Cats are toddlers that can reach the ceiling

Can we never joke about sensitive topics?

Isn’t humor like, our primary coping mechanism for dealing with dark topics?

Maybe the light in the dash was shorting, causing the light to turn on on its own

And screaming was juuuust enough to cause the short to break connection?

It’s either that or ghosts

that is a little more complicated

p.communicate() will take a string (or bytes) and send it to the stdin of the process, then wait for p to finish execution

there are ways to stream input into a running process (without waiting for the process to finish), but I don’t remember how off the top of my head

from shutil import which
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, run
from pathlib import Path

LS   = which('ls')
REV  = which('rev')

ls   = run([LS, Path.home()], stdout=PIPE)

p = Popen([REV], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate(ls.stdout)

print(stdout.decode('utf-8'))

nushell is pretty good. I use it for my main shell

although, i still prefer writing utilities in python over nu scripts

just use python instead.

• wrap around subprocess.run(), to call to system utils
• use pathlib.Path for file paths and reading/writing to files
• use shutil.which() to resolve utilities from your Path env var

Here’s an example of some python i use to launch vscode (and terminals, but that requires dbus)

from pathlib import Path
from shutil import which
from subprocess import run

def _run(cmds: list[str], cwd=None):
    p = run(cmds, cwd=cwd)

    # raises an error if return code is non-zero
    p.check_returncode()

    return p

VSCODE = which('code')
SUDO   = which('sudo')
DOCKER = which('docker')

proj_dir = Path('/path/to/repo')

docker_compose = proj_dir / 'docker/'

windows = [
  proj_dir / 'code',
  proj_dir / 'more_code',
  proj_dir / 'even_more_code/subfolder',
]
for w in windows:
  _run([VSCODE, w])

_run([SUDO, DOCKER, 'compose', 'up', '-d'], cwd=docker_compose)

I’ve started collecting ideas in my notes

I open Obsidian, create a new note, and jot down the idea

Obsidian is preconfigured to add new notes to an Inbox folder, and the note’s name defaults to the date and time

At a later time, I go through my inbox and rename and recategorize

This makes writing down ideas painless, while also minimizing the interruption of whatever I was doing at the time

Why is there so much political messaging right now

Fuck off with all the democracy doomsday posting, I just want to see funny memes

OwO

OwO

See, I like to actually enjoy myself sometimes, instead of just hating the world

And part of that enjoyment is good coffee. Fresh, locally roasted coffee, that I grind fresh each morning. I either take it black, or with a splash of milk, depending on my mood

Drip brewers are perfectly fine, so long as you don’t use the hot plate. But the biggest impact on coffee flavor is the freshness of both the roast and the grind

Waiting till the new year to change is an excuse

Change now, not later

Yup

It’s also the “choke that guy with your crotch till he passes out” sport

(Triangle chokes)

I am really looking forward to all the new fresh meat newcomers to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Being able to smash someone else’s face into the mat for once

Because it’s all an impulse decision

“New Year’s Resolutions” are the exact opposite of setting good goals

Good goals:

• need to be definable
  • “I will start restricting calories and target a 1lb per week loss”
  • not “get in shape”
• need to be actionable
  • “I will start making plans right now, and implementing them tonight”
  • not “I will wait till a specific time of the year”
• need to be sustainable
  • “I will adjust my strategy to work around my daily habits and otherwise be flexible”
  • not “NO MORE SWEETS”

I think it’s both a big cat, and the perspective makes it look bigger

I write code so I can pay for my bougie coffee

(Local fresh roasted coffee is amazing)

Coffee brewers that have a hot plate under the carafe will burn and ruin coffee. The best method of keeping coffee fresh is to keep it in a sealed container (like a double walled carafe with a lid)

Microwaving coffee is actually a pretty decent way to re-heat it, but the taste will depend on how fresh it was kept prior

I’m more talking about theory than practical.

I’ve not developed anything in C/C++, so I don’t know practical uses for a double pointer, aside from multidimensional arrays, or arrays of pointers

My point was that, conceptually, pointers to pointers is how most complex data structures work. Even if the C representation of said code doesn’t have a int** somewhere

Mostly boys admiring the boobs or butts of girls

Them: “Yo man, check out her ass… She’s so hot”

How i want to reply: “Yep, that’s a gluteus maximus, although I don’t see her sweating”
