On the one hand, we are under a flood warning. On the other, a cat is laying on me and purring to comfort herself. This is winning. #OpheTheLoaf

@ultralee0.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy Started this show the other day and hooooo boy is it exactly as insane as I expected (positive)

I am happy to announce that my home server is back online. I can now slowly migrate services away from my main workstation

Seeking an actual history lesson here, as someone who didn't live through it. Why is the Cold War not considered another World War?

"What kind of salary are you looking for" the one you put in the job description. The salary that you specifically put in the job description that I read to apply to the job. That's the salary I'm looking for. The one you manually entered and reviewed in the job description before submitting the […]

Currently helping an elderly family friend figure out if an email is a scam (which it obviously is) and hey, people who make mobile email apps, it's a dark pattern to not make the email address of the sender visible without needing to click on the little arrow thing.

Just thought you should know.

I would like to state for the record that I am a one-boxer

Well damn, looks like Duolingo pulled the undocumented API I was using for time tracking. I don't know when I will have time to rewrite that. Ugh.

Anyone aware of a library or guide or something? If not, I'll wait til other shit is solved.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this Monday's post may need to be delayed. My sincere apologies for the tardiness.

@august@chaos.social as for the icons, it's a blog rather than a formal paper, since I don't have results quite strong enough for that yet. Since it's web-native, I want to still have that feel. Highlighting it visually also makes it easier for me to edit. The icons just sorta come with the […]

@august@chaos.social I suppose I should learn what that purpose is, then. Thank you. I am fairly amateur in this field in terms of best practices.

I don't have a lot of icons at my disposal without custom styling. I am willing to do that if these are a bad fit.

A screenshot of test in dark mode. It has 3 highlighted blocks, each with a title and a different color/icon. The text says: Conjecture 1.0.0 I will note conjectures like this. Each will come with an ID consisting of three parts: a series index, a definition index, and a count. As an example, if I were to make a conjecture about definition 2 in this post, I would write it as “Conjecture 1.2.1”, indicating it is in the first post, the second definition, and the first conjecture of that definition. Theorem 1.0.0 Theorems will be identified like so, and given IDs similar to conjectures. I will always use theorem, even if lemma may be more appropriate, for the sake of consistency. Hint Possible leads to investigate will be marked as hints.

Is this a good way to notate levels of confidence for a series of #math articles?

How terrible of an idea is it to bridge email to XMPP? It might be nice to trick myself into thinking they are "just messages" or something

Sent to sensitivity readers. Got an immediate response from one, which makes me very happy

[writing update, proud]

Screenshots taken, so I just have a couple paragraphs before it's ready for the sensitivity readers. If they give the all-clear, it's basically ready for editing. Backup entry prepared in case that isn't done on time. I'm still kinda shocked that people are volunteering […]

Draft for next Monday isn't quite ready, but I am almost set to send it to some volunteer sensitivity readers. Never done that before, so I don't know what the timeline on it looks like. I have a backup for if that process goes on too long, and it's nearly ready because I am adapting prior […]

Whoever invented pop up ads on gas station pumps should be shamed and ostracized from civilized society.

Literally not even letting me press cancel as my card info is just sitting in the system but also not letting me pump gas.

For your dumb and lighthearted stat of the day: I pooped exactly 50 times in February. That is 2 more than my partner. I don't know why we are keeping track of this like it's a contest 🤣

Unattributed meme. A nine-square alignment chart, featuring signs. Going left to right, and then top to bottom: Done with this shit / I have questions : sign riveted into a tree in a forest reads "Your GPS is wrong turn around" Done with this shit / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "128 persons have drowned in this lake. 2 wearing a life jacket. 126 not wearing a life jacket." Done with this shit / Vivid: sign reads "Danger, not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying" Ominous / I have questions: sign reads, " if you can read this you're in range" Ominous / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "Warning! Evacuate the island if you hear 8 short blasts" Ominous / Vivid: sign showing a palm tree and three people being chased by flying black circles, reads "Beware falling coconuts" Do not test the gods / I have questions: sign reads, "if elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after" Do not test the gods / Disturbingly specific: sign reads "road may be subject to sudden catastrophic sinkhole collapse" Do not test the gods / vivid: sign crushed by falling rock reads "Falling rock"

Good morning
