Some time last year, someone screen-shared a VSCode editing session with me, and I noticed it was highlighting brackets in source code in different colours according to their nesting level mod 3, so that it was easier to see which ones matched which.
That wasn't enough by a long way to make me switch editor from #emacs, but it seemed like a cool feature, and I occasionally thought about it wistfully.
Last week I mentioned it in passing to a friend, who said "Oh, in vim that feature is called 'rainbow brackets'". Then suddenly it was easy to find implementations for emacs too. I tried out https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-delimiters the next day to see if I'd _really_ like it. After a few days, it's clear I'm going to keep it (after reconfiguring it so I can actually see the difference).

The braces and parens are coloured in three colours depending on their depth, repeating the sequence [yellow, orange, lime-green] as you go deeper, so that the outermost brace at the end of the function is yellow, the ones inside that orange, and so on.
The most deeply nested code in the shot, in the first statement of the else clause, is six levels deep (counting both braces and parentheses), so that its innermost brackets are lime-green, the end of the second repetition of the colour sequence.](https://floof.org/photo/preview/640/747716 "A screenshot of some code from makeliteral_attr() in the PuTTY terminal code, shown in an X11 Emacs window.

As long as there is a way to make something make more money, some person that values money over all will force it to do that thing.
This is part of why I've started leaning so heavily away from things where the primary motivation for them is making money.

Also I recorded video of this two pieces, that were worked at the same time (to match colors and also to take advantage of the shades of paint that I was preparing)

The wizard finished the incantation, and the demon appeared in the sigil.
"Let us continue."
"Do you really not have any friends who could help," the demon asked
"I cannot show weakness."
"You'd show strength."
"Quiet!"
The demon sat, muttering "I can't wait for the invention of therapists."
@TheDragon 🔥 I've successfully avoided Amazon since January 2020. It's not as convenient as getting everything very fast from one place but I've found plenty of other places to get things from.
I'm finding that just about any place that has a "marketplace", where third parties can sell their own stuff through what looks like a single vendor, seems to get stuffed with crap very quickly, some of which doesn't even exist and others are cheap rubbish. Sometimes they use tricks of the platform to make themselves look cheaper/better than they are, like for example I've been seeing stuff on ebay where there are options for size/colour/etc, they'll add something like a "SIM eject tool", about the cheapest tool possible, as one of the "size" options just so that they get listed first when you sort by price.
I can only imagine when they figure out how to use generative models to produce listings (or do a better job of it than now) we'll find ourselves even less able to actually locate anything worthwhile.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look. :)

This week, Stephen Timms said the #PIP cuts that being unable to cut up food, dress, wash and use the toilet were "low level functional needs."
This is my friend’s response (it’s already had 300 reposts and is currently getting 200 views a minute on the Other Place)
Please boost if you can.
We need to be seen and heard.
I have 2 close friends (one of whom wrote the letter) and a trusted acquaintance from my activist circles who all work part time, but rely on PIP to do so. None of them will now be eligible for it or the benefits that arise from being eligible for PIP.
In each case medical consultants have said they are not able to carry out full time work…it would damage their health and one has been told explicitly it would put them in hospital. NHS will be hit badly by this cruelty
But how are they supposed to carry on living their lives on thousands of pounds less a year? What corners are ministers expecting them to cut? Food, heating, transport?

I'm actually a bit over an hour early at the place I need to go. Get to the car park "scan here to get payment app" oh joy. Download app. Enter car park code. Just Google pay and I'm done, yes?
No. Make an account. Attempt to log in. Says wrong password
Wtf. Make another account. Log in. There's short stay but only an hour and I'm a bit over an hour early. Piss. So I have to buy a DAY.
Enter reg no
Enter car make and colour.
Now I can Google pay?
NO enter all your card details.
Then enter your full name and address. Finally presspay and oh my fuck now Lloyds bank pops up ARE YOU SURE THIS ISN'T FRAUD and I have to go to THEIR app to biometric confirm.
Glad I wasn't rushing for a fucking train, jesus.
The old ticket machines were SO MUCH EASIER.
it wouldn't be so bad if they at least all used the same app, but I literally have 5 different parking apps now, and they're all terrible!
Be careful with the code scan ones, too. Super easy for people to cover the QR with a sticker that points to their own dodgy app you're then entering card details in. Best to just search the app store to make sure you're downloading the proper one!
The party was a great success. The princess listened with fascination as a dragon and a librarian were discussing storage and organizing of books.
"You two have so much in common!" she exclaimed.
"What? No! They share books," the dragon growled, disgusted.
"Indeed," the librarian said with pride.
No need to rush - just find a peaceful spot and enjoy the moment! 💜 #FursuitFriday

A polar bear stares straight ahead, framed in a classic portrait style, embracing his nerdy charm, because being a nerd is undeniably cute.
Traditonal. Acrylic painting. Another example for what I'll be working at the Artist Alley at TFF this weekend, I may be painting half body busts on this format, or head busts format like in my previous picture of the duck.
Also you can see the full video process for this picture, there is a short one on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco
And a longer version of the full process is available only for Patreons and Ko-Fi supporters, if you want to watch it, as well as many other painting’s process, full resolution versions, WIPs and pictures that I haven’t shared on my galleries nor social media, support me monthly, I would appreciate it and that would help me a lot to keep doing more art.

@ferret not knowingly/willingly o.o but I will check.
It went through a spare of "on startup, hang for 5 mins" then cleared. Oddly when I bought a new m.2 in case it was the drive
Now it's started again.
But not at this boot.
It's weird o.< I can stream data in and out of that drive at m.2 speeds usually. Just at startup, something is pushing a massive 4 MB/s and utilising /all/ of the drive. No reads. And can't see anything that could be doing it. As by the time process explorer has managed to launch.... It's stopped

Hank Green put out a pretty good video about the whole "dire wolf" situation with Colossal Bioscience. He talks about the good, and the bad of the situation. In short similar to what I speculated yesterday, these are not dire wolves, they're modified gray wolves. Gray wolves aren't the closest living relatives to dire wolves. And that while this is neat, and the research may be useful elsewhere they haven't "de-extincted" anything.

@Foxyn Thank you so much again for being on Mastadon too Furo. For when Bluesky inevitably runs out of capitol, it'll be so nice to already have an awesome, truly free and open place ^^
