I have finally been to a Waffle House. It was much as I had been told. I observed how the cook processed orders and repeated them back to the server, the dual fuel range, the constant cleaning. I was fully dressed, wasn’t drunk, didn’t fight anyone in the parking lot and there was no hurricane so some might argue that I haven’t had the full experience yet.

I regularly disagree with both the OOP purists AND the composition-over-inheritance folks. Functional versus imperative styles too, though nobody is really arguing for imperative programming supremacy.

Frankly, every programming "revolution" since structured programming has been too dogmatic.

Popular culture is fascinated by disfunction and dystopia. It is not creative to foresee the worst becoming mundane; inevitability is a lie that leads only to despair. You have hopes and dreams for a brighter future; imagine them fulfilled as the bricks and beams building a better world.

Pushback is important. Don't be a one-issue complainer, there is lots to complain about.

It turns out that perfection requires the right attitude and is still difficult. Conversely, disaster can be achieved with hardly any effort or with a bad attitude literally no effort at all.

So, to enable full keyboard access of applications on #MacOS you have to enable multiple settings in both #accessibility and keyboard. Oh, and there are even more settings inside of an 🛈. So disappointed. Also, the arrow key modifiers which work in text fields don't work outside of text fields. No jumping to end, or start of list.

Some of the perennial flowers in my front garden beds are bulbs that I got from one of my great aunts. Nobody knew that, but now you do.

My family has propagated a bunch of plants, some for more than 100 years. Grandma's peonys were originally her grandmother's peonys. The same lilacs, hydrangeas, raspberries, peonys and irises propagated across multiple human generations. We don't know how far back it goes for some of these, we've lost who in the family first cultivated these plants.

I have been doing the 1001-album challenge for a couple of months. (https://1001albumsgenerator.com/) Even though I thought that I listen widely I am finding that I don't have context for a lot of the music, how it fits in to the other music of the time or what it impact it had on future music. And some of it is just bad.
