lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels
You’re right, I think my brain fell out a bit when I said that lol.
I’ve just started The Dispossessed.
imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!
I’d think in such a world, it would very quickly become the dominant operating system.
It’s pretty shit. The constantly shifting priorities means we’re in an endless loop of making no progress on the main project, which is just a business management app.
I finished The Left Hand of Darkness this week. I can only imagine how rock solid Linux would be in a world like that, where nearly 100 planets could cooperate on it instantaneously.
I’m making a push to hoard my books a little more organized. With the space I have on my e-reader, I could easily have thousands of books.
And I intend to take advantage of that. And I think I might keep a local git repo just for the sake of making sure regex formatting changes don’t fuck things up.
A plane that caught the wire was pulled down onto the flexible carpet and slowed to a halt with a runout of only a few feet. A crane then lifted the aircraft onto a trolley; the trolley was winched forward for lowering to the hangar deck by elevator or to the catapult for launching.
Sounds like a pain in the ass

It’s software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let’s you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.
I’ve got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it’s all kept on sync very well.
I have one morbid report titled “money pissed down the landlord drain”, and it’s far higher than I’d like to be. But it’s got close to every penny I’ve ever spent on that bullshit in one place.
That just means they become 100% efficient in winter!
Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.
Becoming a lobbyist doesn’t sound like leaving politics.
The actual dialogue is good, I agree. But even the best talented actors in the world can’t undo the mixing of a space ship transmitting sound as if there is air while going faster than light.
Right now TNG. I’m re-watching it with my fiancé. The sound of the ship whooshing past is deafening.
It’s been a minute since I’ve seen the rest of the shows. So I don’t remember how good their mixing is.
For me Star Trek is one of the worst offenders of this.
I’ve had everything on this list with Visual Studio alone, with the exception of #2 maybe.
All the AI shit they’re adding, plus the millions of windows you can pull up that are all hidden in different places. The only way this is remotely usable is with the search.
This happens every other day when working with Blazor. As an added bonus, it can never decide on spacing and will constantly change it.
Probably a symptom of using legacy code and modern code at the same time, but good god the settings for everything are in a million places.
Another symptom of blazor.
Our project is too big.
Agreed
It’s a better place in most respects.
It’s a bit of both. I’ll try to help him if he asks for help if/when the AI leads him down the wrong path, but who knows how deep in the tangled weeds of spaghetti he’ll be in by then.
I don’t think he’s gonna need much math. He will need complicated editor things set up though, and I’m doubtful that the AI will understand much.
Not exactly pure blogs, but random web 1.0 sites. There’s some real gems in there.
I have a friend who is trying to vibe code a unity project. I don’t have high hopes for him, but I’m doing my best to support him and help him out.
