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

The best part of Pokémon Go is hatching eggs. I just wish I could queue up eggs for the incubators so I didn’t have to check my phone every now and again. Actually, I wish there was a game where you just hatched eggs.

Screaming In the Cloud with Corey Quinn and Docker CEO Scott Johnston
On August 31st, Docker announced updates to our product subscriptions — Docker Personal, Pro, Team and Business. Our CEO Scott Johnston recently joined Corey Quinn on an episode of Screaming in the Cloud to go over all the details and discuss how the changes have been received by businesses and the broader developer community.  The […]

Now, onto the real question: what to eat? Partner isn’t home, so zero nutritional supplements have been consumed, and I have been lazy enough not to go out to fetch me something. So… hmm, yeah. Going to an eight years old niece birthday “roller scatting” party in an hour, maybe I get lucky with a slice of pizza, or two. 🤣

Aha! Cool! Not just deleting, but proceeding as if the twt is going to be send. If I :q! on vi it will add an empty line. If, instead, I go :x like I normally do, it works as you said—and as I wanted it. Thanks!

Is it me, or Gmail’s web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari—my default browser—often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren’t because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

Seems like you need to make your parser smarter. Go tinker! 😋

Now, if there is going to be some sort of price, which for me equals to profit, then I will twt non-stop until I hit it! 🤣

Having used—and still using—1Password (a password manager) for many years, I have gone through a few stages of disliking/frustration with it. The first was when subscriptions were set in place, the second is now, with their approach for auto-filling under iOS. It is, more often than I would like to, telling me to configure it when I did so from day one. My open support ticket isn’t going too far either.

I wish iCloud KeyChain would mimic some of its features, so I can just dump it. KeyChain has improved a lot, now allowing OTP to be saved with a credential, but it is still not quite there yet.

Apple’s event on Monday is bringing, as always, speculation to the table. One thing most outlets seem to agree is the introduction of an “M1X” chip, thought Apple might call it differently. M1X might also mean, M1(we don’t know what comes after, or next generation). Either way, I would really like to see the return of the 27” iMac, but I will not hold my breath. Nevertheless, Monday is going to be an exciting day for many, including me! 🍎

@adi@f.adi.onl Oh boy… we don’t want to go down that route. There is plenty to know about the Taliban, not just from the news but from people who lived—and still lives—under their “governance”; all of which is, I am afraid, much more accurate than your highschool girlfriend story telling.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hopefully this URL change fixes things. Otherwise I am lost; don’t know what’s going on. 😩

** How to install Uxn on macOS **
Uxn is an esoteric stack-machine with 32 bit instructions. It exists someplace at the intersection of a GameBoy, 6502 ASM, an Apple II, Forth, RetroForth, the z80, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and“what if Nausicaä from Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind used a computer?” It is tiny, unlike most anything else around these days, and, once you wrap your head around it, pretty fun.

I never seem to run out of projects to do. Some slosh around as mere ideas until I decide not to do them for whatever reason, but even so there’s enough to go around and then some.

thinking about a building something in the realm of !gesture that could work alongside !gest. The core principle of gest is line construction using breakpoints and an external clock. This new system, which I think I will call sloop, is more about making lines using slope. It would work by sending it messages: go from here, to there, in some amount of time, and use an external clock. If it reaches there, you have arrived. If a new message arrives before you get there, you are already here, now you have a new there. I think this approach would lend itself well to more open-ended kinds of gestures. #halfbakedideas

So tired today, despite going to bed early. Well, I guess it’s just one of those days. It’ll be alright.

When tragedy strikes unexpectedly we cannot just go on as if nothing happened. Our minds need to be given time to deal with the blow. So it is necessary to pause and allow ourselves to process and recover.

A beloved colleague passed away after a terrible car accident a couple of days ago. Thoughts go to her family and colleagues.

Entirely sensible, & no reason for file storage to match the wire format. I’m just really curious what’s going on on macOS! I can test on hfs+ later.

Yes, I can shoehorn interpreting extropianism into every poem by Schiller. This is going to be a regular thing.

if you’re weird, spending time around non-weird people is not going to make you more normal. but if you spend time with marginally less weird people, you’re probably going to become less weird.

Just over a week left to apply to Summer of Code. Plan 9 is in there, and ~200 other good orgs. Go apply and tell students you know. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

Sure. I think search, if it’s going to exist, should be the client’s responsibility. But I also value the readability of the raw twtxt file a lot more than y’all do.

The epistemic commons are worth protecting. Go and do your signalling with donations or fashion.

I’m unclear if I’m going to do the twtxt.net discovery protocol; neither my web server nor Plan 9’s default capture agent strings. :-/
