I really need to see if there is an active #OpenStreetMap community in my city. Having made it my quarantine exercise over several weeks to walk or cycle around with #StreetComplete for a couple of hours most days, I now have over 1500 solved quests and am running out of the easy stuff. I need someone to discuss the finer points of mapping philosophy with, and to explain to me how a mere mortal is supposed to use the "opening_hours" tag.

@msh @cwebber @stevefoerster Only if the attacker brute-forces character by character instead of word by word.

I'm not claiming that every little free software project has to have a CI system and full test coverage to catch every single regression. I am, however, claiming that publishing a stable release of a security-critical piece of software containing syntax errors in the default configuration files does not inspire confidence.

Arrrgh, #Python. I was wondering why my timestamps were parsed wrong. I was using the datetime.strptime() format code %Z, documented as "Time zone name (empty string if the object is naive)".But what it *actually* does is check that it is given a valid time zone name, then throw that information away and return a naive datetime object anyway.If you want to use time zone information, use "+HHMM" and parse it with "%z". Alternatively, throw Python into the fiery pits of Hell where it belongs.

I have a hard time flying intercontinentally because I can't fall asleep sitting in a seat. And then there's this #mastocat.

@cy What really annoys me is this:Python:A string without an encoding has no meaning. We'll spend a decade making unpopular incompatible changes to the language to enforce this. Yes, we know that every sane encoding at least treats 7-bit ASCII the same. No, you cannot take advantage of that, even if you know your toy problem will stay within that range.Also Python:Time zones are just, like, your opinion, man. Have time stamps without time zones. No worries. We'll figure something out.

@BalooUriza @cy C is fine. Its ubiquity means that everyone's at least picked up enough of it to get by through cultural osmosis, and its weird corners are well known by now.But I would really be happy if I could find someone willing to pay me to write Ruby. Unfortunately, all everyone wants is Python.

@cy @BalooUriza I find the main benefits of Ruby to be:1) The language encourages a coding style that I find extremely easy to read and write. Higher-order functions, method chaining, and the safe traversal operator just naturally lead to really nice clean code (especially with my LISP hat on).

@cy @BalooUriza 2) The run-time introspection and dynamicism facilities are simple and supported as first-class features. Want to call a function based on its string name, change the behaviour of a built-in class, or mock an interface for testing? All extremely simple and well-supported. Try to do the same in Python and you're quickly bogged down in implementation details, weird syntax and nonstandard libraries.

Apparently, the only ones buying podcast ads for my demographic this week is an insurance company selling child insurance to new parents. Which means that my long walk today was interrupted every fifteen minutes by the sound of a crying infant.At least I now know which company not to buy insurance from. Fuck you, #TryggHansa. Fuck you with a rusty rake.

@fraggle Someone who knew that a name like "Hellvetica" must be saved for true evil.

Whoever calibrated the fire alarm in my apartment obviously had a deficient understanding of the concept of "frying".At leats I have windows on opposite sides of the building, so cycling air through to reduce the fog to acceptable levels was quick.

@Azure 3D wireframe, but it's the early 80s and computers aren't up to it yet, so you end up building a physical model, painting the corners phosphorescent green, and filming it in the dark:https://beforesandafters.com/2021/07/12/escape-from-new-york-at-40-how-those-cg-glider-graphics-were-actually-achieved-with-physical-models/

I have signed up for @nywolforg's #RunLikeAWolf challenge. My vacation time is not as advantageously allotted as last year, but two weeks should be plenty of time for 322km.Because unlike wolves, I intend to take advantage of my bipedal stance, opposable thumbs, and mastery of fire to exercise by bicycle, not on foot.Well, unlike *most* wolves.🐺: @cooknmonster@twitter.com🎨: @Azuza___@twitter.com🚴: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43494150
