fd --glob "*.fnl" | each cat @ | rg -v '^$' | wc -l

Yeah, I know there's a way to convince xargs to do the same thing, but it's also got a lot of other things going on, this seems easier to remember

Like, it's an electronic lullaby of sorts, but it's also about all of the thoughts that pile up at the end of the day, as your mind struggles to let go and surrender to the night.

"Sign me to sleep"

"If the bough breaks, what can we keep?"

I bring this up because a lot of discussions around JS library size don't have a scale you can quite see. Admiral Grace Hopper talked about carrying a nanosecond, I feel like being able to point at 4.6kb might be handy.]]> 0th notions : 5 https://junglecoder.com/notions.html#i-am-become-jwz https://junglecoder.com/notions.html#i-am-become-jwz Sun, 29 Sep 2024 22:59:19 MDT POSSE seems pretty attractive now that my online Posting Spots outside of the fediverse are being actively burned to cinders by billionaires, or else schedule for soon demolition/shutdown. ]]> 0th notions : 4 https://junglecoder.com/notions.html#brain-taped-warning-light https://junglecoder.com/notions.html#brain-taped-warning-light Sun, 29 Sep 2024 11:29:37 MDT If you grew up without the permission to say no to doing a lot of things things, and you're up against a tremedous challenge, and your motivation is "I'm just doing what I have to", and people can't fathom that?

That's a sign that you've likely taped over a lot of warning lights in your brain and/or are running on War Emergency Power.

Getting some relief and/or mental health intervention should be a high priority.

Of course, it's one of those irritating "you have the order of the date and the month swapped". Will we tell you this? lol, no, "date is invalid" is all you get, figure it out yourself!

So, the date format I have working right now is 

"%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z"
in Janet (via mendoza), which uses C's strftime. So that's been fun.

Mastodon nerds, this is an urgent message: please keep nerding out on things you are passionate about and then taking us along on your deep dives. Share your pics and discoveries. Muse. Show us dust motes and explain how you learned that no two are the same. A passionate engagement with the beauty and weirdness of the world we have is a hope project. It is a meaning-making project. It is a resistance project.
