  • What a weird rule, do you know why it exists ?

    Accessibility. A blind person (or someone who just can’t see that well, or who wants to read it at a different font and sizing level) has the opportunity to read this in text form with a screen reader or with adjusted view settings. But those don’t work with images (screen readers may if the image has alt text).

    Ease of search. If someone wanted to find this post down the line, they are not able to search the actual text of the post because it’s an image.

    Quality. In all honesty, what is gained by this post being an image instead of text? What is the visual element adding that couldn’t be accomplished with italics and bolding?

    What should i have done to post this information then ?

    Copy it and treat it as a quote in your written post (same place you put your source). You can add formatting to it if you want to emphasize parts.



  • Oh hey, fellow org user!

    I’m in the same boat. I don’t do calendaring that much, but agenda is what I use when I’m time blocking tasks.

    My main complaint is that I can’t get it to sync to my Google calendar. I have tried org-gcal but the gpg encryption never works for me so I just gave up. I would have liked it to have easier viewing on mobile, but that’s minor enough that I don’t care. Orgzly with notifications on lets me know when its time to do something anyway.



  • The rust compiler holds your hand, wraps you in blankets, makes you hot chocolate, kisses you on the forehead before it gently and politely points out what you did wrong and how you can solve it step-by-step. It would never think of something as heinous as swearing at you, shame on you for insulting my wife’s honour like this.



  • My conspiracy theory is that the writers had an idea for their own show, but execs made them slap on the Foundation label for notoriety. Because the parts that aren’t in the books, like the Genetic Dynasty, are great – probably the best parts. It feels like that was the actual story here, then everything else had to be put in after the fact to justify the universe they put it in.

    I stopped watching after season 1 because the “special powers held by individuals” angle felt like a slap in the face to the theme of the books. Apparently season 2 is better but I’m still a lil bitter so I don’t think I can do it lol

    I agree with the sentiment of this post, but these numbers are silly.

    $150m would barely build a bus fleet transit system, nevermind the maintenance, operating, and personnel costs for the fleet (and completely forget about actual long term transit solutions like rail at that cost figure).

    And $1b stadiums are outliers – our city got into controversy over our stadium which costed around $250m. Not many municipalities are loaded enough to be getting into billion dollar capital expenditure decisions.




  • I might be already exposing myself as an emacs user, but I think Lisp naming convention is pretty reasonable. I use it in other languages as far as their language rules allow me

    • if a variable or function is a predicate (as in if it tests if something is true or not), append p or _p/-p

    • variables and functions both have lisp case variable-name-here. Sub for _ in languages that dont allow - in names

    • unused or unexposed variables are prefixed _ .

    • top level packages get naming rights. So if I’m making cool-package then variables or functions that are specific to it are cool-package-variable (especially if it is exposed to other packages). cool-package/variable is also good if allowed.

    • otherwise, separate namespaces with /. So there’s main-function and my/main-function. If / is reserved, then I assume the language has a way of segmenting namespaces already and just default to that since _ or - would get ambiguous here.
