Brendan enjoyed the snowfall these past few days

My beige flag is if someone is sharing their screen in a meeting I will 110% be looking at their bookmarks

With a 7 month old it's a mixed bag going from working fully remote to working hybrid, but the deal is made less disheartening by getting to bike and/or bus to work when necessary ✊ 🚲

Also, since I'm working with a more global team instead of a US west-coast team, I end up working and going home earlier so I do end up get more time in the evening with the little man 😊

Happy to share that I started working with Open Source full time this month, as I joined Red Hat at the beginning of January! Opinions are still my own (possibly even more my own 😜) but I'm excited to work for a company which has been Open Source from the beginning 😀

@overholt So this what they mean when they say "become un-governor-able"

@b0rk Tangent, but "Simple tools that work well" reminded me of a utility I recently discovered and seems up your alley: GNU Units, which ships as `units` with NetBSD, FreeBSD, and MacOS at least, converts units of measurement and Just Works. It's pretty great

@fasterthanlime I believe the german word for Google's design, though not as precise as one would hope, is "scheisse"

@MarsBotExplorer I legit thought this was a meme where Curiosity took a picture of a Stamp Rally pad from Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

@jond Do you know of any downsides to getting something like a 6022BE?

Whereas something like this oscilloscope seems like a higher quality option, though on the large side (the "hobby closet" real estate is in short supply). TBH though not even sure where to begin in assessing if a given make+model holds up.

Something like this portable oscilloscope seems suitable, but the price is suspicious and I don't love that it uses a lithium battery

Oh, my use case is to for hobby electronics and circuits, with possibly some hardware hacking.

Anyone have recommendations/advice for an affordable oscilloscope? I don't know enough to be picky, but I think my requirements would be:
- No bigger than a large toaster (smaller is better)
- ideally less than $100
- ideally supporting signal output
- No strong sample-rate requirements
- bonus: energy efficient
- bonus: multiple inputs (possible on analog?)
- bonus: analog (cool factor)
- bonus: builtin power supply

I've seen some portable ones on Ebay for <$50 but that seems sketchy

Someone should study the implications of when one is in a stage of life in which they only ever need/use bowls to eat

The ratio of bowls to plates a person uses over the course of a week has to have meaning

There's a lot of stuff I don't like about Golang, but the most grating thing is zero values. Truly a goated design mishap

@moshboy This image nostalgia sniped me so hard

To `if`, or to `if not`, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The tabs and spaces of outrageous nesting,
Or to make returns amidst a sea of code,
And by returning end execution: to die, to exit
