I love his art :)

It seems interesting! But like, it's $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

ed is the standard entertainer.

Is there something for lemmy what snac is to mastodon? Like, something with a small footprint that is easy to set up on a cheap vps?

Didn't they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it's wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube

To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

Yesterday I was looking at Donald Knuths Art of Computer Programming, and the book store had a "Often bought together with..." recommendation for a book about knitting inspired by the finnish national epos Kalevala.

I like to program in the evenings until I hit a problem I don't immediately know how to solve, then the problem is something I can think about while driving to work or taking a shower or falling asleep. There's no pressure, and sometimes this takes weeks, with some reading up on things and research here and there. And then suddenly, a plan starts to form for how to deal with the problem, and I can't wait to go home and implement the solution. The important part is that it feels good, to thoroughly understand the task and to write code that flows like a clear line of thought.

Now I want to know how different distros measure up in unix socks per 1000 users or something. I have a feeling that Debian has a higher total number, but NixOS a higher percentage, maybe?

How do you feel about other peoples Go code?

what does augmenting user retention mean in practice?

It's because LaTeX has abstracted away all the lovely plain TeX macros and people treat it as a way to not have to think about typography. This is a good explanation: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb14-2/tb39taylor-para.pdf

Is it bad that my first thought was Emil Cioran?

Yes! "Concepts weren't a thing." This is for me the impossible thing to describe. In retrospect, I'm glad I had that experience, but I also say never again.

The caring you describe is part of the helping.

I had a similar experience on ketamine, and it's been so frustrating, because I want to explain but no words can explain it. I can't even say it was an experience I had because there was no concept of "I". It wasn't the case that I was "one with everything", because there was no I. I've been looking for the right words to describe what it was like, but it's just not possible to describe with words and concepts.

Isn't a shopping list more like a data structure? A recipe would be an algorithm. I don't know, I could be wrong.

Distance between pole and equator is... 10 km?
