It would be up to the user to decide how granular to chunk things. Monthly? Yearly? Anyway, seems downloading bulk feeds over and over is going to be problematic.

I’m going to call all “apps” programs again as part of my retro-computing experience.
so glad USB phone tethering exists. no way am I going to stumble through wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli to connect to coffeeshop wifi
New repository: aquilax/truncate - Go library for truncating strings
@frogotbits.com Well actually I don’t have that much to right down (I think) so a bujo might be overkill. Actually I’m good with Taskwarrior for now, I find it faster to manage tasks, but having a place where I can put tasks and thoughts on paper is nice. That’s why i’m gonna go with dash-plus as @lucidiot@tilde.town showed me :)
New repository: aquilax/grafana-ledger-data-source-server - Grafana server for ledger data written in Go
@johanbove@johanbove.info I mean, I’d keep this one, but also create another one just to let go thoughts. But yeah, the more I think about it the sillier it gets.
Going to see Terminator Dark Fate next tuesday - somewhat big expectations

I have the feeling that this is going to be a looooong week
vat brains often philosophize over whether they’re actually brains in bodies but usually dismiss it as absurd, why should for example someone go the trouble of engineering the human body and all the world around it as opposed to vats, it just totally fails occam’s razor
I have nothing to say, but by god I’m going to spend a lot of time looking for tools to help me say it
@kas@enotty.dk Your link made it into the libraries test. 😂 https://github.com/FluuxIO/go-xmpp/commit/005c8823d9a3d57c133737f1f889658c3ddb869b
I’d say that 75% of the notes I take are never used again. Why spend so much time on the process of taking notes if they’re just going to disappear anyway?
I’m not sure I like how homebrew will try to build a package if the download fails. I don’t need a second go binary, really.

Today I learned that onions are a sulfur-rich food. You can experience this yourself if you caramelize down roughly seven onions and eat half the batch in one sitting. Try not to do this if you’re going to be around people with functioning noses.
Finally reinstalled twtxt. Hope all is going well

Walking through stopped time isn’t as easy as one would believe: Even if you have the gift, you must leave causality unbroken. You can only step sideways in time, go where your past steps could plausibly have taken you.

Apparently, not only is Netflix making more FMV VNs, but Youtube Red is going to produce some too? As a VN author I can’t complain too much but jesus are we in 1993 again? The return to forgotten history in the tech industry gives me whiplash
going without was fun and all, but i’m glad to have something to use again

i’m going without a laptop for a week… i’m really excited about it and day 1 was great so far
We ought to be suspicious of business plans that resemble manifest destiny: expansion into supposedly-unclaimed regions, turning inhabitants into tools & discarding the resistant (who now have nowhere to go) or worse.
Why Conspiracy Videos Go Viral on YouTube - The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/02/reason-conspiracy-videos-work-so-well-youtube/583282/
A lot of people are going to start watching Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, and then say ‘this looks like trash’ and stop watching it. They’re right, and it’s a shame. Higurashi had the same problem.
Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.

Unusual core features for a dream language for small computing: MUMPS-style disk persistence of otherwise normal variables indicated by sigils, go-style piping between coroutines or greenthreads, message passing & guards like erlang, parsing backtracking like icon, constraint solving like prolog
i think it’s going to take some time before i can actually Do School again…
One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.
@kas@enotty.dk I should have gone for the two-hour nap (to a first approximation, I can’t powernap). Ended up going to bed at 5 without having had a two-hour nap previously. Failed experiments are the price of knowledge, I guess.
My furnace broke & the furnace repair guy is snowed in, & it’ll be going below zero tonight. So, I had to run to walmart & buy a bunch of space heaters, & I’ll be up all night making sure nothing catches on fire :(
Where did all the utopias go? Well, nobody writes utopian novels anymore, but everybody writes utopian code

We all know about social constructs vs reality, but there are levels of spookiness (and no upper bound). We can define them as how far a lie can go before the truth gets its boots on. Spookiness level one – money – already goes basically perpetually.

80: innocuous-looking, but refuses to output anything. instead, random things in my room go bump. ‘u’ reliably closes the curtains, while the first ‘del’ the made my room shake with generator hum. have yet to figure out where it is. help I can’t sleep
Remember: unless your turkey sees its shadow, you must go back underground and avoid buying anything until halloween of next year.
Oh no… The Alita movie is going to try to cover the rollerball arc in addition to the first arc.
I’m going to be periodically posting research resources for the new book here, as I find them: http://www.lord-enki.net/resources-survey-of-alternatives.html
Bunny-Girl Senpai is an interesting show. It seems to be going for a theme with the various arcs: each one seems to be about how communications media change our behavior & self-image by exerting social pressure with expectations.
@khuxkm@khuxkm.tilde.team yeaaaaa buddy go get em. hack-n-slash-em hacktober!
Because of the use of ‘rune’ to refer to unicode codepoints in go, a fulthark transliteration program might have somewhat confusing source…

Is there already a term for going into a piece of media with the expectation that it won’t be a waste of time / there’s something to be gained by paying attention & thinking? (Like ‘good-faith viewership’?)
I love it. I have a program that needs to processing about half a million records, which will take 3 days. The database that all those records are suppose to go to is acting up after I’ve just done 140K records.
i should start going to be earlier
Pet peeve: on my work computer, 80% of my lobste.rs comments double-post because of some kind of missing deduplication logic. Then, I have to periodically go through all my threads to delete the duplicates. Sometimes one copy of the post will have 2 upvotes & the other 3.

If imports from China suddenly dropped substantially (say, due to tariffs), would enough manufacturing business go back to S. Korea & Japan to affect Japan’s almost-30-year economic stagnation?

My feed will be deader than usual for a while so I’m going to be automatically posting a medium story I clapped for every 4 hours. Set your filters accordingly.
This Fred Turner book really makes me wish we had good hypertext integrated into publishing. Hard to go more than a sentence or two in From Counterculture to Cyberculture without wanting to link it to Rise of the Machines, or Encountering America, or What the Dormouse Said, or Fire in the Valley
Bad idea of the day: ‘twitch writes a novel’: the previous ~15 words are shown & the top ~20 next words based on a markov model of some corpus are voted on over a 2 minute period (going to the first item, if no votes are cast) until 50k words are written.
I’m always amazed at how many people I work with go out to eat each day. I don’t know how they afford to that.
This is a very hot take and also not a new one but here we go: the goal of a properly functioning software engineer is to obviate themselves, not by solving the customer’s specific problems but by blurring the line between using a computer and programming one to the point where users can solve their own problems.

Reading about Web Prolog & it reminds me a lot of the work I did on Mycroft. I wonder: how will routing work here? If fully-qualified predicates have an explicit hostname component, Web Prolog can go fuk.
Finance has its own term for ‘skin in the game’: ‘insider trading’. It’s also a legal term, because people very occasionally go to jail for being too obvious when they do it.
Go is a much stranger language than I initially understood. Anyhow, this is my work thus far on an implementation of the Io language in it: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/kamui/senketsu.go
PSA: skepticism != disbelief; criticism != insult. If a ‘skeptic’ ‘criticizes’ something, that means actual intellectual effort is going into examination.
Hot take: anybody who understands markets isn’t going to be a free-market purist. A market is a piece of social machinery with particular environmental requirements under which it works, & those requirements are rare.
