@paninid It’s okay tarantulas are very shy. It’s the javalinas you gotta look out for.
But yah we moved to Tucson recently, and there are all sorts of interesting critters and plants here. The plants are way more aggressive then the critters.

@grmpyprogrammer I’m pretty sure it’ll be a slow swirl around that drain given the established nature of Laravel — which I’ve generally interpreted as “well-organized projects are good, and also taking money is good.”
But yeah. Something something “the sound of inevitability.”

@packetcat I don’t really understand Linux.

I already miss the cool balmy days of only 95F.
Expected high of 103F today.

@emd @grmpyprogrammer I could be wrong about the slow swirl, too. Venture capital has been making some very big bets, and may be in a hurry to get some payoff.
But hey maybe not. Maybe the inevitable happens later rather than sooner.

The No Man’s Sky update post credited a drawing of a traveller fishing off the side of their ship as inspiration for their fishing minigame.
The original artist, while recognizing the silliness of taking the claim at face value, has rolled with the idea.

@m reliable air conditioning, minimizing my time outside, and there’s something to the whole “but it’s a dry heat.”
Mostly the first two.

Problem with schema-heavy knowledge management systems — okay, so you know how you can get lost fiddling with how to organize your notes to the point where you’re not actually taking notes?
okay now multiply that times “what kind of note is this and what attributes should it have?”

I know it in the abstract of course, but when I stop to think there are entire grown-ass people done with college or whatever their first round of adult mistakes was who are younger than this album

@vees recently I alternated between gtypist (terminal-based, very dry but effective) and Typing of the Dead (uh how old are these kids? Maybe not)

@m Even without using it as my login shell, Nu’s replaced easily half a dozen different CLI tools I considered core to my workflow.
hackers.town: 2024-09-05 Thu 18:21
@m since so many systems expect POSIX and Nushell isn’t as mature as other novel shells like Fish, my suggestion is to set it up as a dedicated profile in your terminal emulator and maybe even make that profile default, but keep Bash or whatever as $SHELL and a handy click away for emergencies.

@flyingsaceur unfortunately as soon as I saw “west coast” this is all my brain would let me think of for the last hour or so

Technically I succeeded. I’m just waiting for Obsidian to be responsive again.
No I don’t think I’ll be trying this with Logseq.

Activating health coverage provider at new job. Without really thinking about it, used the password saved in my password manager. From the job five years ago.
It worked, and shows my current coverage. With the old work email.
ADHD’d my way to success with that one and yet I’m kind of uncomfortable.
