I think we need screencasts just showing in all its glory. How anyone uses solely via the CLI tools I'll never understand.

tired: I googled it
wired: I DuckDuckWent for it

Argument this morning at work over whether a haystack can be moved easily. Either way, the dicussion prompted me to wonder, why don't we have hayqueues? Maybe build it on it's side, so hay goes in one end, and pops out the others? :)

What if we could version the interface to the United States Government? This is V1 of the Constitution, and just admit that at somepoint we'll need new major version.

A little thing I <3 about programming is how I can return to a complex problem after a break with a fresh perspective and the solution just pops out.

Don't forget to climb out of the rabbit hole. Breath, sleep, eat, smile, and enjoy something or someone.

Reason #173 I love and ... an ansi terminal that's also a text editor buffer. Copy, paste, annotate, delight.

Watching the Mother of All Demos this morning, and I can't help but feel that and are the spiritual successor to their text-based, modal input information storage.

doing it's best imitation of 90s windows ... every five days there's a new "you must restart your computer to update" alert. WTF.

What do you get when you cross a d20 with developer excuses? A pocket developer mini game!

I need a pair of these in my life.

How come there is no emotional education at school?

I'm often reminded by the folks that live around me that it's better to create art or tools than drama. It seems often that we've entered a period of entertainment culture, which is really just another way of saying artifical drama. Humans actually need some drama in their lives, but hopefully it's created as a byproduct of a useful product, rather than the emotional equivalent of sugar water.

Trying to figure out how to play Fallout 4 on a Mac, and its funny to read game forums in 2018 where people still refer to the split as PC or Mac ... pretty sure Macs are personal computers. Also, in 2018 people are still arguing that Macs are best for graphics and audio work. Seriously? What about when I don't want to have to reinstall my OS or mess around with the cruft of two decades of NT kernel shit? And a veneer of POSIX compliance

It seems absurd that with a modern laptop featuring 8 CPU cores I should spend as much time on bundles to build, or to run. Wish it were easier to a code base and speed things up.

Switched to the develop bracnh of this morning ... mostly to begin using for which is a delight. Develop is both, pretty stable, and much more up to date, and I wish I had made the jump sooner.
