@kinsey I'll return an error, yea, but you can just ignore the return value in that case.

@kinsey If os.Open (or os.Create) returns an error then the file pointer returned will be nil. So defer file.Close() would be... not ok.. wait? No, you can call Close() on a nil *os.File!

TIL

Sure it's the weekend now, but I know I won't have enough time to recover.

It's 03:58 local time. fml.

Work sucks. The moment I'm on vacation my life just gets better.

I turned off my alarms to make sure I get enough sleep, but I think that in the long run that makes it worse. I've been going in late to work several days in a row. Luckily I have access to work from home so I don't work that much less. But that also I think makes it worse in the long run.

The last couple of days I've been going to bed 2 hours later every night. This will certainly end in disaster if I don't do something.

@arielmt I remember disabling fast startup in Windows 10 because I'm dual booting Windows and Linux.

@kinsey @ky0ko Rob Pike and Ken Thompson were both part of the creation of utf-8 and go. The first implementation of utf-8 came out of the plan 9 project, which they were both part of, and if you have a look in the code you'll see the that rune is used in many of the variable names. So, it's no wonder that the character type is called rune in go.

@HTHR@cybre.space Oh no! Status changed to "Investigating Possible Irregularity for Data Products"

@HTHR@cybre.space Domain is registered to "Twitter, Inc.", I think it's official.
Twitter is now read only, and it's on purpose. 😜

@HTHR@cybre.space I don't know if that page is official though

@HTHR@cybre.space Twitter is unfortunately still accessible from where I am.

Oh... I can't tweet 🤷‍♀️

Expanded the factory a bit. I think this is a good size. I'm not going to expand the base further. It's time to create some outposts.

@selfsame Topologically that's just a normal coffee cup a.k.a. a donut 😁
