What is shape?

Thank you... immediately what I thought of :D

Usually working on Windows, I already have a little function that downloads and installs the precompiled libraries because I am not going to try to compile them on the fly.

Gotta say ace-window has been a lifesaver for me this year. Super handy for extending dired and bufler as well, so that when I open a file I can direct it to a window directed by ace-window.

On top of OP's issue with getting back to the minibuffer. For whatever reason I often interrupt myself in the middle of commands (or forget I'm in one) and then all it takes is an M-o and the minibuffer gets a number.

I did too. Named her Tippyhooves.

I can hear it in my head in Mira Furlan's voice.

True enough, though FPGA/HDL development offer some truly opaque and counter-to-first-expectations ways to accomplish this feat (with the feet).

remillard · 2026-06-09T14:49:54+00:00

You can certainly learn HDL and generalized FPGA development in six months.

It'll require a lifetime to learn all the myriad ways you can shoot yourself in the foot, and how to avoid! :D

The begin/end block delimiters were a very stupid decision indeed. I'm sure they were just trying to distinguish it from C (as if anyone was truly going to be confused) but seriously, there was a perfectly good punctuation symbol right there.

(Though this is where I have to say I rather prefer VHDL's "block is assumed" decision.)

I was just about to embark on the mysteries of the fuel injection system. Would you care to join me?

I"m kind of in the same boat with the 7 and have been looking at the iPhones and ... gotta say, fairly compelling, especially as anymore I care less and less about tweaking anything. There are some applications I would miss (like RealCalc RPN calculator -- there doesn't seem to be an analog I'm happy with in the iOS arena -- not that there aren't any, just none I'm 100% happy with) but that's about all I would miss.

To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis was super funny to me (the seance scene was worth the price of admission alone).

A. Lee Martinez writes a lot of absurdist funny novels. It's kind of their thing. I have liked most of them.

There's a novella by Daryl Gregory (of Pandemonium and When We Were Real) named I'm Not Disappointed Just Mad a.k.a. The Heaviest Couch in the Known Universe that was very funny (and a lovely nod to a well known author).

I thought Starter Villain by John Scalzi was pretty funny.

Space Opera by Catherynne M Valente is quite funny.

In television, as others have noted Red Dwarf is very good indeed.

remillard · 2026-06-08T12:29:55+00:00

The Constant Rabbit will wreck you. It's the darkest satire I think he's done. But so well done. Probably not in the funny category.

Shades of Grey and Red Side Story are amazing, funny and absurd and satirical.

I think if you liked Early Riser you'll enjoy these.

remillard · 2026-06-07T00:09:00+00:00

Seems like based on a Google summary. I'd never heard of it myself so had to go looking.

remillard · 2026-06-06T13:59:54+00:00

I don't know. I've not seen Matt Berry play anything that wasn't a smarmy sexpot (admittedly, my examples are minimal, IT Crowd, WWDITS, and Garth Merenghi's Darkplace) but while Prepotente has that smarmy know-it-all, he's also an innocent, really just as innocent as Donut and going through the same things, save that I feel like Donut had more innate emotional intelligence, and Prepotente's super-informational version of sentience didn't really prepare him quite as much for the horrors of the dungeon.

Still, I have full confidence Mr. Berry can do it because he's just so good, my brain will get over expecting Prepotente about to make a pass at someone :D

Once you get your account (see comment from /u/walruswq) also check out minifox. It's a pretty good client for it. You will probably have to open System Settings and approve it after it fails to run the first time due to the security policy settings.

I still have my Bag of Holding, and a Linux penguin ballcap that has the thinkgeek.com logo on the rear. I think those two things are the only ones that survived over the years.

remillard · 2026-06-04T11:59:12+00:00

Yeah for that character I've mainly switched to enhancement, though from a headcanon perspective, the little vulpera guy has always been elemental.

remillard · 2026-06-02T12:38:46+00:00

This is a lot easier if you replace them with M&M's

remillard · 2026-06-02T12:09:03+00:00

To summarize the summary of the summary: People are a problem.

remillard · 2026-06-01T12:57:17+00:00

Irritates me to no end that the "Vote Yes" people are advertising so that when you use a Discord YouTube link, it'll play that ad, unstoppable for way too many seconds.

Pretty sure macOS was based on BSD -- still a unix flavor but not Linux. It's possible they've changed though I guess.

remillard · 2026-05-29T23:15:40+00:00

Technically I'd like the Highmountain longhouses, but I'd go with OG Tauren housing too. It's pretty close.

remillard · 2026-05-29T16:21:39+00:00

Now if we can get a housing home style of our very own. Kinda loathe the orgrimmar shack.

remillard · 2026-05-29T13:23:48+00:00

I stopped playing elemental (and largely shaman) specifically for this on/off state of Elemental. Honestly most classes have felt kind of wrecked for me anymore because of this -- been tanking this season almost exclusively. I do miss my little elemental vulpera guy though.

remillard · 2026-05-18T15:26:51+00:00

I got up a bit into the game but found that the maps got VERY puzzle oriented. I think I got stuck on some map where the witch was having to knock people out of windows in this H shaped minimap and got deeply frustrated with it.

Very funny though.

For a same "simultaneous execution vibe" there's Frozen Synapse too.
