It means to pointlessly take something to a place that already has it in abundance.

How was the Graeber? I loved Bullshit Jobs.

This is poetry.

My favourite part is that he uses the modulo operator in his Python script to generate the C code.

A fancy fineliner. I use a Rotting Isograph with a 0.1 mm nib. It has a refillable ink reservoir which I really like, making it quite cheap to run. Plus you can order just the nib if you break one in a fit of frustrated scribbling-over.

Thank you! More to follow…

Reading these comments, there sure aren’t a lot of R programmers out there.

RStudio for R, Spyder for Python, Emacs for either of the above when I want to be cool.

As someone who’s spent a lot of time working in a lab, the ability to control static electricity would be a godsend! There’s really nothing like spending weeks preparing a new material as a fine powder, carrying it over to the weighing scales, placing a glass sample vial onto the scales, taring it, then a scooping up some of your powder with a spatula, careful not to lose a single particle, then carefully, CAREFULLY carrying the scoop of power to the sample vial – then seeing the static blast your powder out of the spatula to coat the OUTSIDE of the sample vial, plus the scales, plus your nitrile glove…

I have trauma.

Thanks! I’m actually not that happy with it to be honest. The windows don’t line up, the balcony isn’t really anywhere… the more I look at it the more it annoys me. Still, it took a good few hours to draw, so it’s staying up!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! It turns out my happy place is spending endless hours drawing closely spaced parallel lines.

This looks really interesting! I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

Not exactly managing a team – it’s more a question of best practices around pull requests, version control, testing, code reviews, pair programming etc. I’m not interested in management, but I do I want to know what a well managed team ought to be doing!

This was a fascinating watch! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

I like that! Oddly, the name “daddy longlegs” applies to craneflies like this in the UK, and to a kind of spider in the US.

Linux Mint since 2018. Everything has worked so smoothly, I’ve never felt the need to change.

Alternative weight loss techniques include making the planet spin faster or else hollowing it out entirely, neither of which would have any negative repurcussions as far as I can see.
