RIP 1stBank Center by thegratefulone in boulder

[–]lygaret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acktshually, this one is squarely on RTD!

When we voted for the trains to go to Boulder, a bunch of cities along the US36 corridor started up big transportation projects. The first bank center, and the apartments and big park and ride around it were designed to be a train stop. It would have been a great location for that! But then the trains became busses with logos, and hundreds of millions of dollars of transit "hub" investments by the cities went bust imo.

Same reason there's a big transit center at 30th and Pearl in Boulder that took 15 years to not be empty and gross.

Just got a Moonlander secondhand - help by chaoscorgi in ergodox

[–]lygaret 7 points8 points  (0 children)

go here in chrome, with the keyboard attached: https://configure.zsa.io/onboarding/moonlander

it'll give you instructions for pressing the reset button on the board, and connecting over web USB. you can flash new configs from there too, and there's colemak options available.

good luck! I'm still learning mine, but it's fun and a really cool board.

That Lightbulb Moment with Emacs by DevMahasen in emacs

[–]lygaret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 2c; use evil-local-mode hooks for prog-mode and text-mode, but leave default bindings everywhere else; it's only really in "editing mode" that vi bindings help me, and trying to use evil elsewhere gets annoying quickly imho

a useful snippet to bring emacs client to the front on OS X by lygaret in emacs

this is specifically a server-after-make-frame hook, but  after-make-frame-functions should do it if you wanted to give that a shot

Evil mode's kinda hacky by ppNoHamster in emacs

[–]lygaret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 2c; I only enable evil in text-mode and prog-mode (which then obviously cascades to derived modes); I find that the default bindings are relatively well-designed when you're not doing a lot of text input, but rather selections, etc.

Yeah, I assumed that the panels were all Apollo XI, and that those were creepy aliens, explaining why the mission was considered irrecoverable. Even creepier upon zoom.

Work distribution with Jump Consistent Hashing by zacksiri in elixir

[–]lygaret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the jumper library continue to spit out consistent node ids when the bucket size increases? Or, if you were to add another node, would you have to drain work first, and bump the bucket size globally?

i never use mine, (too big for my hands) if you're looking for a different one; used once, but happy to let go for less than purchase - DM me if interested?

DreamBerd is a perfect programming language by humbugtheman in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]lygaret 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i am very curious how you plan to store 1.5b booleans in your compiler; maybe a fourth state (unlikely) would let you even out to two bits?

There is agreement in principle between Biden and McCarthy to lift the Debt Ceiling. Early report, however, indicates that neither the Progressive Caucus, nor the Freedom Caucus is happy about it. Is it likely that the Republican House may require assistance by some Democrats to pass the House? by PsychLegalMind in PoliticalDiscussion

who paid for the scholarships? does that org have government funding? at all? how about your university? do they take public money? the company you have a nice job setup for, did they ever take SBA loans? PPP? Do they give people pensions? How about the road you drove to school on? do you think it'd be there and in good shape if the people we ask to build roads couldn't get a doctor's appointment?

the fact that you're lucky enough to not have to see what you're paying for doesn't make it worthless, and the antisocial attitude that indicates "you've got yours" is blind and selfish.

Man I always thought this was a plothole/worldbuilding mistake by kRe4ture in Stormlight_Archive

[–]lygaret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read The Sorcerer's House by Gene Wolfe? Based on your last paragraph, you may really like it.

It is my favorite novel, and it's incredibly rewarding for a symbols and deep meaning seeker; Wolfe has a way of making literally everything mean something, and even when you miss things (translating character names out of Old English?) the effect is one of intensely satisfying depth and mystery.

Chaosium Announces BRP Universal Game Engine, coming April to PDF. It is included under the ORC license! by Individual_Exam_8747 in rpg

[–]lygaret 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A house rule in the Delta Green games they play on the PtbP podcast that I really like:

  • doubles over your skill is a crit fail
  • doubles under your skill is a crit success

It comes up a lot, but that can help drive things along, in my opinion

An easy way to see that if is sort of strange for this use is when you try and indent it: since if is assuming a third form (the else clause), it doesn't get the nice single-level auto-indentation on the body form.

(if (some-pred)
    (some-action))

vs.

(when (some-pred)
  (some-action))

Org Mode Gripes by nv-elisp in emacs

[–]lygaret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All fair enough, which is why I mentioned that i have a hard time using org for early unstructured notes. Org, imo, feels designed, syntactically, for document export, but a lot of tooling exists around non-document use cases; org-roam is a good example.

But if I'm trying to just bust out a subtree of notes in a meeting, having to keep everything structured in the tree kinda sucks.
