‘Based’ Paganism vs. Christianity
I’ve been meaning to write about Paganism recently. I will frame it as a response to an email I received within the past day or so:
Hey Luke,
First off, I would like to thank you for all your efforts in making everything
you know accessible to everyone. You have exposed me to some of the most
thought-provoking people on the internet and Varg is one of them. I was
wondering if you can write an article or make a video on what you think about

(#ay7e6ka) @eaplmx That reminds me, I should start doing some exercises, too. Years ago, I wrote a web application to track those and two other mates used it as well. This way we motivated us to do our daily pushups and situps. I even extended it to upload GPX trajectories from our bike rides and hikes to show the route on an OSM map. Finally, you could enter your weights and get a nice graph with all the ups and downs. I should revibe this project. And maybe even rewrite it.

@prologic@twtxt.net Haha, of course, no worries! :-) Yup, I thought to try Go for this web application this time. REST API and web UI would be both needed in my opinion. I have at least two mates who would need a UI instead of a programmer-friendly interface. :-D
It’s far from complete, but I started writing something down: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/kraftwerk2

This is also something people keep getting wrong about Markdown as originally presented. Markdown isn’t a format. It’s a convenience tool that helps you write some of the boringest and commonest parts of HTML easier, and you can easily drop into more wonky HTML at any time.

Into the World of Eileen Chang

As one of the most perceptive authors of Chinese contemporary literature, Eileen Chang’s fictional writings are best known for her acute observation of all walks of life and the rich tapestry of human relationships in Hong Kong and Shanghai in the 1940s and 50s. Although it has already been 27 years since Chang’s death, her works are still loved by readers of different generations, … ⌘ Read more

I’ve been fiddling with writing programs that draw pictures. I started with PostScript for this, but have since moved to writing programs that output in the .pbm format.
My goal here is to write noise to a .pbm file.
A .pbm file is the lowest common denominator among image file formats.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Mr. Fastidious. We fully agree with you.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Sir, you really should have forked that conversation long back to keep our environment clean and tidy. Unfortunately, you did not attend the meeting earlier, so we have to advise you in writing to be prudent. Please keep in mind the fork lockdown is currently not in place. There are currently no plans to enforce it in the near future.
Nominally, my seen/read list for 2021, but I missed a lot of short readings. I may try to write more about these things this year. http://a.9srv.net/media/2021

I tried to write a“ year in review” kinda post, but it got wicked melodramatic pretty fast. This year has been a slog…it really fucking sucked.

@movq Another feature request: sometimes I start writing a twt but then would like to discard it. It would be great if jeny could detect that I did not wrote (or saved) anything and then discards the twt instead of creating an "empty" one.
⤋ Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t by your example (rebasing behaviour), sorry.
Writing a twt is more similiar to writing a commit message. Git does quite some checks to detect that nothing new was written and happily discards a commit if you just leave the editor. You don’t need any special action, just quit your editor. Git will take care for the rest.
But it’s OK as it is. I just didn’t expect that I have to select and delete all to discard a twt. So it’s C-x h C-w C-x C-c for me.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de My workflow is as follows.
I hit “reply” hotkey and my editor comes up.
With or without writing something I close my editor without saving the content.
Of course I close it by C-x C-c, not by :q! ;-)
Jenny finds the temp file unchanged, e.g. it’s content is the same as it was when my editor was started. I would like that jenny discards the reply then.
Autosaving is no problem either. Real editors do this to a temporary (kind of backup) file. Only in case of a crash that file is consulted and the user is asked if she would like to continue with that stored content.

Struct Tags with Underscore Before Function Names
In the Go world, an underscore (_) before an expression is called a blank identifier. As you may already know, identifiers—user-defined program components, e.g., name of a function, variable, or package—in Go must be preceded by an underscore or a letter (a-z or A-Z). If they aren’t, you’ll receive the compile- time error which essentially means Go cannot read the syntax of your code (you didn’t write your code correctly … ⌘ Read more
I want NaNoWriMo but for tech writing.
Got to love the sense of humour:
Blog.txt supports multiple options for the chronological order of posts. If you start writing new posts below old posts, the default post sort is descending. If you start writing new posts above all the old posts, like I do, then the post sort algorithm will default to ascending. But if the user would like to change the sort order of the posts, they can press the “End” button on their keyboard to reverse the default chronological order!
** Data Types and Variables in C **
I’ve been writing a heap of Lua lately — this has lead to my becoming interested, again, in C. Here are some ancient notes I dug up on the most basics of data types and variables in C.
All of a computer’s memory is comprised of bits. A sequence of 8 bits forms a byte. A group of bytes (typically 4 or 8) form a word. Each word is associated with a memory address. The address increases by 1 with each byte of memory.
In C, a byte is an object that is as big as t … ⌘ Read more
