I was today years old when I discovered that The Presidents Of The United States (the band) covered "Video Killed The Radio Star" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAiGd9nTGmM

I am getting a bunch of new follows lately so I think it's time for another round of this public service announcement:

If you're new to the Fediverse, please, please, fill out your profile and make at least a few posts like what you plan on your "usual" posting being like, before you follow anyone. This is how you show that you are a real person, not a spambot.

hey @GrapheneOS i would like to suggest an additional application containment feature:

some configurable number of hours after the user stopped interacting with an app, kill it and all its background processes, and do not allow it to run at all until the next time it is opened

i think this would make a nice complement to the existing "withdraw privileges from apps not used in a long time" mechanism

Thank you everyone for your input; the tea shop is in fact open on Mondays but I wound up cleaning the dryer vent anyway

Or I tried to, anyway. Turns out I can't get at the part of the ductwork where the dust bunnies are most likely to be growing, without taking the dryer apart a lot further than I trust myself to be able to put it back together again :-(

I am not smart enough to debug my own code today. What should I do instead?

this is an example of a general principle relevant to all kinds of debugging: the longer you have spent hunting the bug, the more likely it is to turn out to be caused by a tiny, tiny mistake and/or a part of the code you're not looking at.

this is for the same reason that it's easy to not notice typos in natural language text: if you're reading at full speed, your brain is liable to substitute what ought to be there for what is there before that chunk of text reaches your conscious attention.

so don't beat yourself up when this happens to you, ok?

of course it was a two-character editing mistake in a part of the code that I wasn't paying any attention to

result of a solid week of hacking on $sideproject: I now know that one particular bug is definitely not in one particular file
