Elizabeth AyerOn the plus side, at least future generations won't have the cognitive skills to judge us harshly.

x0rOh, so it seems you can use #Emacs and #Lisp to create electronic music. How cool is that?
The screenshot below is taken from a news report about the latest concerts from #Kraftwerk. It’s unclear whether Kraftwerk actually makes their music in Emacs and Lisp but at least the tooling exists.

Waldo JaquithYou know how people want raw economic data? As a CSV file. Some folks might want it as an Excel file. Maybe a few as a SQLite file, if it's a really big collection of data. In every case, they want it on a webpage at a stable URL, retrieved by HTTP. That's it. This is very easy.

𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not yet begun to fight"Okay. I'm a teacher, so let me say this in a way everybody can understand.
If you ask me for $5 and I say no, but you take it out of my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If you ask me for $5 and I'm too drunk to either say yes or no, but you take $5 from my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If I give $5 to your friend, so you decide that gives you the right to take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If I gave $5 to you yesterday, so you decide to take $5 out of my purse today, that's stealing.
If I'm flashing hundred dollar bills on the street, just really flaunting how much money I have, so you decide to take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If I tell you I'll give you $5, but then, while reaching into my purse to get it, I change my mind and say actually no, but you decide to take the $5 anyway, that's stealing.
If you hold a gun to my head and force me to give you $5, even if I physically reach into my purse and hand you the $5 without another word, that's stealing.
If no one has ever given you $5, and you can see I have extra money in my purse, so you take $5, that's stealing.
If we're married, and you ask for $5 and I say no, but you decide to take $5 out of my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If you say "God gave me $5" and then take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If you're my boss, and you tell me you'll fire me if I don't give you $5 right now, that's stealing.
If you want $5, and I reach in my purse and only give you $1, but you reach in while the purse is open and take $5 anyway, that's stealing.
If you pretend to be my friend in the hopes that being my friend will someday lead to me deciding to give you $5, you aren't actually my friend. And if you take the $5 you were expecting to get for pretending to be my friend, that's stealing.
The reason all men can easily understand this, and that there are no "grey areas" in stealing $5, is that men value $5 more than they value a woman's body.

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).
So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

Oh, this is interesting (and a little scary)
