Fick brev frÄn Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm dÀr det verkade som att jag behövde BankID för att öht kunna vara med eller fÄ bostÀder men jag ringde dom och dÄ förklarade dom att det gick att skapa vanligt lösenordskonto ocksÄ och jag har ju kvar mitt gamla konto som jag skapade för Äratal sen. Slutsats: BankID behövs inte dÀr! Jag kommer aldrig nÄnsin skaffa BankID. DÀremot ska jag ta en titt pÄ det systemet som Digg tog fram nÀr det kommer ut. Det kanske kan vara nÄt för mig. Vi fÄr vÀl se hur det blir med det!
When you write a module in CâDent, you can use it in a dozen different programming languages. For instance, you could write a module in Python and use it in JavaScript, or you could write a module in JavaScript and use it in Perl 6, Ruby or Java.
What a trip.
This is of limited use since itâs for logic, not for API stuff, and most apps write their own logic instead of relying on modules for logic, but Iâll have to try to remember that this exists for things that do rely on logic.
One example that does come to mind is an infix expression parser library that takes strings as input and returns numbers. Something like that could work with CâDent.

Study tracking mental health after bariatric surgery:
The prevalence difference in filled psychiatric drug prescription was highest 10 years after the matched index date (20·4%; 15·9â24·9), when 171 (36·5%) of 469 surgery patients and 739 (16·0%) of 4607 matched adolescents filled a psychiatric drug prescription.
TL;DR: psychiatric diagnoses & prescriptions were more common in the cohort before bariatric surgery and a lot more common after. People were feeling super bad.
The chickens & eggs get tangled up when trying to view larger trends around this issueâperhaps there are feedback loops?
The fact that people outside of NSG are making cards is important for the health of Android: Netrunner, just like how the retroclones (like OSE and Pathfinder) revitalized D&D. These MNeMiC cards are not legal in NSG events, which is fine. Plenty of other fun formats to use them in.

/ignore đ is pretty vital to make IRC work but it can get really confusing seeing your friend talk to some invisible ghost, youâre like âare they talking to me or not?â Rcirc has /dim as a middle ground but it still triggers highlights as far as I can tell. I maybe need to make a â75%-of-the-way goneâ ground where the person is confined to the non-omitted view, i.e. a super dim that also hides on C-c C-o. And then reserve the real /ignore for outright spammers (and figure out a way to make soju aware of them).
IRC is a liâl messy
RubyPigeonâs frustration with RuboCop:
The problem starts when it is viewed not as a tool, but as a set of divine commandments. Thou shalt not make implicit nils explicit. Thou shalt not write long-form conditionals. Thus saith the RuboCop.
I can often get frustrated with linters and was looking for an anti-RuboCop rant I could get behind but in this case I thought RuboCop was spot on and that RuboCopâs version is better than RubyPigeonâs. đ€·đ»ââïž
When things are overly-explicated it looks to me like thereâs something wrong or that something is missing there. A guard clause style formatting is appropriate here; youâre subclassing HTMLFilter just to add a guard clause to its render_element method. RuboCop gets that point straight forwardly & immediately across. Super if safe?. Otherwise donât. Period. In Helvetica. Any questions? Of course not.
Piping HTML snippets (perhaps with shell-command-on-region) through w3m for a quick look at how various combinations of p and br will render:
echo '<p><br/><br/>this is the<br/>example</p>'|w3m -T text/html |cat
The type flag makes it understand that itâs not text input, and then piping it through cat isnât useless at all since it turns off the whole curses stuff that goops up Emacs, instead just giving plain text output.

Great reminder of how it felt to have only a surface understanding of an app:
they donât internalize a computer/app as a generalized system with common UI conventions and frameworks and reusable elements that always behave predictably in different contexts, etc, etc. They interact with these things through a set of memorized steps that gets them to the thing they want to do.
I think even many programmers can relate to using one specific app this way: git! Yeah, yeah, itâs possible to understand git properly (one of the good things of a previous day job I had was that I learned that, and have started heading down that road at least somewhat, because it made git fun instead of a source of dread) but weâve all heard the memes of how people just memorize a set of steps with git. I was even using shell scripts and many of those scripts I still use. Just basically âmake a save point here pleaseâ like a video game.
Now can I finally get a liâl less grief for using an editor from the 1970s? đ€·đ»ââïž

When a web forum has a âlogin with GitHubâ button the way some Discourse servers have, is there a way to instead use another OAuth provider?
To me a state or city flag is fine if it has a complicated seal instead of a super abstracted star on fields. Local flags shouldnât strive for the same graphic simplicity as country flags do.
I want a nice Futura or Helvetica for the header and a more serifed thing for the body, like Charter or something. And the headline should be one or just a few words but the body should go into things in more detail.
Same thing goes for flags. City flags and state flags are a great place for more complicated and historical designs with sheep and chevron azure and sundry. Detail is fine there.
An article from six years ago about six reason why Mastodon sucks.
One fun thing is that the reason the guy registered was to protect his name from name squatters. But he only did that on dot cloud.
Anyway, #6 (lack of good apps) is still a huge problem (but thatâs mostly a problem with how Android and iOS does notifications), #2 and #5 are features rather than bugs (at least theyâre why Iâm into Fedi and not X), and #3 and #4 was changed (thankfully). And arguably #1 has been ameliorated by non-Mastodon fedi servers like GoToSocial, honk, Pixelfed and Tootik. Although as much as I hated calling posts toots, I never minded the Mastodon name for the server app itself. I kinda like it đŠŁ

The Speak Out Act (S.4524) is an Act of Congress which prevents the enforcement of non-disclosure agreements in instances of sexual assault and harassment.
This federal law has been in place for a liâl over a year. Good to know about, for those who are under NDAs. I hadnât heard of it until today.

My three favorite 2p games with traditional playing cards are slam, color gin, and haggis. Slam is probably the most fun but one thing about color gin thatâs great is how it uses all 52 cards, it uses suits, it uses melds, and it uses sets. Ranks and ordering, it all matters. Slam and haggis both use stripped decks.
I was working on adapting the Cthulhu Confidential scenarios, I got a huge bundle of them a while back, to Cthulhu Dark (already kind of similar) and I had a ruleset I liked a lot that cleaned up a lot of what I thought was a liâl strange or tedious about CC.
But then as I was reading some of the scenarios, theyâre not at all the kind of game I like to run. I donât mind those Sherlock Holmes or Orient Express boardgame scenarios but they are based on a set of clues you can visit in any order. CC, on the other hand, is prepped plot. Itâs flowcharts youâre squeezed through. Not necessarily un-worthwhile compared to reading a short story or watching a play but⊠not really a good fit for my whole schtick.
