I wonder which subway station has the longest contiguous run of letter in its transfer?

ie West 4th has A B C D E F trains in it so its got a run of 6

@technomancy omg that's so whack. programs should not beep at me unless they're literally a synthesizer software.

if your REPL doesnt accept <ctrl-c> as the command to quit it's an awful REPL

LOOKING AT YOU PYTHON
(i have literally always hated python)

node you're not getting off easy, why on gods green earth you you make me type it twice

Lua my beloved,,,,
thank you.

perl! perl you did it I'm so proud

I don't have ruby installed apparently but iirc it's fine

Please observe this Windows 95 Video Guide starring Jennifer Aniston and Mathew Perry who are basically just doing a watered down version of their characters from friends but talking about how to operate a computer:

Why did microsoft make this? Why did these two agree to be in it??? How much did they charge for it????

But the hand that feeds me is so cute
*bites*

@technomancy I still set mine to the top. Old habits and such

The list of features I actually want in a watch:

• time and date (duh)
• radio time sync
• sunrise/sunset times (these can be based on the TZ city I select, my casio already knows I'm in NYC, the rest is just math)
• timer
• stopwatch
• does not look like a cluttered transformer toy

features I want if it's "smart"

• alerts from my calendar app
• TZ and sun times are set via GPS
• (optional) silly little custom faces that are easy to implement yourself

that's it. I do not want apps, advertising, personal data mining, or literally any of the other shit that's actually in smart watches

How to pick a configuration language according to me:

• If you're horny for markdown pick yaml
• if you still like .ini files but wanna hang with the cool kids pick toml
• if you just want it to work pick json

the longer i spend with doses (my project for sending sections of code out of vim and into strange bits of software) the more i realize it may be one of my most blursed computer crimes

like I really thought "you know what I need? I need pretend nvim is a REPL"

think I can import the masto-most-followed list as a block list?

the art of catching a large promise from a tiny little await in a big async function.

i will never not be bummed that the web runs on javascript instead of lua.
we could have had stackfull coroutines instead of promises
