I am entirely lost but in general I'd say that Haskell can be improved by anything which makes it MORE WORDY. Haskell gurus are so quick to have incredibly complex things with small names and arcane symbols and nearly no documentation. Makes it very hard to follow.

TTOTD: When your body-battery score has been below 50% for over a week, don't go "wahey, it's 52% I'll run a half marathon today" -- I hurt and I had to walk from 20km :(

The rise in popularity of f-strings is another nail in Python's coffin for me :/

With thanks to @oli_obk and much combination trepidation/joy, I have just pushed 0.8.0 of the @rustlang pandoc crate to crates.io. One or two quality of life changes, will need a bit of care around OutputKind::File when updating, otherwise you should be fine.

Yes, I think if more snaps might need it, then the `snap install core` was non-obvious, at least to me, as a way to fix snapd

@zygoon I can't `snap install snapcraft` on my Debian buster box because it needs 2.39 and buster has 2.37. What's the *right* way to update snapd on a Buster install?

I am currently doing a victory dance for getting a test to pass - my Friday off is very unfortunate :D

Right, rewritten the offensive bit of code. (And yes, I did mean offensive, not just offending :/) Now to run the full test suite and find out which tests should not be passing...

Code review is one place where I find it much easier to be objective. It's things like people saying daft things on IRC/Twitter that I have difficulty not reacting to.

Is it too late for new-years resolutions? If not, I hereby resolve to try harder to not gut-react to things, and to do more deleting of the first one or five responses I write to things which make me emotional in any way.

One of the things which depresses me / makes me anxious these days is the fact that despite hating them and most of what they do, I benefit from the tories because I'm in that demographic. Ugh :(

Seriously wondering what it'd take to convince @rjek to move to New Zealand once global movement becomes possible once more.

It me! Though with my glasses I could function well enough to get to an optician for the most part. Without my inhalers, I'm minutes/hours from death with the risk of being unable to do anything to signal for help to solve that. I'd like to think I'm useful though?

Hopefully this will increase the quality of drive-by PRs. Sometimes they can be more work than they're worth :(
