An incredibly useful feature with an absolutely unhinged list of objects.

every chat protocol made after IRC persistently keeps you in your chat rooms, even when you’re not connected to the server at the moment. this is generally considered to be a good thing

however, consider: this removes the peak comedy of someone saying “let me try this out real quick” and getting loudly kicked out of the room by their own OOM killer taking exception to an unchecked memory leak.

so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not

ok that's a new one. the documentation section of the SVN project page tells you to go buy a manual (or consult an out dated excessively verbose online book)
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/

i thought ok maybe they're just selling books to fund the project~~NO the "purchase" link just points to i shit you not a google search for "site:amazon.com Subversion version control"

*(and Denton By-election)

One of these days I'll figure out what the right incantation on the JLC order form is to get a reasonably sized stencil, rather than one I end up having to cut down, thus both ruining its flatness and also being likely to injure me

This thought brought to you by two separate trips upstairs to apply a plaster, and also having a clamp on a desk trying to get the stencil more flat again

I do like the difference between, say, Digikey orders and CPC ones. Digikey gives you printed labels with 2D barcodes and everything, CPC is a handwritten label with the product code and count and hopefully you can read what the digits are

OneShortEye made a full documentary about The Phantom Fellows, and seeing the whole journey laid out like that is so surreal. From the first spark of an idea to actually shipping the game, it’s all there. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHSJZb9vl9w&t=1398s
