Interesting. In the ferry cabin's en suite bathroom there is a speaker for the PA system.
The speaker is located somewhere near, and below the toilet.
Have you any idea how creepy it is when a PA announcement starts below your arse while sat on the loo?
Going around the house collecting translations of a phrase to test my multilingual text handling
salty, programming, JS, "you"
And no I don't care if you think it is "moving the ecosystem forward", the material reality is that you are sabotaging people's ability to rely on the tools they are using, and you are a giant asshole for it.
If you think that "moving the ecosystem forward" is done by deliberately breaking people's shit without technical necessity, then your visions of the future are garbage accelerationist bullshit
salty, programming, JS
There's a special place in hell for people who use a transpiler to JS from another language and *intentionally disable* the CommonJS support to force ESM usage, frankly
Language handling with half-assed libraries

taking HRT is a lot like being a victorian mad scientist
“two years past, i began a series of forbidden experiments. forced to work in secret, i was left with myself as the only suitable test subject.
“my experiments were highly successful. i have been invigorated beyond my wildest dreams, my faculties are increased, i have gained youth and beauty untold.
“the experiments, however, came at a cost. once a week, i must inject myself with the serum, or i begin a transformation most monstrous…”

Calling it "adulting" makes a lot of sense because "adult" is a culturally constructed role. When you are "adulting" you are often performing tasks to satisfy society, not yourself. You are doing tasks that have been obligated to complete simply by virtue of being an "adult".

I like the term "adulting" because it implies that you are doing an activity that isn't the default state of a human

Welcome to my new search engine All The Words You Searched For which either returns results that contain all the words you searched for or says that there are no results that contain all the words you searched for.
Current status: trying to work out how to do stemming in different languages reliably despite the frankly shit language coverage in many relevant libraries

"If you block me it means you think I'm right" actually it means you're annoying and I wasn't enjoying our interaction. Life is too short to use my energy on strangers who suck.
I have extended my tech corp detection to corps in general by also detecting a "Careers" button

This week I finally finished a project I've been working on for the last few weeks: A map, laser-engraved into a ca. 60x70 cm piece of plywood, showing the @spaceapi opening states of hackerspaces in central Europe using red/green LEDs. All of that in a nice wooden frame, now on the wall at @CCCBasel.
Details on the project can be found in our Wiki (in German): https://wiki.ccc-basel.ch/index.php/SpaceAPI-Karte
or in the git repository (in English): https://git.kabelsalat.ch/s3lph/spaceapi-led-map/
Not happy about the CPU time yet; it's currently clocking somewhere between 15 and 50 milliseconds of CPU time per request, which really isn't acceptable, so that needs much more optimization I think. Profiler time, I guess?
lmfao, I've implemented a feature that ignores tech company sites effectively by looking for any occurrence of the text 'Pricing' as the sole content of a HTML element

dependencies, hot take, potentially confrontational but honest
Avoiding dependencies as a matter of course suggests that you believe yourself to be the most qualified expert in every possible aspect of your project, not just the core idea, and makes me trust your judgment of ability a lot less because basically nobody is

“You’re so lucky! I wish I could lay around all day.”
No. You don’t. The reason you think laying in bed all day sounds “fun” is because for you it’s a CHOICE.
It’s not fun when you can’t leave your bed. When you’re so sick you can’t watch tv, listen to music or talk to others.
Also don’t get me started on the hypocrisy of non disabled people acting like we’re “lucky” to be housebound/bedbound or that disability is some vacation - when they wailed and screamed about temporary stay at home orders.
When staying home was suddenly NOT a choice - it was the worst thing to ever happen to them and a violation of their freedom.
I can’t get out of bed - but I’m “lucky”. Ok then.
