“instead of making a solution i actually like, why don’t i just use this existing software that comes pre·installed on like every machine”

the existing software installed on every machine :⁠—
• GNU Make
• libxslt

which is more cursed: my incredibly long‐running projects (that do nothing) where i spend months making negligible changes to increase the exactness of the test suite, or my quick hacked‐together solutions born from impatience that are written entirely in Makefile or XSLT

what if you didn’t explain your word choice, and just did it anyway

had a dream that steve jobs unveiled a new imac which was boxy and had a builtin electric pencil sharpener

it's 02:30 and i should be asleep but i want to be writing XSLT

longer context: after months of the latest version of json-canonicalization being 0.3.2, they decided that was actually a breaking change and DELETED 0.3.2 and published 1.0.0 instead

versions of json-ld (same maintainer) prior to the latest require a version of json-canonicalization >= 0.3.2, < 1.0.0, which of course now no longer exists

bump your json-ld to 3.3.1 and you're good

anyway if you use a Gemfile.lock you should probably just go ahead and update your json-ld to the latest version right now

being mad at the json-canonicalization ruby gem

i’ll take“how to make people feel like they are forming a social bond with you even though you are providing both sides of the conversation” for 1000

need to drive engagement, but giving millions of strangers the ability to submit questions to me with just a few keystrokes is not making numbers go up quickly enough

i know! i will provide them with a list

for selfish reasons i believe this to be true

rationally, if robo-sada is fuckable that implies that sada designed it with the intention of fucking it

“why does my chest hurt?!” *looks over at my girlfriend, who was just gnawing on my tits* oh

some pokémon moves are for interesting competitive play. some pokémon moves are for interesting storytelling. it’s wrong to want to limit the games to just one or the other, i·m·o

and in the context of a video game, where the stakes are very low, it’s nice to have moments where you snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat by hitting a 10 with magnitude

i’m thinking about writing a fanfic about gym leader whitney right now and i gotta say

would i want to play against a clefairy who knows metronome in a high stakes competitive battle? no, of course not

does whitney’s clefairy knowing metronome unlock a whole wealth of narrative potential? absolutely

m8 if u want to be playing chess then just go and play chess

“using a move that a pokémon legitimately learns by levelling up is cheating because i don’t like its effect”
