@moira that looks like Spring pin.

I think putting a bolt in there could be okay, but spring pin could be reused or replaced.

Now waiting for someone to win a sex-pest lawsuit and get their settlement paid with a 20-foot container of NVidia GPUs.

An amazing thing about being on a vessel like that is that you can stand at bridge level and look around you to see about a 25-mile diameter circle of nothing but ocean. While underway, you'll see a completely different circle of ocean every hour. It seems like there's basically infinite ocean out there.

Then you look at a navigation chart, and realize you're traveling along this tiny line and there's soooooooooo much more ocean to either side that you can't see.

And you remember you're only looking at the top, there's a couple miles of it below you....

The ocean is astonishingly, incomprehensibly vast.

shifting to gratitude purposefully:

I have been reading Vaster Than Empires, a sci fi anthology, primarily because I heard about it from Greg Egan and I like reading what he writes. So I'll share some impressions (I'm not even quite done with it, I've been pacing myself a bit to sit with the stories instead of just racing through, which is my more-frequent reading mode)

@moira Ha! That passed over me about 30-ish minutes ago!

The pickiness about digits in names is stupid. I've used digits in my email addresses when someone else had the name I want, so I tack on some digits. I also have 30+ years of career experience and I'm good at what I do.

also I tried making coffee soda but it still gets way too foamy. at least cleaning it up was a lot easier than on a sodastream.

@ai6yr @grammasaurus or something not responsive to levers.

@zzt @Primo yes that's also bri'ish

@K4mpfie Yes! A classic

@jalefkowit Have you read the Tao of Pooh too? It's a delightful wrap on Taoism and Winnie Pooh actually fits it perfectly

hey gaming chair companies

fuck you

also you know what would sell a bunch of chairs? you know those inexpensive VESA hydraulic arms that stay where you put them in mid-air even while holding a relatively heavy monitor?

put 2 of those on the back of the chair, like additional arms. like gigantic versions of soldering helping hands, but for everything

if you do this you will make $2.5 million at least before everyone on Ali rips it off, a sign you’ve succeeded in the furniture business

@stefano and without ai. you should advertise it more.

Continue my study of eXpat as vendored into Papyrix...

There's an XML-Role API. Its implementation consists of several weirdly-written string constants, several callbacks implementing a parsing state-machine.

Then there's an underlying XML tokenizer API including numerous helper macros & functions for handling UTF-8, & to perform text-encoding conversions. There's a parser for simplified-HTML style attributes, more weirdly-written string constants, used in the XML declaration parser.

1/?

There's a scan-ahead to extract the text-encoding.

In a separate sourcecode file there's which, aided by helper macros declaring `case` statements & checking text, there's routines for locating the start & end (or entirety) of different tokens & attributes therein all so the appropriate callback for the current state can be called. Is this what I was seeing in the XML-Role API?

Regardless there's a couple special routines (in their own source code file) for when namespacing is used.

2/2.2!
