Surprising fact: no major professional scientific organization has flipped from a paywalled publishing model to 100% Open Access.
The @ACM the world's foremost professional computing organization, is going to be the first on January 1, 2026, when its entire digital library will become freely available to the public.
Cute game some people did for Ludum Dare. Your goal is to get all of the floppy people arranged in bed properly.

#Violet says that, since it's Friday, maybe it's worth getting out of bed.

Woman in a shop: D'you sell pregnancy tests?
Till Girl: No. We sell baby food.
Pause.
Till Girl: Do you want any?
Woman: I don't know, do I!

If you have had an adult family member or friend that was recently diagnosed with a previously unknown developmental psychological disorder (ADHD, autism, etc), you might have noticed something that confused you. Right around the time they were diagnosed, maybe even a bit before, they "suddenly" began to exhibit symptoms when never had before. You might be like, "I've known this person for X years and they never behaved like this." You might even think they are "acting" or something.

@pesh "What do I have to get done today? EVERYTHING."
I'm reading the bullet journal book. I understand the advantages of using paper, but so many of the notes I take are technical details (which I might need to refer to later) that being unable to search might be a deal-breaker.
I'm already using a combination of Google Docs, Trello, and paper that has a lot in common with what Carroll suggests. I may end up just stealing some ideas.

@LouisIngenthron Have you found that FOSS has a better "fixing things" to "new features" ratio?

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:
A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.
Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.
Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA
@sourcenouveau I prefer to put blank lines between functions/methods, not within them. If your function is so long that it needs breaks, either use those lines for explanatory comments or (better yet) break your function into smaller pieces.
Inserting too much whitespace can make a function too long to fit on one screen, making it much harder to read.
