@fesshole Sánchez please invade, we've had enough of these people too you will be welcomed as liberator
Okay, we had a short downtime to push out a patch to the site. Polished up some things, mostly focusing on bundle interaction and QoL. Expanding the comment system.

I hadn't really put the thoughts together just so in my head before, but things like gemini and the smol web are kind of like the polar opposite development direction from big-tech generative AI.
I haven't had the mental bandwidth to poke around on gemini yet. but it's on the list. (I'm old enough that I used gopher for real, like before html supplanted it.)
Something that occurs to me as I'm designing USB audio & video I/O for my hypothetical string-centric computer:
What if we treated SRTP (video conferencing) streams like how I suggested handling secondary displays?
That'd give us screen sharing, slideshows, & more! Whilst merging codepaths.
As long as we ensure there's a way to request a broader range of video formats from the programs supplying it...

This weekend I got the transmit side of my all analog SSB homebrew rig for 20m working! I took a little time this evening to tune up the audio. Now sounds good, I think! The crystal filter is 2.2 kHz wide so on the narrow side. Kind of can’t believe it’s finally working. This is milliwatts level power. Next: QRP power amplifier. #HamRadio #AmateurRadio
@relistan congrats dude that’s wild! I’ll be watching your video here in a minute

The situation from this generation of postdocs in academia, or most of them that I know, is none of us wants to be a prof really, but one of us has to do it, and when they do, they have to hire the rest of us. We might have to draw straws
Who the FUCK do you people think you're kidding? It ain't me.
The Democratic Party platform in 2024 was:
Fund the police, anti-genocide protestors are antisemitic terrorists who might be working for Russia, big lethal military or go home, and we can hunt down migrant families even BETTER than Trump can so that's why you should vote for us.
Fuck right off mate. Sincerely fuck right off.
No better time for your AC to crap out than the first heat wave of the season
@jaytennier Yea. It's hot out there!

@dcrooks Oh lovely. I would love one. But! I have my 2, and had it out to do some writing in the bright sun this morning :)

There is also the other question of — would the resume / CV be JSON-LD.
On one hand, if it was in JSON-LD, it would make it machine-legible similar to ActivityPub.
On the other hand, I don't think anyone is going to write JSON-LD (especially HTML embedded in a JSON string value) by hand. But, I do think some people will want to write their resume by hand.
It feels like user-experience is fighting with JSON-LD based machine-legibility.
@aschmitz My goal is to be able to say "line up the ', 's".
... I guess "write the ' ' as ' <tab>' and treat that as a tab-stop" isn't enough to that.
... although if we say "the first space in particular must be aligned" and "only tabs are extendable" and... include line-initial tabs in that? Then I think?
```
id = [1, <tab>0,
<tab>0, <tab>1]
<^first tab expands until the ' 's line up, implicitly the ', 's li e up as well>
........<^last tabs of line expand to the same width, whatever that is>
```
@aschmitz ...
I think I'm way overcomplicating.
1. All multiple spacing-characters sequences are expandable past their baseline, as well as line-initial tabs. (A lone space is not expandable.) (EDIT: Maybe just, "we are fine expanding line-initial single spaces" making it technically just "newlines count here".)
2. The character-division at the start of all non-initial sequences of multiple spaces are used as tab-stops, and matched by number.
2(variant). If we're being conservative, settings-wise, at least one visible character before or after the sequence must match for tabstops to match. (There might need to be an Algorithm here to match them up best.)
3. Tabs-stops are associated, and space filled in to the last expandable space-chunk before each one until it lines up.
I think this works regardless of tabs-vs-spaces, and regardless of proportional fonts.
In the Fiat with the AC on high. It's 87° in the cabin, and unbearable.
@TheEddieShow No A/C? Ugh! Sorry to hear that.
There's a non zero effort to configuring your machine to do python development if you are making a contribution to a product.
If you are a python dev who uses linux as your development operating system - what are libraries that you have found useful to install ?
I'm writing some documentation about it and will reference your contributions.
Thanks
That's terrifying.
