Not the Bs!

But when the primer comes, we see all the lines we missed. Stay in sandland just a bit longer.

Also, a pox on people that make models with lines going through fingers, rope, and hair.

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He’s doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.

The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I’m extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

You want an award? I hate working with JSON without a prettier.

Corporations are more powerful than they’ve ever been and fewer people have the option to contribute to FOSS. FOSS has also been coopted by corporations (see elastic search, redis, or any crippled product whose FOSS version doesn’t do shit and is just used to market to people who think it’s important). I don’t think FOSS has outlived its usefulness, it’s just very difficult to drum up the amount of work it takes to support it on a worldwide scale, but forcing financial support with the contracts mentioned in the article is just a way for corporations to have even more say in how FOSS is developed (or not developed). He mentions several examples of corporations screwing over the FOSS community and he wants more of their influence? It doesn’t seem like a great idea to me even if it seems convenient short term.

Really been enjoying Dark Winds.

Didn’t hit the suddenly stopped box truck on the highway. The giant pickup truck behind me did not hit me. Leaving enough space in front of me was skill, that the person behind me did as well was the luck.

A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.

So it’s easy to enforce locally but you don’t have to. And it’s easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what’s going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it’s bad? Like there are legit reasons it’s bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.

YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces

I think that’s a user thing and it doesn’t happen if you have a linter enforce 2 or 4.

I play boardgames where there are enough moving parts that replacing some with software improves them tremendously. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven have a bunch of tools for them to help setup, combat, track campaigns, etc., and they help tremendously.

There is nothing like that for Shadows of Brimstone. For a lot of things, there’s just too much data. I tried to make a script that automated the travel phase after missions which was pick the size of town, determine the number of hazards based on the number of characters and size of town, pick out the hazards, and display each in turn. The amount of text in it was just too much to be worth it. But even being able to replace the scavenge deck, loot deck, and exploration tokens would free up some table space and they’re less than a dozen possible outcomes each with only a small amount of text.

I’m sure there are other popular games that would be more conducive to having complexity automated. Finding one that won’t send a cease and desist might be a challenge, though.

Heading to a burlesque festival! Looking forward to it. And when I get back, painting miniatures with friends.

Respect boundaries. Even more so if you’re not a professional in how you want to help them, e.g. psychology, as you may do more harm than good.

Oh, yeah, looked at comment history and it’s mostly going into threads and being miserable. I’ve got some empathy and sympathy for them, but also don’t need it in my life.

See a professional about that. I recently fixed my anhedonia and things are better. Things can be better than they are for you, too.

Long form gaming videos like 8 hour review of Morrowind, 12 hour review of Oblivion, or 20 hour review of Skyrim.

But I just moved to opensearch.

I don’t really talk about it in meat space, so they just might not have known.

Am I in the wild? I use it.
