Winding down after a long long day, with an Amundsen Dessert in a Can - Rocky Road Ice Cream. It has no fancy self-description, so I'mma say it's tasty beer and leave it at that.
"Freeze your eggs!" they said - "You'll thank yourself in the future" they said. I bet they weren't referring to my lunch though. Turns out frozen hard-boiled-eggs are not nice (TM)

progress in type systems marches inexorably forward, ruling out broader and broader classes of programs as bad. one day, type systems research will achieve the ultimate goal: to conclusively establish that all programs are bad

Having run out of brain finally, beer and Netflix is pretty much all I can manage. Brewdog vs. Evil Twin's Roaster Coaster will keep me company.

took me 5, with a similar pattern too. Sometimes my brain refuses to understand the available words :D
Bad time with be.ev charger in Albert Rd car park. App started charge which died in less than 30s. 40m later the app still insists I have an active session. I tried the contactless which ran for less than half an hour. My guess is that's the ยฃ5 pre-fee only.

(repost) Seeking advice on matrix clients - I would like one which (a) isn't web based (I count electron as web-based) (b) supports SSO login, (c) multiple accounts, and (d) E2E encryption. So far the best I've found is Quaternion, but that lacks (d)

Nice scheme choice. I approve. All my personal kit is named after sleep disorders/related sicknesses. My work kit is named using "meh" words (currently work laptop is 'equanimity')

This evening's drink was Pressure Drop's "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" which is a Maple, coconut, and chocolate Imperial granola stout. It's delish!

Surely someone has come up with a virtual greenscreen thing for OBS under Linux which doesn't involve any of: NodeJS, Downloading binary crap into the build, the NVIDIA AR toolkit (not available afaict), or patching dlib before building. Argh. Halp plx.

Levenshulme @BeEV_Charging in the past 3 months: Dig up Chapel St and the A6, mark wrong parking bays, install charger, unmark wrong bays, dig up Chapel St again, mark right bays, put a rain cover over charger, remove rain cover. You still can't actually charge your car there.

One of our rust team members is in need of urgent support. If your company uses Rust please consider sponsoring them, even one-off sponsorship would help significantly by buying them more time to find stable employment. github.com/sponsors/khionu
I hate sharing it this publicly, but I'm at a critical point... I need to get a contract or hired by the end of next week, or I'll have to move back to TN. Fortunately I haven't started HRT or anything, but that will force putting transitioning off...

Oooh that sounds tasty. I have *so much* beer in stock though, I have a danny-box I'm not sure I've touched yet :D
