Just discovered docker-tramp for Emacs that lets you edit files inside a running Docker container. ❤️❤️❤️
@jk Any engineer who tells you that well-written code is self-documenting has failed to understand the question: code can only tell you _what_ it is doing. It cannot tell you _why_. It cannot answer the fundamental question "what made this design the right choice, as opposed to any other implementation, based on the constraints that existed when we wrote it?" As such, even the best-written code cannot truly "self-document."
Dear magical internet fairies, I want a site for collaborative editing of markdown documents that syncs with git(hub?) and tracks changes using criticmarkup.

Machine translation is not at all like human translation. I guess we're soon going to have some data points on intelligence being "emergent".
friends, having a tool that isn't dependent on your local laptop to "deploy to production" is a big deal.
Back in #singapore. Hor Fun at Mei Ling market!
If you use one account for everything, you may not be seeing the full breadth of Mastodon. Get an account on an art instance, watch the cool art fly by the local timeline. Get an account on a French instance, bone up on your high school French. Make an instance for your coworkers, talk shop.
I don't wear swim trunks to work, I don't wear a suit to the pub, and I don't wear cargo shorts to my sister's wedding. Apply that to Mastodon and you might find it's quite natural. Decentralize yourself! 😁
Newbie tip: if you haven't taken a moment, search for "#introduction" and say hi to some other new people, even if you don't know them or they're on other instances!
One thing that surprised me about Mastodon is the culture of kindness and friendliness here. I've promoted it to many people by saying "friendly randos will welcome you, and 'friendly randos' is not a contradiction on Mastodon." Let's help keep that true! 😁
@chrishawes I'm in the market for a cheap phone with stock Android too. Nokia 6 looks nice. Any other recommendations?
