I've mostly resisted the urge to use a dotfile manager so far, but I'm starting to feel like it's time. I was excited when I ran across this one and noticed it was written in Python and had Git-like semantics.

Will play with it this weekend and report back.

You should make a post about NestedText. That looks interesting and pretty close to my own internal note-taking style.

Unlike today's ⚾🥒 #475, Immaculate Grid worked correctly and was surprisingly easy.

⚾🥒 is very broken today.

The above is just wrong.

• First it has 8 columns in the graph, when there are only 7 in the game (the very first column seems to be the imaginary one).
• Second, I got the division by the third guess, but guessed players on all 5 teams (guesses 3-7) in the division and none came back as correct for the team column.
• Last, the correct player is not even available when you type his name in.

Gotcha. That's a fun alternative to the usual kind of course work.

Thanks for contributing to the community! Look forward to hearing more from you as you continue.

Curious, what kind of playlists are you creating?

I have to admit I feel like I'm not imaginitive enough to need to script Spotify.

Rubber ducking is the best. Appreciate that, hopefully it helps start a trend.

But not really, because I cheated on the Dodgers/Brewers. So, really 8/9. :(

This one messed with me. MLB Pickle #474 - 5/9

Hey, sorry we missed helping out!

Did you get everything sorted? Mind adding a "[Solved]" to the beginning of your post title if so?

Got a couple of unconventional choices in there, but it worked!

Wow that took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit.

Old?!?! I'll have you know I just did some maintenance work on an ASP.NET 4.0 app a couple weeks ago. ☹️

Wow, nice. Thank you!

Gotcha, that stinks.

I've been meaning to say something about helping. I'd be happy to help mod !chicubs@fanaticus.social and !fantasy_baseball@fanaticus.social .

I was watching today's game day thread in !chicubs@fanaticus.social . A couple of things I noticed:

• Separate scoring summary and highlights takes up a lot of space in the past body. It takes quite a while to scroll through. Perhaps they could be combined?
• Having scoring plays as top-level comments was kind of cool and not something I've seen before. I can imagine those sparking mini conversations as threads. But, they get a bit redundant with the scoring summary in the body.

Those are just my impressions and, to be honest, I kind of avoided game day threads on Reddit. They could just get ... tedious, I guess?

Can we pin comments within a post? Is the character limit also 10k in comments?

Perhaps pinned top level comments for highlights?
