Looking at magical “far away dates” in our code, I discover these tidbits: • we have no records in some table which were created before 1900-01-01 • that same table has no records created after 3000-01-01 …I can’t dispute either of those assumptions.

Ok maybe I don’t need a new HDMI cable because @BlueJeansCable has an article https://t.co/uWQnrNN56P saying “Hey dummy you probably don’t need this”, BUT they fail to say “It’s dumb to make a vanity purchase of an HDMI cable just because we use @BeldenInc” so maybe it’s okay

Oh shit and my cat6 cables too

.@BlueJeansCable Looks like I need to upgrade all my HDMI cables https://t.co/F9WCr0qvmP // @BeldenInc

Using the internet these days: *body does a weird* *google symptom* webmd> You have cancer!!! *ahh, good, it’s obviously nothing*

.@Codecademy When I go to sign up and use GitHub as an oauth provider, why do you request such a large scope: to read and write all of my repositories?! That’s INSANE!!1!!11 Signing in with Google has a much more sensible scope: know my name, email address, and profile picture.

I asked @OpenAI ‘s ChatGPT to show me a map of the United States

The new 2024 Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook doesn’t include a humorous italicized Disclaimer on the copyright page. Legacy #dnd5e had just an extra touch of humor, pity it’s missing now.

The crust of the bread is not some magical nutrient-dense peel, like an apple or potato. There aren’t extra vitamins hiding in it. The crust is just the inside of the bread with a suntan.

This burrito is so bad that even though it’s wrapped in foil I’m eating it with a knife and fork, this thing deserves no respect from me

Finished “Even Though I Knew The End” by @clpolk today - what a great ride that was, a perfect story. Can’t wait to read more!

I actually went with fake_home() { bash -c ' export HOME=/tmp/fake-home; cd $HOME; exec bash -l; '; } since that spawns the new shell in the correct directory.

BREAKING: In a stunning leak, JD Vance is found to be calling for a federal response to stop women from traveling from red states to blue states to receive reproductive healthcare. Retweet so all Americans hear this devastating leak.

Ahh yes of course if I want to test weird things for bash then I must run $ bash -c 'HOME=/tmp/fake-home exec bash -l'

Here’s a neat #bash trick: try/catch-retry c='(cd /tmp; echo hello)' $c # fails, "(cd …)" cmd not found command_not_found_handle() { eval "$*"; return $?; } $c # fails, then hits handler and runs —— Here "try" is spelled: $c "catch" is the function, which uses eval to "retry"

Forget all the crazy ChatGPT updates for iOS 18 — I’m most excited that I can finally remove the flashlight from my lock screen. Darn phone is always enabling the light in my pocket.

emacs-libvterm is pretty awesome. It can correctly handle attaching to a tmux session, and can run vim, and even can run `emacs -nw`. And you can even infinity mirror yourself! emacs > vterm > tmux > emacs -nw > vterm > tmux
