Thanks to @digiglean and @realpython for a fun interview about Python history and the PSF. realpython.com/podcasts/rpp/22

@danyork so you buy another one then once you’re done you put it away in a place you’ll remember next time and find the previous five you’ve bought each time you needed one.

I do miss Flash sometimes

Exactly 20 years and 20 minutes ago, this happened.

I feel seen

ADHD Gothic: Listening to a podcast and realize you
weren't paying attention to a bit. You go back 30 seconds but somehow yet again you zone out for the specific
bit you missed last time. You are now serious about getting it this time, you pause the tv you were watching in the background while listening and close the text you were
typing at the same time. Now it's just you and the podcast. You go back 30 seconds, and hit play. It's just 30 seconds of focusing, you tell yourself, you can do this. Suddenly you realize that thinking about wanting to hear the podcast has distracted you
from hearing the actual bit.
You go back 30 seconds.

I don't even want to know

That part of bug triage where you say "oh that's easy; I'll just fix that now" and then you realize it's in a regex and one wrong move could accidentally summon Cthulhu or something and you decide someone else should fix it.

@maureen it made me want a kumquat so the end justifies the means maybe?

@miss_jwo oh ugh, I’m glad you’re feeling better. And omg congratulations, right? I’m so far behind but you’re pregnant? You will be such an awesome mother.

Just dealing with that overwhelming wave of shame which comes from realising I pronounced a word wrong in a meeting a few years ago and how are you?

Going through my old Glitch projects and found this goofy lightning talk generator for a WP meetup a few years ago wp-hooked-randoms.glitch.me/ Topics are a wee bit out of date 😁#wordpress

I don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.

It's normal to have a favorite index entry, right? #index

Photo of a page from a reference book highlighting an index entry that reads, "Sea water, see Water, sea." At the far right edge of the page an image of the spine of the book is superimposed reading "CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics — 63rd Edition 1982-1983 — CRC Press"

So, I know lots of people are wary of self promoting #OnHere, but one of the best things about the bird was finding out what everyone was doing.

Selfishly, I *desperately* want to read your papers and blog posts and add books to my TBR piles and find out when you're at a conference or on the radio or launching a pilot or whatever it is you do. Please keep sharing that - with a CW if necessary and plenty of hashtags to make it discoverable.

#MASTODONTIPS HUGE THREAD!

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it. 😁👍

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. 👍🏼

I know we’re always taking infosec but here’s a small blip away for a sec.

Ever mix a cup of
🥛 milk
🥤 cup of OJ
1 tsp of vanilla extract + 1 TBSP of sugar?

No?

Hear me out.

It’s a 🇩🇴 milkshake like beverage called Morir Soñando, direct translation die dreaming & it’s so yummy.

Here’s how to make it.

Take these ingredients and pour them into a jar or a blender, one at a time k (Milk, OJ, vanilla & sugar. Ice is optional but I like adding it). You can also add a bit more sugar if you like your drinks a bit sweeter.

If pouring into a jar: cover & give it a brisk shake

If into a blender: Blend for about 60 seconds

Pour in a tall glass. DRANK IT😋

@tnash I would love any of these talks, maybe a custom written vulnerable plugin on a site people could live-hack then go through how to secure. (I love me a good flow chart too)

@revdancatt Oh good. I really miss the US system of getting an unconditional offer in the first half of your senior year of high school then coasting through the rest of it. (Viel Glück to Max) 🙂
