To get a more normal stateful and mutatable repl from Racket:

,require-reloadable

or just set

#publicServiceAnnouncement

$ cat owo.rkt
#lang racket

(define (start)
(thread (lambda ()
(let loop ()
(say-something)
(newline)
(sleep 2)
(loop)))))

(define (say-something)
(display "owo"))

$ racket

After two weeks of vacation, it took me almost the whole work day today to get through my emails.

I was all excited about digging in to the Go runtime to implement delimited continuations; instead I'll be spending the next good chunk of time debugging end user problems and helping clients get their designs into production. If I'm lucky there'll be some fun bugfixes/enhancements needed in my code.

So, upsetting the core Go developers will have to wait...

"So Thomas, how do you *really* feel about Dawkins?"

Pretty damn funny. If it was true then, and I'm doubtful, it sure isn't now.

Also, I guess that was supposed to sound *un*appealing?

Why does subscribing to a federated blog on Mastodon just show me the title and a Twitter-like card, when there's a post? What the hell is that about?

That's another thing Pleroma does much better ... It like actually includes the post, because of course you should.

Sweet, a hint of pungency, a bit of funk, very enjoyable. Better than most camembert or brie from cheese vendors (to say nothing of grocery store cheese). The one pictured above I'm going to let age a bit longer in my refrigerator. I expect the results to be great.
