@[email protected] @[email protected] Ah, apologies if that's the case. I'd read it as an example of something so obviously unreasonable that it would probably never happen, but re-reading you're likely correct.
I hate to reduce your faith in humanity further @[email protected], but I have watched a real human being in real life do exactly this. And even be surprised that the other meat eaters didn't back him up. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
Particularly annoying is they could have had the whole lot in about 30 seconds using, you know, git on the git repositories and in a better format for them as well.
Just finished an emergency shut down of my personal forgejo instance before the server ran out of disk space because, once more, "someone" decided that downloading a zip archive of every commit of every public repo with no rate limiting was a grand idea.
Exactly how I wanted to spend Saturday night...
The fun thing about running the same course more than once is that you get to see how differently the same ideas turn out based on questions asked, how quickly people work, delays from technical issues, skills growing...
So now we have multiple orcs and multiple corridors. Got a preference? #GameDev #VisualNovel #Play #Krita
@[email protected] My son has just gone to uni as a mostly sane human, and I endorse this message. All decent parenting advice is based on anecdote or the statistical mean, which means it may be helpful (oddly, especially if it is something that sounds counter intuitive) but your baby is not the baby from the anecdote nor a statistically average baby in every way so it may not be helpful even if it's generally really good advice.
@[email protected] @[email protected] My wife tried to convince my son he should answer calls on his mobile even if the number was unknown, and he looked at her as if she'd grown two heads. He's never once in his 18+ years alive received an important piece of information from an unknown phone number, and he's not expecting to start now.
I've mentioned Kardi a few times recently, and this is a solid intro mix of some of their recent songs from Mu:con. Unfortunately, the sound engineering isn't great compared to most of the stuff on their own channel.
So why I am sharing this particular video on the #fediverse? Because whoever's doing the marketing at Mu:con looked long and hard at their music, give up and listed them as: #Rock / #GenreFluid . I have never heard a better tag line for either Kardi or for sharing anything on the fediverse...

@[email protected] Makes sense, and I think I can run with that. I'm running an online course for teenagers on creating their own computer game assets (visual and audio) and I felt a hole in the last iteration was I didn't have a tool to suggest if they wanted to make their own music. Given I'll be covering Audacity (a bit) for doing their own sound effects and Foley work, I can easily add using it to record the browser audio output from Sonic Pi online. I think. I'll need to experiment for a moment first.
Having Sonic Pi available in the browser is such a game changer for this kind of thing, and I'm amazingly grateful for your long term work on it (and for how much the original release of Sonic Pi inspired my son to get into music composition as a hobby growing up) - if I had any money to send your way I'd absolutely be sending some over...
@[email protected] Random question: is there a few to output to a downloadable file (i.e. record a performance as at runs)? I can't see it, and I understand it isn't the main use case, but I thought I'd ask.
Just reminded in the context of this thread that a CS undergrad student ask me for some tutoring in their intro to programming course, and in the second session went "wait - how many programming languages do you know? How many are there? Do I need to know all of them?"
TL;DR: if you're consistently extremely low on energy, especially if exercise comes with mental 'fog' or delayed feelings of being drained, do not follow medical advice to gradually increase exercise to rebuild capacity until you've read up on #ChronicFatigue and #PEM (post-exertional malaise).
This one hits quite close to home; Monbiot in the Guardian gives a searing but accurate look at how poor support for anyone with #ChronicFatague / #ME / #LongCovid is in the UK and Europe - which probably includes millions of people. Why do I know it's accurate? Because I've been out of work for well over 18 months myself suffering from the condition, and I have been given exactly the bad advice in the article and had exactly the same dismissal from doctors (apart from the sexism, but that's only because I was 'lucky' enough to be born male). I don't spend a huge amount of time in the opinion sections of newspapers, but sometimes things end up there because nobody actually talking about them as news.
@[email protected] To be fair, it looks like a good chunk of the bibliography is already online in this thread :D. Can't help feeling that @[email protected] will be delivering the ideas with more enthusiasm than the original authors though. Some of the papers, while excellent, are, erm, dry.
@[email protected] I was mostly joking. But only because I knew it doesn't generally work that way - not because I wouldn't actually be interested!
@[email protected] Is there an online sign up for just this course?! PL (and the world, frankly) is badly in need of wild enthusiam directed by knowledgeable intent and tempered in the fires of historical examples, and I for one would be so on board that train
@[email protected] @[email protected] makes unreasonably proud noises at random graph
@[email protected] @[email protected] Do it! Real time grafana pretty graphs of energy production (optionally with some carefully chosen alerts) are surprisingly motivating to help things like running energy heavy appliances at the cheapest times. And even seeing historic usage can clue you into habits of energy usage you didn't realise you had.
@[email protected] Anyway, emacs key combos are super discoverable due to its amazing built in help. Just search for the operation you want to achieve! Who wouldn't think to search for "yank from kill ring"?
I genuinely love emacs, but boy do some people say some strange things about it.
@[email protected] UI serendipity would lead me (a fellow emacs user) to suggest @[email protected] 's newly coined emacsing
