I guess I'm just liveblogging an OS review now, so sure, why not. Wow, are there ever bugs.

- "Hide" and "Hide Other" are both… just broken? Does nothing sometimes, hides *some* other apps sometimes.
- boolean condition tests in shortcuts seem to be corrupted. Should have screenshotted this when I saw it instead of just fixing it, but it just shows "VarName [is]" and no field afterwards, and then the shortcut fails with an error telling you to populate that missing field

• video: a video of someone filming their grey and white cat, captioned "Recording my cat like she's a car" the video is various moving shots of the cat, sometimes focusing in on things like her paws or her face while she yawns, while some slowed down techno song plays in the background the cat herself is just sitting there or loafing on what looks to be a black bag, not caring one bit about what's going on

Great, great reporting by ProPublica.

we've been tracking the migration patterns of the giant flying squid, and we finally figured out where they set down to drink water on their way south.

unfortunately the carnivorous flamingos there have become toxic to them due to pollution, so to keep the squid from eating the flamingos, make a lot of noise to get the squid to attack you instead, then run for your life

okay, so to lure out green dream tigers, go to sleep in their hunting grounds. then while they circle around your prone form, your partner can brush their teeth.

endangered lava worms are a keystone species, without them both the giant spiders and the fire birds go hungry, so we need brave rangers to go out there and scrub the microplastics off their scales so they can dig better. what? a sword? no, but you can have a handheld radio

Please boost!! 🔁🔁

Due to transphobic home and work situations, I have to find a new job immediately.

Im a recently graduated staff accountant/cash applications specialist with experience in processing checks and credit cards specifically, as well as some knowledge of portals but Im a quick learner and willing to learn whatever you throw at me

I have my bachelors in accounting, so Im very familiar with accounting theory, GAAP, and some auditing principles and tax stuff

I also have some experience with integration and utilize a DBMS on a daily basis, creating, editing, and deleting accounts in the system.

At my current job I can process ~200 checks in a day if thats all Im doing (around 1000/week), but my company has some redundant steps so it could be faster

Looking for full time work, open to both remote and in-person. I'm based in north Dallas for in-person.

If you're tempted to reply, "Well why don't you suggest a topic?" believe me, I have. What do you think my goddamn blog is? But none of the things I suggest ever get popular, so it's moot.

I understand the situation entirely, but I cannot bring myself to ever give half a shit about most celebrities, and I get tired of hearing about it quickly.

Ed Sheeran this, Macklemore that, no one will shut the fuck up and talk about anything else.

but we do for sure need to figure out why these string contents are wrong, though

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

... in doing that, a question arises, should we try to roll the descriptions for strings into the general-purpose facilities, the same way we did with alignment

but we poked at it a bit and we think the answer is no, because it's not really meant to format in that way

there's something fiddly about the memory validity for the label metadata, which causes a crash at the end if we do it naively, so we're fixing all the obviously wrong rendering we can see to check whether that helps...

We need a real reproducers.

big asks for someone who looooves treating security researchers like shit lol not so nice after all to get no heads up huh?

Maybe the presentation used a custom build. It uses libgcrypt 1.12.4 which is not yet used in any binary we released.

should we crowdfund glasses for wk maybe?

someday after this bootstrapping is done, we'll be able to make the loading of source files be coded within Evocation, and then we'll be able to format it so it's readable. ah well. gotta get there first.

okay now that this bug is worked around, the *intrusive* elements of the slop UI are gone, and existential despair is back down around a tolerable level for now\

wait. no. we were reading the wrong part of the compilation command. it stops where it's supposed to. phew :)

huh. the label transform is... stopping early. has been for a while. we only just noticed, since we finally have things looking good enough that proofreading its output for individual words makes sense. magic word collision maybe?

it was in fact just a bug! thanks @samedwards !

weirdly enough the UI does in fact seem to go away on macOS when the screen time restrictions are enabled so maybe this is just a bug.

even if I can disable it for myself, though, this is just abysmally bleak. I really hope that one day the designers who did this feel a deep sense of personal shame.

tbh maybe we should do labels first. we're gonna do labels first.

yep, okay, that's done. hmm... now, word entry headers under the log-load transform look wrong, what can we do about that...

TIL: Baklava Code

You've heard of spaghetti code: Tangled strands with little structure.

But have you heard of baklava code? Thousands of fragile sticky layers. Some of them are nuts.
