Do you follow PEP8 to a T or is there a rule or two you break? #python

TIL that Dr. Gregor's Daily Dozen app is open source under GPL license. Pleasant surprise!

The laziest humidity dome! Gotta rig something up better. 😅 Have to appreciate that pixel-perfect fit though.

Super interested in how the heating mat plays out. Last year I didn't use one. I assume it should help seeds like spinach germinate; had trouble getting those to come up last time around.

The value of is not in the packages that are available (Gnus, org-mode, Magit, etc.). It is the fact that these packages live in the same application, manipulate text the same way, and can interact with each other to do exactly what you want them to do.

dougbeney,

@galdor Something huge for me is the self-discoverability.

C-h v = get information about a variable
C-h f = get information about a function
C-h P = get information about a package

Being able to learn the ins and outs of something with proper documentation, without having to open a web browser is amazing!

Not to mention evaluating your configuration code in real time.

..and don't get me started on Emacs config being a lisp 😍

Serious question.

With purchasing the Affinity apps, there’s a lot of gloom and doom out there — from myself included. I use Affinity apps a lot and don’t want them to have a new corporate dominatrix.

However, I’ve not much experience with Canva (a bit, but not much)

Here’s the question: is it as crap as it appears to be on first impression?

dougbeney,

@LoneLocust Canva is great at product development. I have hopes they'll be a good steward.

The revolution is starting

dougbeney,

@Miriamm I call red cabbage "purple cabbage" more often than not. 😂

I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates

It means that every post published was important to the writer

Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most

You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

dougbeney,

@baldur I've bounced around to a lot of RSS readers and am very much digging Inoreader. Which do you use?

My favorite sporadically updated weblogs are all Emacs related. Always new little things to learn. Shoutout to @sachac, although her blog is far from sporadic!
