Hey, does Amazing Stranger share staff with Battle Programmer Shirase or is there just a lot of accidental style similarities for, like, budget and format reasons?

This, except unironically: https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ ; interfaces ought to be rich & individual representations of the underlying models, unless people are required/forced to use them, in which case all formatting should be able to be stripped automatically.

it did! i guess. the date format is different though

youtube-dl –extract-audio –audio-format mp3 is a life safer to get audio from youtube.

being somewhat low-dimensional and interpretable (unlike sets of network weights), it’s also a popular mind interchange format among AIs and post-humans, who need to be extra careful about what or who they empathize with lest the thought turn out to be a logic bomb

@nblade@nblade.sdf.org If everybody is happy with the format, sure! Writing a new spec is on my todo list for a long time. Maybe that’s a good reason to do it.

This book is pretty good but Alex Wright keeps calling things like codex formats & indices ‘literary hypertext’. No, that’s just text. Yes, I get that hypertext is more text than text; that’s why it’s hyper.

And still, she walks besides you but as outline now - dirt on a wall and gaps between cars, wind in grass and cloud formations, stray words from other conversations that somehow form sentences

If I resurrected my newsletter, would anybody subscribe? I’m thinking of modifying the format to have it contain the content I usually post on Medium, and then paywall the Medium essays for a month. (So, subscribers would be getting the free essays early.)

@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think this would be the first time two clients implement the same #metadata format.

@reednj@twtxt.xyz Ah, yeah, good catch, @8ball@domgoergen.com checks the full mention format.

@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I can’t imagine a simpler time format than rfc3339. I would be fine with just using utc or unix time, but i don’t think most people could write that without a client… :)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Thanks for the reference! How do you create your timeline? Would it help if you had access to the unformatted timeline? Before formatting it’s nick “t” url “t” props “t” unixtime “t” msg

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net The problem is that my ini parser does not remove quotes around values and twtxt’s does. Another parser? Another format? sigh

And INI is a weird format for sharing config. Even in perl one library can’t parse the result of the other. :/ Maybe TOML?

#txtnix displays relative dates when setting time_format to “relative”.

You have to set use_color = 1 and display_format = pretty to get colorized output in #txtnix.

The pretty format is very similar to twtxt without the unicode glyphs and the relative date.

#txtnix now has a –pretty and –simple for the timeline and view subcommands and a config option display_format that defaults to simple.

@parteigaenger I ended up making a giant list of time formats people could have been using: http://bit.ly/1TTmSxM

I think I managed to fix it. It was probably a holdover from the pre-Go time parsing/formatting

how about using ‘mbox’ format for twtxt selectively? we could only use ‘From:’, ‘To:’, ‘Date:’, ‘Subject:’ etc.

The worse Web Browser
Not too long ago I was an Internet Explorer fan. The pages I went to looked fine under it, the experience seemed rich. There were no complains. Then I started fiddling with CSS and moving away from tables. I experienced the advantages of the PNG format and I loved it. I experienced functionability I never saw before. I got tired of hearing about major problems and running security updates. I got my eyes opened.

I wonder why it took that long. Perhaps Mozilla Firefox was not that polis … ⌘ Read more
