Does anyone have experience in using AERC, the command-line email client?

I'd like to read posts outlining custom workflows and learn the proper way to set it up for my needs.

Boosts welcome.

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

Someone somewhere is not handling a null value correctly... :neofox_flop:

A graph from around 6th February 2025 to the 20th February 2025 showing values steady around 10,00 between the 6th to 12th, and then suddenly increasing between the 13th and 20th to around 400,000

Loved this line from the article in particular: "The most valuable skills often emerge from the intersections between disciplines, not from their cores."

There's really much to learn from working and collaborating with other people, whether that be related to your current line of work or maybe even something else entirely. I just hope more people do approach collaborating in this manner, to make interactions more worthwhile 😄

that was a quick honeymoon:

“…concern among investors over a slowing economy and sticky inflation, leading them in search of safer assets.

Losses increased into the close as traders feared staying long into a weekend that could bring another barrage of headlines from the Trump administration, which has proposed a flurry of tariffs and other market-moving policy changes since taking charge a month ago.”

what a cover

the front cover of the 1984 book "Artificial Intelligence in BASIC" by Mike James. It depicts a three dimensional egg whose surface appears to be made of curved circuit board, with visible copper traces and green solder-mask. From approximately the egg's center of mass emanates a bright starburst-like flash

tricky dick

Had to ban the phrase “tricky dick” from my classroom during watergate lesson because saying the word dick in front of 30 fifteen year olds is like lighting a bomb and throwing it through the doorway but now they’re just calling him Richard the Treacherous like they’re all medieval peasants. gonna lose it

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers

Of course, Microchip's perspective is that the IDE is the thing, that's one of the major things they provide to customers. But speaking as somebody who inherited a Microchip product, I don't even use the IDE except to manage the files in the project. I do everything else outside of it. Even the build. It's just not that important. Well, at least until I can't get the docs anymore. :(

I also disagree with the idea that somehow not being in the IDE is counterproductive. The IDE isn't the thing. All my tools, on and off the computer, and all my other software is the thing. The IDE is just the place I manage some of the software processes. I don't lose productivity just because I look away from the IDE. What a narrow view of things. Booo!

I wonder how long before reading the docs just won't be an option anymore. Like the only thing we'll get is a chatbot trained on "vectorized" specifications or requirements. No docs will be written. It will be cheaper, you see.

I disagree with the idea that going to read the docs is "distracting". That's just part of the job, to understand what I'm dealing with.
