@geekmomprojects It's pretty shocking stuff what manufacturers of farming equipment are pulling off (and JD does seem to be at the forefront).
Have you listened to the Adam Savage interview on the EFF podcast last month? They were talking about that as well. Check from about 7:40 minutes in, but the rest of the chat is very interesting too.

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair."

@eqe this has been a genuine frustration with me. I wish notebooks had had composability as a first-class concern from the start, but they only seem to be useful for human consumption @niconiconi

@niconiconi yes except literate programs were intended to be combined with other programs, and that's very difficult with a jupyter notebook
@tsturm oh? well done Boeing. a couple of false starts on this one if I'm not mistaken
@readsteven @gdsk3k how do you mean it's the standard map? standard for what?

Old 32 colors pixelart picture,
320x180 px - Amiga palette, done in rush, so not perfect
I was trying to create impression of colorful composition within limitations of the computer:
- 32 colors from 4096 pool
- to compare: normal 8bit pixelart usually use up to 256 colors from 16,777,216 colors palette

The speaker asks "Can everyone hear me okay?"
Someone responds "Yes!"
The speaker starts their presentation.
The people who can not hear of course never respond.
@Pat yeah, that's what I read. I want them around: they're fun to watch, and I'm glad they felt comfortable here, but I also read they can bring in ticks and lice in the materials used to build their nest, so that's something to keep an eye on
I like this podcast for pointing me to interesting space stuff, but one of the hosts has a voice that's too ... sibilant, I think. somehow what he says just doesn't register unless I'm really focusing, where I'm usually only half-listening to a lot of podcasts. Also, I keep thinking it could use some "punch-up"... they have a lot of discursive dialogue that distracts me, and some of the details they include, where they basically just name components, are just lost on me.

yep, they are definitely nesting here. apparently a law protects them. I don't mind although I'm worried a call bit about parasites, so I'll probably remove the nest after they've raised their brood for the season

@graue go to city council meetings and talk to city planners.

When Margaret wants sink water she doesn’t meow or bother me or anything. Instead she does this, which is much more unsettling
@maltimore having learned some Haskell, I think these slides, at least, are a tad misleading. All of the tutorials and things I saw when I was learning Haskell the first time presented the IO monad as the way to print to the console, which becomes super frustrating when you just want to debug by printing the value of something during execution without it being "in" an IO monad already. I found Debug.Trace eventually, but it wasn't super obvious
