"I STAND"

wow taking the status quo position sure takes a lot of courage.

Between the Buried and Me never disappoints. Played the entirety of Colors and it was great! https://toot.cat/media/WTwtEsbLtlQ7scxEywk

I have been wondering what this weird vine that showed up by my hostas was. Turns out it's wild cucumber! And apparently it's native? https://toot.cat/media/-k9bDUPb9vTIXfFVKIs

The apple trees are ready for picking! https://toot.cat/media/M2ry2jqOK6hxuiYKtpk

There is a volunteer milkweed growing next to my steps. Came home from work to find this beautiful monarch caterpillar munching on it. https://toot.cat/media/RXzYBmAP7SAuvQpJOAM

@Algot this is the likely outcome

@cwebber I hope the Equifax execs go down hard for this one. They've known about this breach since *July*!

@cwebber "it's a secret, but you need to share it with almost everyone"

@cwebber yeah it's possible that gap buffers would be a bad fit. I guess vim got it right by using ropes?

I have never looked into what a "gap buffer" was, and after reading this article I have a much better idea of how they work and how Emacs makes use of them.

and here's an HN comment of mine about why it's terrible and why Lisp, once again, has something that does it better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15199990

Periodic reminder that JSX is terrible.
