Yeah tuns (a word well known to homebrewers) is not as esoteric as yttria (a word known to.. chemists?)

> so hit play on sandstorm

For a brief hopeful moment, I thought this was the .io kind of sandstorm

I'm feeling nostalgic for ~1998 when I ran xscreensaver hacks in the background on the root X window (so the "desktop" I guess)

There's a greentext that's been floating around for a while, I don't know the original author and can't remember the exact text to search for it, but it's along the lines of

> my deepest fantasy is that one day I'll be in the hospital for some random thing, they'll take blood for some test, and then when they read the results, their eyes will go wide and they'll call for a consult. The other doctor will read the results and say "you don't have the nutrient?! How do you live? You're so brave". They give me a shot, and just like that, I'm able to conduct myself in society, understand social cues, hold my attention on anything i want for any length of time, etc

... so perhaps the Nutrient is a product of a gut bacterium.

The story for sensitive/proprietary repositories doesn't feel well-fleshed-out yet:

> Radicle supports private repositories that are only shared among a trusted set of peers, not the entire network. These are not encrypted at rest but rely on selective replication and are thus completely invisible to the rest of the network.

There's no structural separation of public / private repositories; this is one bug or fat-finger away from a leak.

I was looking into how to get a radicle node running, but connected to only my own devices.

You can't seem to start the radicle node without it automatically connecting to the (generously provided) global shared seed nodes, and you can't examine/change the config without starting the node (at least with rad subcommands).

If you do `rad auth` and then delete the four seed addresses from ~/.radicle/config.json before starting the rad node, it helpfully re-adds them on startup:

  [...]
  INFO  node     Opening node database..                                                                                                                                                                           
  INFO  node     Address book is empty. Adding bootstrap nodes..                                                                                                                                                   
  INFO  node     4 nodes added to address book
  [...]
(It doesn't add the bootstrap nodes if I instead add a seed "<randomDID>@10.254.254.254:8776".)

Is there a guide to using Radicle like one might use Fossil within a small company / within a small group of people (disconnected from the iris/rosa radicle.network seeds)?

My idea of the term "bleeding heart" is more like "painfully aware of the plight of people (and often wants to make sure you're also painfully aware of it)", whereas the author's tone struck me as simply charity, and I enjoyed it as such.

Tarsnap has you put money into a stored balance, and when that balance goes to zero (and after a grace period), they delete your backups.

Not exactly a subscription since it's a stored-balance system, but still.

Right, but you can use a different (codegen) model to make that code.

Nearly every brand on the "approved" list is outerwear, hiking equipment, knives, tools, and "EDC" gear.

Is this because of the Palantir / techbro culture that the author is immersed in, or for some systemic or economic reason?

> Most engineers do not know this number.

How could they not? When I penciled this out ~18 years ago, I included the amortized cost of all the interviews it took to hire a given engineer as well. It's not rocket surgery, as they say.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

The clearest demonstration that the knife edge is dumb is that there isn't a similar sharp edge around the exterior.

I'm reminded by the caveman skill of the clipped writing style used in telegrams, and your post further reminded me of "standard" books of telegram abbreviations. Take a look at [0]; could we train models to use this kind of code and then decode it in the browser? These are "rich" tokens (they succinctly carry a lot of information).

thither is one of the only words in the english language that has the ablative case marked on it

When you're killing (C-u, C-k, C-w, etc) + yanking (C-y), you can also use yank-pop (bound to M-y in bash and zsh by default) to replace the thing you just yanked with the thing you had killed before it.

  $ asdf<C-w>
  $                  # now kill ring is ["asdf"]
  $ qwerty<C-a><C-k>
  $                  # now kill ring is ["qwerty", "asdf"]
  $ <C-y>            # "yank", pastes the thing at the top of the kill ring
  $ qwerty<M-y>      # "yank-pop", replaces the thing just yanked with the next
                     # thing on the ring, and rotates the ring until the next yank
  $ asdf
