    @lynnesbian In so many cases, too, it actually takes _less_ time to just give the damn answer than it does to tell someone to read "the manual." The wild success of StackOverflow is a heap of evidence to support my claim.

    whenever i see someone ask a question about computers that i feel is obvious, rather than saying READ THE MANUAL DO IT YOURSELF or HOW COULD YOU BE THIS UNINTELLIGENT i just explain how to do the thing, thus giving people a good experience with the community instead of making people associate linux users with smug, condescending, self-righteous asses

    Holy shit. Steve Hackett has really upped his game with his most recent album. I'm just in awe with his song Wolflight, for instance.

    My photoshop-fu isn't the best but this 3 image moziac shows the relative positioning of the Flame Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula. #astrophoto

    @sean ooooo, right. I forgot we fired at him.

    Umm. Yeah.

    We're gonna need a new Will.

    Did you know? You can use Java class names to send secret messages with morse code!

    For instance

    class AbstractFactoryFactoryFactoryBuilderBuilderBuilderFactoryFactoryFactory

    would signal that the sender is in distress!

    So, after switching to a new, faster database back-end, we're back to 30+ second response times from the API server courtesy of database table locking.

    Fucking hell, I swear, I'm going to replace our backend DBs with a prevayler and a checkpointer that just writes out dumb Unix (binary) files.

    I'm so fucking tired of this bullshit.

    @jjg The only reason I bring it up is because I suspect any counter-surveillance advantages that exist *ought* to be similar for both. Or, put another way, any security holes that exist ought to be similar for both. ;)

    I'd love to see S&F make a come-back. Just be careful about designing the security aspects of it.

    @jjg Packet switching is, logically, store and forward applied to the kilobyte or smaller data unit.

    @jjg I've always been a fan of store-and-forward. Call me old fashioned, but...

    Thinking about getting serious about store-and-forward architectures. Seems like an application area left underdeveloped since the availability of broadband in wealthy regions.

    Besides being robust, they have numerous counter-surveillance advantages.

    . o O (Seriously thinking everything I write going forward should be in a language that has absolute ties with Lisp. This includes Lisp itself, Scheme, Io, and Smalltalk.)

    So, apparently, global and "nonlocal" scopes in Python 3 are not equivalent for top-level functions or methods. This is just so incredibly disappointing.

    Without fail, every attempt I've made to independently arrive at a presentation-based UI structure has resulted in abject failure. Instead, what ends up happening is either Presentation-Abstraction-Control pattern, Model-View-Presenter, or Model-View-Controller precipitates out of the design effort.

    Moreover, I'm finding that the display list concept ("output streams" as CLIM refers to them) is significantly harder to implement than direct rendering.
