Morning 😉

pez06:10:28

Good morning! Feeling a bit dirty atm, because scripting in zsh. 😃

reefersleep06:10:05

Every time I dabble with bash scripting, I’m confounded by stuff, like the hoops you seem to have to jump through to do equality comparison

reefersleep06:10:20

Feel spoiled by Clojure 🙂

pez06:10:23

I’m spoiled by babashka. 😀

ordnungswidrig08:10:41

zsh scripting is a close to programming perl as I get normally

ordnungswidrig08:10:06

(I did a lot of perl in the past, way in the past, like last millenium past 🙈 )

pez08:10:09

Same here. Well, not a lot, but I’ve done my share. I quite liked it.

David Vujic07:10:51

Morning! :rain_cloud:

otfrom08:10:00

😎 today in Tayside

otfrom08:10:20

@jasonbell obviously it is raining in Fife

jasonbell09:10:52

Ah but without the rain we wouldn’t have nice potatoes for the Fish and Chips.

paulspencerwilliams09:10:39

I’ve got Fish and Chips for dinner tonight. I’m already excited.

otfrom09:10:49

Chippie Tea

jasonbell09:10:13

Fish and chips tomorrow evening for me.

paulspencerwilliams09:10:21

The last leg of our Wednesday evening walk goes right past our chippie,. After a five mile walk, there’s no way I’d be able to refuse that chippie smell!

jasonbell09:10:18

I go the other way round, food first and then walk. If there’s a ton of curry sauce down my front then I’ll abandon the walk 🙂

paulspencerwilliams09:10:47

LOL. One of my saddest memories was that of my disappointment as I started a Peak District walk a few years ago. I spent all my change on a chicken curry pastie, then walked about 500 yards down a footpath before dropping it in a muddy puddle. I nearly cried.

javahippie09:10:34

Happened to me when I was 5 years old. At the butcher shop, kids always got a free piece of bologna sausage. Went outside, dropped it, it rolled onto the street and was overrun by a police car. I cried

javahippie09:10:59

(This caused no long-term prejudice against police)

paulspencerwilliams10:10:58

Defund the police - then they can’t afford sausage damaging cars 😂

javahippie10:10:06

Strongest case for hovercars, yet

ordnungswidrig13:10:03

TIL "bologna sausage" I wonder if that was actually a Mortadella, Lyoner or Gelbwurst.

javahippie13:10:45

tbh had to look up how to translate “Fleischwurst” in the first place

ordnungswidrig13:10:04

TIL "WWW" means "Weck, Worscht un Woi". Thank you wikipedia.

javahippie13:10:53

As a fomer Mainzer, I can confirm

jasonbell09:10:17

I’m sorry for your loss @paulspencerwilliams

paulspencerwilliams09:10:20

Lesson learnt : never walk and eat anything I’d not be willing to lose 😆

pez14:10:49

Well, my day started with a good morning, but from there it has been my least productive open source day ever. Needed to make a new feature Windows compatible and of course I then remote desktop into my Windows machine and just fix it, right? Well, wrong. My whole Windows dev workflow was just broken for no reason that I could find. All day, just trying to figure it out. Now, all of a sudden, it started working again. I have as little clue why as with why it stopped working. This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t that the thing has kept me mostly in Windows all day and that kills my spirit like few other things do. Anyway, let’s see if I can get the original issue fixed before my Calva day is over.

Leaving aside quantum technology, the best random number generators work by running deterministic programs on Windows

thomas14:10:47

Before you start, check the phase of the moon as well.

RAMart14:10:55

Feel hugged! :hugging_face:

pez14:10:35

And the actual issue seems to be a quantum spin thing too. There’s no issue now when I have the tools to fix it.

pez16:10:29

And I could now release the new Calva and quite the Remote Desktop app. The latter felt best. 😃

otfrom15:10:02

easy to miss the \,

slipset19:10:16

Oh, guess what I managed the other day? I managed to convince MacOS to stop hi-jacking C-M-d which is paredit-forward-down . So now I can use that short cut. Yay

mccraigmccraig10:10:32

huh, macos doesn't seem to be hijacking that for me...

slipset10:10:36

The chord I use for this is Control-Command-D (I’ve somewhere perhaps in my emacs config mapped Command to be Meta

mccraigmccraig10:10:36

ah, that explains it - i have Option as Meta

slipset10:10:06

I could never survive having to move my thumb that much on a regular basis 🙂

mccraigmccraig10:10:11

i've been doing it for several decades - no RSI or sudden death yet 🤞

slipset10:10:30

Right. Even though I’ve been on macs for quite some time now, I must have spent 20 years or so on unix and linux, so moving meta one key to the left was never really an option .

😂 1
mccraigmccraig11:10:51

but yeah, i have thought command might be nicer... but i'm scared to fiddle with the towering house of cards that is my macos keybindings

otfrom19:10:33

that is :female_mage:

otfrom19:10:43

good for October Spoopy Season
