Its pretty cool he mentioned the work of doug engelbert. I recently finished a book called 'what the dormouse said: how the 60s counterculture shaped the personal computer.' Kay's comment makes me feel that was not just a bit of trivia, but a glimpse into the potential of computing that is tsill yet to be realized.

I just want you to know you weren't screaming into the void. Look at my new main.py:


from pathlib import PurePath


from Layout import Layout


DEFAULT_FOLDER = PurePath("/home", "mike", "bg")
WATERMARK_DIR = Path(Path(os.getcwd()).parent, "assets", "img")


def main() -> Layout:
    return Layout()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

(I know I still need to change those folder defaults, but I am still riding the high of getting all that layout stuff into Layout.py and it working. I spent a couple hours today struggling, wondering why I was just getting a blank screen, when i realized i forgot to call .grid() on the frame that held all the widgets! So it was just rendering a blank window. )

Plus crypto is volatile and you'd have to manage it a lot more to keep it pegged at "expensive enough"

this is a solved problem. Just change the crypto cost according to its exchange value. I pay for my vpn and my vps with crypto.

I think it's safe to say guns are an offensive weapon

That really pisses me off.

I thought id give flatpak firefox a shot and the profiles are broken. I might be able to fix it by making some symlinks but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I was unable to get it to recognize my userChrome.css

Can you elaborate because this is not obvious to me. Maybe we sre thinking different things when we talk about "openness" in this context.

Thank you SO MUCH. This is exactly the kind of response i wanted, and also thought it would be naive to hope for. Seriously, you'rr awesome.

And i really appreciate how you even looked for something nice to say too. :)

I have perused it, but its both so dense and so broad that its not that helpful unless i know exactly what I'm looking for. I have also tried info and tldr. I actually like tldr the most,. although the exhaustiveness of the man pages must be admired. I dont find it to be the best teacher.

What are some goos resources for learning jq? I really struggle when it comes to nested keys/values which obviously limits my ability to use it.

IPv4 should be deprecated, but it's not

Im biased here, ive been learning python for almost 16 months and only dabbled in Javascript and never did any Ruby, but for a first language, i think python is fantastic. Its "easy" enough to keep you feeling like your skill is actually improving, while still being able to do pretty much anything (where performance is not a high priority). I also just think javascript is ugly to look at.
