I stumbled across this guy who makes old-school Jungle using period equipment… including Octamed on Commodore Amigas. It's been my morning soundtrack https://n4records.bandcamp.com/album/pete-cannon-the-8bit-lick-e-p-n4011 #music
Gah my Prusa Mini has been really unreliable of late: prints getting all gummed up. I've cleaned the nozzle. I *feel* like this is only since introducing input shaping and the other new stuff #3dprinting

@Migueldeicaza Hi! Am I remembering correctly that you had a custom wooden desk with a cable channel etc in it and blogged about it? If so, is that stuff still up somewhere? Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a service to get a 'virtual' US phone number? Something I can put into forms that require a US number. I'm not in the US. Nice to have: voicemail, SMS, receive calls somehow (voip? app?) TIA!

@baldur my local electronics store (wonderful place) maintains two entirely separate websites, the older one a more traditional reproduction of a catalogue, the newer one “e-commerce”
@dougmerritt @nixCraft I’d quite like to see more sites block gmail and find out what happens tbh
Would you argue that Python 3 isn’t Python?
It’s definitely not Python 2, and should not be (IMHO) /usr/bin/python. So it really depends on the context. Python-the-project, python-the-language, python-the-binary, etc.
Similarly it’s no surprise people still stumble over what is referred to by the label “CentOS”.
@edavies @DamonHD @neil I didn't know about paged feeds/RFC 5005, very interesting, thank you. Sadly even if e.g. FreshRSS supported it, FreshRSS's poor behaviour with new feeds (all entries are considered 'new', drowning out the recent timeline) could carry across if it just walked the links. So it's orthogonal to that problem (but I agree useful for the bandwidth problem)
@neil @edavies I was surprised to discover that FreshRSS (I'd wager one of the most popular readers these days) still handles this badly: if I added your feed to my instance, you'd drown out all other feeds in the recent list. I don't know why FreshRSS does this, rather than honour the entry dates; perhaps it's configurable. But if other readers behave similarly, that's one reason to avoid having huge lists of entries in feeds.
This excellent article about clojure programming has got me thinking; is neovim/lua there yet? https://lambdaisland.com/blog/2017-12-29-the-bare-minimum-clojure-mayonnaise
It's BBC 6 Music's T-Shirt day today: I never remember about it, but coincidentally I've got my Bauhaus tee on today
