I used to own a dahon that I got from a guy on craigslist back in like 2011/2012. Incredible bike. After moving further out of the city for cheaper rent I sold it to help pay rent. Really wish I could have kept it.

Your work will be used to power an auto aim kill bot. I personally couldn't live with that.

If these cowardly goons are afraid of American citizens exercising their second amendment rights they should find another job.

It is famously against the law to own a gun, and carry it with a permit in the United States.

A key difference is that we didn't act alone in World War II, and we were fighting very legitimate aggression (fascism).

I hope you find that your first and last goals "re-learn focus" and "prioritize body" feed into each other nicely. I worked a lot at my ability to focus on tasks (not just work, but in general) this year, and starting an exercise routine really helped me out a lot. Strength work is a time for me to not be on the phone or computer. Having that time to be in my own head and just think about stuff I find helps sharpen my mind for the rest of the day. Good look!
Re:Logging Sucks on Sunday December 21, 2025 @05:12PM (#46349111)
Do you really loose the ability to grep? You can still search for json fragments `grep '"uid": "user-123"' application.log`

If the json logged isn't pretty printed everything should still be on one line. You can also grep with the `--context` flag to get more surrounding lines.

I believe one of the things that prompted stallman to give that talk was the inclusion of the lsp client "eglot" in emacs. Eglot i think is short for emacs polyglot.

The most idiomatic name, lsp-mode, was taken by another package. Stallman wanted to find another name but no one seemed to care as much as he did. I think one name he suggested in its place at one point was "code-parse" or something like that.

That's one of the classes I would really like to take. If I end up doing it the kids might spend a lot of time with grandma that semester.

Thanks for sharing that! I still have a lot of time to think about enrolling thankfully.

I just enjoy school, nothing is holding me back.
Re:OMSCS Open Courseware on Saturday December 06, 2025 @03:22PM (#46176321)
Yeah, thinking about waiting until both the kids themselves are in school and then 1 course a semester for me. Not sure if that will be easier or harder than doing it while they are young

Re:JEP 483: Ahead-of-Time Class Loading and Linking on Sunday December 22, 2024 @03:19PM (#42488768)
Clojure and the JVM are so dynamic its hard to infer what namespaces/vars/classes might be needed during runtime. That makes static analysis like tree-shaking difficult. Whose to say some strings are concatenated together at runtime and used to load a namespace that might have been tree-shaken out? The only way to really know is to run the program.
I read this book after seeing this comment. It was a fun book, thank you!

What a beautiful post. I've always had a difficult time explaining how having a child has fundamentally changed who I am to people who don't have kids. This captures some of that well. Thank you for sharing!!
Starting with some kind of namespacing solution for emacs lisp would be nice.

Sounds like Eli is not married to this as the default behavior (I'm not a fan of it either).

From https://yhetil.org/emacs/[email protected]/

Eli says:

> Now, that others chimed in with the opposite views, we are still discussing what should be the behavior, and once that is concluded, we can talk about the defaults.

Yes! It's the Palestinians slaughtering their own children by the thousands! Definitely not the occupying army that is bombing all the schools and hospitals.
