@jbcrawford @PolyWolf "Adirondack chairs aren't even, like, a thing here." yeah the clue's in the name :)

@14mission @knapjack Results speak for themselves, I think -- it's fantastic!

My favorite cyanotype experiment was a white t-shirt. It works pretty well, my only recommendation would be to do a digital negative and tweak it so it fades to fully transparent around the edges, otherwise you end up with an odd sharp border around the edge of the image.

@knapjack @14mission That came out great! Did you print from a film negative, or make a digital negative? I've tried the latter a few times but my laser printer doesn't do a great job. And even 120 film doesn't make especially big images, so I haven't tried using a "real" negative.

@quantsini Cinnamon, star anise, ginger, cardamom, fennel, clove... why not?

@amszmidt @larsbrinkhoff You're right, I shouldn't have classified it as strictly tiling, rather that it has features for tiling which are prominently available.

Makes sense that it was probably inspired at least in part by emacs. I'm not especially familiar with Smalltalk preceding Smalltalk-80, did they have similarly tiling-friendly options?

Tiling also just makes sense from the POV of getting maximum use out of the pixels on your screen

@robpike I use KeePassXC for password storage and TOTP. Works well enough and you just have a DB file you can sync however you prefer

@jbcrawford Glad to hear it's on an upward trajectory again. I went to Two Fools exactly once because it was just too busy every other time. There was a two-story restaurant/bar not too far away that had pretty good wings and you could always get a seat, I preferred that.

@jbcrawford Nob Hill area can be pretty a e s t h e t i c but it's a shame to see those presumably broken windows. My brother tells me it's gotten pretty rough again down there.

@jbcrawford i prefer the Scylding department of wights and meadhalls

There's no Javascript in the whole thing, by the way. That means the page might show the wrong song for a bit until it autorefreshes (every 60s, for now) but it keeps everything real simple.

Working with just basic HTML and CSS means it does fine on very limited browsers, too.

@cks It's absolutely trivial to whip up a little wrapper around https://github.com/pquerna/otp. You could even just hardcode the secret into your source if you prefer.

@knapjack I think so. It's not magic, but it is good and worthwhile. The tools are different and can be obtuse for someone coming from another language. It took me quite a while to figure out how to get any value out of the debugger, for example. Programming Go in my day job, I find Quicklisp kinda lacking when compared to the go modules tooling.

Documentation for libraries, even widely-used libraries, can sometimes be so sparse (just a list of function names, go read the source if you want to know what they mean) as to be essentially useless. And maybe McCLIM is extremely obvious to those deeply steeped in Lisp, but goddamn if it's not a challenge for plebs like myself.

Despite those gripes, I try to write Common Lisp code for little side projects when I can. I recently tried making a website with caveman2 and found it really easy to build a JSON API w/ a database backend plus templates to populate HTML. That's a big part of my day job in Go, and I'd rate the two options at a very similar level of ease and effort.

@cks THIS INCIDENT WILL BE REPORTED

@knapjack @DorotheaLange You'll still see a scene much like that outside the Baughman's in Livermore to this day. Here's a photo I took circa 2012.

@larsbrinkhoff @dpk He tried really hard to inflict some ITS stuff on us too, though -- remember when all the GNU man pages were little stubs pointing you at the goddamn info system?

@cks @Talen_Lee Job sounds interesting but I'm worried you might implement a RTO (Return To Orlop) policy which would be a deal-breaker.

@jbcrawford Sorry to hear Shooting Range Park is in bad shape, I always really admired it when I lived in the area. Nice and big, not expensive, and they were pretty good about enforcing safety whenever I visited.

I loved the Bosque trails, both on foot and on a bicycle, and I'd hate to see them turn into unofficial OHV parks where a kid can't safely walk... so I'm really glad to hear you don't think that will happen! You're right that there's plenty of space elsewhere that's way more conducive anyway.

@jbcrawford Is there any enforcement at all? Here in the SF area it's assholes going 35 on electric dirtbikes (with fig-leaf pedals) all over the walking trails, sidewalks, etc.

@jbcrawford heck yeah (apologies for the minimal color processing post-scan)
