Time for some silent hotel-room streaming. We'll start with updating the #pkgsrc package of #Python #ApprovalTests, then we'll find other things to do for however long naptime lasts.

@nat ah, yeah, the marginal cost of hosting one more thing was a big factor for me. If it was high, dunno what I’d have done. Getting into aggregators isn’t a big differentiator, I found that quite easy to do myself, but def nice that they’ll handle it.

@butchhoward Hoo boy, ChatGPT sure is… itself. Of your own ideas, I prefer the sillier ones to the more earnest. Looking back, I think I do about half boring names and half slightly silly.

@nat I did a fairly nontraditional podcast (https://agilein3minut.es) that I’ve always been glad to have self-hosted (https://schmonz.com/2015/09/23/my-podcasting-workflow/). So if it’s useful to consider the question, what are you hoping Transistor will do to serve your goals for the podcast?

@ska I might have known to interpret you more generously. Guess I’m too touchy on the topic. “zoo” is really speaking to me, BTW.

---

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/110640257720149769

@butchhoward my brain is all too willing to associate attempted-relevant meanings with those. But I’d rather hear some (if you have any handy) of the actual associations that led you to the names.

@ska hopefully not hundreds of times per day — for my own use case, at least, at present — but yes, subcommands, and fairly frequently, and your point about that is well taken. Your point about obsolete (or soon-to-be) tech merely further inflames my love for weird old shit. I came up on NetBSD/mac68k, I’ll have you know, and boy howdy is that a VM on my wishlist.

@GeePawHill oh. Well I gotta be able to script the living shit out of this. I don’t like how much I had to learn about the CLI I’m fronting to be able to make mine, but I like mine for my purposes waaaaay better.

What might you think to call it?

@deborahh truish! For musicians trained in the "Western art music" tradition, this notation is a lingua franca; for others, it's foreign. And advanced Western-art-music education invariably includes one or more of Italian, German, French, Russian, some others. Even though I didn't get music education that advanced, I could tell you what every one of those Italian words means, and I think that's true of most musicians with handwave roughly my level of experience.

Impossible to overstate how much playing through this (sometimes accompanied by 1-year-old) just did for my soul. I’ve loved #Medtner for decades and this music remains astonishingly ravishing and ravishingly astonishing.

Higher throughput comes from not tolerating obstacles to throughput.

What would have to be true for wanting to confidently deliver value to constitute an obstacle to higher throughput?

Was there any way we could defer the new work? Nope. Murray had a deadline too — same as ours.

Because we had a creative way to parallelize taking advantage of outside expertise, all of us met our commitments.

What way? #TDD.

In #SoftwareDevelopment, we occasionally meet a problem that we believe can be cost-effectively solved by working extra hours.

How often are we right — closer to always or to never? What timescale maximizes our chances? And what costs should we account?

1. Reversed the signs of software aging

2. Fundamentally changed our relationship with Operations

3. Identified a new paradigm for short-term collaboration

You know me, I can’t pass up a portmantopportunity. So I’ve renamed When All Tests Were Green to Greencently.

Recorded three days ago, finally: the third and final movement of #Medtner Op. 25 No. 1 “Sonata-Skazka”. Propulsive. With a bunch more practice I might could keep up.
