Just learning #Python... it doesn't have constants? Really? And you're supposed to simulate them by using a naming convention? You're kidding me, right?

Can't find any more #Commodore GEOS geoPaint images that I can't decode... even the two disk jacket images near the end, which have missing records! The Disk Wrangler is nearing its first non-beta release!

How long before something like this happens at the #Milwaukee air show?

Fun time at the #Miwaukee Code & Coffee meetup -- the GEOS mega font display routine is FIXED! All bugs must die! None shall escape!

The idea that I shouldn't use the name "master" for my branches because it refers to slavery is absurd. My main branches will always be called "master" and anybody who doesn't like it can piss right off.

What do you think, should I get this for the machine room?

Doesn't matter if Oppenheimer is a good movie or not. It's unacceptably long.

Brand new, freshly washed, and ready for its first listening!

$19 shipping for an $8 Mastodon pin... I'd like one, but uh, no.

I'm planning a trip to the chocolate store... someone stop me before it's too late!

Another Amazon fiasco! Lebkuchen, the very ambrosia of the gods, delivered in this condition, with no protection whatsoever... IT WILL NOT STAND. This I will go to war over.

So only one-legged pets are allowed on Amtrak? Is that really practical?

I'm starting to like the "eric" Python IDE, but the UX is criminal. Look at the number of icons, you could die from it!

Just hangin' out in gopher on my #Commodore64 running GEOS...

I'm heartbroken. My new Music Hall mmf-3.3 turntable failed after two days (power issue)... but I'm getting a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO instead (with the wood grain finish). I think it was the universe telling me "no, you do not want avant-garde, go with something safe and predictable." The situation was extremely well handled by B&H Photo, and the new turntable should arrive tomorrow. #audiophile

Going to see #Dune Part 2, need advice: how many boxes of chocolate raisins is enough for 2h 46m?

Final adjustments and a cartridge upgrade on the new turntable. #audiophile

I think I may have recovered sufficiently from seeing #Dune Part 2 last Friday to see it again. Can I withstand it? Will my head explode? Will I come out of the theatre speaking the Fremen language? Or will I be transformed, and become one of the Fedaykin?

Wasn't MS-DOS 4.0 the buggiest version ever? I seem to remember that it was withdrawn almost immediately in favor of 5.0. Maybe M*S released the source so that young programmers would learn how not to code!

I've had time to reflect on Sir Simon Rattle's #Mahler 6th last weekend, and I know what blew me away: it's that it was a European orchestra! Rarely have I heard them live; it's a whole different way of playing. They're like friends casually getting together to make music (only the level of mastery is superlative). Even the way the guy struck the hammer -- kind of hefted it for a second, then rested the head on the floor until it was needed and took a quick, mighty swing... like an executioner.

"...growing demand for cloud services and for artificial intelligence literacy programs..." -- Artificial intelligence literacy? What does that even mean?
