Scheme, the ur programming language, is 50 years old, as Jason Hemann just reminded me.
“Helping” with folding the laundry. #caturday
This afternoon, after lunch, I laid down for a bit and opened my security camera app. As soon as I opened the office feed, I jumped: the floor was covered in water. I bolted out of bed, grabbed a quick coffee, and raced to the office.
The moment I opened the door, the scene was way worse than I had imagined. It wasn't water; it was sewage. It had backed up through the toilet and flooded everything. It must have come up with some force, too, because the toilet and the floor around it were... well, let's just say it was a splatter scene, worse than any horror movie I've ever seen.
Of course, since it's Saturday afternoon, the building manager is unreachable. I managed to get a hold of a drainage company, but they won't be able to actually do the job until Monday. However, the owner of the company rushed over and at least managed to unblock the main drain.
It looks like someone on the upper floors (probably the University students on the top floor) had been flushing napkins, dental floss, hair, tissues, pads, etc., which created a clog at the outlet to the public sewers. The last video I saw from the camera was from Thursday morning, and it was still dry back then. Basically, every time someone upstairs used the bathroom, everything they flushed ended up in my office.
So, would it be fair to say I’ve had a shitty afternoon?

@catsalad@infosec.exchangeCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) There was a day when he was all you could think of
Had several questions about how the main "Home" feed works on Mastodon. Here's what it shows:
1. All posts from all accounts you follow in chronological order, newest at top
2. All posts shared by accounts or groups you follow
3. Posts that use hashtags you follow in chronological order, newest at top
...and that's it, there is nothing else on your Home feed. It doesn't push anything else at you and it doesn't hide anything from you unless you ask it to. No algorithms.

Trump is so afraid that russia will take over Greenland that he imposed strict sanctions on his allies, but none on russia.

There is some kind of intermittent drumming sound outside and she is concerned.

My proudest parenting moment was when my 11yo daughter asked me to teach her how to write software so she could strip the adverts from the podcasts she downloaded. That's when you know you have a good kid.

Over the past few months I've been working on a new product. It already scratches a big itch I've had for my band, and I'm excited to launch this in the coming weeks.
It's called Setlist HQ

If you're in a band you might find this useful! Going to start a thread with some of the features.
activities are things like: trip to the park, birthday parties, buying a toy, watching tv, swimming, bouldering, trampolining. mostly no more than two outside activities each day it's v full and there's very little time for anything but looking after him. he doesn't do much alone playing

George is still maintaining weight. Started supplementing her every day food with hydrolyzed wet food. She looooves it. Licks the plate clean. I could cry tears of joy.
Alright, slapped a basic egui wrapper on my Smalltalk-80 VM and now I can poke around in the browser and inspect its source code.
It's...very, very fast. Boots in less than one frame.

ICE, MSP, domestic terrorism
I was reading this report about the domestic terrorism inflicted upin the citizens of #MSP - it's truly scary.
https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/dispatch-from-the-occupation
I saw this pop up on #hackernews, read through some of the comments there, and the sentiment was: well this is serious but how do we know it't true?
This feels like tech bro escapism to me. Even if 1/10th of what we hear and see happen in MSP through citizen reports is true, we should all be afraid for our fellow citizens.
I've switched from Thunderbird to the Fastmail application on Android. It seems to have improved, and since neither respects Material Design, I'll choose the better application.
