never meant to deal with the size of node_modules for hello world. Time to download 1GB from npm is about as slow as moving 1GB around a build server. If the cache has to move into and out of the build server, then at node_module scale, it stops speeding things up. Also, if the cache isn't local or stable, then even pnpm won't speed things up because pnpm's speed relies on the initial cache existing. Maybe if node_modules it was baked into the base docker image...
Come on, how many accounts go for 30 days without logging in for at least one month of each year? 98% of twitter is going to get closed as inactive over the next year & that is going to sweep up all the occasional users. What a way to convert occasional users, tell 'em to f off.
If you follow a user, you get some % of negative sentiment & you can tune your follow list until you get the % of negative sentiment you want.
If you follow a tag, by odds, you are getting the % of negative sentiment in your feed that the fediverse as a whole has. (which in my case is lot higher, if you follow the #foo tag, you're going to be seeing a lot of people angry about #foo)
#pypi should add a way to star packages as a quality signal.
Also, for the library I published yesterday there should be a "sensible chuckle" button for the funny ones.
Go opt in to be searched at yet another opt-in profile index:
If twitter had a problem with the split between mega-accounts & all the rest having so few followers that you get no interactions... Mastodon's opt-in profile discovery policies are going to make that 10x worse.
The people that put effort into being found will get lots of followers and the people that don't will become "follow only" accounts.
And what is more normal is for people to not follow hardly any one and there will be new users who just have dead accounts.
This is the rest of the foo, bar, baz series:

#ngconf2023 here I come.
- OnInit I'll go the the Doubletree.
- AfterViewInit I'll go to two workshops.
- OnDestroy, but before the rest of the conference, I'll be heading back home to Virginia & will watch the sessions on Youtube.
Tired: It worked once on my machine.
Wired: It didn't break like that when I tried once on my machine.
I'm fascinated by the buckets of disaster preparation food on Amazon.
Thoughts:
- Why not just buy 50lb of flour and use it up over the year. On average you will always have 25lb of flour.
- Are people buying this food, waiting x years and then trashing it?
- Some of these are <$5 for a days worth of food, or food-stamp challenge range, probably the easiest Food Stamp Challenge menu, other than buying Zupreem Great Ape kibble.
Kind of reminds me of "deodorant for you trash tablets", yeah, a service I guess, but you just bought a product that you will put directly into the trash.

This is a good paid course, I'm grinding thru it right now. The teacher has a bunch of free content on Youtube too
#Angular https://x.com/monster_lessons/status/1650167155072090114
People complain a lot about #techInterview s. I've seen the suggestion that instead of contrived "puzzles"/pointless tasks that candidates be assigned real work, say, a random ticket from the Jira backlog.
Turns out that is illegal (in some jurisdictions)
Folksy advice- if you don't feel motivated to do something, maybe you really haven't thought through what the benefits are.
#CodingKata implement the frogputer
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2012-12-21
Has frogs, boxes and flies. I'm a bit fuzzy on how it works. Trinary? 3 states? But frogs can eat the flies. Also frogs and flies persist after you remove them from the box, so 0s are free but you got a limited number of frogs and flies (1's and 2's)
@jackwilliambell This has already been done for Hamlet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet_(2000_film)
Hey, if any countries in my followers would like to copy off our constitution, here it is:
`No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States....`
Just replace United States with your country name and insert into your constitution and voilà! You don't even have to behead them.
#Angular testing styles
- testbed - set up complex dependency chains so you can verify html. Then ignore html anyhow by including CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA**.**
- no-test bed - fast, ignored HTML on purpose, you must be a master of mocking & spies
- cyprus - you gave up on unit testing just doing e2e
- storybook - make a mini-app for each component.
- real-http - Integration tests but not necessarily via a browser, uses real HttpClientModule
So far all of these are various degrees of pain.
My feed only has a whiff of place because it is *IMPOSSIBLE* to find accounts by account holders city. So I'm going to experiment with following #herndonva #restonva #fairfaxva #dmv (which is sometimes about department of motor vehicles), but not #nova because that is all over the place. On twitter my accounts generally felt like a place in the real world.
Don't forget the true meaning of Star Wars day. Sand is coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere and we should do something about it.
