@jes5199 I think it’s excellent experimental work, and I hope it inspires more work in this direction, and the way it’s being presented (not necessarily by its creators) is completely unrealistic.

I think this phrase is, situationally, sometimes more true than false. But if you hear someone say it, odds are really good they want to measure instead of managing. indieweb.social/@dandean/11178

@nelson (Also I had to reconstruct some old stuff and that messed up UUIDs and timestamps, so … there’s a reason it’s in beta.)

@nelson Well, I think I did something wrong, because even passing the W3C validator, and looking roughly correct to my untrained eyes, the feed is coming up bank where I test it.

@glennf @nelson “… and dinner will be really sugary!” he did not add.

Rot in hell, you smug monster, and may the people you killed in Chile, Cambodia, Palestine, Bangladesh, East Timor, Argentina … I’m sorry, I’m reading the wrong eulogy. I’m so sorry. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/

@brennen Everyone to one side of me is a permanently aggrieved bundle of ideological purity tests and grudges who runs Alpine Linux on a hand-loom and refuses to touch any artificial polymer, listen to recordings, or use acronyms; everyone to the other side is a superficial media Twitter schmoozer with a personal brand so big they have to walk through doors sideways, the political discernment of a Pekingese on MDMA, and a habit of telling stories hook-first. This is a documented fact.

@beep @meetar The word “and” is known to grammarians as the two-pack because it connects pairs of things.

@migurski @urschrei @fgregg Not as a primary cause, but contributing, I think, is that by 2007 python has a reputation for having a library for everything: xkcd.com/353/

This piece is good. The refusal to rebut SA’s filing on the merits seems like an unforced error. A lot of us have had to learn to spot what it looks like when a powerful person is asked a question they know would hurt too much to answer, and this is the instance whose stipple portrait will be kept in the history books. South Africa is playing by the rules and doing the work in very thoughtful way here. foreverwars.ghost.io/south-afr
