@InterzoneMag Hi! Did the IZ Story Club replace the IZ Discord? I've only just noticed it's not in my Discord server list. Thanks

@fraggle @mwl I feel this in my bones at the moment

@sil I feel you, been through this myself recently. Really frustrating. Related frustration: device-to-device restore failed for unknown reasons three times in a row. Backup to and restore from iCloud (with the two things sat in the sofa next to each other) worked.

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.

Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.

Specialises in debugging.

Today I wanted to try some coding but I got a surprise cannula and couldn’t type, so I pen & papered it.

@mjg59 long covid in a can?

Anyone had a root canal? How long did it take from beginning to end?

@lproven it was a gift so I’m not sure what they paid for it luckily. I’m not prepared to risk it out and about commuting etc which is why I haven’t read it yet

@lproven I think I’m up to speed on fiction but not non-fiction. I’ve got this lovely thing on my shelf to read eventually https://www.kimstanleyrobinson.info/content/stans-kitchen

@lproven “What good climate-collapse SF should I be reading? “ pretty much all of KSR’s other novels! New York 2140 and Aurora are recent faves; going back a bit there’s the green earth trilogy and stories like “Venice drowned”

Hit me up with your summer holiday reading recommendations!

I've been playing with TreeSitter a little bit, which is quite interesting. In particular a Markdown parser for it. The parser has decided to split itself into two parsers (following CommonMark parsing suggestion): first Block, then Inline. However, lots of useful TreeSitter stuff cannot span that boundary automatically. E.g. TreeSitter queries. So if you want to find an anchor inside a header, you've got to write two queries. Frustrating.

@mhoye The graph/pic doesn't say so, but, is this just EV sales data for the other companies?

@mhoye nope. Phew :)

@mhoye i have absolutely no idea how often my reader pulls your feed. Perhaps I’d better take a look…

Debian to the moon! 🚀

@pwaring oh that’s bad. I agree it’s likely got worse :( your MPhil sounds interesting. Is it public?
