Meh, if that happens I’ll just replace the cheap commodity printer… I’m not fixing anything, except the cats.

Yes, it’s an accident - the power button is just a touch sensitive spot on the printer - but they do like to play witn paper, so this would invariably lead to more shenanigans.

I just spit out my coffee reading that, and I wasn’t drinking coffee at the time…

Which is why I don’t mind if they break it - it would let me justify getting a decent laser jet printer.

W. T. F.

I will repeat my earlier statement: I hate printers.

I appreciate the info, but I wasn’t looking for a solution - I just wanted to vent a little…

Meh.

I’ll agree, docstrings are better for documenting a function than just a comment.

However, the author seems to jump through hoops in the next example to break one function into four, just to avoid some single line comments. Unless those code blocks make sense as functions (they’re used/duplicated elsewhere), you’re just making work for yourself. Why not turn it into 12 functions? One for each line of code?

I’m reminded of the admonition that there are only two hard problems^* in computer science – cache invalidation, and naming things. The more functions you have, the more things you have to name.

The rest of it – name your magic numbers, use tuple unpacking, comment “why” instead of “what” – is good practice. I’m just not a fan of making functions just to avoid writing a comment.

^* And off by one errors.

Like a eucharist lunchable

Don’t give the Catholic church another idea how to get kids in the door.

the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.

Kinda ironic that you are discussing the nonsense of “how things should work” on a federated service where you control the intermediaries you work with and through, which is, IMO, the way things should work.

I’ve seen music books for recorders on ZLib - maybe there is stuff for ocarina as well.

I tried KMail and Organizer for a few weeks, but they kept losing connection with Gmail. My calendar would get out of sync, and they only way to fix it was to reset the connection and redo all the appointments.

I’m sure it was user error, since I couldn’t figure it out after spending a couple hours on it, so I just dropped back to webmail and not leaving the mail tab open all day.

I like Antenna Pod for this - my BT connections let me use the Forward 30 Seconds feature when m driving or running. Since most ads are 30 seconds long, I can cruise through them easily.

Me too - I’ll use Konsole if I need to have the results up all the time, but Yakuake is my main terminal.

My first reaction would be to acknowledge them as a fellow geek, but that’s because most of the people who live near me would hurt themselves trying to open Notepad. Anyone who knows enough to start hacking my config files would be a welcome guest in my house.

Then I’d kill them with a hammer. :-)

The bill, well-intentioned as it might have been, would disrupt centuries of church dogma

Because the sunk cost of centuries of wrong thinking is more important than protecting children.

In other news, the Catholic Church was unavailable for comment.

As do I, but the last two times I got “security updates” from Samsung, they came with some new games I never asked for.

So thanks for not wiping the SW I added - now could you stop adding crapware as well?

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains.

The stains become a warning.

I do the same thing, using a home-grown Git sync solution to keep my vault synced between my desktop, laptop, and Android phone. Free, and easy to setup on the computers, needed some additional SW on the Android side to get the sync to work.

I’ve a single vault with everything in it - personal journal, research projects, writing projects, random notes, all of it. I separate it all in a folder structure when I can, and use tags for finding the random notes and files otherwise. I’ve got notes from Kindle and Zotero books that get pulled in when necessary, as well as Fleeting Notes. I keep my vault synced on my desktop, laptop, and Android phone via a home-grown GitHub sync script.

I have a large collection of stuff in a OneNote notebook, which stays there until I need it. No sense taking the time to move over stuff I may not need right now.

I do a lot of my writing in it using Longform, as well as just in a note for shorter pieces. Those include some crappy creative writing and slightly less crappy technical articles.

My EndeavourOS (and the prior Manjaro distro) had all of them installed.

All. Of. Them.

I am so tired of having to scroll through hundreds of Noto fonts to get to the later ones, but I’m afraid, if I uninstall one, something will break on reboot.
