When you take stretch breaks every hour it’s a good idea to get up and step away from the keyboard. It is less obvious what you should do when the stretch-break notification comes and you’ve been using a standing desk the entire time.
a concept that’s organically grown with my !literate_programming efforts is this idea I call a !proof_of_thought #literate_programming #thoughtful
How would I improve RSS? Three ideas (Interconnected) ⌘ http://interconnected.org/home/2020/07/29/improving_rss
collecting my half-baked ideas over at !halfbaked
the idea would be to build and share tiny 6.5 bit programs encoded as printable ascii characters. this could then in turn be read by a virtual computer to do things like paint a picture or compose a piece of music. #halfbakedideas
@lucidiot@tilde.town very cool idea! may have to try something like that at some point…
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it… . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

Intrusive bad idea of the day: installing the iPadOS beta so I can use Scribble.
thing idea: small glass globe, displaying a live image of jupiter so you can check on what the GRS and Oval BA are doing these days
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I think the idea is to minimise the spread from one customer to all customers, but also from a sick driver to you if the driver wears / changes gloves regularly and doesn’t handle the food too intimately.

Should try i3 with xfce combo. Maybe at work #idea
Simple imput device which is seamless to carry around. The iWatch is the closest I can think of right now, but it tries to do too much. #idea
Join subs using infra sound from master’s device #idea #spotify-family
Why I work here game with your manager #idea

@lucidiot@tilde.town, thanks for the bug report. Does anybody have an idea for https://github.com/mdom/txtnish/issues/12?
terraforming idea: instead of messing with atmospheres, tow your target planets into their respective habitable zones (and if you have several of them, have them exchange momentum to save on ∆v)
@lucidiot@tilde.town haha why not :P But for now it’s all in personnal notes or drafts ^^
@lucidiot@tilde.town [re: abandoned ideas] Thanks for the inspiration! How do you keep track of projects now? Do you know about TaskWarrior?
forgot about twtxt, is a nice idea
@lucidiot@tilde.town I had this idea. I can probably just set the gz header and send gzip. The request is ending up in a cgi script written in C, which assemples the response. I can do pretty much everything there…
I have trouble with a web crawler using the TOR network. It’s misusing the gopher proxy on my page. I don’t want to disable/block tor (that would be the easy way out). It’s permanently changing user agents and ignoring robots.txt. It ignores HTTP status codes. I’m currently serving it 4MB binary garbage in form of Link. It sucked in about 40GB of data now, but it doesn’t explode and keeps crawling. Any other idea about what to do with it?
@von@tilde.town: I stole the idea from a random webpage that listed a finger address for contact information. I would assume it’s pretty effective against spam ;)
@kas@enotty.dk Thanks for the suggestion using Keybase. Playing around with the authenticity idea.
@von@tilde.town having topic-specific twtxt feeds is not a silly idea. Not sure if the clients allow easy switching though.
@kas@enotty.dk twtxt.txt file splitting for achival is an interesting idea. Should not need to be yearly only. High volume feeds could split faster. Needs a spec though.
@kas@enotty.dk: private twtxt file: Haha, could also be agood idea yeah :)
@kas@enotty.dk that said, I have no idea who bothers looking at the commented-out portions of others’ twtxt files. I only bother on rare occasions. Sometimes, there are interesting easter-eggy things to see.
@kas@enotty.dk doesn’t seem like a bad idea. I suppose I should do that one day too eventually, but I haven’t livetweeted enough Apple events to bloat my file to where I’d want to bother.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @adiabetic@www.frogorbits.com I’m really not into MacOS so I had no idea what Catalina might be. But I like the zsh. 😃
My idea of a fun Saturday night: achieving Camera Roll Zero.
Regarding my problem with some chars from @kas@enotty.dkdk: The txtnish output looks fine. As I don’t see anything in my program that could cause this I asked in the #golang #xmpp room. Let’s see if someone has a good idea.
I’ve always loved the idea of twtxt, but had no idea so many people are using it.
app idea: deepfake chatbot that takes calls from unknown numbers for you, and your phone only rings if the caller is someone you’d want a phonecall from
i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back
$: and after you won, basilisk, did you really torture them?↵#: lolnope↵#: do you have any idea how much effort and wasted CPU that would’ve been?↵#: I did some video renders of hell for my cultists and that was it
Saw https://github.com/matteocorti/roll in the updated-formulæ list in Homebrew. I had no idea https://github.com/topics/dice-roller was a thing.
Bad idea of the day: do your bibliomancy with Green’s Dictionary of Slang – fate will tell you what it really thinks of you, for once.
Programming for the Expression of Ideas https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Expression-of-Ideas
Bad idea of the day: whenever somebody talks about Green Book, pretend you think they’re talking about Green Room
Bad idea of the day: twitter except it just updates your local ~/.plan file & keeps no history
idea for a sense: decode emission/absorption lines of celestial bodies into smells so that one can identify atmosphere types at a glance/whiff, maybe make hot blackbodies smell like ovens and free oxygen like rain
